Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high priority for the management of Asli Tarcan Clinic. The use of the internet pages of Asli Tarcan Clinic is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data might become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Asli Tarcan Clinic. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Asli Tarcan Clinic is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

  2. b) Data subject
    Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
  3. c) Processing

  4. d) Restriction of processing
    Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
  5. e) Profiling
    Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
  6. f) Pseudonymisation
    Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  7. g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
    Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

  9. i) Recipient
    Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
  10. j) Third party
    Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

    Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:

Asli Tarcan Clinic
Maltepe, Eski Londra Asfaltı Cd. Kale Avrupa Konutları No: 32, 34010 Zeytinburnu/İstanbul

3. Cookies

The website of Asli Tarcan Clinic uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified by its unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Asli Tarcan Clinic can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised with the user in mind. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make the use of our website easier for users. A user of a website that uses cookies does not, for example, have to re-enter his or her access data each time the website is visited, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of Asli Tarcan Clinic collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or an automated system calls up the website. These general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) any other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Asli Tarcan Clinic does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

If you are a customer of ours or have used one of our services, we use your telephone number and e-mail address to send you information on consultation and advertising for our own similar offers via messenger, e-mail or telephone call. You may object to this use at any time. We use your data in connection with the agreement between you and us for information, consultation, support and advertising for our own similar offers. If you are not yet our customer and do not wish to receive advertising, we will change this immediately for you. You may revoke your consent at any time.

5. Contact possibility via the website

The website of Asli Tarcan Clinic contains, due to legal regulations, information that enables quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us (see section 2). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. By entering your data in our forms, you grant us permission to store these data and to use them for advertising purposes.

6. Comment function in the blog on the website

The website of Asli Tarcan Clinic offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based, usually publicly accessible portal, in which one or more persons, called bloggers or web-bloggers, may post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. Blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, the comments made by the data subject are also stored and published, as are details on the date of the comment entry and on the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is logged. This storage of the IP address is carried out for security reasons and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content by submitting a comment. The storage of these personal data is therefore in the own interest of the controller, so that it could exculpate itself in the event of an infringement. There is no transfer of these personal data to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the controller’s legal defence.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this is granted by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Rights of the data subject

The information regarding flights, transfers and hotel accommodation is based exclusively on the information provided by the respective service providers. The intermediary is therefore only liable for the careful selection of the service providers and the contractual forwarding of the information. Any liability in connection with the provision of medical services in the clinic is excluded. The decision to conclude a contract with the clinic and the type of medical treatment lies solely within the responsibility of the customer. If the intermediary is liable for damage caused by slight negligence on the basis of statutory provisions pursuant to these conditions, the intermediary shall be liable. Liability exists only in the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations and cardinal obligations, and is limited, upon conclusion of the contract, to the foreseeable, typical damage. This limitation does not apply in the event of injury to life, body or health. Insofar as the damage is covered by insurance taken out by the customer for the damage in question, the intermediary shall only be liable for any disadvantages of the customer associated therewith. The contractual liability for damages which are not personal injuries is limited to three times the travel price, insofar as damage to the customer was neither caused intentionally nor by gross negligence or insofar as the intermediary is solely responsible for a damage incurred by the customer due to the fault of a service provider. Liability for disruptions in performance in connection with services which are merely mediated as third-party services is excluded. This applies also and in particular to medical malpractice.

  1. a) Right to confirmation
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right to confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
  2. b) Right of access
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
  • the purposes of the processing

  • the categories of personal data concerned

  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations

  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period

  • the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing

  • the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source

  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  1. c) Right to rectification
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
  2. d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

  • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.

  • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

  • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Asli Tarcan Clinic, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of Asli Tarcan Clinic shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with.

Where Asli Tarcan Clinic has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Asli Tarcan Clinic, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which are processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. An employee of Asli Tarcan Clinic will arrange the necessary measures in the individual case.

It also offers, among other things, generally applicable health information and expressly does not replace any medical or psychotherapeutic treatment that may be necessary.

  1. e) Right to restriction of processing
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.

  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Asli Tarcan Clinic, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of Asli Tarcan Clinic will arrange the restriction of processing.

  1. f) Right to data portability
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may, at any time, contact any employee of Asli Tarcan Clinic.

  1. g) Right to object
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

Asli Tarcan Clinic shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where Asli Tarcan Clinic processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Asli Tarcan Clinic to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Asli Tarcan Clinic will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Asli Tarcan Clinic for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Asli Tarcan Clinic. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

  1. h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Asli Tarcan Clinic shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  1. i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
    Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

9. Data protection for applications and the application procedure

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents shall be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

10. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a web-based social meeting place, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or allows the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook Inc., 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visited. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject by Facebook. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, via the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook at the time of the call-up to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available to prevent data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data transmission to Facebook.

11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data on which website a data subject has come to a website from (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for which length of time a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymised by Google when access to our websites is made from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, amongst other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us which show the activities on our internet pages, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which, among other things, serves Google to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the place from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. On each visit to our website, such personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to a use of this website, as well as to the processing of this data by Google, and the chance to prevent any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google AdWords

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is a service for internet advertising that allows advertisers to place ads in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords by means of which an ad in Google’s search engine results is displayed only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the services of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. As long as the cookie has not expired, it is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. By means of the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated a turnover, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used by us in turn to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google AdWords receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, for example the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that enables video publishers to upload video clips and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos, so that complete film and television programmes, as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves, can be accessed via the internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the 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 display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be obtained at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. In the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on YouTube, YouTube recognises with the call-up of a sub-page that contains a YouTube video which specific sub-page 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 in on YouTube at the time of calling up our website; this occurs 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 transmission may be prevented by logging off from their YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which are available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

14. Legal basis for the processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries concerning our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

15. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities in favour of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

16. Period for which the personal data are stored

The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

17. Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. details of the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary, for the conclusion of a contract, that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data are provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

18. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

19. Google Web Fonts

The Asli Tarcan Clinic website uses so-called web fonts, provided by Google Inc. (“Google”), for the uniform display of fonts. These web fonts are integrated by a server call, usually to a Google server in the USA. This informs the server which of our web pages you have visited. The IP address of the browser on the visitor’s device is also stored by Google. However, Google states that no cookies are set when the fonts are loaded and that no data of the visitor (neither IP address, browser version nor other personal information) are linked with any other data. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

20. Content Delivery Network

We use a so-called CDN, i.e. a “Content Delivery Network”. This is a network of regionally distributed, internet-connected servers used to provide content – especially large media files. A CDN helps us to provide data quickly, particularly in the case of a high number of requests. We use Cloudflare. This is a service of Cloudflare, Inc. When you visit the website, the provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in section 4 of this policy are transmitted. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policies. There you will also find further information about your rights in this regard and settings options for the protection of your privacy. Information of the third-party provider: Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, Attention: Data Protection Officer, privacyquestions@cloudflare.com. Overview of data protection: https://www.cloudflare.com/de-de/privacypolicy/.

The provider also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
