Content Of The Website https://orthopaedicresearchlab.nl

Our content covers part of the scientific research and education the ORL performs and contains several profiles of researchers that are involved in the activities of the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (ORL) Nijmegen.

We allow these individuals’ personal data to be used only to contact them for matters related to their function. Therefore, processing this information in a way incompatible with this purpose (such as further transmission, further publication, direct marketing and requests for information, which differ from the matters indicated) is illegal and liable to consequences according to applicable legislation.

What Are Cookies?

A cookie is a small text file with information that is sent by a web server to a web browser, and that is stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser. Cookies are usually automatically placed on your computer, tablet, mobile telephone or other device you use when you visit a website. There are various types of cookies.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies are technically necessary to make the website operate. They are necessary in order to remember your functional preferences, like use of language and font size. For these, your permission is not required. You cannot disable functional cookies.

Session Cookies

Session cookies keep track of you whilst you navigate the website, for web analytics or to temporarily record the state of a service. Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies enable a website to recognise you when you next visit, for example, to retain your username for a login. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, or until they reach a specified expiry date. You cannot login to our website and we don’t use persistent cookies to date.

Analytical Cookies

We use analytical cookies that have little to no impact on your privacy. The website https://orthopaedicresearchlab.nl uses AWStats Analytics, a web analytics service provided by AWStats. We use this service to analyse log-files and to track how visitors use our website, with the aim to improve the website. In addition, some data is recorded, such as the browser you are using, type of device (mobile or not) and the source of your visit. These data will only be used to improve our website.

Embedded Cookies

Several pages of the website https://orthopaedicresearchlab.nl contain embedded content, like Google-maps and videos from YouTube and Vimeo. Opening this content on our website is like visiting the website of Google, YouTube or Vimeo. These organisations have their own policy regarding cookies. The Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (ORL) Nijmegen has no influence on their privacy policy or practices concerning cookies. Note that these organisations usually place tracking cookies on your device.

Which Data Do We Collect And Process?

The Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (ORL) Nijmegen uses functional cookies and AWStats to collect data. We may collect, store and use information about your computer and about your visits to and use of our website https://orthopaedicresearchlab.nl. We only collect information that web browsers, mobile devices, and servers typically make available, such as your IP address, geographical location, browser type and version, operating system, referring site, length of visit, page views, website navigation and details.

Why Do We Collect, Store And Process Data?

Data from functional cookies is technically necessary to be able to visit and communicate with a website. You cannot communicate with our website when you disable functional cookies.

The information generated by the analytical cookies of the software programme AWStats is used to track how our website is used, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Analytical data may enable us to monitor and prevent any problems with our services, protect the security of our services, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions and other illegal activities, fight spam, and protect the rights and property of the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (ORL) Nijmegen and others, which may result in us declining the use of our services. Usually, we also determine the approximate location of your device from your IP address. We collect and use this information to calculate how many people visit our services from certain geographic regions.

How Long Do We Keep Collected Data?

Personal data will not be kept for longer than is necessary to achieve the objectives for which they were collected and processed. An exception may be made if it is necessary to keep information for historical, statistical or scientific purposes or on the grounds of a statutory regulation.

How Do We Protect Your Private Data?

The information generated by the analytical cookies of the software programme AWStats about your use of our website https://orthopaedicresearchlab.nl will be transmitted to and stored on the server we use from Yourhosting in the Netherlands. While no online service is 100% secure, we work very hard to protect information about you against unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction, and take reasonable measures to do so, such as monitoring our services for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.

Note: the data we collect is ‘public data’ from your log-files that you provide to us when you contact the server of our https://orthopaedicresearchlab.nl website. Collecting measurement data has no or very limited impact on your privacy, because there is no personal information collected and because we do not use this data to tailor ads to your personal preferences. None of this information is used to identify you personally.

Who Has Access To Your Data?

Collected data will be handled confidentially and used only by the relevant staff according to a “need to know” principle. However, we may disclose the information to third parties if we are legally required; the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (ORL) Nijmegen has no influence on this.

You are entitled to access your personal data and rectify and/or block it in case the data is inaccurate or incomplete. You may also request us to delete your personal information completely. When you want to exercise your rights you have to contact us, preferably by e-mail. To protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to help verify your identity before granting access or making corrections.
