General Guidelines

In accordance with Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and federal legal regulations for data privacy (Data Protection Regulation, GDP), every person has the right to privacy protection, and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data with confidentiality and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as with this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the database to the greatest extent possible from external breaches, losses, misuse or falsification.

We would like to point out that security vulnerabilities in data communication on the internet can sometimes arise (e.g., with email communication). It is not possible to completely protect data from third-party access.

By using this website, you hereby consent to the collection, processing and use of your data in accordance with the following description. This website can be visited without registration. When you visit, data from your visit are stored on our server, including, for example, the name of the file you accessed, and dates and times, which are used for statistical purposes and are not directly identifiable to you. Personal data, in particular, name, address or email address, are collected voluntarily to the extent that this is possible. None of your data are transmitted to third parties without your consent.

 

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data include any details that refer to or can be traced to a specific person. A “data subject” is someone whose personal data have been processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storing, communicating, procuring, deletion, saving, changing, destroying and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Law. In all other respects, we process personal data – to whatever extent the EU GDPR is applicable – in accordance with the following legal principals in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 of the GDPR:

  • lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
  • lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject, as well as for the execution of applicable pre-contractual arrangements.
  • lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill legal obligations that #clearedtoland is subject to in accordance with applicable European Union law, or if necessary, in accordance with the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is either fully or partially applicable.
  • lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
  • lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of #clearedtoland or the interests of third parties, to the extent that the fundamental liberties, rights and interests of the data subject do not prevail. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our economic interest in being able to make our website available, information security, asserting our own legal claims and the observance of Swiss law.

We process personal data for whatever length of time is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. If long-term storage obligations arise from legal or other obligations that we may be subject to, we will limit the processing accordingly.

We protect personal data with appropriate physical, electronic and process-orientated safety precautions, including personal passwords, encryption and authentication technologies. 

We reserve the right to disclose personal data to public authorities or third parties insofar as there is a legal basis or a corresponding official/judicial summons, as well as to convey it to service providers within the context of this declaration.

Privacy policy for GoogleAnalytics

#clearedtoland has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects data on, among other things, from which website a person concerned came to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the costs and benefits of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

#clearedtoland uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for the web analysis via Google Analytics. Using this addition, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned if the access to our Internet pages is from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. When the cookie is set, Google is able to analyse the use of our website. Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission statements.

The cookie is used to store personal information such as the access time, the location from which the access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, it is possible for the person concerned to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. For this purpose, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the data subject’s information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is not installed by the person concerned or by another person within his/her sphere of influence, the browser add-on must be reinstalled by the person concerned in order to deactivate Google Analytics. Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
