General Data Processing
In principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our contents and services.

User data / Server log files
Whenever you visit our website, our systems automatically collect data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following types of data are collected: Browser type, version used, operating system of the user, internet service provider, IP address of the user, date and time of retrieval, websites from which the user's system has come to our website or to which the user of our website accesses. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and logfiles is Art. 6 para. 1) lit. f) GDPR with the above mentioned legitimate interests. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to the computer of the user. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of data for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Furthermore, we reserve the right to check the files if, based on concrete evidence, there is a legitimate suspicion of illegal use or a concrete attack on the pages. In this case, our legitimate interest is the processing for the purpose of clarification and criminal prosecution of such attacks and illegal use.
Use of cookies
We use cookies. Cookies are text files that can be stored and retrieved on the user's computer system when visiting a website in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser. Cookies can contain a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website or a service integrated into it is accessed up again. We use cookies to enable the operation of our website (technically necessary cookies), to make our website more user-friendly (functional cookies) and for marketing and advertising purposes (advertising cookies).
Technical cookies: Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. The purpose of this use is to enable the function of the website in the first place. Examples of technically necessary cookies are the provision of a shopping cart or the login as a registered user. The processing is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) or f) GDPR.
Functional cookies: There may be functions which are not technically necessary for the operation of our website, but which considerably simplify its use, such as the adoption of language settings or font sizes, the memorization of search terms, etc. Processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) or f) GDPR.
Advertising cookies: We also use cookies on some of our websites, which enable an analysis of the surfing behavior of the users. In this way, e.g.: search terms entered in search engines, frequency of page views, use of website functions, and information about the operating system and browser, etc. are transmitted. The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if the user has given his consent to this - e.g. by selecting in a cookie opt-in banner - otherwise Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in conjunction with If third-party services are integrated, the processing by them is governed by their respective data protection provisions, which are mentioned and/or linked below.
General statements about web beacons / tracking pixel
Web beacons are invisible graphics with the size of a pixel. They are used by partner companies, for the purpose of tracking a user via various web pages to create a profile for use in advertising tailored to the user (targeting). A pixel integrated into the web page is loaded from the partner's server when the web page is accessed. In this way, the partner receives your IP address, as well as information about your browser and its version, browser plug-ins used (browser fingerprint), your operating system and your network operator. For the integration of external services through web beacons / tracking pixels or other scripts, the specifications for advertising cookies apply accordingly.
Content of external providers
On our website we use active JavaScript content and fonts, which may also come from external providers such as Google. By accessing our website, these providers may receive information about your visit to our website, for example by transmitting your IP address. You can prevent this transmission by installing a JavaScript blocker such as the browser plugin 'NoScript' or by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, this can lead to functional restrictions.
Some of our web pages integrate third party content within the offer, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, images, texts and multi-media files, RSS feeds or other services from other websites. This always requires the transmission of your IP address to the providers of these contents. We cannot make any statement about the use of your data by these providers and have no influence on further processing. We do not know whether the data will be used for other purposes, such as profile building. Please refer to the corresponding data protection information of the respective third-party providers.
You can protect yourself against further persecution by tracking pixels from these providers by deactivating the acceptance of third-party cookies in your browser settings.
The legal basis for the transmission of personal data when integrating third party providers is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if the user has given his consent to this - e.g. by selection in a cookie opt-in banner - otherwise Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in conjunction with recital 47.
Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our websites. The information collected by means of the cookies about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In Google Analytics 4, the anonymization of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address will be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. During your website visit, your user behaviour is recorded in the form of "events". Events can be: page views, first time visiting the website, session start, interaction with the website, scrolls, clicks on external links, internal search queries, interaction with videos, file downloads, ads seen / clicked, language setting.
Also collected: Your approximate location (region), your IP address (in shortened form), technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution), your internet service provider, the referrer URL (via which website/ via which advertising medium you came to this website).
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your pseudonymous use of the website and compiling reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyze the performance of our website.
Recipients of the data are/could be: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as processor according to Art. 28 GDPR); Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities will access the data stored by Google. Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. If applicable, you are not entitled to any legal remedies against access by authorities. The data sent by us and linked to cookies will be automatically deleted after 2. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month. The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Art.6 para.1 p.1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings and changing your selection there. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation remains unaffected.
You can also prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by setting your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may result in a restriction of functionalities on this and other websites. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by
a) not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or
b) downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics HERE.

Google reCaptcha
In order to ensure data security when submitting forms and to protect ourselves from SPAM, we use the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). This is primarily used to distinguish whether the input is made by a natural person or improperly by machine and automated processing. After entering and pressing the corresponding confirm button, your IP address and, if applicable, further data required for the reCAPTCHA service will be sent to Google. The legal basis for the processing of your IP address and the use of reCAPTCHA is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure transmission of form data and the smooth operation of our website.
Standard contractual clauses apply to the transfer of personal data to the USA. Furthermore, deviating data protection regulations of Google Inc. apply. Further information on the data protection guidelines of Google Inc. can be found at http://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy or https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
OpenStreetMap
The mapping tool "Open Street Maps" is implemented on our website via an API interface. This is an open source street map from the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom. In order to provide the OpenStreetMap, it is necessary to store your IP address. Your IP address is transmitted to the OpenStreetMap servers and processed there.

Further data protection information can be found under the following link: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.
Contact form and e-mail contact
On our website is a contact form available, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored. These data are: Name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, etc.. Not all of these data must be mandatory. At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored: The IP address, date and time. The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for the processing is:
- For the receipt of the data based on the sending of the contact form as consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) in connection with Art. 5 (expected processing) GDPR or alternatively on the basis of the legitimate interest of answering your contact request according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
- For the processing of data transmitted in the context of sending an e-mail, Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) GDPR with the above-mentioned legitimate interests.
- If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended and there is no reason for further storage. The conversation is finished when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. Retention periods under commercial and tax law may exist.
The user has the possibility to revoke his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued.
Newsletter
On our website you have the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter with promotional content. Our newsletters contain information about our service offers, promotions, events, competitions, job offers, contributions / articles. Newsletters, on the other hand, do not include news without advertising information that is sent within the framework of our contractual or other business relationship. This includes, for example, the sending of service e-mails with technical information and queries about orders, events, notifications of competitions or similar messages. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. In addition, the IP address of the calling computer and the time of the call are collected. For the processing of the data, your consent is obtained during the registration process and reference is made to this data protection declaration. In case you purchase goods on our website via our online shop and enter your e-mail address, we reserve the right to send you newsletters with direct advertising for similar goods. In connection with the data processing for the dispatch of newsletters, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for the dispatch of the newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is, if the user has given his consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR and for the dispatch of the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods in accordance with § 7 para. 3 UCA or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) (dispatch based on our legitimate business interest).
The collection of the user's e-mail address is used to send the newsletter. The collection of other personal data in the course of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used. The subscription to the newsletter can be revoked by the user at any time. For this purpose there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.
A statistical evaluation of the reading behavior only takes place to the extent that it can be determined whether the recipients have opened the newsletter and clicked on the links. This is a function that we use, however, only to check the user activities and to be able to make corresponding optimizations. For this purpose, the newsletter contains a so-called "web beacon", a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened. This web-beacon can be personalized, so that personal data is collected. Clicks are tracked via personalized links to the respective website. If personalized data are collected, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Data collection during registration and registered use
Some of our websites require or offer registration. The data collected in the process is used for the purpose of using the respective websites and services, unless otherwise described and explicitly agreed upon during registration. The data collected is derived from the input mask in the context of registration, processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. All other data that you can enter at a later date to complete your profile are optional and voluntary and are based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The legal basis for the content provided is Art. 6 para. 1 lit a) and/or b) GDPR, for all other data collected in the process Art. 6 para. 1 lit f) GDPR.
Creditworthiness information
Furthermore, we reserve the right, in the case of orders or commissions, to pass on personal data to third parties for credit information purposes, insofar as this is necessary to protect our legitimate interests. In doing so, only the data required to calculate the creditworthiness using a mathematical-statistical procedure by the credit agency will be transmitted. We require creditworthiness information in order to be able to decide on the establishment and execution of a contractual relationship while safeguarding our legitimate interests.
Data transmission via the internet
Data transmission via the internet is generally associated with certain risks. A special encryption of the data is not carried out, especially messages from the contact form of our website and messages in the service chat are transmitted unencrypted.
Please bear this in mind when transmitting data. If you wish to communicate with us by means of encrypted e-mail, this is possible by using SMIME encryption. Please inform us of your wish to use encryption, as we regularly send unencrypted e-mails due to the current low market penetration of e-mail encryption methods.
Data transfer

Privacy policy for whistleblowing
When an internal or external whistleblower reports an irregular act in the company, this is referred to as ‘whistleblowing’. This confidential report can concern information and substantiated suspicions about actual or potential violations that have either already been committed or are very likely to occur. A whistleblowing system therefore offers the opportunity to uncover potential violations.
‘The EU Whistleblower Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law) aims to protect persons who report breaches. It also protects persons who are the subject of a report or disclosure and other persons affected by a report or disclosure. For Germany, the requirements are defined in the HinSchG. This results in a legal obligation to introduce a whistleblowing procedure (so-called ‘internal reporting centre’).
In the event of suspected violations of the law, unethical behaviour or other misconduct, the whistleblower reporting office/portal is at your disposal. Our employees, customers, suppliers and business partners can use this to report suspected or actual violations.
Such offences include, for example:
- Fraud, theft, embezzlement
- Bribery/corruption
- Offences relating to the Supplier Due Diligence Act or Supply Chain Act
- Antitrust law offences
- Violation of data protection or IT security guidelines
- Product safety
- Violations of environmental protection regulations
- Conflicts of interest
- Sexual harassment, discrimination, offences against personal integrity
Procedure for reporting suspected cases
If you are convinced that the actions of one or more employees constitute misconduct, you should always report these concerns to your line manager. If you have a justified reason for feeling uncomfortable about clarifying this with your line manager or if you fear negative consequences for yourself, such as reprisals, unfair treatment or dismissal, you can also contact your line manager.
Using the whistleblower portal
The safest way to submit a report is to open the following address in the browser of your private device: https://baggroup.hinweisgebersystem.online/.
This portal guarantees independent and anonymous processing of the reported incidents.
If the whistleblower has personal interests in the matter raised, they should disclose this from the outset.
Joint responsibility for a joint reporting centre for the corporate group
The reporting centre is operated under joint responsibility with other affiliated companies in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR.
The participating companies have concluded an agreement in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, which will be made available on request.
Participating affiliated companies are
- BAG Holding GmbH
- BAG Health Care GmbH
- BAG Diagnostics GmbH
Incorrect information
The company will treat all reports of misconduct seriously and protect individuals who raise complaints in good faith. However, disciplinary or legal action may be taken against whistleblowers who provide false information. The Whistleblower Protection Act explicitly excludes protection of the whistleblower's identity in the case of false information or even defamation. In such cases, the malicious whistleblower is even obliged to compensate the damage (Section 38 of the Whistleblower Protection Act).
Dealing with reports
Incoming reports are processed according to a standardised and fair process. All information received is treated in strict confidence, reports can be submitted anonymously if desired, whereby anonymity is guaranteed in any case during the further course of the process.
After your report, you will receive notification of receipt and acknowledgement of the report within 7 days. You can rest assured that the information will be handled discreetly and confidentially. You will be informed of the information from the investigation process and corresponding follow-up measures no later than 3 months after your report.
The Whistleblower Protection Act includes protection against being penalised for providing information. The whistleblower therefore does not have to fear any negative consequences. If violations of German law are reported, the law protects the whistleblower from any negative consequences. In addition, the whistleblower is not liable for any damage caused by the discovery of the offence.
Protecting the identity of the whistleblower is the top priority of the Whistleblower Protection Act. This is guaranteed by the option of confidential reporting. The identity of the whistleblower will only be disclosed with their consent. An exception is made in the case of judicial or official investigations. In this case, the whistleblower is informed before their identity is disclosed.
Processed data, purposes of processing and legal bases
The processing of personal data includes
- data on the whistleblower (if not reported anonymously), if applicable on the accused and other persons involved (e.g. witnesses)
- other data depending on the content of the report (data in the report)
- furthermore, the related data processed in the course of internal investigations.
The purposes of the processing are the investigation and, if necessary, the proof of violations of applicable law and/or internal instructions as well as the defence of the company against legal claims and any official investigations and proceedings by documenting the processing, procedures and investigations.
The legal bases are
- essentially the legal obligation to process in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. C GDPR in conjunction with § 10ff. HinSchG, insofar as it relates to the content of reports
- in addition, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, insofar as data is provided voluntarily and without necessity or data is processed on the basis of consent.
Consent can be revoked at any time with effect from the time of revocation.
- Alternatively, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR as a legitimate interest if it affects any conflicting interests, for example for documentation within the company to avoid liability or to defend against unjustified legal claims or to defend oneself in any legal proceedings.
Recipient (categories)
The reporting centre is operated by an external service provider, which in turn uses a cloud-based whistleblowing and communication platform.
Furthermore, data is passed on to the relevant internal departments within the company or group of companies in accordance with the HinSchG.
Other recipients may include other external service providers, such as legal service providers and/or forensic experts and, depending on the circumstances, consultants called in.
Other information
The data subject rights mentioned in the parent page of the privacy policy apply.
A transfer to third countries is not intended.
Deletion of the data
All data related to the report/case will be deleted in accordance with Section 11 (5) HinSchG 3 years after the conclusion of the procedure, unless there are other legal grounds for keeping the case for longer.
This could be the case if there are longer retention periods due to commercial or tax regulations.
