3. Targeting und Tracking Tools

By using such tools, we want to ensure a demand-oriented design and the continuous optimization of the website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record and evaluate the use of the website and for the purpose of optimizing our offer to you.

a) Google

We use various services of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google). We are not responsible for the data processing by Google itself and we have no influence on how Google processes your personal data.

However, your IP address is anonymized before it is transmitted to Google in the USA, so that it is not possible to assign it to you personally (IP masking). In addition, your IP address will never be merged with other Google data. Google is certified under the US-CH and the US-EU Privacy Shield Agreement, which ensures a level of data protection that is adequate for Swiss and European data protection requirements, respectively.

Further information on data processing by Google can be found here: policies.google.com; policies.google.com/privacy.

I) Google Analytics

For the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of the website, we use Google Analytics. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, to provide other services related to website and internet use, and for market research purposes. In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see under section 3) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

 

  • Browser type/version,

  • operating system used,

  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page),

  • Host name of the accessing end device (IP address),

  • Time of the server request

will be transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on. You can find more information at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

II) Google Maps

On the website, we may use Google plug-ins from Google Maps. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to comfortably use the map function. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button.

Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of the website. By using Google Maps on the website, information about the use of this website (incl. IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and also stored on this server. You can prevent Google Maps from running by disabling Javascript in your browser. Under these circumstances, you will not be able to use the functionalities of Google Maps, such as the map display.

You can find more detailed information at: https://www.google.com/intl/de_ch/streetview/policy/.

III) Google Web Fonts

For the uniform display of fonts, so-called web fonts are used, which are provided by Google. When you call up the website, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This gives Google knowledge that the website has been accessed via your IP address. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

You can find more detailed information about Google Web Fonts at: developers.google.com/fonts/faq.


IV) jQuery JavaScript Libraries/Libraries
jQuery is a free JavaScript library that provides functions for DOM navigation and manipulation. The use of the jQuery libraries allows us to provide you with a better presentation of our online offers. When you access the website, your browser loads the external JavaScript file from the ajax.googleapis.com server. The jQuery base library consists of a JavaScript file that contains all the basic DOM, event, effect and Ajax functions. This allows the website owner to provide certain features for better user experience.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. Through this, Google obtains knowledge that the website has been accessed via your IP address.

For more information about the embedded jQuery library, see Adobe's privacy policy, which you can access here: developers.google.com/speed/libraries/.

b) Facebook

Remarketing tags of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (Facebook) are integrated on the website. We are not responsible for the data processing by Facebook itself and we generally have no influence on how Facebook processes your personal data. Facebook is certified under the US-CH and US-EU Privacy Shield agreements, ensuring a level of data protection appropriate to Swiss and European data protection requirements.

You can find more information about data protection at Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

When you visit the website, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the remarketing tags. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited the website. This allows Facebook to associate your visit with your user account. We can use the information thus obtained for the display of Facebook Ads.

 

c) Social-Media-Plug-Ins

Plugins and other tools (e.g.: Facebook Pixel) are used on the website to recommend and share our articles on social networks (e.g. YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Vimeo).

When social media plugins are used, users' personal data is forwarded to the social network providers. However, data to the mentioned providers will only be transmitted if you are logged in with your profile on the corresponding platform. We have no influence on the processing by the respective operators of the social networks. In this regard, please refer to the respective privacy statements of the corresponding providers.

We only process your personal data if we have a specific reason to do so. We generally base the processing of your personal data on the following:

  • Your consent;

  • Our legitimate and overriding interest in the relevant processing;

  • Compliance with legal requirements;

  • If applicable, the implementation of (pre-)contractual measures (e.g. if you send us your application via website).

d) Use of SalesViewer®-Technology:

On this website, data is collected and stored for marketing, market research and optimization purposes using the SalesViewer® technology of SalesViewer® GmbH on the basis of legitimate interests of the website operator (Art. 6 para.1 lit.f DSGVO).

For this purpose, a javascript-based code is used to collect company-related data and the corresponding usage. The data collected using this technology is encrypted using a non-reversible one-way function (known as hashing). The data is immediately pseudonymized and is not used to personally identify the visitor to this website.

The data stored as part of Salesviewer will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future by clicking on this link https://www.salesviewer.com/opt-out to prevent the collection by SalesViewer® within this website in the future. In doing so, an opt-out cookie for this website will be placed on your device. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again.

We may share your personal data with service providers whose services we use (e.g. application operators (web server operation, hosting service providers). We ensure through the selection of service providers and through appropriate contractual agreements that data protection is also ensured by such service providers throughout the processing of your personal data.

The named recipients may also be located in countries that do not protect your personal data to the same extent as Switzerland or the EU/EEA countries (so-called third countries).

7. do we make automated individual decisions?
As a rule, we do not carry out automated individual case decisions. We will inform you separately should we use automated individual case decisions in individual cases. An "automated individual case decision" is a decision that is automated, i.e. without relevant human influence, and that has negative legal effects on you or other similarly negative effects.

  • To request information about your personal data processed by us;

  • to request the deletion of your personal data stored by us;

  • to request the correction of incorrect personal data stored by us and the restriction of the processing of your personal data;

  • to contact the competent data protection authority (in Switzerland the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, FDPIC) if you believe that your personal data is being processed by us unlawfully or against your will;

  • to object to data processing by us at any time.
