We protect your data in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation).
The protection of your personal data is very important to us. This data protection information provides information about what data SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH (hereinafter "SCHWIND") collects as the publisher of this website during your visit to our websites and how we use this data.
SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH wants to give you as much control over your personal data as possible. Normally you can visit our website without providing any personal information.
However, in some areas of the SCHWIND website(s) you will be asked to enter personal information that will enable us to increase the value of the site for you and help us to stay in touch with you. You are asked for such data when you fill out and send our contact form or subscribe to our newsletter "SCHWIND NEWS", for example. If you request us not to use this data for further contact, we will respect your request, as well as if you unsubscribe as a recipient of SCHWIND NEWS.
Some of the data that SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions stores is data that you have voluntarily provided by filling out forms, while other data is collected automatically.
The data collected on this website are processed by the website operator, us, SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions GmbH Our contact details can be found in the website's required legal notice.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Many data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
We herewith object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.
We collect the listed data to ensure a smooth connection establishment of the website and to enable a comfortable use of our website by the users. The log files are also used to evaluate system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
For reasons of technical security, in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server, these data may be temporarily stored by us. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons on the basis of this data. After seven days at the latest, the data is made anonymous by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. These data are not evaluated in anonymous form except for statistical purposes. These data are not combined with data from other data sources.
If you send us enquiries by email or use our contact form, your details from the enquiry form including the contact data provided by you there will be stored with us for the purpose of processing the enquiry, in the event of follow-up questions and for promotional purposes in connection with establishing contact (e.g. sending information material, initiating a contract). Should a transmission of information or documents to third parties be necessary, we will remove all personal data not required for the stated purpose beforehand. If it is necessary to answer your inquiry, we will forward your data to the sales partner responsible for you. Furthermore, we will not pass on your data without your consent.
The legal basis for the processing of these data for communication and advertising purposes is, with the user's consent, Art.6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art.6(1)(f) GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art.6 exp. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The user's data collected via the contact form or by contacting us by email will be deleted as soon as the user's inquiry has been finally clarified without a contract having been concluded with the user. If the processing of the data is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), you can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing processes carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data entered by you in the email will remain with us until you request us to delete it, until you revoke your consent to its storage or until the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
You can search for sales partners for our products on our website. When using the sales partner search, we as the manufacturer receive a copy of your inquiry to the sales partner, so that we can support the sales partner in finding the best technical solution for you in a timely manner. The legal basis for the storage of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the storage of data for the optimized provision of our services, in particular in the storage of data for the optimized provision of our services, especially in the configuration and planning of our products and the recording of market demand trends. . If we conclude a contract with a manufacturer's guarantee, the additional legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The data is transmitted to the selected sales partner. The legal basis for this is Art.6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, as the search for distribution partners is aimed at the conclusion of a contract.
If the distribution partner is in a non-secure third country, the data will be transferred with the consent of the applicant pursuant to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR after the applicant has been informed about the risks of data transfer due to the lack of comparable data protection levels in the recipient country and the lack of guarantees for data security by the data transfer authorities involved. Furthermore, when searching for a distribution partner in a non-safe third country, the transfer is necessary for the fulfilment of the search request, so that Art. 49 para. 1 lit. b GDPR also serves as the legal basis.
The data of the inquirer will be deleted as soon as the inquiry of the user has been finally clarified, without the conclusion of a contract with the user. If a manufacturer's warranty contract is concluded, the data will be deleted when the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods within the framework of possible business correspondence or for tax reasons - remain unaffected by this.
On our website we offer the free download of product and advertising brochures for our laser systems. For this purpose, we collect the cash on delivery, the email address and the country of the interested party in a form before the download. The offer is directed exclusively at commercial customers for the purpose of initiating a contractual relationship as well as for advertising information of our products. After entering the data, the interested party receives a download link by email, with which he can then download the documents.
The legal basis of data processing in the initiation of a contractual relationship is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. For general advertising purposes, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is the legal basis. Our legitimate interest results from the security of preventing misuse of our advertising material and enabling the download of brochures in the applicable language.
We store and use the data for advertising purposes until we receive an objection. If data is stored for contract fulfilment or contract initiation, it is deleted when the data is no longer required for these purposes. The statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this.
Within the scope of the physician inquiry, direct communication with the requested physician takes place via your email program after your selection of the responsible physician.

Please note, however, that emails are generally not sent in encrypted form and that the applicants themselves must ensure that they are encrypted. We cannot therefore accept any responsibility for the transmission of the application between the sender and receipt on our server and therefore recommend that you use an online form or the postal dispatch. Instead of using the online application form and email, applicants can still send us their application by post.
As part of the application, we offer applicants the opportunity to be included in our "talent pool" for a period of two years on the basis of consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. and Art. 7 GDPR.
