PRIVACY STATEMENT

Therefore, we would like you to know what data we maintain and what data we discard. With this privacy statement, we would like to inform you about our security measures.

Collection of data
You can use our website without disclosing your personal data.

When you use our website, data may be stored for various security purposes. This data may include the name of your internet service provider, the website that you used to link to our site, the websites that you visit from our site and your IP-Address. This data could possibly lead to your identification, but we do not use it to do so. We do use the data from time to time for statistical purposes, but maintain the anonymity of each individual user so that the person cannot be identified. In cases when personal data is provided to others to provide you products or services you have requested, or for other purposes you have authorised, we rely on technical and organisational means to assure that applicable data security regulations are followed.

Collection and processing of personal data
We collect personal data only when you provide it to us, through registration, completion of forms or e-mails, as part of an order for products or services, inquiries or requests about materials being ordered and similar situations in which you have chosen to provide the information to us. The database and its contents remain at our company and stay with data processors or servers acting on our behalf and responsible to us. Your personal data will not be passed on by us or by our agents for use by third parties in any form whatsoever, unless we have obtained your consent or are legally required to do so. We will retain control of and responsibility for the use of any personal data you disclose to us. Some of this data may be stored or processed at computers located in other jurisdictions, such as the United States, whose data protection laws may differ from the jurisdiction in which you live. In such cases, we will ensure that appropriate protections are in place to require the data processor in that country to maintain protections on the data that are equivalent to those that apply in the country in which you live.

Purposes of use
The data we collect will only be used for the purpose of supplying you with the requested products or services or for other purposes for which you have given your consent, except where otherwise provided by law.

Right of access and correction
You have the right to review and amend any personal data stored in our system if you believe it may be out of date or incorrect. Just send an e-mail to the address given in the imprint or contact the Manager/Data Protection Officer at the address below.

You have the right at any time to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data in the future. Again, just send an e-mail to the address given in the imprint or contact the Manager/Data Protection Officer at the address below.

Data retention
We only retain personal data for as long as is necessary for us to render a service you have requested or to which you have given your consent, except where otherwise provided by law (e.g. in connection with pending litigation).

Prophylaxis

In general, prophylaxis, or prophylactic treatment, is any medical procedure used to protect against a disease, rather
than to treat or cure it. ‘Primary prophylaxis’ prevents disease development, whilst ‘secondary prophylaxis’ prevents a
disease that has already developed from getting any worse.

Because modern research has only just uncovered the benefits of prophylaxis for people with haemophilia, an adult in
the present day can only receive secondary prophylaxis. And, depending on the severity of haemophilia (i.e. mild,
moderate, severe disease), prophylaxis can mean that you’ll receive treatment 2–3 times a week or more, as advised by
your Haemophilia Centre healthcare professionals.

Prophylaxis works by continually keeping your blood Clotting Factor levels topped up, which then prevents the
risk of you experiencing a bleed, however minor, and developing joint damage as a result.
