3.3. Transmission of personal data to third parties

As part of our business activities as well as the treatments and purposes described in this data protection statement, we will transmit personal data to third parties or disclose personal data to such third parties, in the extent permitted. These third parties who process this data on our behalf or for their own purposes or who may become aware of it in the course of their activity for us include in particular:

Third parties may be located in Switzerland or abroad. In principle, we do not transmit personal data abroad

(I) in countries of the European Union or the European economic area,
(ii) in countries that have an adequate level of data protection by the Federal data protection and transparency officer or by the European Commission, which may also be the case because of a self-certification of a Privacy shield (data protection shield), or
(iii) in countries for which we have foreseen appropriate safeguards, in particular by ensuring an adequate level of protection through the use of standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (which can be downloaded here https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/FR/TXT/?uri=CELEX3A32010D0087) or through binding corporate rules (Binding Corporates Rules) recognized. You have the possibility to request a copy of these contractual guarantees via our contact details. For reasons of secrecy protection, however, we reserve the right to redbe such copies or to make them available only in the form of extracts.

We may also base our transmission abroad on statutory exceptions, including in particular your consent, the execution of a contract to which you are a party, important public interest reasons, exercising or defending rights or protecting vital interests.

 

3.4. Retention time of personal data

We process personal data for the duration required to achieve the respective goals. Furthermore, we process or safeguard personal data in order to comply with legal obligations of preservation or documentation or if our legitimate commercial interests so require (especially for the exercise or defense of rights).

(iii) a right to restriction of treatment.
(iv) a right of objection to treatment.
(v) a right to the portability of personal data that you have made available.
(vi) a right to withdraw consent granted at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not undermine the lawfulness of the consent-based treatment prior to the withdrawal. In case of withdrawal, we may not be able to conclude a contract with you or to execute any existing contract. This may lead to early termination of the contract or financial consequences.
(VII) a right to lodge a claim with the competent supervisory authority. The data protection supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Transparency Officer (PFPDT; https://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

4.4. Cookies

We use “cookies” on our Web sites. Cookies are small text files that are kept on your computer or mobile device by your browser. They are used to collect certain information while browsing a website and to retrieve it as part of your current browsing session or during subsequent visits. Cookies allow you to recognize the browser you are using or temporarily save the data you have entered. We also use cookies to design our offer in a more user-friendly, effective and secure way.

We distinguish between cookies called “first party cookies”, which we install, and cookies called “third party cookies”, which are installed by third parties such as Web analytics services or social networks. Depending on their lifespan, we also distinguish between cookies called “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. Session cookies backup information that is used during your current browsing session. They are automatically deleted after you close your browser. Persistent cookies are only deleted after a set period of time or remain on your device until you delete them. Persistent cookies allow for example to recognize your browser on your next visit, to facilitate the filling of forms, to save your usage settings or to display advertisements and offers adapted to your needs. We then distinguish between necessary cookies and unnecessary cookies. The necessary cookies are indispensable to make available our websites and the functions they contain (e.g. online shops). This is where our legitimate interest in treatment within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 point f RGPD. Our first party cookies are for the most part necessary session cookies. Third party cookies are non-necessary persistent cookies.

When you visit our website, you will be informed of the use of cookies. You have the option to accept the use of all cookies or to admit only the necessary cookies, and thus to refuse the use of third party persistent cookies. Your consent is a legal basis for treatment within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 point a RGPD. Please note that third party cookies will only become active after you have accepted the use of all cookies. You can also set your browser so that the installation of cookies is prevented and thus permanently refuse the installation of cookies. You can then delete the already installed cookies in your browser. As a general rule, you can also configure your browser to be informed of the installation of cookies.

If you disable cookies in your browser or accept only the necessary cookies, this may limit the functionality of our websites. However, with some exceptions, the contents of our websites can in principle be consulted.

 

4.5. Analysis tools

We employ Web analytics services on our website and we can use the services of third parties in Switzerland and abroad. Web analytics services use cookies (see also Figure 4.6) to analyse the use of our websites, compile reports and statistics on the activities of websites and provide us with other services services associated with the use of our websites. For example, Web Analytics provides us with information about the sub-pages and contents of our website that are consulted or about how visitors navigate within a website. This allows us to optimize our website and adapt them to the needs of users or to enhance security. This is where our legitimate interest in treatment within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 point f RGPD.

Sur notre site internet, nous utilisons Google Analytics, un service d’analyse de sites internet de l’entreprise Google, Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (« Google »). Les informations générées par les cookies de ce fournisseur seront transmises à un serveur de Google aux USA, où elles seront conservées. Nous-mêmes n’avons pas accès à ces informations et ne recevons du fournisseur de services d’analyse web que des informations sans référence personnelle sur l’utilisation de notre site internet.

Nous utilisons une fonction d’anonymisation IP de Google. Avec cette fonction, l’adresse IP est raccourcie et ainsi anonymisée avant la sauvegarde et le traitement ultérieur par Google.

Comme décrit plus haut (voir chiffre 4.6), vous pouvez empêcher l’installation de cookies en les refusant ou en paramétrant votre navigateur de manière correspondante. Veuillez cependant noter que dans ce cas, vous ne pourrez peut-être pas utiliser l’entière fonctionnalité de notre site internet. Vous pouvez en outre empêcher que Google collecte et traite les informations générées par le cookie au sujet de votre utilisation de nos sites internet (y compris votre adresse IP), en téléchargeant et en installant le plug-in de navigateur disponible à l’adresse https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout..

Instead of browser plug-in or inside browsers on mobile devices, you can also opt out of using Google Analytics on this website by clicking on the following link: JavaScript code and description available on https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/?hl=fr#disable..

Un cookie de désactivation est alors installé pour empêcher l’enregistrement futur de vos informations lors de votre visite de ce site internet. Ce cookie de désactivation ne fonctionne que dans le navigateur avec lequel vous avez cliqué sur le lien ci-dessus et uniquement pour ce domaine. Si vous supprimez les cookies dans votre navigateur, vous devez de nouveau cliquer sur le lien ci-dessus afin qu’il fonctionne.

More information about Google’s terms of use and data protection statement can be found on https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or https://policies.google.com..

 

4.6. Enquêtes

Si vous concluez un contrat avec nous, si vous obtenez de nous des marchandises ou des prestations de service, si vous prenez contact avec nous ou (lorsque la loi le prévoit) si vous n’avez pas fait opposition en tant que client existant, nous utilisons également vos coordonnées pour des enquêtes, des études de marché et ou des sondages d’opinion. We can use the services of third parties in Switzerland or abroad. We use data collected through surveys, market research or opinion polls to analyse, improve and refine our offers and use, as well as for statistical purposes. This is where our legitimate interest in treatment within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 point f RGPD. If you have given us your prior consent or are involved in an investigation, this is a legal basis for treatment within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 point a RGPD.

 

4.7. Social media

We have included links to various social networks on our website (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn and Google +).

In this context, we have given up the integration of social plugins (like for example the “like” button), because these social plugins can establish a direct link with the social network server as soon as a page in which a social plug-in is is consulted.

Instead, we use links to social networks that are marked with the symbol/icon of each social network. If you click on such a link, you will be connected to the website of the social network concerned. There, it is the data protection provisions of the social network concerned that apply.

 

4.8. Vimeo, YouTube

On our website, we use for the integration of videos the services of the provider Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA (“Vimeo”). In this way we can easily generate value added in terms of quality and content for our websites. This is where our legitimate interest in treatment within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 point f RGPD.

When you visit one of our websites in which a video is integrated, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. To the extent that you authorize the use of third party cookies on our websites, cookies will be installed by the Vimeo servers and the information generated by the cookies will be transmitted to the USA, where they will be stored. If you are logged into Vimeo as a member, Vimeo may assign the information generated through cookies and the video viewed to your user account. You can prevent this by disconnecting from Vimeo before using our websites and deleting the corresponding Vimeo cookies.

More information about Vimeo’s data processing can be found in Vimeo’s Privacy Policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Sur notre site internet, nous utilisons pour l’intégration de vidéos les services du fournisseur YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (« YouTube »), une filiale de Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94053, USA (« Google »). Nous pouvons ainsi générer de manière simple de la valeur ajoutée en termes de qualité et de contenu pour nos sites internet. C’est là que réside notre intérêt légitime au traitement au sens de l’art. 6 par. 1 point f RGPD.

Nous utilisons le mode de protection des données étendu de YouTube qui, selon les indications du fournisseur, empêche que le comportement des utilisateurs soit enregistré à l’aide de cookies. Nous avons en outre désactivé le suivi à des fins publicitaires.

More information about data protection related to YouTube videos can be found in Google’s data protection statement: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

 

4.9. Google Maps

Nous avons intégré sur notre site internet le service de cartographie en ligne Google Maps de la société Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (« Google »). Nous pouvons ainsi générer de manière simple de la valeur ajoutée en termes de qualité et de contenu pour nos sites internet. C’est là que réside notre intérêt légitime au traitement au sens de l’art. 6 par. 1 point f RGPD.

Lorsqu’un site internet dans lequel les cartes de Google Maps sont intégrées est consulté, Google Maps installera un cookie. Ce cookie ne sera en règle générale pas supprimé par la fermeture du navigateur, mais n’expirera qu’après un certain laps de temps, à moins que vous ne le supprimiez manuellement au préalable.

Si vous n’êtes pas d’accord avec ce traitement de vos informations, vous avez la possibilité de désactiver le service de cartographie de Google. Vous devez pour cela désactiver la fonction JavaScript dans votre navigateur. Toutefois, cela peut également affecter d’autres fonctions de nos sites internet.

More information about Google Maps’ terms of use and data protection provisions can be found on http://www.google.fr/intl/fr/policies/terms/regional.html and https://www.google.com/intl/fr_fr/help/terms_maps.html..

 

4.10. Polices web

Some of our websites use Web fonts. Web fonts allow for uniform display of fonts on our websites without the corresponding fonts being installed on your device. This is where our legitimate interest in treatment within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 point f RGPD.

We use Web typefaces that are made available by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, mountain view, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) and WebType LLC, 373 Broadway, F15 New York, NY 10013, USA (“WebType”). When you visit our websites, your browser connects to the Google or WebType servers and loads the necessary Web fonts into its cache. In this context, Google or WebType may be aware of the fact that one of our websites has been consulted from your IP address.

If your browser does not support Web fonts, a standard font on your computer will be displayed instead.

More information about Google’s web fonts and data processing can be found on https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. Further information about the processing of data by WebType is available at https://www.webtype.com/info/privacy-policy/..

 

4.11. Profiling

cas described above, we use services and tools with which we analyse the use of our website. In this context, we process personal data in part in an automated manner. We do this for example to better communicate with you, to make available to you services or personalized information about our products or to optimize our Web sites. This is where our legitimate interest in treatment within the meaning of art. 6 para. 1 point f RGPD.

 

5. content and links to other Web sites

 

We strive to ensure that the information on our website is correct, but we do not assume any obligation to do so, nor do we guarantee that the contents are exhaustive, correct and current and/or that the websites or their contents remain accessible. Our website contains links to other Web sites. We assume no responsibility for the content of linked websites or for their data protection standards. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability to you or third parties for any loss or damage resulting from the use or inability to use or reliance on the content of our websites or Web sites and content that refers to our websites or to which it is sent from our websites by means of links or otherwise.
