Your personal data will only be processed in accordance with the provisions of the data protection law of the European Union, in particular, the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and in a supplementary manner the German Federal Data Protection Act (“BDSG”) and other statutory data protection provisions (collectively “Data Protection Law”).
If you wish to take a look at the GDPR, you will find its full text online via: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679.
This Privacy Notice only applies to the Website that can be accessed at https://nt.dental/de/, including all of its subdomains. All other NT Dental websites are exclusively governed by the privacy policies that can be retrieved from those websites.
Furthermore, this Privacy Notice does not apply to external websites of third parties to which links are provided on our Website. The terms used in this document, such as “personal data” or their “processing”, shall have the meaning defined in Art. 4 GDPR.
1. Data protection and legal bases
The subject matter of this Privacy Notice is personal data. This includes all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). This covers any information that enables a third party to identify you, such as your name, address, phone number, or your email address. The term “personal data” also includes any information that is inevitably generated by your use of our Website, such as beginning, end and scope of use, or your IP address.
Personal data will also be collected when you submit such data for performing a contract (contract data). Furthermore, personal data will be collected to the extent that you submit details and content as part of the customer dialog.
We will process your data only to the extent permissible under applicable statutory provisions. We will process your data based on legal bases which include, but are not limited to the following:
- Consent (Art. 6(1) (a) GDPR): We will process certain data exclusively based on your previously given and voluntary consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
- Contract performance and/or steps prior to entering a contract (Art. 6(1) (b) GDPR): We need certain information from you, in particular for the purpose of preparing or executing your contract with NT Dental.
- Compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR): In addition, we process your personal data for meeting legal obligations, such as regulatory requirements or retention duties under commercial or tax law.
- Safeguarding legitimate interests (Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR): NT Dental will process certain data for safeguarding its own legitimate interests and those of third parties. However, this shall only apply, if your interests do not override our interests on a case by case basis.
Please note that this is not a complete or conclusive enumeration of the possible legal bases, but that these are only some examples intended to make the legal bases under Data Protection Law more transparent. For further information on the legal bases for the various types of processing in connection with our Website, please read the explanations in the sections below.

Your contact data will only be collected, processed, and used for the purpose of receiving and, if applicable, for responding to your inquiry.

b) Newsletter and email campaigns
On our Website, you may subscribe to our newsletter and to emails that are part of email campaigns (collectively “promotional emails”). If you wish to register for our promotional emails, it is sufficient to enter your email account.
Promotional emails are only mailed using the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e., we will not send you promotional emails, unless you have expressly confirmed that you wish us to activate the corresponding service. We will then send you an email message and ask you to confirm by clicking on the link contained in that email that you wish to receive our promotional emails. Upon completion of this separate double opt-in procedure, you have granted your consent to receiving our promotional emails.
We will send promotional emails only after you have registered, i.e., with your consent based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If the contents of our promotional emails have been precisely described during the registration process, this information will govern the scope of your consent. Furthermore, our promotional emails contain information on our services, products, offers, and our company.
Registration for our promotional emails will be recorded by us as evidence for our compliance with legal requirements regarding the registration process and the consent granted. Accordingly, the recording of your registration and the necessary processing of data you enter during the registration process will be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Accordingly, the recording of your registration and the necessary processing of data you enter during the registration process will be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
In the event you should decide later that you do not wish to receive our promotional emails anymore, you may withdraw your consent at any time. A notice in text form (e.g., email, letter) directed to the address in the above contact data or to info@nt.dental is sufficient. Of course, you will also find an unsubscribe link in every promotional email.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that following the mailing of the promotional emails, your user behavior regarding our promotional emails will be analyzed. This analysis is based on so-called web beacons, also known as tracking pixels, that are included in the email messages, as well as links encoded using this technology. Web beacons are one-pixel image files that link to our Website and thus allow us – in combination with encoded links – to analyze your user behavior with regard to our promotional emails (so-called open and/or click tracking). This is achieved by collecting technical information, e.g., on your browser, your system, your IP address, and the time when the email and/or the link is received via web beacons and encoded links that are assigned to your email address and linked with a unique ID.
The so-called open tracking using web beacons is not possible, if you have disabled the display of images by default in your email browser. However, in that case, our promotional emails will not be fully displayed, and you may not be able to use all of their features. If you allow the display of images by clicking on them, this will trigger the tracking described above. The only way to prevent the so-called click tracking is not to click on the links in the corresponding email.
The mailing of promotional emails and the related processing of your data will be carried out using HubSpot. The email address that you enter when subscribing to promotional emails will be transmitted to our HubSpot CRM system (“CRM System”) by HubSpot. This way, we can see directly in our CRM system whether promotional emails had been subscribed to via the corresponding email address and can ensure that we send our promotional emails to the right recipients.
To the extent that you give your consent, your email address may also be combined in our CRM system with other data that you provided at another point of contact. We may analyze this combined data and use it to contact you in another situation specifically for marketing purposes. The merging, analysis, and marketing approaches will be based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. A notice in text form (e.g., email, letter) directed to the address in the above contact data or to info@nt.dental is sufficient.

We have a legitimate interest in processing the data provided by you in order to be able to continuously improve and optimize the functionality we offer to you and to monitor the relevance of the different “nt-IQ libraries” and CAD programs.

In this case, we will no longer process your data, unless we can prove a legitimate interest in this data processing or unless we are obligated to store your data pursuant to other statutory regulations.
Should the data, following the completion of the job application process, still be required for enforcing rights, data processing may occur for safeguarding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In this case, our interest is the assertion of or defense against claims. In the event of a negative reply, your data will be deleted upon the expiration of a three-month period following this decision.

a) Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Analytics uses so-called Cookies. As a rule, information on your use of this Website generated by this Cookie will be transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and stored on that server. This data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, since you had given your consent to the processing of your data. We expressly reserve the right to recourse to other legal bases.

This means that the users’ IP addresses are shortened by Google within any of the member states of the European Union (EU) or in any other country that is a contracting party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server located in the United States and shortened there. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our recording purposes. In our case, this will usually occur within 14 months.

a) This is how retargeting/remarketing works
Our Website uses Cookies/tracking technology to collect data for the optimization of our advertising activities and the entire online offer (so-called retargeting/remarketing). This data will not be used to identify you as an individual, but merely serves the purpose of analyzing the use of our Website and to tailor advertising to users who have already shown interest in our content and offers – both on our own Website and on our partners’ websites and their social media offers with interest-based advertisement. We are convinced that interest-based advertising is generally more appealing to the user than advertising that is not tailored to the user’s needs. The display of advertising on our Website or on our partners’ websites occurs based on an analysis of the user’s previous browsing behavior. According to the providers of the retargeting/remarketing services that we use, the generation of usage profiles will generally result in anonymized and/or pseudonymized profiles. This data will be never combined with other personal data stored on our servers. The following section of this Privacy Notice explains with which Third-Party Providers we cooperate, how your data is processed in this context, and how you may disable retargeting/remarketing technologies.

According to Google, Cookies used for these purposes do not contain any personal information. Generally, information on your use of this Website generated by Cookies will be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored on that server. If you have registered for a Google service and are logged in, Google can match your visit of our Website with your account. Even if you have not registered for Google, Google may still find out your IP address and use it to generate and store a user profile for you. We do not use the Google feature that allows the checking against audience lists.
