Social Media Privacy Notice And Terms of Use
Social Media Policy
Since 1919 we are helping people to maintain or regain their freedom of movement. For us, digitizing care means that your freedom of movement should be preserved in the digital space. It is therefore important for us to inform you about which personal data is collected, how it is used and what design options you have.
Ottobock's success depends not only on the global networking of information flows between Ottobock Group companies, employees, customers and patients, but also on the trusting and secure handling of personal data. This trust is part of the individual freedom and independence of our patients and at the same time our motivation for our high-quality and forward-looking portfolio.

Specific information about data processing on Ottobock’s Social Media Services
To whom we share information
To processors: Companies that Ottobock commissions with the processing of data within the legally stipulated framework. In this case Ottobock remains responsible for the protection of your data. Our processors are carefully selected, are bound by our instructions and are regularly checked by us. We only commission processors who offer sufficient guarantees that suitable technical and organizational measures are taken in such a way that processing is carried out in accordance with the requirements of GDPR and guarantees the protection of your rights.
To companies of the Ottobock Group, insofar as you have agreed to this or this is permitted out of our legitimate interests.
Government agencies to which we transfer certain data on request due to legal obligations.
Social Media Services: Recipients of the personal data are the social media services listed above, which process the data as operators of the respective platforms as described in their own privacy notices (see explanations within aforementioned social media services).
Transfer of personal data to countries outside the EU and EEA
For the provision of IT services and the operation of the Social Media Services, we may use service providers whose headquarters are outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. In doing so, we ensure prior to the transfer that, except in exceptional cases permitted by law, the recipient either has an adequate level of data protection or your express consent has been obtained. Information on suitable safeguards guarantees can be obtained from the Global Data Privacy Officer.
Existence of an automated decision making process
We refrain from automated decision making.

Right to object
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on legitimate interests. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
