The GROUP also processes your data and/or the data of your child, if the child is under 16 or 18 years of age, depending on the purpose of the processing, and you are the holder of parental responsibility. The GROUP collects data about your use of the website www.futuramedical.hr, i.e., your browsing behavior. Such data is necessary to ensure the proper and quality operation of the website and to provide you with high-quality services, as well as to comply with our obligations and our legitimate interest in providing and continuously improving the services we offer. The website www.futuramedical.hr uses so-called cookies. Details about cookies, how they are used, stored, and blocked are available on the website www.futuramedical.hr under the “Cookies” section, which can be accessed via the link: https://futuramedical.hr/en/cookies/ Furthermore, the GROUP may collect data about your geo-location.

The GROUP highlights that your devices have the option to disable or limit the sharing of your location data, and you are free to use these options. When collecting personal data, certain data may be stored by the Google Analytics platform, about which you are further informed through the cookie usage policy. For more information about the privacy policy of the Google Analytics platform, you can refer to the following link: Some of our services available through the online content allow you to directly contact the GROUP for inquiries and to schedule appointments for treatments within the services provided by the GROUP. In connection with these services, we may ask you for certain information to enable you to use such services and for the GROUP to process your request. In such cases, your personal data is necessary as the GROUP cannot fulfill your request without it, and a form will be displayed for you to confirm that you are aware of the privacy policy. For example, we may ask for your email address, name, surname, mobile number, and more. Some services allow you to communicate with other individuals. These communications will be transmitted through our systems and stored within them. In certain situations, the GROUP collects data about you using other internet platforms and sources, which may be combined with other data that you provide. For example, in order to offer you quality services tailored to your preferences and interests, the GROUP uses the Facebook Pixel tool, which tracks your activity on this website and transmits this data to Facebook. As a result, promotional messages and information tailored to your interests and search results may be sent to you via social media. This allows you to access and stay informed about services that you may not have been regularly aware of, enhancing your user experience and improving the quality of services provided by the GROUP. These tools can be embedded in web content, videos, and emails and may allow servers to read certain types of data from your device, seeing when you have viewed specific content or email messages, determining the time and date of your view, and identifying your devic’s IP address. The GROUP and certain third parties use trackers for various purposes, including service usage analysis and, together with cookies, providing content and ads tailored to your needs and interests. This website uses retargeting (remarketing) technology. Third parties may collect information about your visits to our website and interactions with it, including advertisements. Retargeting technologies analyze cookies and display ads based on your previous behavior when visiting our website. For example, if you have viewed some of our services on our website, retargeting allows reading cookies in your browser and placing ads for those services on social media platforms like Facebook, where you may see our services/ads when using the platform. Data processing collected by these cookies is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation). In the Cookie Settings, you will also find a list of all cookies within each category (necessary, statistical, marketing cookies, and cookies for targeted advertising). For more information about these tools, you can check the following links: In addition, the GROUP uses Zendesk Support and Zendesk Chat tools for live communication on the website, which may also contain your personal data. For more information, see here: Regarding the aforementioned, the GROUP does not perform special processing or storage of data provided through these tools, but they are used exclusively for communication. For example, your username created during a chat will not be associated with a specific person. However, if you use communication tools to make a special request, such as scheduling an appointment, our staff may request your contact details to process your request or inquiry made via these communication tools, such as chat. Similarly, if you use the web forms on the website www.futuramedical.hr to submit inquiries, requests, or demands on the wrong web pages, for example, if you use the “Ask the Doctor” form to request information or schedule an appointment, the GROUP may use the personal data you provide to identify you and contact you to act on your request or inquiry. All interactive options, particularly communication through private messages, chat, forums, or other methods of sending messages or communicating, are public in nature and do not have the status of confidential or verified information. Therefore, the GROUP may monitor and remove inappropriate content from user communications without their knowledge or special approval. Since the GROUP is not obliged to monitor or authorize the content of messages or information that may be found on the website www.futuramedical.hr, the GROUP is not responsible for actions taken by the user in any part of the website, nor for content that the user may post.

  • For other purposes with your consent
Your data will not be publicly disclosed. We take special care in determining who we share your data with, and we will not disclose it to third parties for their own independent marketing or business purposes without your consent. In case of data transfer, we will take all necessary measures to protect it, and where possible and reasonable, pseudonymize or otherwise make it difficult to associate the data with you. In exceptional cases, we will strive to anonymize your data completely when we assess that there is a risk to your rights. Disclosure of your data may occur to entities directly involved in the operations of the GROUP, such as FUTURA MEDICAL GROUP d.o.o. (OIB: 95346564252), reliable and secure business partners, whose services and products are integral to the services provided, especially healthcare services. An example of such business partners includes manufacturers of medical devices used in operations by the GROUP, where it is important to note that the GROUP works with top-tier, high-end manufacturers of medical and diagnostic devices. We emphasize that your safety is always our top priority. It is also possible that we will share your data with business partners who provide services on our behalf, such as companies that assist us with billing or send emails on our behalf. These entities are limited in their use of your data for purposes beyond providing services to us. If required by law or by a decision of an administrative or judicial authority, data may be disclosed to the competent authorities and other parties:
  • To comply with the law or to respond to mandatory legal procedures (such as a search warrant or other court order)
  • To verify or achieve compliance with the rules governing our services
  • To protect the rights, property, or safety of users, clients, and the GROUP itself
In some cases, the GROUP may transfer personal data to countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area, which may have different and potentially lower standards of data protection than those required in Croatia. In such cases, the GROUP will take appropriate protection measures (e.g., using EU standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries) to ensure adequate protection of your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. For transfers that exceed the legitimate interests of the GROUP and are not regular or necessary for ensuring the security and high quality of services provided by the GROUP, your consent will be requested. The GROUP continuously improves its system for collecting and processing personal data to ensure compliance with legal regulations and, of course, your security. To achieve this, we employ reasonable physical and technical measures to protect data and strive to follow the latest technical advancements and guidelines from data protection authorities, both at the national (Croatian) level and at the EU level. However, the GROUP must emphasize that due to the rapid development of technology, every internet user must be aware that no system is absolutely secure, and it is objectively impossible to foresee all potential risks that may arise on the internet. The GROUP, in particular, cannot influence the deficiencies of third-party services essential for the operation of this website. Unauthorized attacks on this website are always possible, but the GROUP takes reasonable steps to minimize any risks that might arise. In any case, the GROUP is committed to making every effort to ensure that its personal data protection system is as secure as possible.
