For what purposes do we collect your personal data?

We collect your personal data to resolve possible complaints, to identify the reseller of the product or to resolve any other contact request or question.

In addition, non-personal data can be used to compile statistics on, for example, the number and timing of complaints and product defects to improve production and product quality.

On what basis do we process your personal data?

We only process your personal data when the processing is based on

     a) your consent given to one or more specific purposes

     b) the performance of a contract to which you are a party or taking steps at your request prior to entering a contract

     c) our statutory obligation or

     d) our legitimate interest.

In these cases, we have a valid legal basis for processing your personal data.   

What kind of personal data do we process?

We process the following personal information of our consumer-customers:

  • first and last name
  • email address
  • postal address and/or place (if this is required to solve the matter, for example in the event of a complaint or in a search of a local retailer for a specific product)
  • phone number

If it is necessary, for example in the event of a complaint, to pay compensation, we may separately request an account number for a refund.

Where do we collect your personal data?

We collect personal data from the consumer-customers themselves when they contact us via our website either using the Contact us -form, the Where to buy -form or by sending us an e-mail.

If you contact us by e-mail, please do not provide anything other than your necessary contact information. We will ask for more information if needed. The mandatory fields are marked with * in the forms. 

To which parties do we disclose or transfer your data?

As a rule, we do not disclose your personal data further outside the Orthex Group and at Orthex Group, your personal data is processed only by personnel who are authorised to do so based on their role. If such intra-group transfers or disclosures of personal data take place, we will ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal data by using Intra-Group Data Transfer Agreements.

We use service providers to manage and operate our business. These service providers can only process your personal data based on our instructions and use it only for purposes defined by us. Such processing is always regulated by Data Processing Agreements to ensure that all our service providers keep your personal data safe and process it only in accordance with applicable legislation.

In some situations, we have to disclose your personal data to another controller, who will use this personal data for their own purposes. Personal data may need to be disclosed, for example, to authorities when Orthex has a legal obligation to do so.

Do we transfer your personal data outside the EU or EEA?

As a rule, we do not transfer your personal data outside the EU or EEA. In case your personal data is transferred outside the EU or EEA, appropriate technical and organisational measures, such as EU Model Clauses, are taken to secure your personal data. The recipients of such data will be required to protect confidentiality and security of the personal data and may not use it for the benefit of their own business.

How do we protect your personal data?

Orthex has taken appropriate technical and organisational measures to restrict access to the personal data it holds and to protect it against loss, accidental destruction, misuse, and unlawful alteration. Access to personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis to individuals (Orthex’s employees and service providers) who need to access the data for the purposes it was collected for.

How long do we store your personal data?

By default, we store personal data only as long as is necessary for the purposes it was collected for. When personal data is no longer needed for that purpose, it was originally collected for, it will be deleted or anonymized, unless we have a legal obligation to retain the data for a longer period. This means that the retention periods we have defined for your personal data vary depending on the processing purpose, type of personal data, and local requirements.

Do we use your personal data for automated decision making?

We will not use your personal data for automated decision-making which would have legal or equivalent effects on you.

What are your rights as a data subject?

In certain situations, you have the right to request us to restrict the processing of your personal data, for example, if your personal data is inaccurate. Based on your own circumstances, you may also have the right to object the processing of your personal data.
