Privacy Policy
We only process personal data (hereinafter referred to as ‘data’) to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered there.
According to Art. 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as ‘GDPR’), ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organising, structuring, storing, adapting or altering, retrieving, consulting, using, disclosing by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, aligning or combining, restricting, erasing or destroying.
With the following privacy policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we either alone or jointly with others decide on the purposes and means of processing. In addition, we inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimisation purposes and to increase the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data in turn on their own responsibility.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:
I. Information about us as the responsible party
II. Rights of users and data subjects
III. Information about data processing
I. Information about us as the responsible party
The responsible provider of this website in terms of data protection law is:
Stiftung Bob und Kathrin Gysin
Ausstellungsstrasse 24
CH-8005 Zürich
www.stiftung-gysin.ch
info@stiftung-gysin.ch
II. Rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right
to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the data being processed, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data (see also Art. 15 GDPR);
to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected or completed (see also Art. 16 GDPR);
to have data concerning them deleted immediately (see also Art. 17 GDPR) or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary in accordance with Art. 17(3) GDPR, to have the processing restricted in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;
to receive the data concerning them and provided by them and to transfer this data to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in violation of data protection regulations (cf. also Art. 77 GDPR).
In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any correction or deletion of data or restriction of processing that takes place on the basis of Articles 16, 17(1) and 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.
Likewise, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct marketing is permissible.
III. Information on data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, there are no legal retention obligations preventing the deletion of the data, and no other information on individual processing procedures is provided below.
Server data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or our webspace provider by your internet browser. These so-called server log files collect, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access, and the IP address of the Internet connection from which our website is used.
The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data about you.
This storage is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is necessary for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data will be excluded from deletion in whole or in part until an incident has been finally clarified.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as it enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the provision of a shopping basket function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for the purpose of contract initiation or contract processing.
If the processing does not serve the purpose of contract initiation or contract processing, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
b) Third-party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we collaborate for the purposes of advertising, analysis or the functionality of our website.
For details on this, in particular on the purposes and legal basis for the processing of such third-party cookies, please refer to the following information.
c) Removal option
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting your internet browser settings. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your email address and, optionally, your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website, as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send you the newsletter, describe its content in detail and refer you to this privacy policy. We use the data collected in this process exclusively for sending the newsletter – it will therefore not be passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. To do so, simply notify us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.
Contact requests / contact options
If you contact us via the contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your enquiry. The provision of this data is necessary for processing and responding to your enquiry – without it, we cannot respond to your enquiry or can only respond to it to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted once your enquiry has been conclusively answered and there are no legal retention obligations preventing deletion, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
Google Analytics
We occasionally use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that EU data protection requirements are also complied with when processing data in the USA.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function. This function allows Google to shorten the IP address within the EU or the EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide further services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it does not link your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides further information on data protection at
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners,
including information on how to prevent data usage.
Google also offers a so-called deactivation add-on and further information on this at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
This add-on can be installed with all common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that information about visits to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. You can also find out whether and which other web analytics services we use in this privacy policy.
Google Maps
We use Google Maps on our website to display our location and provide directions. This is a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that EU data protection requirements are also complied with when processing data in the USA.
In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when you visit our website.
If you access the Google Maps component integrated into our website, Google stores a cookie on your device via your internet browser. Your user settings and data are processed in order to display our location and create directions. We cannot rule out the possibility that Google uses servers in the USA for this purpose.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimising the functionality of our website.
The connection to Google established in this way enables Google to determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the directions are to be transmitted.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings in your Internet browser accordingly. Details can be found above under ‘Cookies’.
In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is subject to Google's Terms of Use https://policies.google.com/terms?gl=DE&hl=de and the Terms of Service for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
Furthermore, Google provides further information at
https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated
https://policies.google.com/privacy.
YouTube
We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as ‘YouTube’.
YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
guarantees that Google and its subsidiary YouTube comply with EU data protection regulations when processing data in the USA.
We use YouTube in conjunction with the ‘extended data protection mode’ function to display videos to you. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the ‘extended data protection mode’ function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.
Without this ‘extended data protection’, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you visit one of our web pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.
This connection is necessary in order to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least collect and process your IP address, the date and time, and the website you visited. In addition, a connection to Google's ‘DoubleClick’ advertising network is established.
If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or adjust the settings in your YouTube user account accordingly.
For the purpose of functionality and to analyse usage behaviour, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your device via your internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings in your internet browser. For more information, please see ‘Cookies’ above.
Further information about the collection and use of data, as well as your rights and protection options in this regard, is available in Google's privacy policy at
https://policies.google.com/privacy.
MailChimp - Newsletter
We offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our free newsletter via our website.
We use MailChimp, a service provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318, USA, hereinafter referred to as ‘The Rocket Science Group’, to send our newsletter.
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active
The Rocket Science Group guarantees that EU data protection requirements are also complied with when processing data in the USA. The Rocket Science Group also provides further data protection information at
http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, the data requested during the registration process, such as your email address and, optionally, your name and address, will be processed by The Rocket Science Group. Your IP address and the date and time of your registration will also be stored. As part of the further registration process, your consent to receive the newsletter will be obtained, the content will be described in detail and reference will be made to this privacy policy.
The newsletter subsequently sent via The Rocket Science Group also contains a so-called tracking pixel, also known as a web beacon. With the help of this tracking pixel, we can evaluate whether and when you have read our newsletter and whether you have followed any links contained in the newsletter. In addition to other technical data, such as the data of your computer system and your IP address, the data processed in this process is stored so that we can optimise our newsletter offering and respond to the wishes of our readers. The data is therefore used to improve the quality and attractiveness of our newsletter service.
The legal basis for sending the newsletter and the analysis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. To do so, simply notify us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.
Online job applications / publication of job advertisements
We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us via our website. In the case of these digital applications, your applicant and application data will be collected and processed electronically by us for the purpose of handling the application process.
The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 (1) GDPR.
If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we will store the data you provided in your application in your personnel file for the purposes of the usual organisational and administrative processes – naturally in compliance with further legal obligations.
The legal basis for this processing is also Section 26 (1) sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 (1) GDPR.
If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data provided to us two months after notification of the rejection. However, the data will not be deleted if legal provisions, e.g. due to the obligation to provide evidence under the AGG, require longer storage of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings.
In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR and Section 24 (1) No. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in the defence or enforcement of legal claims.
If you expressly consent to the longer storage of your data, e.g. for inclusion in an applicant or prospect database, the data will be further processed on the basis of your consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. However, you can of course revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR by notifying us with effect for the future.
