2. how and for what purpose do we collect which information from you?

2.1 When visiting our website

You visit our website anonymously and without registering. However, as with most websites, visitor information is automatically collected via web server technology, which your browser automatically sends (so-called protocol or log data). This log data includes information such as the IP address (Internet Protocol) of your computer, details of the browser type, the browser version, the Internet service provider, the sub-pages of our website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on these pages and other statistical data.

 

This information is collected and processed in particular for the purpose of technically enabling the use of our website and the products and services offered (connection establishment), ensuring and improving the security and stability of our systems, analyzing the interest in our services and products and optimizing them, for example by improving our products, marketing measures or customer-related advertising. You will not be identified and there will be no link between the automatically collected personal data and any personal data already stored by us or to be stored in the future.

 

2.2 When booking a free video consultation

When you book a free video consultation on our website, we ask you to provide some personal data that we need as preliminary information for the preparation of the video consultation and for your inclusion in our internal customer database ("Customer Relationship Management", hereinafter: "CRM tool"), namely:

 

- First name/last name

- E-mail address

- Phone number

- Gender

 

This data is used to open a customer account for you in our internal CRM tool. This customer account is the basis for the future maintenance of the customer relationship and, in the case of an order, for contract processing. It documents the entire customer relationship, namely your contact details, past orders, inquiries, etc. Of course, you can request the complete deletion of your customer account and your personal data in our internal CRM tool at any time if this is no longer in your interest (see section 12).

 

2.3 When completing the questionnaire and/or participating in the free video consultation

To enable us to provide you with a treatment offer tailored to your needs and your scalp and hair situation as well as a non-binding prognosis of the expected treatment result, we need detailed information on the development of your scalp and hair problems, your general state of health (physical and mental), any other medication you may be taking and any family predisposition. We therefore need specific health data from you in order to offer you the best possible treatment. For this purpose, we ask you to complete a questionnaire before you take part in the free video consultation. If you do not wish to complete this questionnaire, you can also answer the relevant health questions verbally during the video consultation. It is also conceivable that you only complete the questionnaire, but do not attend the video consultation. Of course, answering the health questions is voluntary in any case, and you can choose not to answer any or all of the health questions. However, the lack of relevant health data makes it difficult for us to develop a treatment offer tailored to you.

 

To the extent that you voluntarily provide us with such health data, it will be collected solely in your best interest to determine the optimal treatment for you, stored exclusively in our internal CRM tool, and under no circumstances shared with third parties (subject to our partner company HAARKLINIK , Pfingstweidstrasse 60, 8005 Zurich (Switzerland); see Section 5).

 

2.4 When ordering products

If you are satisfied with your individual treatment offer and

If you wish to order the corresponding products, in addition to the above-mentioned information, we require your residential and delivery address so that we can identify you as a contracting party and process the contract, in particular invoicing and product shipment.

First name/last name, address, e-mail address, telephone number and details of the order (products ordered, invoice amount, order date) are required for invoicing. Your health data, which will not be passed on, is of course not required for this purpose.

 

We store the relevant information in connection with the order and use of your current and previous products, i.e. the type of products, the number of products per order and the payment amount, in the internal CRM tool for any subsequent orders.
