KLS Martin processes the personal data which we receive from you within the scope of our business relationship. In addition, we process (as needed for the provision of our services) personal data which we have received from third parties in a permissible way (e.g. for the execution of orders, for the fulfilment of contracts or on the basis of your consent). Relevant personal data includes data needed for the identification of a person and contact data (name, address, telephone number and e-mail address), order data and data from the fulfilment of our contractual obligations.
Personal data is processed as necessary to present our website and to provide the services of IPS Gate and the associated electronic transmission of specific medical data for the creation of individually manufactured implants, templates for marking and/or sawing guidance and, in particular, for the execution of our contracts or pre-contractual measures with you and the execution of your orders. In order to use the member area of IPS Gate, you must first register as a user so that we can guarantee the confidentiality of the information you transmit to us. In particular, we require your name, user ID, e-mail address and a user-designated password in order to identify you as a unique user. We reserve the right to use the registration data you provide to verify that you are a licensed healthcare provider who may use IPS Gate.
If necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of our services to protect the legitimate interests of KLS Martin or authorized third parties. Examples of this include the enforcement of legal claims or defense of legal disputes, ensuring IT security, the prevention or investigation of criminal offenses by the government, and for our business management or product development purposes. In addition, KLS Martin may collect certain information on the use of the Software such as technical information (e.g. CPU speed and operating system), general usability information (e.g. usage of workspaces or shortcuts), actual usage information (e.g. (CB)CT-scanner and radiographic guide used) and commercial information (e.g. planning and ordering pattern). Technical and general usability information will be collected in a strictly anonymous manner. Personal information may be stored and processed by KLS Martin, its group companies and/or authorized third parties such as IT infrastructure providers bound by a confidentiality agreement, obliged to adhere to all applicable data protection laws and regulations, and acting upon instructions from KLS Martin.

KLS Martin will only disclose your personal data to unauthorized third parties (which excludes e.g. IT infrastructure providers) outside the KLS Martin Group if required by law or for regulatory purposes. However, you acknowledge and agree that KLS Martin may use and/or disclose your personal data if KLS Martin determines that such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process or to protect rights, property or personal safety of KLS Martin, its employees, users of the Application, or the public.
