Web analytics tools
1. Extent of processing of personal data
To constantly improve and optimize our offer, we use so-called tracking technologies. For this we use services of the following providers:
2. Google Analytics
PlusORTHO (USA) LLC. uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files that are stored on your computer and allow you to analyze the use of our services by you. The cookie collects information about the use of our website (including your IP address) and transmits it to Google and stores it there. We point out that on our website Google Analytics to the code “Gat._anonymizeIp ();” has been extended to ensure the anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Your IP address will therefore only be collected by Google at our request in a shortened form, which guarantees anonymization and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. Your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google has signed a Privacy Shield certification to comply with the US Department of Commerce’s EU-US Privacy Shield Agreement on the collection, use and storage of personal information from EU Member States. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on our website activities and to provide us with other services related to the use of websites and the internet. The IP address provided by Google Analytics within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data provided by Google. A transfer of this data by Google to third parties takes place only due to legal regulations or in the context of order data processing. You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website in full. You may also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of this website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=th
3.Google Maps
Our websites use Google Maps to display interactive maps and create directions. Google Maps is a map service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. By using Google Maps, information about the use of the web pages, including your IP address and the (start) address entered in the route planner function, may be transmitted to Google in the United States. When you visit a website on our website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers. The content of the map will be transmitted by Google directly to your browser and incorporated by it into the website. Therefore, we have no control over the extent of the data collected by Google in this manner.
4. Newsletter – CleverReach
The newsletter is sent by the shipping service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany.

The shipping service provider may retrieve the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve their own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of shipping and the presentation of newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write them down or to pass the data on to third parties.
5. Social plug-ins / embedding third-party tools
PlusORTHO (USA) LLC uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) from various social networks. With the help of these plugins you can, for example, share content or recommend products. Your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network as soon as they access a website of our website. The contents of the plug-in (including the IP address of your computer) will be transmitted by the social network directly to your browser and incorporated by the latter into the website. By integrating the plug-ins, the social network receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to the social network, this can assign the visit to your account. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks, as well as your related rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective networks or websites. The links can be found below. If you do not want social networks to collect data about you through our website, you must log out of these networks before visiting our website. Even if you are not logged in to the social networks, web pages with social plug-ins can send data to the networks. A plug-in sets a cookie with an ID every time the website is called up. Since your browser sends this cookie unasked every time it connects to a network server, the network could in principle create a profile, which has called websites of the users belonging to the identifier. And then it would also be quite possible to assign this identifier later – for example when later logging in to the social network – again a person. We use plug-ins from the following providers:
a) Facebook
PlusORTHO (USA) LLC. uses plug-ins of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. The plug-ins are marked with a Facebook logo or the words “Social Plug-In of Facebook” or “Facebook Social Plug-Ins”.
If you visit a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser connects directly to the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the corresponding website. By integrating the plug-ins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are currently not logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the US A and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign your visit to the website to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example, press the “Like” button or leave a comment, the corresponding information from your browser is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there.
The purpose and scope of the data collection, the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights and options to protect your privacy, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php. If you refuse, that Facebook assigns data directly to your Facebook profile via our website, then you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

When you visit a page on our website that contains such plug-ins, your browser connects directly to Google’s servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Google directly to your browser and integrated into the site. The integration gives Google the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile on Google+ or are currently logged in to Google+. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Google server in the US and stored there. If you’re logged in to Google+, Google can instantly associate your visit to our website with your Google+ profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by pressing the “+1” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Google server and stored there.
