Personal Data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”).

We collect and process personal data, such as your name, email address, company or telephone number, if you provide us with this data when registering for our Investor Alert newsletter and for sending press releases, or if you provide us with this data in any other way. We do not process any personal data when using the website for purely informational purposes, except for data that is technically collected automatically when you visit the website (see log data).

When conducting clinical studies, we process anonymized patient data.

We process the above-mentioned personal data for the following purposes:

Conducting clinical trials (monitoring, publication);
Distributing Investor Alert newsletters or press releases regarding current information about our company;
Communicating about services, projects or other company-related topics, e.g., to process your inquiries;
Planning, executing and managing the (contractual) business relationship, e.g., to process orders for products and services, to collect payments, for accounting, billing and debt collection purposes and to perform deliveries, maintenance activities or repairs;
Maintain and protect the security of our products and services and our websites by preventing and detecting security risks, fraudulent activity, or other criminal activity or activity undertaken with the intent to cause harm;
Compliance with legal requirements (e.g., tax and commercial retention obligations) or existing obligations to conduct compliance screenings (to prevent white-collar crime or money laundering);
Compliance with national laws, for example defense, exercise or assertion of legal claims.

The processing of personal data is necessary to achieve the above purposes. The legal basis for the data processing is – unless expressly stated otherwise – Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR or your expressly given consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR.

As part of application processes, Immunic may use search engines to find information about you. This data will be treated like all other application information and deleted after the legally prescribed retention period has expired.

Insofar as the above data is to be further processed for a purpose other than the original purpose of collection, you will be informed of this prior to further processing. In this way, you have the opportunity to object to the processing of your data for another purpose.

As a matter of principle, your data will not be made available to third parties for use unless you have given your consent to this or we are legally entitled and/or obliged to pass on this data.

Data subject rights: Right to information, correction, deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data, right to object and right to data portability.

Upon request, we will inform you in writing, in accordance with the applicable law, whether and which personal data we process in our company. If, despite our company’s efforts to ensure data security and accuracy, incorrect information has been stored, we will correct it at your request.

You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of personal data by our company. In addition, you may request to receive the data you have provided to our company in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You may also object to the data processing of personal data by our company.

You also have the right to request the deletion of your personal data, provided that this does not conflict with statutory retention periods. We delete the data if we no longer need it for the purpose for which we collected and processed it, or if you revoke the consent you have given and there is no other legal basis for the further processing of your data. In addition, we delete this data if the processing has been unlawful for reasons unknown to us or if you have objected to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate interests for the processing. Your data will also be deleted if we are legally obliged to do so. Our company has also implemented technical measures to notify all recipients of your data of your request for deletion or rectification. This applies only in the event that we have disclosed or made public such data. Deleted shall be all links, copies and replications of your personal data.

If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent does not render the data processing unlawful for the past.

The transfer of data to our company is voluntary. However, this data is necessary for the further conclusion of the contract or to answer your inquiries. If you do not wish to disclose your data, the contract may not be concluded or your inquiries may not be answered. The provision of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract.

You also have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority about data processing by our company.

The data protection authority responsible for our company is:

State Office for Data Protection Supervision, Promenade 27 (Schloss), 91522 Ansbach, Germany Web: http://www.lda.bayern.de

Storage Period

If no explicit storage period is specified at the time of collection (e.g., as part of a declaration of consent), the personal data will be deleted insofar as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored, unless legal retention obligations (e.g., commercial and tax retention obligations) prevent deletion.

Data Security

We take technical and organizational security measures to protect the data we store and process in our company against manipulation, loss of confidentiality, destruction and against access by unauthorized persons. The security measures of our company are continuously improved according to the technological development.

Contact Form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.

Requests by Email or Telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g., after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo, provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 7 Waterloo Quay PO625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand (hereinafter referred to as “Matomo”).

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

For analysis with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before the analysis, so that it is no longer clearly assignable to you.

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
