Cookies and other services

Our medical practice may use cookies on its website. Cookies contain a so-called cookie ID, a unique identifier of the cookie, which assigns websites and servers to a specific Internet browser. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via this unique cookie ID. Such information about the use of this website (including your IP address) may, for example in the case of Google Analytics, be transferred to servers abroad and stored there. By using our website, you consent to the transfer of this data. Our medical practice may use other services offered by third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or articles, into the website. Such integration always presupposes that these third-party providers can collect and process the IP address and other information of visitors to this website. By using our website, you agree to this.

Wordfence

To protect our website against unauthorised access, cyberattacks, malware and other security risks, we use the security service Wordfence. The provider is Defiant, Inc., 1700 Westlake Ave N Ste 200, Seattle, WA 98109, USA. Wordfence analyses access to our website and compares it with known attack patterns and security information. In doing so, technical data such as the IP address or proxy IP address, the URL accessed, HTTP headers and other information transmitted with a request may in particular be processed. In the case of logged-in users, additional information such as the username and email address may be processed. The data processing serves exclusively to ensure the security of our website and to detect and prevent unauthorised or harmful access. As part of the use of Wordfence, personal data may be transferred to Defiant, Inc. in the USA and processed there. For data transfers from Switzerland, Defiant uses the Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission with the adaptations required under Swiss data protection law. These Standard Contractual Clauses are recognised by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) as an appropriate safeguard for cross-border data transfers. Further information on data processing by Wordfence can be found in Wordfence's privacy information and data protection terms.

Data Processing on Behalf of the Controller

Defiant, Inc. generally processes the personal data transmitted in connection with Wordfence on our behalf as a processor. This processing is governed by the Data Processing Addendum provided by Defiant, which forms part of the contractual terms for the use of Wordfence.
