The following gives you an easy-to-understand overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you could be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below.
Who is responsible for the recording of data on this website?
The data on this website is processed by the website operator. The operator's contact information can be found in the section “Information About the Responsible Party” in this privacy policy.
How do we record your data?
We collect your data as a result of your sharing it with us, for example through contact forms. Other data is recorded automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. browser, operating system, or time of page access).
What are the purposes we use your data for?
A portion of the data is generated to guarantee the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user patterns. It is also used to handle your transmitted data, support contract offers, course registrations and inquiry handling.
What rights do you have as far as your information is concerned?
You have the right to receive information about the source, recipients and purposes of your archived personal data at any time without having to pay a fee for such disclosures. You also have the right to demand that your data be rectified or eradicated. If you have consented to data processing, you have the option to revoke this consent at any time, which shall affect all future data processing. Moreover, you have the right to demand that the processing of your data be restricted under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency.
The content of our website is hosted by professional hosting providers. Personal data collected on this website is processed on their servers, which may be located outside of the European Union. The use of these providers is based on our legitimate interests in providing a reliable and secure website pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have executed data processing agreements with our hosting providers, implementing strict data protection provisions.

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods).
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. To exercise your right to object, please email mail@medlingua.de.
If there has been a breach of data protection legislation, the person affected may file a complaint with the competent supervisory authorities. This right is asserted without prejudice to any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourse.
You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract automatically delivered to you or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” prefix and the lock icon in your browser address bar.
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated.
You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. This right applies when you contest the accuracy of your data, when the processing of your data was unlawful and you demand restrictions instead of eradication, when we no longer need your data but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal entitlements, or when you have objected to the processing pending verification.
