  3. HOW WE SHARE AND DISPLAY PERSONAL DATA

    We will not share, sell, transfer or disseminate your Personal Data to third parties, unless required by law in accordance with Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, unless this is necessary for the purposes of your contract in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, unless the third party acts as a data subcontractor on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 of the GDPR, in accordance with Art. 26 of the GDPR, or if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

    We share some of your Personal Data with our affiliates, including Reverse Group, Inc., which are located in the United States, for the provision of IT tools and payment-related services.

    We also use third-party service providers who offer or perform services on our behalf and share your Personal Data with these providers to the extent necessary to enable them to perform their services on our behalf.

    • Processing of payments: We use payment service providers to charge you goods and services and for the processing of credit cards;

    The privacy policies of the above-mentioned entities are available on their business websites. Reverse Health is not responsible for the policies of third-party providers.

    Please note that with regard to transfers of personal data outside the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA), there is a risk that local authorities will be able to access the data for security and supervisory purposes without informing you or allowing you to initiate legal procedures.

  4. THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISING AND MARKETING

    We may share your e-mail address and other identifiers such as your name, location, telephone number and browsing behaviour with our marketing partners, publishers and other third-party service providers to help us target advertisements on their websites, applications or social networks. We use this service to reach new target groups that are similar to our existing customers based on their characteristics and other identifiers.

    We and our partners compare demographic information, including interests and social connections, with segment groups based on an advanced automated matching technique of similarities in their profiles. This process can be done in real time and the pairing can be done independently of the device you are using. In particular, we can use personalised Facebook and Google audiences that match Personal Data with the user data of the platform that it already controls to target advertisements.

    You can activate and disable these custom audiences, pixels and similar technologies via the cookie banner on our website. In addition, you can also use browser-based ad blockers to prevent Facebook from tracing your data.

    Reverse Health has no influence on advanced matching processes or on data that are evaluated by the third party for the purpose of creating reference groups.

  5. DATA TRANSFER

    We may share your personal information as described above with companies located outside the European Economic Area.

In some countries, there is a risk that authorities will be able to access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to initiate legal proceedings.

    Any sharing of your Personal Data with affiliate entities or with service providers will be in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and will be limited to what is necessary. We have carefully selected these companies and we are constantly making sure that they comply with our instructions. Such companies are contractually required not to use your Personal Data for purposes other than those described in this Privacy Policy. The legal basis on which we rely to share your Personal Data with these companies is a contract based on Art. 28(1) of the GDPR or Art. 26(1) of the GDPR or our legitimate interest in using these companies to provide the services described above (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
