II Data processing activities

A. Data processing in the context of treatments

1. description and scope of data processing

Data processing is carried out in order to carry out your treatment and fulfill the associated obligations. In this context, we process your data in the following contexts

  • Checking your suitability for treatment
  • Coordinating appointments between you and the therapists
  • Evaluation of the data in the course of your treatment
  • Statistical evaluations to improve our services. We evaluate which patients come to us so that the right therapists can be recruited and the right equipment purchased
  • Billing of treatment services

In detail:

Before you can take part in Personal Bionic Training, the individually adapted standing and walking training in EksoTM GT (hereinafter: "PBT"), we must check whether you are suitable for the training. To do this, you must first register on our website and complete a questionnaire ("Registration", link:https://www.tech2people.at/therapie/ersttermin/). In addition to your contact details, the questionnaire also asks for health-related data (such as illnesses, anatomical measurements, etc.). We also require medical clearance from your doctor ("Medical clearance"). If the examination shows that you are suitable for PBT, you will be activated for training and can book training sessions online via us with the therapist of your choice. In this respect, we also coordinate the appointments between you and the therapists. Invoicing is also handled by us.

As part of PBT, your training data is collected and evaluated and other health-related data is collected from you (such as the success of your treatment). This data is required to carry out the treatment and to measure the success of the treatment. Doctors, physiotherapists or other therapists with whom you are being treated may also provide us with data for these purposes. Conversely, we also make your data (in particular health data) available to doctors, physiotherapists or other therapists with whom you are undergoing treatment if this is necessary for your treatment and there is a corresponding legal basis (such as your consent).

In addition, we process the data collected during your treatment in anonymized form as part of statistics and analyses for clinical studies. This serves the purpose of improving the therapy and proving the efficiency of the therapy. If we intend to use your data in personalized form for research purposes, we will inform you separately and ask for your consent.

The collection and processing of health data is a prerequisite for your treatment. If the necessary information is not provided, careful and safe treatment cannot take place.

We also process your data in order to bill you for treatment services.

2 Purpose of data processing

We process this data for the purpose of carrying out the treatment and complying with legal provisions and industry standards. For details, see point II.A.1 above.

3. legal basis for data processing

Processing activities that are necessary to carry out and process the treatment are based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

If your health data is also processed in this context, your consent constitutes the legal basis for this processing (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. You can find more information about your rights under point IV. The collection and processing of health data is a prerequisite for your treatment. If you do not consent to the processing of your data, you will not be able to participate in our treatment. The same applies if you withdraw your consent at a later date. Please note, however, that we must continue to store the data collected in the course of your treatment even after you have withdrawn your consent in accordance with statutory provisions. In addition, we will continue to process your data in anonymized form to improve the therapy and to prove its effectiveness.

Therapists who belong to a health profession and are subject to professional secrecy process your health data as independent controllers (independently of tech2people) on the basis of Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h GDPR (such as doctors pursuant to Sections 51 and 54 ÄrzteG and physiotherapists pursuant to Sections 1c and 11c MTD-Gesetz).

Processing activities that are required due to legal provisions are based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. g GDPR.

The purpose of our use of this tool is to enable us to analyze your user interactions on websites and in apps and to use the statistics and reports obtained to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can find information about the cookies set by Google Analytics in your browser on the following page: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage

The website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. Data is only transmitted to Google in the USA in this non-personalized form. (Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there).Google is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. We have also agreed so-called standard contractual clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.

In addition, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which came into force on July 10, 2023, applies to the transfer of personal data to the USA. Based on self-certification (proof of compliance with the new data protection framework), companies from the USA are included in a list. Google LLC is included in the list as "Active". You can view the list at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search

Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google Inc. under any circumstances. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

5. targeted advertising

We use your data for personalized advertising that is presented to you on our website and on the websites and apps of other providers (onsite and in-app optimization of ads).

We use standard internet technologies, in particular to place advertisements in social networks (e.g. Google Ads) and on advertising spaces that are provided to us via online advertising networks such as DoubleClick from Google. This enables us to advertise in a more targeted manner in order to only present you with advertising and offers that are actually relevant to you. These technologies are only used if you have given your consent via our consent management platform in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (see above).

In the case of online advertising, your data may be transmitted to providers of social networks and other marketing partners. The main technologies and services we currently use are

i) Google Ads: We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertisements. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent.

The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we and other websites use so-called ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. We can obtain information about the success of our advertising campaigns via the Google Ads cookies stored on our website. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that a user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

The cookies set by Google enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer so that the cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of other Ads customers. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We ourselves do not independently collect personal data in the course of the aforementioned advertising measures, but only provide Google with the opportunity to collect the data. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google, which provide information on which advertisements were clicked on how often and at what prices. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.

You can withdraw your consent at any time without this affecting the permissibility of processing up to the time of withdrawal. The easiest way to revoke your consent is via our consent management platform (see above) or via the following functions: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies so that you do not receive any ads from third-party providers; b) by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, c) by making the appropriate setting in My Ad Center under the link www.google.com/settings/ads, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; f) by permanently deactivating cookies in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has imposed a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield. We have also agreed so-called standard data protection clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to maintain an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.

In addition, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which came into force on July 10, 2023, applies to the transfer of personal data to the USA. Based on self-certification (proof of compliance with the new data protection framework), companies from the USA are included in a list. Google LLC is included in the list as "Active".

ii) Google Tag Manager: We use Google Tag Manager ("GTM"), a tag management system for managing JavaScript and HTML tags used to track and analyze websites. Tags are small code elements that are used, among other things, to measure traffic and visitor behavior: to understand the impact of online advertising and social channels; to set up remarketing and targeting; and to test and optimize websites. GTM makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags.

The legal basis for the processing of your data in this respect is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is via our consent management platform (see above). If you have opted out, GTM will take this into account.

6. integration of information videos on our website

We have integrated YouTube components to optimize our website ("YouTube plugin"). YouTube is an Internet video portal where video clips can be viewed, rated, commented on and uploaded free of charge. The processing of personal data when using YouTube is carried out by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as the controller.

  • Health data such as diagnosis and data on therapy devices used
  • Payment information
  • IP address
  • Date and time of access to the online offer
  • messages
  • Usage behavior (e.g. opening and click rates of messages, click rates of links in a message, reactions to campaigns, use of our website)

We use a so-called double opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. we will only send you news if you first confirm your registration via a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose using a link contained therein.

If you have given us your consent, we will send you information tailored to your interests at regular intervals by e-mail about news from the company, including new devices, new blog articles, upcoming events, special offers and services. We may also contact you as part of customer surveys and customer care (e.g. reminders).

We optimize and personalize our information about news from the company as well as customer surveys and other messages in the context of customer care. For the purpose of personalization, we use automated data processing methods to analyze your usage behavior in order to gain new insights. This process is profiling in accordance with Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR. By creating a personal user profile, we want to tailor our information and advertising to your interests and optimize our offers for you. This means that, in addition to general messages, you will also receive information tailored specifically to you.

As part of processing via Brevo, data may be transferred to third countries. The security of the transfer is regularly ensured by so-called standard contractual clauses, which guarantee that the processing of personal data is subject to a level of security that complies with the GDPR.
