Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files”. The server log files are deleted after 7 days (according to Federal Supreme Court decision July 13, 2014 – III ZR 391/13). These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Contact form

Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.

We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it will be used by Twitter.

8. Data processing in the context of Pharmacovigilance

Thank you for any report of an adverse event related to a veterinary medicinal product of IDT. These data are used and shared solely for pharmacovigilance purposes.

We are officially obligated to collect information regarding adverse events following the use of IDT products or other problems related to veterinary medicinal products of IDT, to evaluate them, to report them to competent authorities, and to archive the related documents for a statutory period. This obligation applies worldwide in all distribution countries, i. e. also in countries outside the scope of GDPR.

In this context, personal data are also collected. However, these data are used only for specific purposes and to the extent necessary to fulfill applicable legal requirements.

As part of the report to the competent authorities, information of the event is communicated in detail and provided, however, the transfer of personal data takes place only in anonymous form. Specifically, only the function (e.g. veterinarian, pet owner, etc.), the country of origin, the first letter of the surname, and the first digit of the postal code of the contact persons are transmitted. Concerning human exposure in connection with a veterinary medicinal product of IDT, the age and sex as well as the first letter of the first and last name of the person concerned are reported.

Even when information about the reported event is required to be forwarded to to subsidiaries, business partners or contractors of IDT, personal data will not be fully disclosed or IDT will protect the data in accordance with this data privacy statement, respectively.

Personal data will be stored by IDT after the date it has been gathered as long as necessary to comply with the applicable legal retention periods set forth for the respective circumstances which required the data collection. This retention period is currently until at least one year after the product expiry date, but not less than five years (§ 20 Arzneimittel- und Wirkstoffherstellungsverordnung (AMWHV), the regulation governing the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceuticals and agents).

Data processing in the context of pharmacovigilance serves the fulfillment of legal obligations pursuant to (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR); outside the EU pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1 lit. f and Art. 49 para. 1 lit. e.

On request, information can be obtained regarding the actual whereabouts and use of your data. With regard to the disclosure, blocking and deletion of such data, the provisions referenced in Par. VI) of this data protection policy apply.

Anyone who disagrees with the processing and archiving of its personal data should please contact the responsible data protection department of IDT set forth in Par. II. above.
