Personal data will also be collected when you contact us electronically or in other ways.

We specifically collect the following categories of personal data, depending on the purpose for which we process them:

• Website data (e.g., security and network data, IP address, device information, browser information, and usage of the website)

• If you contact us: your contact data (e.g., name, first name, address, phone number, email address) as well as secondary data for communication (e.g., details about the communication channel when sending emails)

3. COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA IN THE CONTEXT OF USING OUR WEBSITE

This section provides more detailed information about the collection and processing of personal data when you visit and use our website.

3.1 Collection of data and general information

With each visit to the website, a series of data and general information is collected. This data and general information is stored in the server's log files. Among other things, the types and versions of browsers used; the operating system used by the accessing system; the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (« referrer »); the web subpages that are accessed on our website by an accessing system; the date and time of access to the website; an Internet protocol address (IP address); the Internet service provider of the accessing system as well as other similar data and information that serve to defend against dangers in the event of attacks on our IT infrastructure may be collected.

This log data is used, without establishing a link to your person or other profiles, for statistical evaluations to secure and optimize the website, but also to anonymously record the number of visitors. Based on this information, we can analyze traffic and identify or correct potential errors on the website.

We reserve the right to check the log data subsequently if, based on concrete indications, there is a legitimate suspicion of illegal activity. IP addresses will be stored in the log files for a limited period if this is necessary for security purposes. We also log IP addresses when we have concrete suspicions of an offense related to the use of our website.

3.2 Web hosting

The hosting service we use serves to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, and database services, security services, and technical maintenance services that we use to operate the website. The hosting of this website is provided by Infomaniak Network AG with servers in Switzerland.

In this context, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contractual data, usage data, metadata, and communication data of visitors to this website based on our legitimate interests in providing our website efficiently and securely.

3.3 Tracking technologies

The website uses « cookies » These are small files that your browser automatically creates and are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, or other) when you visit our site.

The cookie contains information related to the terminal used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our offer more enjoyable for you. Session cookies are used to recognize that you have already visited certain pages of our website. These cookies are automatically deleted when you leave our site.

Additionally, we also use temporary cookies that are stored on your terminal for a specific period to optimize usability. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited our site and what inputs and settings you have made so that you do not have to re-enter them. On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize upon a new visit to our site that you have already visited our site. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period each time.

The data processed by the cookies are necessary for the mentioned purposes. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser to ensure that no cookies are stored on your computer or that a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, complete deactivation of cookies may prevent you from using all the features of our website.

3.4 Google Analytics

We reserve the right to use Google Analytics to obtain information about the use of our website and to improve its content.

These tools are provided by third-party providers. In general, the information collected for this purpose about the use of a website is transmitted to the server of the third-party provider through the use of cookies or similar technologies. Depending on the third-party provider, these servers may be located abroad (e.g., in the United States). For data transfers to the United States, Google has committed to signing and adhering to the standard contractual clauses of the EU.

Data transmission typically occurs by shortening the IP addresses, which prevents the identification of different terminals. Google generally shortens IP addresses within the member states of the European Union or in other states that are parties to the agreement on the European Economic Area, which prevents linking to your identity. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. Google may associate your IP address with other Google data.

3.5 Contact via contact form or email

When you contact us electronically or otherwise, we collect and process your personal data as well as the corresponding secondary data to process and respond to your request. We do not collect and process other personal data unless you consent to it (e.g., by providing us with additional personal data in response to a request).

3.6 Social Media Plugins

Our website may use what are known as social media plugins from third-party providers. The plugins are recognizable by the logo of the respective social network (e.g., Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.). Through these plugins, we can offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users. To the extent that we use social plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the third-party provider when you visit this website. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the relevant third-party provider and integrated into the page.

Data transmission for displaying the content occurs, if applicable, regardless of whether you have an account with the third-party provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the third-party provider, the data collected from us will also be directly attributed to your existing account with the third-party provider. If you activate the plugins, the information will also be published on the social network and displayed to your contacts. For information about the purpose and extent of the data collection, further processing, and use of data by the third-party providers, as well as your rights and options for settings in this regard to protect your privacy, please refer to the data protection information of the third-party providers. The third-party provider stores the data collected about you in the form of usage profiles and uses them for advertising purposes, market research, and/or designing its website according to needs. Such evaluation also takes place, in particular, for users who are not logged in, to present needs-based advertising and inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

If you wish to prevent third-party providers from attributing the data collected via our website to your personal profile on the respective social network, you must log out of the respective social network before visiting our website.

3.7 Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We have no influence on these websites, their content, their offers, or their availability, nor on the statements and provisions regarding data protection in force there. Therefore, we disclaim any responsibility for the use of data.

4. DATA TRANSFER

In principle, your personal data is only used for the purposes mentioned. If and to the extent that we necessarily involve third parties (e.g., to resolve an issue), they only receive personal data to the extent that the transfer is necessary for the corresponding service.

We only transmit your data to third parties if these third parties provide us with a service, if we are required to do so by law or authorities, or if we have a legitimate interest in the transmission of personal data. We will also transmit personal data to third parties if you have given your consent or if you have requested us to do so. In general, all personal data is transmitted in encrypted form, although, exceptionally, transmission may not be encrypted.

In particular, the following categories of recipients may receive personal data from us in the context of your use of the website:

• IT service providers (e.g., IT service providers, hosting providers)

• Third parties in the context of defending our interests (e.g., authorities, courts)

Insofar as we engage service providers who process personal data on our behalf as processors, we conclude contracts that oblige them to ensure data protection. In general, our service providers are located in Switzerland. Some personal data may also be transmitted within the EEA, to the United States (e.g., Google Analytics data) or, in exceptional cases, to other countries worldwide. If a transfer of data to other countries that do not have an adequate level of data protection proves necessary, it takes place based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU (e.g., in the case of Google) or other appropriate instruments.

5. DURATION OF STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA

We process and store your personal data as long as this is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or to achieve the purposes pursued by the processing, as well as in accordance with legal retention and documentation obligations. It is possible that personal data will be stored for the period during which rights can be asserted against us (i.e., in particular during the statutory limitation period) and to the extent that we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or if legitimate business interests require it (e.g., for proof and documentation purposes).

As soon as your personal data are no longer necessary for the aforementioned purposes, they are, in principle and as far as possible, deleted or rendered anonymous. Shorter retention periods of twelve months or less may apply to operational data (e.g., system logs).

6. DATA SECURITY

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities, but we draw your attention to the fact that the transmission of data over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A flawless protection of data against access by third parties is not guaranteed.

To ensure the security of your data, we take technical and organizational security measures that we continuously adapt to the state of the art. The servers we use are regularly and carefully secured.

7. MODIFICATION OF THE PRIVACY POLICY

We expressly reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. The current version published on our website is authoritative.
