Registration via our online store
Personal data
Personal data is information about the factual or personal circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, your telephone number, your address and all inventory data that you provide to us when you register and create your customer account. This does not include statistical data that we collect, for example, when you visit our ICX online store and which cannot be directly linked to your person. For example, these are statistics about which pages of our store are particularly popular or how many users visit certain pages of the Medentis store.
Customer account
For every customer who registers accordingly, we set up password-protected direct access to their inventory data stored with us (customer account). Here you can view data on your completed, open and recently dispatched orders and manage your data and the newsletter. You undertake to treat the personal access data confidentially and not to make it accessible to unauthorized third parties. We cannot accept any liability for misused passwords unless we are responsible for the misuse.
If you do not log out, you will automatically remain logged in. This function allows you to use some of our services (e.g. ‘customer account’) without having to log in again each time. For security reasons, however, you will be asked to enter your password again if, for example, your personal details are to be changed or you wish to place an order.
Collection, processing and use of your personal data
Data protection is very important to us. We therefore adhere strictly to the statutory provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act when collecting, processing and using your personal data. We collect, store and process your data for the entire processing of your purchase, including any subsequent warranties, for our services, technical administration and our own marketing purposes. Your personal data will only be passed on or otherwise transmitted to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of contract processing or invoicing or if you have given your prior consent. As part of order processing, for example, the service providers we use here (such as carriers, logistics companies, banks) receive the necessary data for order and order processing. The data passed on in this way may only be used by our service providers to fulfill their task. Any other use of the information is not permitted and does not take place with any of the service providers entrusted by us.
We require your correct name, address and payment details for your order. We need your e-mail address so that we can confirm receipt of your order and communicate with you. We also use this for your identification (customer login). Furthermore, you will receive your order and shipping confirmation via your e-mail address.
Your personal data will be deleted if this does not conflict with statutory retention obligations and if you have asserted a claim for deletion, if the data is no longer required to fulfill the purpose for which it was stored or if its storage is inadmissible for other legal reasons.
Use of your data for advertising purposes
Your personal data (company address, names of contact persons if applicable) will be processed for the purpose of sending advertising material by post and providing information about the range of services and products. Furthermore, your data will be supplemented by publicly accessible socio-demographic data in order to enable an individual approach with customized offers. The permissibility of the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR (legitimate interest). The controller has a legitimate interest in conducting direct advertising. There is also a legitimate interest in making the advertising offer as individual as possible. The provision of your personal data is necessary for the sending of advertising material.

The newsletter software rapidmail(https://www.rapidmail.de/) is used.
