The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations (in particular the General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR, Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG) and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the responsible body
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Dr. med. Mareen Schmidt Grüneburgweg 95 60323 Frankfurt am Main
Phone: 069-663897030 E-mail: info@schmidt-augenarzt.de
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
All other cookies (e.g. for analysis or marketing purposes) are only stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 DDG). This consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
[Note: If you use a cookie consent tool, you must describe the details of the cookies used and the type of consent obtained here].
Contact (e-mail, telephone) If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, we will store and process your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request, contact details) for the purpose of processing your request.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if this has been requested.
The data you transmit to us will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).

We expressly point out that communication by e-mail can be insecure. We ask you to use more secure means of communication (telephone, post or personal conversation) or to accept the risks of unencrypted e-mail communication, especially when transmitting health data.
3. social media
Instagram We maintain a presence on the Instagram platform (provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland). The legal notice on this website also applies to our Instagram presence.
When you visit our Instagram profile, Meta processes your personal data as the operator of the platform. This happens even if you do not have an Instagram account. What data this is in detail and how Meta uses it is beyond our knowledge and influence. Among other things, Meta uses this data to create user profiles and for advertising purposes.
Shared responsibility (Page Insights) For certain processing functions, in particular the „Insights“ function (page statistics), we are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Art. 26 GDPR). The Insights function provides us with anonymized statistical data about visitors to our site (e.g. age, gender, origin, interactions).
We have entered into a joint responsibility agreement with Meta (Page Controller Addendum). This agreement specifies which data processing operations we and Meta are responsible for. You can view the main content of this agreement here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
According to this agreement, Meta is primarily responsible for implementing the rights of data subjects (e.g. information, deletion). However, you can assert your rights both with us and with Meta.
Legal basis Our presence on Instagram is used for public relations work, the provision of information and communication with patients and interested parties. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data transfer to the USA Meta Platforms Inc. has its headquarters in the USA. It cannot be ruled out that data will be transferred to the USA (a third country without an adequate level of data protection). Meta generally relies on the EU standard contractual clauses. Further information on data processing by Meta can be found in Instagram's data policy: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875
4. amendment of this privacy policy
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
