Cookies

The website partially uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They are used to make our offerings more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, block cookies for specific cases or entirely, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or providing certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to provide technically error-free and optimized services. Other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

SSL-Encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser address changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

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

This is based on a legitimate interest (optimizing the online offering and the associated user experience) in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer that allow us to analyze your use of the website.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 is used on www.seehuus.ch, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies (see above). The information generated about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

If IP anonymization is activated, however, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymization is active on www.seehuus.ch. On our behalf, Google uses this information to evaluate your website usage, compile aggregated reports on website activity, and provide us with related services. For more information on how Google uses cookies and what information is collected, please visit: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=en-US or https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

You can disable Google Analytics at any time by installing a simple browser add-on, available here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

By default, in accordance with Art. 5(1)(e) GDPR, all data at the user and event level linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g., User ID), and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies) is deleted from Google Analytics 26 months after the last activity of the respective user.

Collection of access data and log files

Based on our legitimate interests (ensuring the proper operation of the website) in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, we collect data on accesses to the server hosting this website (so-called server log files).

These log files store information such as the name of the requested website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, a message about successful retrieval, browser type (including version), the user’s operating system, referrer URL (previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider. Log file information is collected for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraudulent activities) and is stored as long as it is reasonable or necessary for evidentiary purposes.

When using this form (as well as any other forms), personal information such as name, address, email address, and the corresponding messages are collected and stored.

In this context, we collect personal data from you as follows: information about your visits to our website, such as the amount of data transferred, the location from which you access data from our website, and other connection data and resources you access. This is usually done through the use of log files and cookies. Further information on log files and cookies can be found below.

In general, your personal data is stored for a period of 12 months. If we collect your IP address, it is only stored for the duration of your use of the website and is then immediately deleted or anonymized by shortening.

To ensure that our website is presented to you as effectively and engagingly as possible;

In processing data, we adhere to the principles of lawfulness, proportionality, purpose limitation, transparency – in particular, fulfilling the obligation to provide information – and data security.

Information about your computer, cookies

Each time you access our site, we collect the following information about your computer: your computer’s IP address, your browser request, and the time of that request. In addition, the status and amount of data transferred during this request are recorded. We also collect product and version information about the browser and operating system you are using. Furthermore, we record from which website you accessed our site. Your IP address is only stored for the duration of your website visit and is then immediately deleted or anonymized by shortening. We use this data for the operation of our website, in particular to identify and fix website errors, monitor website usage, and make adjustments or improvements.

Cookies help make your visit to our website easier, more pleasant, and more meaningful in many ways. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically stores on your computer’s hard drive when you visit our website.

We use cookies, for example, to temporarily store your selected services and inputs when filling out a form on the website so that you do not have to repeat your input when navigating to another page. Cookies may also be used to identify you as a registered user after registration on the website, without requiring you to log in again when accessing another page.

If you want to accept only our cookies but not those of our service providers and partners, you can choose the “Block third-party cookies” setting in your browser.

Data security

All information you transmit to us is stored on servers within Switzerland/the European Union. Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure, so we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted to our website via the Internet. However, we protect our website and other systems through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, alteration, or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. In particular, your personal data is transmitted to us in encrypted form. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) [or TLS (Transport Layer Security)] encryption system for this purpose.

No sharing of your personal data

We do not share your personal data with third parties unless you have consented to the data transfer, or we are authorized or obliged to do so by law and/or by official or judicial orders. This may include providing information for purposes such as law enforcement, threat prevention, or the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with effect for the future. The current version is always available on the website. Please visit the website regularly to stay informed about the applicable privacy policy.

In particular, you can request information about the personal data itself, the purpose of processing, the storage period or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you, any automated individual decision-making, and, if applicable, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom personal data is disclosed.

You also have the right to withdraw any consent you may have given for the use of your personal data at any time.
