Dear Visitors,
The protection of your privacy is important to us! We would therefore like to inform you about how we handle your data that is collected when you use our website with the information below.
The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR] for the BEGO company group, comprising:
is BEGO GmbH & Co. KG, represented by the personally liable partner Weiss Beteiligungs GmbH
We only collect and utilize our users’ personal data if this is necessary to provide a fully functional website as well as our contents and services. Should this not be the case, use of personal data normally only takes place with the user’s consent. An exception to this is made in cases where it is not possible to obtain consent in advance for concrete reasons, and the processing of the data is permitted through legal provisions.
Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for the purpose of processing their personal data, Article 6 (1) lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary to perform a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR applies as the legal basis. This also applies to processing activities that are necessary to implement pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as it is necessary to process personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which our enterprise is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR applies as the legal basis.
Should it be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Art. 6 (1) (d) of the GDPR applies as the legal basis.
Insofar as it is necessary to process personal data to protect a legitimate interest of our enterprise or of a third party, and if said interest is not overridden by the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR applies as the legal basis. Our company’s legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities.
We process and store the data subject’s personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the processing and storage. Storage may also take place as far as is prescribed by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions for compliance with the data controller’s legal obligation. Personal data is routinely blocked or deleted as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply or a time limit for storage prescribed by the aforementioned laws expires.
We use the common SSL method (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser within the website visit. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we will use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether a single page of our website is transmitted encrypted by the closed-form display of the key or lock symbols in the lower status bar of your browser. However, we expressly point out that data transmission online (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security gaps and cannot be seamlessly protected from access by third parties.
We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures will be continuously improved and correspond to the state of the art in line with technological developments.
Every time the website is accessed, we or the website provider record data and information by means of an automated system. This is stored in the server’s log files.
Server log files are anonymized data which cannot be used to identify you, but are indispensable for technical reasons to supply and display our contents.
The following data may be collected:
The legal basis for the temporary storage of log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
It is necessary for the system to temporarily store the IP address in order to allow the website contents to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this reason, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the correct functioning of the website. We also need the data in order to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this connection.
These purposes also include our legitimate interest in the processing of the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection.
In the data is collected for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated.
If data is stored in log files, this is done seven days afterwards at the latest. Extended storage is possible. In this case, users’ IP addresses are deleted or modified so that they can no longer be allocated to the viewing client.
Recording data for providing the website and storing the data in log files is essential for the purpose of operating the website. As a result, the user has no opportunity to object.
Due to the current discussion around the topic of data protection, we have decided to evaluate our website with an
analysis software (matomo.BEGO.com) that complies with data protection regulations.
For this evaluation, the software uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website
analyze how users use the site. For this purpose, the usage information generated by the cookie (including your
shortened IP address) is transmitted to our server and stored. Your IP address is immediately anonymized during this
process so that your user data remains protected at all times. The information generated by the cookie about your
use of this website will not be disclosed to third parties.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if
you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Within the context of our website, we use a link from BEGO to social networks “Facebook”, “LinkedIn”, “Xing”, “YouTube” and “Instagram” and in the case of BEGO Implant Systems to “Facebook”, “LinkedIn” and “YouTube”. You can recognize the link by the corresponding logo. When you click on this, you are forwarded to our presence on Facebook.
To optimally protect your data, the buttons are integrated in our website in such a way that they can only be activated by clicking on the button with the respective network logo. A connection to the servers of the relevant social network is established when you activate and click on the logo button. Therefore, no data is transferred simply as a result of viewing and visiting the site.

This operator transfers the content of the link directly to your browser and integrates it into the website. Through this integration, the network operator receives the information that you viewed the corresponding page of our website. If you were logged into the relevant network at the time, your visit to our website may be allocated to your account. If you do not wish this to happen, then you should log out of the network before clicking on the logo share button.

In the context of registration, we initially need a valid e-mail address from you. In the further registration process we collect other data that we require from you for orders in the e-shop, e.g., name, address and e-mail address. The fields for data which are required for registration and have to be specified are marked as mandatory fields in the registration menu. The data specified by you is stored by us and is used solely to render the services you require and therefore to fulfill our contracts with you, e.g., to supply products that you order from us or to issue invoices.

Only registered users have access to BEGO’s eShop.
Storage period
Your data is saved insofar and as long as this is necessary to fulfill the contract and is required in accordance with the statutory retention periods. Following the expiry of the respective period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in further storage.
For the use of our customer portal my. BEGO.com or the associated software, your registration is required. The requested data will be processed exclusively for the purpose of the fulfillment of the contract. The registration records the user’s name, first name, address, contact details, e-mail address, practice name and IP address as well as the date and time of registration. This is intended to prevent misuse of the services and identify you as a contractual partner as well as to fulfill the contract. The data will not be passed on to third parties. An exception exists if you have given your consent, if there is a legal obligation to pass on or if the transfer is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship.
The data provided by you in the context of the registration and data that is necessary for the use of the printer and for the manufacture of 3-D products will be saved for the purpose of traceability and the customer service. Even when using the portal, no data will be transmitted to BEGO. The legal basis of the data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
If subscription to the BEGO newsletter takes place, the data is sent to the data controller in the respective input mask. When registering for the newsletter, the user’s IP address and data and the time of registration are saved. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the data subject’s e-mail address. There is no forwarding of data to third parties. One exception is if there is a legal obligation to forward the data. The data is used solely for distributing the newsletter. Dispatch of the newsletter takes place based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
When registering for the newsletter, you consent to us sending newsletters from the areas requested by you to your e-mail address. When registering you agree to the following wording of the text giving your consent:
“I hereby consent to [Name] sending me emails to the email address specified by me for the purpose of […]. I have the right to revoke this consent with effect for the future at any time. I have taken note of the privacy policy with further information on data processing.”
You can revoke this consent for the future at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. For this purpose, enter your e-mail address under the following link. Through submission of your e-mail address and confirmation, you are automatically removed from the mailing list. You will also find the corresponding link in every newsletter.
Registration for our newsletter is carried out in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means you receive an e-mail after registration, in which you are asked to confirm your registration. As proof of registration to the newsletter, the time or registration and confirmation and the IP address are stored.
The statistical collection, analysis and recording of the registration procedure take place on the basis of the legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The legitimate interests lie in the proper and technically flawless execution of the email dispatch.
We save your e-mail address which you specified in the course of ordering the newsletter for as long as you subscribe to the newsletter. As soon as you have unsubscribed from the newsletter, we erase your email address.
The dispatch of the newsletter is carried out by the carrier CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the carrier, through which it is ensured that personal data will be processed in accordance with the provisions of data protection law. You can view the data security provisions at https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datensicherheit/.
The carrier may use the recipient’s data in a pseudonymized form, i.e., without allocation to a user, in order to optimize or improve its own services, e.g., for technical optimization of the distribution and the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. The carrier will not, however, use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself, nor will it pass on the data to third parties.
The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e., a pixel-sized file that is accessed by the server of CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG when the newsletter is opened. During this access, initially technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of access, are recorded.
This information will be used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on the locations of access (which can be determined with the aid of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical records will also include the determination of whether the newsletters are opened and what links are clicked on. For technical reasons, it is possible to allocate this information to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is not our aim, or that of CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, to monitor individual users. Rather, the analysis serves the purpose of recognizing our users’ reading habits and adjusting our content to suit them or send different information in line with our users’ interests.
To increase the range of services offered by us you will find links to other websites on our websites for which other providers are responsible. For information on the extent to which our advertising partners collect personal data, please refer to their privacy policies. You will see that data is being forwarded because a new browser window will open and a new address will be displayed in the browser line.
Except for the cases already described, we only forward your personal data to third parties if:
There is no forwarding of your data to third parties.
You have the right:
Insofar as your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR if there are grounds relating to your particular situation or the objection is directed at direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which is implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.
If you would like to exercise your right of revocation or objection, an e-mail to privacy@bego.com (Data Protection Officer) will suffice.
This Privacy Policy is currently valid and was last revised in December 2020.
Due to the further development of our website and ranges of services offered above or due to changes in legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to change this Privacy Policy. The current Privacy Policy may be viewed at any time on the website at https://www.bego.com/privacy-policy/.
