Privacy policy

The following information provides an overview of the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data in connection with the use of the cogcheck.com or cogcheck.org website. Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you personally and that can be traced back to you - for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

General information

The Felix Platter-Spital in cooperation with the Clinic for Anaesthesiology, Intermediate Care, Prehospital Emergency Medicine and Pain Therapy of the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland (FPS or "we"), as operator of this website, are responsible for the correct processing of personal data (for address see imprint). If you have any questions regarding data protection, please feel free to contact us at the following address:

The FPS takes the issue of data protection very seriously. The personal data that you send to us by e-mail or by requesting access will be treated confidentially, in accordance with the legal regulations and as described in this data protection declaration.

Please note, however, that the Internet is publicly accessible. Voluntary disclosure of personal information via the Internet is at your own risk. Your data may be lost and/or fall into the hands of unauthorized persons. The FPS therefore assumes no responsibility and/or liability for data security.

If you have any questions about the processing of your personal data, you can contact us by e-mail as described in the section "How to reach us" below.

Handling of contact data

If you contact us via the contact options offered (request access, etc.), your details will be stored so that we can use them to process your registration or answer your query. No data will be passed on to third parties unless you have expressly consented to this in advance. The data will be stored as long as it is necessary for processing or answering the inquiry. Statutory retention periods reserved.

Data collection on our website (processing and purpose)

In general: we process personal data (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address and/or other information) of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

  • — If you send us a question or other message through one of the email addresses listed as contact points on this website or fill out the "Request Access" form, we will use this information to respond to your inquiry.
  • — If you send us an adverse event report, we will collect, process and transmit the information in accordance with our legal obligation.

For technical reasons, every time you use our website, certain data is collected that is temporarily stored in log files (log data), in particular the IP address of the end device, information about the Internet service provider and the operating system of your end device, information about the referring URL, information about the browser used, the date and time of access, and the content accessed when visiting the website. We use this data so that our website can be used, to ensure system security and stability and to optimize our website, and for statistical purposes.

You may provide us with information that relates to other individuals. If you do so, we understand this as confirmation that this data is correct and that you have permission for this data disclosure to this data subject. Since we often have no direct contact with these third parties, we ask you to inform them about our processing of their data.

Disclosure of personal data

If you send us a request through this website, we may share it internally to collect the information necessary to respond.

We work with third-party service providers who help us collect and process security information and/or provide other services, such as technical support or data hosting (server located in Geneva, Switzerland). These service providers may have access to your personal data in order to provide the services.

Your personal data may also be disclosed to:

  • — government authorities, as required by law (e.g., to report adverse events) or pursuant to a court order or other legal process
  • — our legal and other professional advisors

Storage of your data

All stored personal data will be deleted immediately and irretrievably as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected, the usage agreement has been terminated or you request this, unless we are obliged to retain it by law. Aggregated or anonymized data that does not reveal the user may, however, be used for internal purposes.

Protection of your data

We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the regulations on data protection are observed both by us and by external service providers who work for us. In the case of unencrypted transmission in an open network (for example, when you send us messages or other information), data can be read, changed or destroyed by unauthorized third parties. Any transmission of data to or from the website is therefore at the user's own risk.

Use of cookies

This website uses so-called "cookies": small text files that are placed on your computer or device when you access certain websites. They are often used to increase the efficiency of websites and to provide information to their owners. Cookies can be used to collect and store various information. This helps with navigation between pages, ensures that the website functions as expected, allows you to save your settings during and between visits, and can improve the speed of the website.

What kind of cookies are used on this website?

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after changing the website.

By accessing and using this website, you agree to our use of cookies as described in this statement.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our website. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.

Your rights as a user

You are entitled to access the personal data we hold about you at any time. To the extent permitted by law, you may request the deletion of your data, the correction of errors or the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may also object to the processing of your personal data. In addition, under certain conditions, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

If you wish to exercise your rights, please contact us as described in the section "How to contact us" below. Please note that applicable legal retention periods and requirements may prohibit us from complying with your request to delete security information or restrict its processing.

Updates to this Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy. If we do, we will post the updated versions on this page. If we make material changes to our privacy statement, we will post a prominent notice on this site informing users of the change. A revised privacy statement will only apply to personal data collected after its effective date.
