We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Bioteksa S.A de C.V.. The use of the Internet pages of the Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for the processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation, and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Bioteksa S.A de C.V. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise wishes to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. In addition, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, data transmissions over the Internet may always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, each data subject is free to transmit his or her personal data to us by alternative means, for example, by telephone.
Definitions
The data protection declaration of Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. is based on the terms used by the European Directive and the Ordering Authority when issuing the Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO).

To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. Carretera Las Pampas Km. 2.5, Apartado Postal 24 33981 José Mariano Jiménez, Chih. Mexico Phone number: +52 629 542 5101 E-mail: contacto@bioteksa.com Website: www.bioteksa.com
Cookies
Bioteksa S.A de C.V. Internet pages use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system by an Internet browser.
Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified through the unique identification of the cookie.
Through the use of cookies, Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As mentioned above, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her login data each time he or she visits the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is a shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart by means of a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the installation of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the installation of cookies. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the cookie settings in the Internet browser used, it may not be possible to make full use of all the functions of our website.
Data collection and general information.
The website of Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. collects a series of general data and information whenever a data subject or automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the access system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our computer systems.
When using these general data and information, Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is necessary (1) to provide the contents of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the contents of our website and the advertising thereof, (3) to ensure the long-term operability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information required for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. analyzes anonymously collected data and information, on the one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, so that we can ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. Anonymized data from server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
**Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing his or her personal data. The personal data that is transmitted to the controller in this process results from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.
When registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data enables the clarification of crimes that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transmission serves the purpose of criminal proceedings.
The registration of the data subject through the voluntary provision of his or her personal data serves to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the subject matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered data subjects are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to delete them completely from the data inventory of the data controller.
The controller shall provide any data subject who so requests, at any time, with information about the personal data stored about him/her. In addition, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with legal retention obligations. All staff of the controller will be available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Subscription to our newsletter.
On the website of Bioteksa S.A. de C.V., users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The personal data that is transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter is specified in the input mask used for this purpose.
Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. regularly informs its customers and business partners by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. Basically, the newsletter of our company can only be received by the interested party if (1) he or she has a valid e-mail address and (2) he or she registers for the newsletter to be sent. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for sending the newsletter using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to check whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration, assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP). The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the data subject's e-mail address at a later point in time and thus serves as a legal safeguard for the controller.
Personal data collected within the framework of a newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, newsletter subscribers may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. No personal data collected within the framework of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for sending the newsletter, can be revoked at any time. To revoke the consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. In addition, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller of this by another means.
Newsletter follow-up
The newsletters of Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail graphic that is embedded in such e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable the recording of log files and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Bioteksa S.A de C.V. may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.
Such personal data collected through the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the sending of newsletters and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects have the right to revoke the declaration of consent they have given in this regard at any time via the double opt-in procedure. Following a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. automatically regards the waiver of receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
Option of contact via the website.
On the basis of statutory provisions, the website of Bioteksa S.A. de C.V. contains data that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
Comments function on the website's blog
Bioteksa S.A de C.V. offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual contributions on a blog, which is located on the controller's website. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually visible to the public, in which one or more persons, called bloggers or web bloggers, can publish articles or write thoughts in so-called blogposts. Blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, details of the time the comment was entered and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published. In addition, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet Service Provider (ISP) is also recorded. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons and in the event that the person concerned violates the rights of third parties by posting a comment or posts illegal content. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest, so that the controller could exonerate itself, if necessary, in the event of an infringement. The personal data collected will not be disclosed to third parties, unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.
Subscription to blog comments on the website.
Comments made on the Bioteksa S.A de C.V. blog may generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commenter to subscribe to comments following his or her comment on a particular blog post.
If a data subject opts in to the option to subscribe to comments, the controller will send an automatic confirmation e-mail to verify, by means of a double opt-in procedure, that the holder of the e-mail address provided has indeed opted in. The option to subscribe to comments can be cancelled at any time.
Deletion and blocking of personal data.
The controller shall process and store the data subject's personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage is no longer applicable or if a storage period prescribed by the Directive and the European Regulation or other competent legislator expires, the personal data shall be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the legal provisions.

Data protection provisions on the use and application of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a social meeting place operating on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allows the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests, among other things.
Facebook's operating company is Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The data controller for the processing of personal data when the data subject lives outside the United States or Canada is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and in which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser of the data subject's IT system automatically receives from the respective Facebook component the download of a representation of the respective Facebook component. You can find a complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_EN. Within the framework of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website the data subject has visited.
If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time he or she calls up our website and during the entire respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject's personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which settings options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, there are several applications that make it possible to suppress the transmission of data to Facebook. These applications can be used by the data subject to suppress the transmission of data to Facebook.
Privacy policy on the use and application of Amazon Affiliate Program features
As a participant in the Amazon Affiliate Program, the Controller has integrated Amazon Components into this website. The Amazon components were designed by Amazon for the purpose of referring customers via advertisements to various websites of the Amazon group, in particular to Amazon.co.uk, Local.Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com, BuyVIP.com, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it and Amazon.es. BuyVIP.com in exchange for payment of a commission. The controller may generate advertising revenue through the use of Amazon components.
The operator of these Amazon Components is Amazon EU S.à.r.l, 5 Rue Plaetis, L-2338 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
Amazon sets a cookie on the data subject's computer system. What cookies are has already been explained above.

As part of this technical process, Amazon obtains knowledge of personal data that is used by Amazon to track the origin of orders received by Amazon and subsequently to enable the accounting of commissions. Among other things, Amazon can track that the person concerned has clicked on an affiliate link on our website.
The data subject can prevent the installation of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of an appropriate setting on the Internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the installation of cookies.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Amazon can be found at https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GX7NJQ4ZB8MHFRNJ.
Privacy policy on the use and application of Google AdSense
The controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that allows the placement of ads on third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the ads to be displayed on third-party sites according to the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense enables the targeting of Internet users based on their interests, which is carried out by generating individual user profiles.
The operator of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google-AdSense sets a cookie on the data subject's computer system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. can analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed, on which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the Internet browser of the data subject's IT system is automatically forced by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and billing commissions. As part of this technical procedure, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable the settlement of commissions.
The data subject can prevent the installation of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of an appropriate setting on the Internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the installation of cookies. This setting of the Internet browser used will also prevent Alphabet Inc. from installing a cookie on the data subject's computer system. In addition, a cookie that has already been set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail graphic that is embedded in Internet pages to enable logging and analysis of log files, which allows for statistical evaluation. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can see if and when a data subject has opened a website and which links he or she clicked. Among other things, tracking pixels are used to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.
Through Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of the displayed ads, are transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may share this personal data collected through technical processing with third parties.

Web analytics is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data about the website from which the data subject accessed a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and to analyze the costs and benefits of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The controller uses the add-on "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages takes place from a Member State of the European Union or from another State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject's computer system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By installing the cookie, Google can analyze the use of our website. Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser of the data subject's computer system is automatically forced by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable the calculation of commissions.
By means of the cookie, personal information such as the time of access, the location from which the access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may also transfer the personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the installation of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used, as described above, and thus permanently object to the installation of cookies. This setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from installing a cookie on the data subject's computer system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent such processing. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that data and information about visits to the Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the data subject's computer system is subsequently deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person under his or her control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
Data protection provisions on the use and application of Google AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to publish advertisements in Google search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, whereby an ad is displayed in Google's search engine results exclusively when the user obtains a relevant search result for the keyword with the search engine. In the Google ad network, ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account predefined keywords.
The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying relevant advertising on third-party websites and in Google search engine results, as well as to display third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject accesses our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie will be stored by Google on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and does not serve to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, for example the shopping cart of an online store system, have been called up on our website, provided that the cookie has not yet expired. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has accessed our website via an AdWords advertisement has generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a product purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile statistics on visits to our website. In turn, we use these visitor statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.
By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may also transfer the personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the installation of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used, as described above, and thus permanently object to the installation of cookies. This setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from installing a conversion cookie on the data subject's computer system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from any of the Internet browsers he or she uses and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Legal basis for processing.
Article 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, for processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation whereby the processing of personal data is necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and, as a result, his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be transmitted to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the treatment would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Finally, treatment operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. These processing operations are permitted to us, in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, it considered that a legitimate interest could be presumed if the data subject was a customer of the controller (recital 47, sentence 2, of the GDPR).
Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party.
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our stakeholders.
Duration of the storage of personal data.
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the period has expired, the respective data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of the contract.
Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide.
We inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax rules) or may also result from contractual rules (e.g. information about the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to enter into a contract, it may be necessary for the data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him/her. If the personal data is not provided, the contract cannot be concluded with the data subject. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
Existence of automated decision making.
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
This data protection declaration has been drawn up by DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, acting as the external data protection officer for Hamburg, in cooperation with the data protection lawyer Christian Solmecke.
