Data protection information for individuals visiting our website
As a visitor of our Fresubin websites, Fresenius Kabi AG (“we”) will collect and use certain personal data from you.

This data protection statement informs you about the processing of personal data when visiting our website.

We also inform you that our websites include links to external sites which are not covered by this data protection statement. Also, some of our Fresenius Kabi subsidiaries’ local websites provide data protection statements that may differ from this data protection statement. Your visit to such websites is subject to the respective data protection statement of this website.

Why We Collect and Use Your Data 

We collect and use your data for the following purposes:
•    To validate, handle and respond to you based upon your inquiry or request
•    To fulfill our compliance requirements under pharmacovigilance and medicines laws
•    To make the website work for the device you use it on
•    To provide the best possible service to you and enhance your user experience
•    To optimize our website


What Data We Collect and How We Do That 

We may collect and use your personal data in the following situations:

When visiting our website
We collect data of your visit to our site. We do this to present the website optimized to the device you are using and with all its functions or to store your preferences for your current or future browsing sessions.
We collect the following internet protocol data during your visits on our websites:
•    the name of your service provider including IP address
•    the website that directed you to our site
•    the pages visited on our website
•    your web browser type, and
•    the date and length of your visit.

Your IP address will be used in a pseudonymized manner by deleting the last three digits. That way we are no longer able to directly identify you as an individual.
 

Information we collect by using cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally on your computer by your web browser.

You can refuse the use of certain cookies for this website. Find out more about how you can change your cookie settings. Please note that if you choose not to accept the use of cookies you may not be able to experience the full functionality of this website. If you choose to delete cookies, you may have to confirm certain dialogs once again.

Your cookie settings are always related to the web browser you are using, and the settings are of no effect if you use a different web browser upon your next use of this website. Alternatively, you can manage the settings of your web browser or on your mobile device. Here you can delete cookies at your own discretion at any time.

We use the following types of cookies:

Strictly necessary cookies

This type of cookies is required to make the website work. They are exclusively used by us during the session and are therefore so called first party session cookies.
They help to make the page load more quickly and to limit the number of sessions originating from a user to prevent a website-overload.
They remain valid during the session and are automatically deleted when you close the browser.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies save the choices you make while visiting this website in order to offer you an improved functionality and personal features.
We use a "cookie notifier" cookie, which saves your decision either to agree with the usage of cookies on our website or not. It is saved automatically upon your click on one of the two options available. Your acceptance of our cookies is stored for one year from the acceptance date. If you decide to refuse our cookies, your decision will be stored for 30 days. During this time the cookie information banner will not be shown again.

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies allow us to analyze the way the website is used. This enables us to optimize its performance and increase the user experience. Our website uses Matomo, formerly Piwik, an open source web analytics tool. With this tool we track how often visitors use a page of our website, which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from our pages. Your IP address will be processed in a pseudonymized manner by deleting the last three figures. That way we are no longer able to directly identify you as an individual. The software from Matomo is running on servers of our in-house service provider in Germany and the information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your pseudonymized IP address) will be stored on the server of our in-house service provider in Germany. The IP-address that is transmitted will not be merged with any other data collected by us. We will delete this data within three years.
