Privacy Policy
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will only be processed by us in accordance with the provisions of German data protection law and will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. Data is personal when it can be clearly assigned to a specific natural person. The legal basis for data protection can be found in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). The following regulations inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, use and processing of personal data.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is
Dr. Marc H. Zimmermann M.Sc.
Sauvageodstrasse 4
48529 Nordhorn
Tel: 05921-5514
The complete legal notice can be accessed via the following link: https://zahnmedizin-nordhorn.de/impressum/
The controller responsible for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. The controller has not appointed a data protection officer for their company.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
Cookies
The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Our site does not use cookies.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. For the most common browsers, you can change the settings as described in the linked instructions here:

Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
The individual pages of our website (URL)
Date and time at the time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you accessed the page
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used
This data cannot be assigned to specific people. The processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. This data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use. Non-anonymized server log files are automatically deleted after four weeks at the latest.
Our website is stored with a hosting service provider who provides us with infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services. We have concluded an order processing agreement with this company. The data processing takes place for the purpose of ensuring the operational readiness of our website, in which we have a legitimate interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Social media presence
In order to inform our users, we maintain online presences within social networks. User data may also be processed outside the European Union. Since this could make it more difficult to enforce user rights, there may be risks for the user. US providers who are certified under the Privacy Shield have committed to complying with EU data protection standards.
As a rule, user data is processed for advertising and market research purposes, e.g. by drawing conclusions about corresponding interests from user behavior, which means that advertisements can be displayed within the platforms, but also outside of them, that correspond to the determined interests. This is done through the use of cookies, the use of which can be objected to as described above under the corresponding point. In addition, platforms can also create user profiles from this and save them independently of the devices used by the users.
On the basis of effective communication and information for users, we process personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If users have given their consent to data processing to the respective providers, for example by confirming a button or ticking a checkbox, the processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR. Further information on the processing of user data by external providers and options for objection can be found on the corresponding pages of the respective platform:

If SSL encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
