Version of August 31, 2023

 

In this privacy policy, the Foundation Urgestein (hereinafter "we" or "us") explains how personal data is collected and processed.

 

This is not a conclusive description; other privacy policies or general terms and conditions, participation conditions, and similar documents may regulate specific issues.

 

This privacy policy is based on the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the Swiss Data Protection Act ("DPA"). However, whether and to what extent these laws apply depends on the individual case.

General / Introduction

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

 

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect databases from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification as much as possible.

 

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

 

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or names of accessed files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly related to your person. Personal data, such as name, address, or e-mail addresses, are collected as far as possible on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

 

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. An affected person is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, especially the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

 

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and insofar as the EU GDPR applies, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:

 

  • Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

  • Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

  • Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under EU law or under the law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.

  • Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

  • Processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, provided the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject do not override them. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

 

With SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. 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.

 

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

Services from Third Parties

This website may use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.

 

These services from the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, which means that data is transmitted to Google in the USA. However, we assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.

 

Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.
