For written inquiries to the Olympus Data Protection Officer, the above address with the addition of "c/o Data Protection EMEA" and the following e-mail address shall apply: privacy@olympus.com.

In this section you will find information about the purposes and legal bases of the processing operations on this website and about the respective data recipients.

We process your personal data when you visit our website in order to display this website to you. For this purpose, we process the following categories of data:

• IP address
• Type and version of the browser used
• User agent (type of terminal device, if applicable type of operating system)
• Referer page (website from which you reached our website via hyperlink)
• Date and time of access
• Language setting of the browser used

We also use so called content delivery networks as well as web fonts and embedded videos from third-party providers to deliver content on the website and process the above-mentioned categories of data for this purpose. Your IP address may therefore also be transferred to third countries outside the EEA when you visit the website.

When you visit the website, we also process the above-mentioned categories of data in order to create reach measurements and visitor statistics for the website, as well as to perform so-called "A/B tests". A/B tests simulate two different versions of a website. For this purpose, some users test version A and others version B. In this way, two or more variations of a landing page can be displayed and improvement possibilities for the website can be identified.

The legal basis for this processing is in each case our legitimate interest in the efficient operation of a representative, global corporate website and in its optimization and improvement, art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If you contact us via our contact form or by e-mail, the personal data transmitted with your e-mail and the data you entered in the contact form will be processed by us in order to process and respond to your inquiry.

For inquiries by e-mail, we process your e-mail address, the subject and content of the e-mail, as well as any file attachments.

For inquiries via the contact form, we process the following categories of data:

• Type of inquiry
• Message (free text)
• First name
• Last name
• Email address
• IP address
• Date and time of the inquiry

The legal basis for processing your data to handle an inquiry via e-mail or contact form is our legitimate interest in receiving and responding to incoming inquiries via common, electronic communication channels (art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). In this case processing will only take place if there are compelling reasons worthy of protection that outweigh your legitimate interests (art. 21 GDPR). If the contact is related to the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis is art. 6 (1) b GDPR.

If you register for the “job alert” feature, we process your personal data in order to offer you the requested service (regular dispatch of an e-mail newsletter with information about current job offers).

We process the following categories of data for this purpose:

• E-mail address
• Your password
• User language
• Desired position
• Desired working hours (full-time or part-time)
• Desired department
• Desired employment type
• Self-selected name for the above search settings

After setting up the job alert via our website, we will send you a confirmation e-mail containing a link to activate the newsletter ("double opt-in"). The legal basis for this processing is your consent, art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on "Unsubscribe" in the footer of an email, or by logging in to our website with the selected data and unsubscribing from the job subscription.

If you create an account on our website to apply for an advertised position, we process your personal data to enable the registration and application process in this way.

We process the following categories of data for this purpose:

• Salutation
• First name
• Last name
• E-mail address or login
• Password
• User language
• Application letter and resume
• Files uploaded by you, if applicable
• "How did you hear about us"
• Data release – It is possible to choose between "I agree that my data will be stored if my application is not successful and that I will be informed about future job offers" or "I would like my data to be deleted as soon as the current application process is completed".

The legal basis for this processing is the establishment of an employment relationship, Sec. 26 (1) German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), if you are applying for a job in Germany. Otherwise, the legal basis for the initiation of the employment contract is art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

We use the services of a third-party provider to process online applications and to send the job subscription. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in efficiently designing application processes and effectively selecting suitable applicants, art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

To create a personal profile for the "MyOlympus" service on our website, you must enter certain data in an input mask. The following categories of data are collected:

• Salutation
• First name
• Last name
• Nickname
• E-mail address
• Country name
• Password
• "I am not a robot" confirmation
• User agreement/ agreement to the terms of use (MyOlympus)

In the account settings you can also enter other optional profile information, namely:

• Street and house number

• Avatar
• Product registration (date of purchase and serial number of the device)
• Additional information about your favourite product and service-related interests can be clicked.

Since the registration is necessary for the performance of a contract (user agreement for MyOlympus) to which you are a party, the provision in art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. If you provide this information to us, we will use your data to manage your product registrations and link them to your account. For more information, please see the MyOlympus Terms of Use.

Please note that if your registration is successful, you can also log in to other platforms such as the MyOlympus community, our online store or the Test & Wow platform with the user account you have created. In doing so, further data may be requested from you when you log in for the first time.

You can delete your user account at any time. You can change your stored data at any time by changing your settings on the profile page. In addition, you can revoke the consent given during registration at any time. If the data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of precontractual measures, early deletion can only take place if the contractual or legal obligations permit such deletion.

We use a third-party provider to provide a consent management platform and cookie banner. This allows visitors to the website to give and revoke consent to individual cookie categories and to receive information about the cookies used on the website.

For this purpose, we process the data categories mentioned in section 3.1. Your IP address may also be transferred to third countries outside the EEA.

We use third-party services on our website to enable us to use so-called "re-marketing" and "conversion tracking" functions. These functions enable us to present website users on other websites with ads based on their interests and relating to our products and services. This is done by analysing the user's interaction on our website, e.g. the offers in which the user is interested, in order to be able to place targeted ads on other sites after the user has visited our website.

For this purpose, we process the data categories mentioned in section 3.1 as well as the following data categories:

• Visited (sub-) pages
• Clicked links
• Duration and type of interaction with the website
• Surfing behaviour when visiting the website

Your data may also be transferred to third-party providers in third countries outside the EEA. The legal basis for this processing is your consent, art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on "Cookie Settings" in the footer of the website.

Subject to your consent we use additional cookies to statistically analyse the use of the website and to offer personalized content and possibly advertising by creating pseudonymized user profiles. For this purpose, we also pass on information on website usage to service providers for advertising and analysis. Your data may also be transferred to service providers in third countries, e.g. the US. You give your consent to technically unnecessary cookies via our "Cookie Banner", which is displayed when you first visit the website and can be accessed at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of the website. The legal basis for the use of technically unnecessary cookies is your consent pursuant to art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on "Cookie settings" in the footer area of the website. This link will also provide you with more information on the categories of data processed by cookie, the recipients of the data, the purposes of the processing and third country transfers when using the respective cookies.

By changing the settings of your browser, you can disable or restrict the transfer of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically by changing the settings of your browser accordingly.
