We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site.
A detailed list of the cookies we use can be found at https://www.infoguard.ch/de/cookie-richtlinie.
A cookie does not necessarily mean that we can identify you.
The use of cookies serves to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimization and user-friendliness.
We process technically necessary cookies based on our overriding private interest. We only process cookies that are not technically necessary if you have given your consent voluntarily in accordance with Art. 13 Para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 Para. 1, S. 1 lit. a GDPR.
In the default setting of most internet browsers, cookies are accepted automatically.If you do not wish to store cookies from our websites on your device, you can configure your browser settings so that you receive a warning before certain cookies are stored.
Please note that the partial or complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our websites.
Cookies have different retention periods.
If they are cookies from third-party manufacturers, we have no influence on the retention period. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted after a session, and permanent cookies, which can also be stored for different lengths of time beyond the session.
We use IFrames from the following social media on our website:
This means that the functions of the above-mentioned social media are integrated on our website. If you have an account with one of these social media and are logged in, you can visit our profile on the social medium by clicking on the icon or you can link the content of our website to your profile.
By clicking on the IFrame, the visitor is redirected to the website of the provider. We have no influence on the processing of personal data on the social media platforms.
For more information on the data collected, please refer to the following data protection provisions:
An IFrame is used to structure our website and to place other web content on our website. It also allows our website visitors to share our content on social media.
Data processing in connection with IFrames is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 13 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1, p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data mentioned are not necessary within the framework of the website functionality.
Since the data is processed by the operators of the social media platform and we have no influence on this, it is not possible to determine the retention period.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed or to contractors other than those listed and their subcontractors.
Third parties are technology providers for the optimal operation of the websites and social media presences as well as for the provision of the services listed above.
No data is disclosed to third countries without an adequate level of data protection or only under the contractual obligation to comply with a sufficient level of data protection (e.g. EU standard clauses).
Personal data is only transferred to third countries if the data protection requirements of Art. 6 FADP or Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met.
A third country is defined as a country outside of Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA) in which the Swiss FADP or the European GDPR is not directly applicable. A third country is considered unsafe if, according to the FDPIC or the EU Commission, the country does not have an adequate level of data protection.
With the ECJ ruling of 16 July 2020 (C-311/18), the adequacy decision for the USA was declared invalid. The FDPIC has also revoked the USA's adequacy. The USA is therefore a so-called insecure third country.
When personal data is transferred to the USA, there is a risk that US authorities can gain access to the personal data. Swiss citizens have no effective legal protection against such access in the USA.
In this data protection information, we inform you when and how we transfer personal data to the USA or other unsecure third countries.
We take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data cannot be accessed or stolen by third parties without authorisation. In particular, through appropriate technical (e.g. firewall, password protection, SSL encryption, etc.) and organisational (e.g. restriction of authorised persons, training of authorised persons, etc.) measures, we ensure that only authorised persons have access to this data. Our data processing and security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including name, address, telephone number or email or IP address.
We use SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We retain personal data for as long as we consider necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws or as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
We delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer required and in any case after expiry of the legally prescribed maximum retention period of five or ten years. Data that is no longer necessary and for which there is no legal obligation to retain it will be destroyed once the purpose and justification no longer apply.
In detail, we retain your data for the following period:
As a potentially affected person, you can assert various claims against us in accordance with the applicable national and international law.
In order to fulfil these claims, we may process your personal data again.
Depending on the applicable law, data subjects may exercise the following rights:
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time or to adapt it to new processing methods. The current data protection declaration can be accessed at any time at https://www.infoguard.ch/en/data-privacy.
