3 Data processing principles

Personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This may include information such as name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behaviour. Information that does not allow us to identify you (unless we make a disproportionate effort) does not constitute personal data. Personal data must be processed (collected, recorded, used and transmitted) in compliance with the regulations, in good faith and not without the knowledge of the person concerned. Personal data must be collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a way incompatible with those purposes.

Certain personal information may be required to obtain the online services or information requested. This information is processed in accordance with the policy described in the European regulation, the main principles of which are set out below.

4. Individual treatments

Laboratoires Réunis Luxembourg S.A, hereinafter "LR", attaches great value to the protection of your medical and personal data. In line with this approach, we hereby wish to inform you of the manner in which we collect and process such data.

LR has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to deal with data protection queries and requests.

Nature and scope of data processing

Users may register and create a user account on the website by entering personal data (PatLogin / MedLogin, electronic results transfer platform). By doing so, you can access certain content and services, such as the transmission of test results and traceability in the event of ambiguity, on our website. Your e-mail address is used to send you new identifiers if you lose or forget your current identifiers.

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our website. We use them for online forms because they enable us to remember your contact details. We use cookies and similar technologies to identify your repeat visits and usage preferences, as well as to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and analyse traffic. If third parties use cookies to process information, they will collect the information directly from your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your hardware and they cannot run programs or contain viruses.
Our site uses different types of cookies, the nature and function of which are explained in more detail below.
Our website uses temporary cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. This type of cookie allows you to save your session ID. This makes it possible to assign different requests from your browser to a single session, allowing us to recognise your device the next time you visit our site.
The PatLogin /MedLogin programme uses persistent cookies. Persistent cookies are cookies that are stored in your browser for a longer period of time and provide us with information. The respective retention period varies depending on the cookie. You can delete persistent cookies in your browser settings.
 

Legal basis

The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies is defined in Article 6, § 1, lit. F of the RGPD.

Configuring browser settings

7. Monitoring and analysis tools

We use tracking and analysis tools to ensure the continuous optimisation and personalised design of our website. Tracking measures also enable us to record visitors' use of our website statistically and to develop our online offering on the basis of the knowledge gained. On the basis of these interests, the use of the tracking and analysis tools described below complies with Article 6, § 1, p. 1, lit. F of the RGPD. The following description of the tracking and analysis tools may also be used to designate the respective processing purposes and the data processed.

Matomo (formerly Piwik)

This website uses Matomo (ex Piwik), a real-time analysis and statistics software to measure the audience of our website. Matomo uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is stored on the web server. You can prevent the installation of cookies by modifying the corresponding properties of your browser software.
The IP address is anonymised after processing and before being stored. Even if the anonymisation function is activated, only pseudonymisation is ensured, effectively limiting the risk of direct re-identification.
Matomo calculates an internal hash algorithm based on various factors such as IP address, resolution, browser, plugins used and operating system. Even if the anonymisation function is activated, this heuristic uses the full IP address for internal purposes, so it can be fairly easy to trace back to the IP address by means of retroactive calculations.
If you do not want this data to be stored and evaluated, you can object at any time (by ticking the appropriate box). An opt-out cookie will be saved on your browser so that your session data is not collected by Matomo.

8. Hyperlinks

Our website contains hyperlinks to the websites of other providers. By activating the hyperlinks, you will be taken directly to third-party websites with a different URL address. We accept no responsibility for the confidential treatment of your data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence over these third-party suppliers with regard to compliance with data protection regulations. We invite you to contact the administrators of these websites directly to obtain more information about the management of your personal data.
