Links to other websites
This privacy policy does not apply to websites or applications of third parties. Links to third-party websites or applications are marked as such. Siemens Healthineers is not responsible for the collection, processing and use of your data within the context of websites or applications that are not operated by us, nor is Siemens Healthineers responsible for their content.
Recipients and transfer of personal data
For the purposes described above, Siemens Healthineers may cooperate with affiliated companies and external services providers and may therefore disclose or transfer your personal data to the following recipients:
• Other Siemens Healthineers or Siemens affiliated companies.
• Service providers which process personal data as part of their service provision for Siemens Healthineers (e.g. service providers for IT maintenance activities, processing of inquiries, administration of user identities).

As a global company, Siemens Healthineers also has affiliates in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) ('third countries') and cooperates with external service providers who may also be located in third countries. Third countries are countries where the applicable law does not guarantee the same level of data protection as within the EEA.
If the recipients of your personal data are located in third countries for which the EU Commission has not made an adequacy decision to the effect that an adequate level of data protection exists in these third countries, Siemens Healthineers will take other measures to implement appropriate guarantees for the protection of your personal data in accordance with the GDPR. Personal data is only transferred to external recipients in third countries if, for example,
i. they have concluded (i) EU standard data protection clauses with Siemens Healthineers or
ii. introduced (ii) Binding Corporate Rules.
For further information on the respective guarantees, please refer to the following links:
- EU standard data protection clauses
Further information and a copy of the implemented measures can be obtained upon request from the Siemens Healthineers Data Privacy Organization
Retention period
Siemens Healthineers will only process your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose of the processing, this means maximum 2 years or until you revoke your consent or object to the processing and there is no other legal basis or overriding legitimate reasons for the processing.
To the extent that Siemens Healthineers needs to process your personal data to fulfil a legal obligation or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, Siemens Healthineers stores your personal data until the legal obligation is fulfilled or the legal claims have been asserted.
