Personal data shall mean any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an on-line identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Personal data also includes information about your use of our website. In this context we collect personal data from you as follows: Information about your visits to our website, such as the extent of data transfer, the location from which you access data from our website and other connection data and files and other content you access. This is usually done through the use of log files and cookies. For more information about log files and cookies, see our “Cookie policy” (https://synlab.ee/en/cookie-policy/).

Purpose and personal data concerned

The extent and nature of the collection, processing and use of your data differs according to whether you visit our website merely to call up generally available information or to make use of additional services:

a) Informational use

For a purely informational use of our website, it is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data. Rather, when you call up our website, we only record the data that your Internet browser automatically transmits to us, such as

  • the IP address of your computer
  • Date and time of page view
  • Your browser type, the browser version and your browser settings
  • the operating system used (Windows, iOS, Linux etc.)
  • the transferred data volume and status of transfers
  • from which website the access to our site was made
  • other similar data and information which serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

The IP address of your computer is only stored in so-called log files for the time of your use of the website and is then immediately deleted or made anonymous by a shortening. The remaining data is stored for a limited period of time. We use this data for the operation of our website, in particular to detect and correct website errors, to determine the website load and to make adjustments or improvements.

b) Use in case of use of further services

If you make use of further services of our company via our website, it may be necessary for you to provide personal data.

Which personal data is required for the provision of services is determined by the respective input mask.

We will only collect those personal data that are necessary to provide the service you have chosen, for example your e-mail address is used for communication about our services if you have selected it. If you have selected SMS notification, you will be notified by SMS only.

During payment, for example by credit card, you will be forwarded to the pages of a third party provider. We would like to point out that we have no influence on the collection, processing and use of personal data by this third party provider, so this privacy policy does not apply to the third party provider.

You can provide further information voluntarily. You can tell which information is required and which is voluntary by the fact that the required information is marked with a symbol (*) to indicate that it is required.

The collection, processing and use of your data is exclusively for the purpose of providing the service you requested.

Your inquiry will therefore also be known to persons at these clients.

The personal data that you provide in the context of this contact enquiry will only be used to process your enquiry and will be deleted from the web server immediately.
