Web Analytics tools provide statistics and graphics that give insights into use of our websites and our users’ browsing behaviour. In the process, the data about the use of a website is transmitted to the server used to that purpose. Such servers may be located abroad, depending on the provider of the online-marketing or web analytics Tools. 

 

7.1 Google tools

In the case of the tool Google Analytics used for web analytics, the recorded data are transferred, including truncated IP addresses, which prevents the identification of individual devices. 

The online-marketing tool DoubleClick uses cookies in order to insert advertisements that are relevant to the user, to improve the reports on campaign performance or to prevent a given user from seeing the same advertisements several times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which advertisements are inserted in which browser in order to prevent displaying them several times. Moreover, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record “conversions”, which are related to ad requests. Such is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick advertisement and subsequently opens the advertiser's website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick Cookies do not contain any personal information.

Because of the Google tools used, your browser automatically sets up a direct connection with the Google server. Pharmapal Drug Store LLC  (Maison Dentaire) has no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google using that tool.

Google complies with UAE and EU data protection provisions and has registered with the US Department of Commerce for the "UAE-U.S. Privacy Shield" and "EU-U.S. Privacy Shield" (for information about Privacy Shield, see https://www.privacyshield.gov).

  6. the frequency of calling the website.

In the process, the Matomo software is run exclusively on our website servers, so that user personal data is only stored there and not shared with third parties.

8) Use of social media: Social Media plugins

8.1 "Single sign-on” process by means of a social media account

Pharmapal Drug Store LLC (Maison Sante Boutique) lets you use your sign-in data of your user account on a social network (e.g., Facebook or Google+) to sign in and/or create a customer account. When social media plugins are used, the user's personal data are shared with social network providers. 

When you open a Pharmapal Drug Store LLC (Maison Sante Boutique) website that contains such a plugin, your browser sets up a direct connection with the relevant social network's servers. The content of the plugin will then be transmitted directly from the social network to your browser and integrated into the page you are viewing. Through integration of plugins, the social network will be informed that your browser has opened the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the social network in question or are not currently logged into it. Such information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to one of the social network's servers, where it is stored. 

 

8.1.1 Facebook Connect

If you want to use your Facebook profile to log into the Pharmapal Drug Store LLC (Maison Sante Boutique) website, the social plugin "Facebook Connect" lets you use the single sign-on process. The social plugin "Facebook Connect" is operated by the social network Facebook, of the company Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook"). You can recognize "Facebook Connect" social plugins by the blue button with the Facebook logo and the label "Log in with Facebook” or “Connect with Facebook" or "Sign in with Facebook".

You can also click the "Facebook Connect” button on our website to log in or register with our website using your Facebook Connect user data. 

When you click the "Facebook Connect” button on our website, in order for us to receive the general information in your Facebook profile and the data that you have made generally available by selecting “Public” in your Facebook privacy settings, you must first expressly consent to data sharing with Facebook by selecting the appropriate option before the log-in process. Such information includes your User ID, name, profile picture, age and gender.

Please note that according to amendments to the Facebook Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, if you grant your consent, your profile pictures, your friends’ user IDs and friend list may also be shared with us, if you have set those items to “public” in your Facebook privacy settings. The data shared by Facebook will be used by us to create a user account with the necessary data (title, first names, last name, address, country, e-mail address, date of birth), and then stored and processed, in case you have consented to the release of such information on Facebook. And, vice-versa, with your consent, we may share data (e.g., information about your browsing or shopping behaviour) with your Facebook profile.

You may revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to our data protection officer (see item 1).

Facebook Inc., which is based in the USA, is certified under the UAE-U.S. and UAE-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, which ensures compliance with the data protection standards applicable in United Arab Emirates and in the EU.

For more information about the purpose and scope of the data collected and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and optional privacy settings, please see Facebook's data policy at: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php

If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected on our website directly to your Facebook profile, you need to log out from Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely block the downloading of Facebook plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g., by using "Adblock Plus" (https://adblockplus.org/de/).

 

8.1.2  Google+ Sign-In

If you want to log into the Pharmapal Drug Store LLC  (Maison Sante Boutique) website using your Google+ profile, the social plugin "Google+ Sign-in" lets you use the single sign-on process. The social plugin "Google+ Sign-In" is operated by the social network Google+, of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google+"). You can recognize the social plugins of "Google+ Sign-In” on our website by the red button with the Google+ logo and the label "Google Sign-In" or "Log in with Google".

You can also click the "Google+” button on our website to log in or register with our website using your Google+ user data. When you click the "Google+” button on our website, in order for us to receive the information in your Google+ profile that you have made generally available in your Google+ privacy settings, you must first expressly consent to data sharing with Google+ by selecting the appropriate option before the log-in process. Such information includes your User ID, name, profile picture, age and gender.

The data shared by Google+ will be used by us to create a user account with the necessary data (title, first names, last name, address, country, e-mail address, date of birth), and then stored and processed, in case you have consented to the release of such information on Google+. And, vice-versa, with your consent, we may share data (e.g., information about your browsing or shopping behaviour) with your Google+ profile.

8.2 Using social media by means of "social media plugins"

Pharmapal Drug Store LLC  (Maison Sante Boutique) may use social media plugins on the website, e.g., from social networks such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter or Instagram. Those platforms have their own privacy policies, which are beyond Pharmapal Drug Store LLC  (Maison Sante Boutique) control. 

To increase the protection of your data when you visit the Pharmapal Drug Store LLC  (Maison Sante Boutique) website, we have integrated two different mechanisms: 

  • DoubleClick solution (Facebook, Google+, Twitter)
    The social network plugins are initially disabled and can be integrated into the site by means of a "2-Klick” solution. Disabled plugins, which are greyed out, are not able to set up a connection with the social network's servers until you express your consent to data sharing by double-clicking them. At that point your browser will connect directly to the social platform's servers. The content of the relevant plugin will then be transmitted directly from the social network to your browser and integrated into the site. The plugin will then share data (including your IP address) with the social network. Pharmapal Drug Store LLC  (Maison Sante Boutique) has no control over the scope of the data collected by the social network by means of the plugin. Through integration of plugins, the social network will be informed that your browser has opened the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with the social network in question or are not currently logged into it. The collected information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to one of the social network's servers, where it is stored. When you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information will also be transmitted directly to one of the social network's servers and stored there. That information will also be published on your social network profile and your contacts will be displayed there. 

  • Shariff solution (LinkedIn, Instagram)    
    The buttons of the social networks LinkedIn and Instagram are integrated into the site using an HTML link. Such integration ensures that, when you open a page of our website that contains such buttons, no connection will be set up with the social network's servers yet. When you click the button, a new browser window will be displayed and the page of the social network will be called where you can interact with its plugins (you may have to enter into your login data first).

You can revoke your consent at any time by clicking the enabled plugin again to disable it, or by logging out of the social network and closing the website. Such revocation will not affect the data already transmitted to the social network, however.

The social networks listed below have signed the UAE-U.S. and UAE-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, certifying compliance with the data protection standards applicable in United Arab Emireates and in the EU.

 

8.3 Using YouTube Videos

Pharmapal Drug Store LLC  (Maison Sante Boutique)uses the YouTube embed function for display and playback of the videos from "YouTube", which is owned by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

The extended data protection mode is used which, according to YouTube, does not begin storage of user information until playback of the video(s). Once the playback of an embedded YouTube video has been launched, YouTube uses cookies to collect information about the user's behaviour. According to "YouTube", such information is used to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive practices If you are logged into Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account if you click on a video. If you do not want your data to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you need to log out before clicking the button. Google stores and analyses your data in the form of user profiles (even in the case of users who are not logged in). Such analysis is performed, in particular, based on Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or need-based design of its website. You are entitled to object to the formation of this user profile, in which case you must exercise that right on YouTube.

Regardless of playback of the embedded videos, every time you open the website a connection is established with the Google network "DoubleClick", which may trigger further data processing that is beyond our control.

Google LLC, which is based in the USA, is certified under the E.U-U.S. and UAE-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, which ensures compliance with the data protection standards applicable in United Arab Emirates and in the EU.

For further information about YouTube's data protection, see the provider's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=us
