We take the security of your personal information very seriously and adhere strictly to the rules of the data security laws. Personal information is only collected on this website in the amount required for technical and organizational purposes. Under no circumstances will this gathered data be sold. The following explanation gives an overview on how we manage this protection and what sort of data is collected and for what reasons.
The contents of this website are presented with the greatest care possible. However, the provider does not guarantee the correctness, completeness, and topicality of the contents shown. Signed contributions give the views of the author in question and not necessarily the views of the website owner. The mere use of the website does not constitute a contractual relationship between the user and the website owner. As such there are no contractual or quasi-contractual claims against the provider. If the use of the website should lead to a contractual relationship then, as a purely precautionary measure, the following limitation of liability shall apply: the provider is liable for willful intent and gross negligence as well as for violation of an essential contractual obligation (cardinal obligation). The provider is liable under the limitation of replacement of the predictable typical damages for such damages at the time of the conclusion of the contract, which result from a minor negligent violation of a cardinal obligation by him or one of his legal representatives or assistants. The provider is not liable for minor negligent violations of secondary obligations which are not cardinal obligations. These limitations do not cover liability for damages which are covered by a guarantee given by the provider or an assurance from him, nor claims made due to the product liability law or claims arising from an injury to life, the body, or health.
This website contains connections to third party websites ("external links"). The respective operators are liable for these websites. At the time of the first connection to these external links the provider reviewed these websites for possible legal violations, but none were apparent. The provider has no influence at all over the current or future presentation and content of the linked websites. The provision of external links does not mean that the provider is in agreement with the link or content behind the link. A continual review of external links without a specific notification of a legal violation cannot be reasonably expected. Should the provider become aware of legal violations such external links will be immediately deleted.
In its decision from May 12, 1998 – 312 O 85/98 – “Haftung für Links” (liability for links) the Landgericht (LG) Hamburg decided that through the provision of a link a website provider may be liable for the content of the linked site. This can – according to the LG – only be prevented in that a website provider explicitly distances himself from the contents of the linked site. Hereby we distance ourselves explicitly from the content of all websites linked from this website. This statement applies to all the links found on our homepage. The individual operators are exclusively responsible for the content of those linked sites.
The provider will endeavor to ensure that the service is available without interruptions. Even if care is taken interruptions of service cannot be ruled out. The provider reserves the right to change his offering or cease providing the service at any time.
The contents of this website fall under the German copyright and intellectual property laws. Any use of this material which is not covered by the German copyright and intellectual property laws requires the previous written agreement of the provider or the respective rights holder. This applies particularly to copying, modification, translation, electronic copying, the use of or presentation of the content in databanks or other electronic media and systems. The contents and rights of third parties must be indicated as such. Unauthorized reproduction or forwarding of individual contents or complete pages is not permitted and is illegal. Only the creation of copies and downloads for personal, private and non-commercial use is permitted. Links to the provider’s website are always welcome and do not require the permission of this websites provider.
The presentation of this website in external frames is only permissible with prior permission.
If the content or the presentation of these pages should injure the rights of third parties or legal regulations, then we request an appropriate notification without an invoice. In order to prevent unnecessary legal disputes and costs we request that in case of competition, copyright, data protection, or other problems you make contact with us in advance. We guarantee that justifiably protested passages will be immediately removed without you having to engage legal assistance. The removal of a possible rights infringement from these pages by property rights owners may not take place without our agreement. Simultaneously we would like to point out that otherwise lawyer’s charges for legal assistance will be rejected as unjustified given the requirements for damage prevention and otherwise we will institute a counter-charge due to the injury of these regulations.
We cannot identify individuals from this information. This information will not be combined with information from other sources.
A user can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time through the appropriate setting in his computer browser and thereby permanently reject cookies. Additionally, previously placed cookies may be deleted at any time by an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the user should deactivate the placement of cookies in the browser he is using, then it is possible that not all functions of our website will be available to their full extent.
Information sent to us is only collected, processed, and saved for the purpose stated. The processing of the information entered into the contact form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR). You may revoke this permission at any time. An informal notification via email is sufficient. This does not influence the legality of the data processing done up to the time of the revocation. The information which you enter into the contact form remains with us, until you request that it be deleted, you revoke the permission to save it, or the purpose of the data is no longer given (such as after completed processing of your request). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – are not affected by this. It is possible that during the course of on-going medical treatment and for the purposes of medical documentation information will be taken from the contact form and put into the individual patient file. In this case the legal retention period for medical documentation applies. We protect the transmission of your personal data - for example in forms - with TSL encryption. All contact forms and registration for the information evening and the baby gallery will be sent to the selected clinic. When you sign the guestbook, this will be sent to the respective clinic and service partners commissioned by us. When downloading an eBook, the data is transmitted to the VivaNeo Group and service partners commissioned by us. To provide you with the highest level of security in communication with you, our forms are transmitted TLS-encrypted.
In order to send you the eBook, we need your e-mail address to improve the quality of our services. When downloading an eBook, the data is transmitted to the VivaNeo Group and service partners commissioned by us. You will receive no further messages.
Your data submitted when registering for the information evening will only be transmitted to the respective clinic - depending on the chosen date - for organization purposes only. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.
All data you send us in the form will be published in the baby gallery, except your contact details. This data is only used for the unique identification of data records, for queries or for processing a revocation. When you register in the baby gallery, your data will be transmitted to the respective clinic and service partners commissioned by us. Your data will be stored until your revocation.
All data you send us in the form will be published in the guestbook, except your contact details.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“, text files which are saved on your computer and enable an analysis of the websites you use. As a rule, the information obtained by the cookie about your use of this website is transferred to a Google server in the USA and is saved there. In the case of an activation of IP-anonymization on this website your IP address will be shortened within the member states of the European Union or in other participating states of the agreement in the European economic area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP-address be transferred to a server in the USA and shortened there. IP-anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the owner of this website Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website in order to create reports on the website activities and to provide other services connected to the website and the use of the internet to the website operator. The IP-address which is provided by your browser to Google Analytics will not be combined with other data at Google. You can prevent the placement of cookies with the appropriate setting in your web browser, but we must point out that in such a case you will not be able to completely use all the functions of the website. Additionally, you can also prevent the transfer and use of the information on your use of the website which the cookie has collected (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google when you load and install the browser plug-in at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. As an alternative to the browser add-on, or within browsers on mobile devices, click on this link in order to prevent the collection by Google Analytics within this website (the Opt Out functions only in the browser and only for this domain). This will install an Opt Out cookie on your computer. If you should delete the cookies in this browser then the link must be clicked again.
On our website we use an on-line advertising program from Google Inc. called Google AdWords. This uses conversion tracking. With this tool Google AdWords places a cookie on your PC when you come to our website via a Google advertisement. After 30 days the cookie is no longer effective. It is not used to trace you. If you, as a user, visit our website and the cookie is still functional then both we and Google can see that you clicked on a certain advertisement and were directed to our website. In doing so every Google AdWords customer has another cookie placed. Such cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of the AdWords customers. Information collected by the conversion cookies is used to collect conversion statistics for AdWords customers. In this manner we as customers discover the total number of customers who have reacted to one of our advertisements and are thereby directed to a website which is equipped with a conversion tracking tag. This procedure does not give us any information which we could use to identify you personally as a user. If you do not want this tracking procedure to be used then the cookie for the Google conversion tracking can be deactivated in your internet browser. Please use the Help function in the browser for further information. More information on the Google data protection rules may be found under http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
The Data Controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, music videos, trailers or videos produced by users themselves can be called up via the Internet portal.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the Data Controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. More information about YouTube can be found at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/ In the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google are informed which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged on to YouTube at the same time, by calling up a subpage containing a YouTube video, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged on to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desired by the data subject, the data subject can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before calling up our website.
In order to improve user experiences the website uses the software Hotjar (http://www.hotjar.com, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe). By using Hotjar user behaviour (mouse moves, clicks, scroll height, etc) on websites can be measured and evaluated. For this purpose Hotjar installs cookies on user machines and can collect and save user data such as the operating system, user time on the website, etc. in anonymous form. You can prevent this data processing by Hotjar if you change your browser settings to deactivate cookies and delete already active cookies. More information on Hotjar data processing may be found here. If you do not want us to collect your data using Hotjar, you can prevent Hotjar from collecting your data at any time by going to www.hotjar.com/opt-out and clicking "Disable Hotjar" or by activating "Do Not Track (DNT)" in your browser.
In order to better determine over which channels, or which websites calls are being generated the website uses the call-tracking tool from MaTelSo to track telephone calls. MaTelSo is a German firm (MaTelSo GmbH, Heilbronner Str. 150, 70191 Stuttgart, Deutschland, www.matelso.de). For reporting the tool is linked with Google Analytics. More information may be found here: https://www.matelso.de/.
The legal basis for the data processing in the digital patient information system is Art. 6, para. 1, letter a GDPR. The only information which is collected is that which is required for mail and SMS correspondence. The only data which is processed is that for which you have previously given your consent for this purpose. Personal and medical information from your patient file will also be part of the mailing and SMS correspondence. The email address and cell telephone number will only be used for mailing and SMS use. The mailings and SMS messages will not be encrypted.
You can revoke your registration via the deregistration link in any mailing at any time. Of course, a revocation only applies to future mailing or SMS messages. You always have a right to know which personal information of yours we have saved and used for mailing and SMS messages. Only the center involved in your treatment has access to your personal information. The information is saved in accordance with the legal retention periods for medical data. If this data should not be correct, we will of course correct or delete it as soon as we are notified. For such purposes please contact info@vivaneo.de . In case of complaint you may also contact the responsible state data protection office.
