Data privacy statement

If you only browse our site or use the search function for trials, we do not collect any data that can be related to you. This only applies if you use the functions “get in touch” or “notify me”.

Our goal is to collect as little personal information as possible and only information that you provide to us voluntarily such as gender, age, email address and specifics regarding the type of your injury (injury level, injury level, time since injury).

We need your email address to inform you if you would match one or more of the studies on our site. To determine which trials are relevant for you, we need the above-mentioned information about your interests.

We process your information for purposes based on legitimate interests, the fulfillment of your wish to either sign up for notifications on new/updated trials or to get in contact with a contact person of the study (as listed on clinicaltrials.gov).

As for “notify me”, if you wish to unsubscribe from notifications you have applied for, we will delete all records (mail address and study interests) immediately.

As for “get in touch”, we are not saving and storing contact form data connected to your personal data - we are just transferring it to the study organization’s contact mail address. For statistical purposes (“analytics”) we store contact form data in an anonymized form, which means that none of information can be referred to your name or your mail address. This includes the following selection:

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the site. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address (will be anonymized), browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location (will be anonymized), information about how and when you use our site and other technical information.

Automatically collected information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our site, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes

For this, our site uses Web and Mobile Analytics by Matomo. Matomo works without cookies, ensures GDPR compliance and stores data within the European Union.

We do not share information that can be related to you without your approval. Upon your approval, we provide the possibility for you to contact the contact persons of the studies yourself through our site. For that reason, we are transferring the following data to the trial organization:

Our servers are located in the United States. If you are accessing our site from outside the United States, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed by us in our facilities in the United States, and other countries.

We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it.

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. Unfortunately, no transmission of personal information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, and despite our efforts, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, or to or from our online services. We have no responsibility or liability for the security of information transmitted via the Internet. If you have questions about this policy or the security of your personal information, please contact us as indicated under the “Contact Information” section below.
