Data protection notes

Dent|Natura takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. The aim of our data processing is only to collect, process or use the necessary personal data for meaningful and efficient use of our services.

We have undertaken technical and organisation measures, which ensure that the data protection rules are complied with. Our services are specifically governed by the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

Storage of data with access to your website

In conjunction with your access, data are stored on our servers for backup purposes, which may possible permit identification (for example, IP address, data, time and pages viewed). These are not used in a personalised form. In order to evaluate and continuously improve the quality of our website, we conduct statistical evaluations on the access to our website. This partially also occurs by using counting graphics in our website. However, the data acquired in this way are strictly anonymised and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn regarding the users’ personal data.

Use without disclosure of identity

Our website is basically usable without disclosing your identity. In the event of participation in one of our personalised services, you will be asked separately for the necessary data for processing the services. It is your free choice to participate in these services and enter the relevant data.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

We generally do not disclose any personal data to third parties. In particular, no disclosure of data occurs to third parties for marketing purposes. However, in the event that you use our personalised services, it may be necessary to collect and disclosed personalised data to third parties for the purpose of implementing and processing the service. However, these data are only stored or disclosed to the extent necessary for order processing. For this, an explicit declaration of consent is required when filling out the relevant form. Third parties to whom your data are disclosed, within the context of order processing, shall also be bound by the legal stipulations for handling personal data. To the extent that we are legally required or judicially ordered to do so, we shall send data to the relevant offices that are entitled to receive information.
