Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
medtech partner is a registered brand of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG
We greatly appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG. The use of the websites of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e‑mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to bizzy GmbH & Co. KG.
By means of this Privacy Policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this Privacy Policy.
As the controller responsible for processing, bizzy GmbH & Co. KG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us by alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
Definitions
The Privacy Policy of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
In this Privacy Policy, we use the following terms, among others:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Name and Address of the Controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions with a data protection character is:

Information about cookies and how we use them can be found in our Cookie Policy
Collection of General Data and Information
Each time the website of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a series of general data and information is collected and stored in the server’s log files. The following information may be collected:
the types and versions of browsers used,
the operating system used by the accessing system,
the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
the date and time of access to the website,
an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
other similar data and information that serve to protect against threats in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, bizzy GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to:
deliver the content of our website correctly,
optimize the content of our website and its advertising,
ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and website technology, and
provide the necessary information to law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyberattack.
Therefore, this anonymously collected data and information is evaluated by bizzy GmbH & Co. KG both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process.
The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
Registration on Our Website
Data subjects have the opportunity to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for transfer to one or more processors (e.g., a parcel service), which will also use the personal data solely for an internal purpose attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data will not be disclosed to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to disclose it or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer content or services that can only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the database of the controller.
The controller shall, at any time upon request, provide each data subject with information about which personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Subscription to Our Newsletter
On the website of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter.
bizzy GmbH & Co. KG informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The company newsletter may, in principle, only be received by the data subject if:
the data subject has a valid e‑mail address, and
the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing.
For legal reasons, a confirmation e‑mail in the double opt-in procedure will be sent to the e‑mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch. This confirmation e‑mail serves to check whether the owner of the e‑mail address, as the data subject, has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to trace (possible) misuse of a data subject’s e‑mail address at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be informed by e‑mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or a change in technical circumstances. There is no transfer of the personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties.
The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to communicate this to the controller in another way.
If we engage a third-party provider to send the newsletter or to use a newsletter software solution, we will explicitly indicate this on our website. In such cases, the privacy policies of the commissioned provider apply accordingly.
Use of Google reCAPTCHA
We use the Google reCAPTCHA service to determine whether data entered in our contact or newsletter form is provided by a human or by an automated program. Google verifies this based on the following data: the IP address of the device used, the specific web page you visit on our site where reCAPTCHA is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, recognition data of the browser and operating system used, Google account information (if you are logged into Google), mouse movements on the reCAPTCHA area, and tasks in which you must identify images.
The legal basis for the described data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the security of our website and protecting it against automated inputs (abuse and attacks).
Newsletter Tracking / Link Tracking
The newsletters and certain links on the website of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in e‑mails sent in HTML format, enabling log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns.
Based on the embedded tracking pixel, bizzy GmbH & Co. KG can see if and when an e‑mail was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the e‑mail were accessed.
The personal data collected through tracking pixels contained in the newsletters/links are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter distribution and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate consent declaration provided via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by bizzy GmbH & Co. KG as a revocation.
Contact via the Website
The website of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG contains, due to legal requirements, information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us. This also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (e‑mail address).
If a data subject contacts the controller by e‑mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is granted by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data shall be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Rights of the Data Subject
Every data subject has the following rights under the GDPR:
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right of access
Each data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator grants the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of the processing,
the categories of personal data concerned,
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations,
where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period,
the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing,
the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority,
where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source,
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to know whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In such case, the data subject has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
c) Right to rectification
Each data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by bizzy GmbH & Co. KG, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG shall ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where bizzy GmbH & Co. KG has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, bizzy GmbH & Co. KG, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required.
e) Right of restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of processing of personal data stored by bizzy GmbH & Co. KG, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee will arrange the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. He or she shall also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
In exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG at any time.
g) Right to object
Each data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
bizzy GmbH & Co. KG shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where bizzy GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to bizzy GmbH & Co. KG to the processing for direct marketing purposes, bizzy GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by bizzy GmbH & Co. KG for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision:
is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision is:
necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
based on the data subject’s explicit consent,
bizzy GmbH & Co. KG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view, and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may contact any employee of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent
Each data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact any employee of bizzy GmbH & Co. KG at any time.
Data Protection in Applications and the Application Process
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the recruitment process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e‑mail or via a web form on the website.
If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller prevent such deletion. A legitimate interest in this sense could be, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there.
If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, be shortened by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
You may prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party—such as processing operations required for the supply of goods or the provision of another service—processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries concerning our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)© GDPR.
In rare cases, processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and his or her name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or third party. In this case, processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).
Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
Period for Which Personal Data Will Be Stored
The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or the initiation of a contract.
Provision of Personal Data as Statutory or Contractual Requirement
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., details of the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us.
The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision of the personal data would be.
Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
Objection to Advertising Emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the transmission of advertising and information materials not expressly requested. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.
