Data protection provisions of MedExam.app.ch
1 The security of user data comes first
MedExam.app.ch respects the privacy of all users of the website or the online shop (hereinafter referred to as "the customer" or "the customer"). These data protection provisions form the basis for the processing of personal data and provide information about the type of user data that MedExam.app.ch collects from customers, how MedExam.app.ch uses this data and what rights the customers are entitled to. MedExam.app.ch complies with the applicable data protection laws and processes the personal data solely for the purposes for which the data were transmitted.
These data protection provisions are adapted, supplemented or changed from time to time. With each new call or visit to the website, the current, available version applies.
If there are any contradictions between this data protection declaration and the otherwise applicable contractual or terms and conditions of MedExam.app.ch, the provisions of this data protection declaration take precedence.
2 type and purpose of the data collected The term “personal data” or “personal data” in the sense of this data protection declaration includes information by means of which the customers can be personally identified. The processing of personal data is understood to mean any handling of personal data, such as collecting, using, storing, disclosing, transmitting or deleting the data. On the one hand, MedExam.app.ch automatically collects personal data when the customer interacts with the website or uses the online shop. On the other hand, personal data that a customer makes available (e.g. by contacting, creating a user profile or customer account) is recorded automatically or manually.
2.1 Data that is collected automatically When visiting the MedExam.app.ch website, statistical visitor data is automatically collected about which parts of the website are visited by the customer. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, the customer's IP address, the date and time of the request, the browser used, the operating system, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data). contains and documents the call. In this context, it is sometimes necessary that so-called cookies (see section 4 below) are used. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer.
2.2 Data when interacting with MedExam.app.ch, for processing contracts, establishing contact and opening a customer account MedExam.app.ch does not automatically collect personal data from customers, such as name, address, telephone number or email address. On the other hand, personal data is collected from customers if a customer voluntarily provides this in the context of an order or when contacting MedExam.app.ch (e.g. using the contact form or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such, because in these cases MedExam.app.ch requires the data to process the contract or to process the contact and the order or contact cannot be sent without specifying them. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. If a customer decides to open a customer account, MedExam.app.ch uses the personal data for the purpose of opening a customer account. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full, otherwise MedExam.app.ch can refuse registration. MedExam.app.ch uses the collected personal data only for the purpose of using the online shop or the respective offer or service for which the customer has registered. In addition, MedExam.app.ch can use the customer's e-mail address to inform them of important changes, such as the scope of the offer, or of technically necessary changes. After the contract has been fully processed or after the customer account has been deleted, the customer's data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the tax and commercial retention periods have expired, unless the customer has expressly consented to further use of the data or MedExam.app.ch reserves the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law. The deletion of the customer account is possible at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact details given below (see section 9 below) or using a function provided in the customer account.
3 Legal basis for collecting and processing personal data The legal basis for the collection and processing of the customer's personal data depends in each individual case on the respective purpose of the data processing. In particular, the following are eligible: the protection of the legitimate interests of MedExam.app.ch, provided that the interests of the customer or fundamental rights or freedoms are not inappropriately impaired; the conclusion or performance of a contract; or Consent of the customer at the time the personal data is collected. The customer can revoke his consent at any time. For this purpose, the customer can send a corresponding message to the contact details described below. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
4 Use of cookies and use of data
4.1 Cookies In order to continuously improve the website for customers, MedExam.app.ch can use cookies. Cookies are small pieces of software information that are stored on the customer's computer hard drive by a web browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) in order to facilitate the use of the website (e.g. language selection, shopping cart, etc.). Some of the cookies used by MedExam.app.ch are deleted again at the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing the web browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on the end device and enable MedExam.app.ch to recognize the customer's web browser on the next visit (so-called persistent cookies). The duration of the storage can be found in the overview in the cookie settings of the web browser. Most web browsers automatically accept such cookies, but the web browser can be configured in such a way that they do not accept or save cookies. If cookies are deactivated, however, the functionality of the website may be restricted. Details on this can be found in the operating instructions or the help function of the web browser.
4.2 Use of the data The anonymized data, which are recorded by means of cookies when the MedExam.app.ch website is accessed, can be used for web analysis purposes, to optimize the website and to measure performance. MedExam.app.ch can use third-party providers for this, some of which have their own data protection regulations, over which MedExam.app.ch has no influence. MedExam.app.ch uses functions of the following web analysis services: Google Analytics The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google evaluates the use of the website in order to compile reports on website activity and to provide MedExam.app.ch with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by the customer's web browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The information generated by cookies about the use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google observes the data protection regulations of the «Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield ”agreement and has signed up with the US Department of Commerce for the“ Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield »(information on the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield can be found at https://www.privacyshield.gov/Swiss-US-Privacy-Shield-FAQs). Further information can be found in Google's data protection declaration at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de. Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. As part of Google AdWords, MedExam.app.ch uses so-called conversion tracking. When the customer clicks on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days at the latest and are not used to identify the customer. If the customer visits the MedExam.app.ch website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and MedExam.app.ch can recognize that the customer clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. MedExam.app.ch learns from Google the total number of users who clicked on the ad and were forwarded to the website with a conversion tracking tag. However, MedExam.app.ch does not receive any information with which the customer can be personally identified. Further information can be found in Google's data protection declaration at https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/. Google Maps The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. MedExam.app.ch uses Google Maps for the visual representation of geographic information.

Further information can be found in Google's data protection declaration at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps/.
4.3 Social Media Content MedExam.app.ch can use social media plugins from social networks such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter on the website. When the customer calls up a website that contains such a plugin, the web browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly to the web browser by the respective provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the information that the customer's web browser has called up the corresponding MedExam.app.ch website, even if the customer does not have a profile on the relevant social network or is not currently logged in. This information (including the IP address) is transmitted directly from the customer's web browser to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there. If the customer is logged in to one of the services, the providers of the social network can directly assign the visit to the MedExam.app.ch website to the profile in the respective social network. If the customer interacts with the plugins, for example using the “Like” or “Share” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information is also published on the social network and displayed to the customer's contacts there. These social network platforms have their own data protection regulations, over which MedExam.app.ch has no influence. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers on their pages as well as a contact option and the related rights of customers and setting options to protect privacy can be found in the provider's data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php https://twitter.com/de/privacy https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 If the customer does not want any of these plugins to be loaded, it is recommended to log out of the relevant social network. Furthermore, various web browsers can be set or supplemented with add-ons (e.g. Facebook blockers) so that the social media plugins are not loaded.
5 newsletters If the customer would like to receive a newsletter offered by MedExam.app.ch, MedExam.app.ch needs the customer's email address and other information that allows verification that the customer is the owner of the email address provided and agrees to receive the newsletter (so-called “double opt-in” procedure). If the customer would like to register for a newsletter as a registered customer, he can give his consent at the time of registration or later using the registration function in the customer account. With the newsletter, the customer regularly receives recommendations and offers that might interest him. To this end, MedExam.app.ch collects and processes personal data relating to the customer's usage behavior on the website, orders from MedExam.app.ch and how the customer uses the newsletter (e.g. whether the newsletter is opened or to which web URL Left clicked). MedExam.app.ch can evaluate this data for statistical purposes in order to better tailor the content of the newsletter to the interests of the customers. The processing of the personal data entered in the newsletter registration form is based on the consent of the customer, which he can revoke at any time for the future. The revocation takes place either via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter, written notification by the customer to MedExam.app.ch at the address listed below or by deregistering in the customer account.

In addition, if service providers who support MedExam.app.ch in data processing, the administration of the website or in any other way, as well as in the provision of the products and services requested by the customer, are called in (e.g. parcel or newsletter delivery service providers). These third parties are obliged to maintain the same level of security and data protection as MedExam.app.ch.
7 Data security Unfortunately, the transmission of data over the Internet is not completely secure. MedExam.app.ch works with service providers and internet providers who take appropriate technical and organizational security precautions to protect customers' personal data. However, MedExam.app.ch cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted by the customer. Any data transfer is therefore at your own risk.

Participation in the special services on the MedExam.app.ch website, such as the newsletter service, can also be revoked at any time.
