We would like to point out if there are other controllers for the processing of personal data in individual cases.

LEGAL BASIS

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, DPA) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DPO).

We process - if and insofar as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable - personal data in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of member states in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data in order to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests are, in particular, our interest in being able to carry out our activities and operations in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner and to communicate about them, to ensure information security, to protect against misuse, to enforce our own legal claims and to comply with Swiss law.

NATURE, SCOPE AND PURPOSE

We collect personal data that we receive when you contact us or enter into a contractual relationship with us. This involves the following data:

  • First name, surname
  • Institution /Company
  • address
  • E-mail address
  • Telephone number
  • and other personal data provided by you

We may also collect personal data from visitors while they are using the website:

  • Browser and device data,
  • Content data,
  • Meta or marginal data and usage data,
  • Location data,
  • Useful life

 

We process the personal data that is required,

  • to be able to identify you as our customer or contractual partner,
  • to conclude a contract with you,
  • for correspondence with you,
  • for invoicing,
  • to send you our newsletter if you have registered for it,
  • for the secure and user-friendly provision of our website,
  • in order to be able to carry out our activities and operations in a sustainable, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner.

We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose(s) or required by law. Personal data that no longer needs to be processed is anonymised or deleted.

We may have personal data processed by third parties, e.g. IT and telecommunications providers and our accounting department. We may process personal data jointly with third parties or transfer it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialised providers whose services we use. We also guarantee data protection for such third parties. External service providers (processors) are carefully selected and commissioned by us, they are bound by instructions and are regularly monitored.

We only process personal data with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permitted for other legal reasons. Processing without consent may be permitted, for example, for the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre-contractual measures in order to protect our overriding legitimate interests, because the processing is evident from the circumstances or after prior information.

In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject voluntarily provides to us when contacting us - for example by post, email, instant messaging, contact form, social media or telephone - or when registering for a user account. We may store such information in an address book, in a customer relationship management system (CRM system) or with comparable tools, for example. If we receive data about other persons, the transmitting persons are obliged to guarantee data protection for these persons and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, legitimately obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect in the course of our activities and operations, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted by law.

NEWSLETTER

If you register for our newsletter, we will add you to our newsletter mailing list until you cancel your subscription.

The legal basis for sending you a newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Each newsletter contains a note on how you can unsubscribe from the newsletter.

DURATION OF THE STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA

Your data will be stored by us after collection for as long as this is necessary.

  • is required in compliance with the statutory retention periods,
  • is necessary for the fulfilment of the above-mentioned purposes,
  • is necessary due to legitimate interests (archive, documentation, liability issues, warranty, guarantee).

PERSONAL DATA ABROAD

We generally process personal data in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we may also export or transfer personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process it or have it processed there.

We may export personal data to all countries and territories on earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that the law there guarantees adequate data protection in accordance with the decision of the Swiss Federal Council and - if and insofar as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable - in accordance with the decision of the European Commission.

We may transfer personal data to countries whose laws do not guarantee adequate data protection, provided that data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable guarantees. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the special requirements under data protection law are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract. We will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees upon request or provide a copy of any guarantees.

RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

Data protection claims (Art. 25, 28, 32 FADP / Art. 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 77 GDPR)

We grant data subjects all rights in accordance with the applicable data protection law. Data subjects have the following rights in particular:

Information: Data subjects can request information as to whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data is involved. Data subjects also receive the information required to assert their data protection claims and ensure transparency. This includes the processed personal data as such, but also information on the purpose of processing, the duration of storage, any disclosure or export of data to other countries and the origin of the personal data.

Correction, completion and restriction: Data subjects can have incorrect personal data corrected, incomplete data completed and the processing of their data restricted.

Erasure and objection: Data subjects can have their personal data erased and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future or withdraw any consent previously given.

Data disclosure and data transfer: Data subjects may request the disclosure of personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or the transfer of their data to another controller.

You can assert your rights at any time by contacting us at the following address: info@sam-basel.org

We may defer, restrict or refuse to exercise the rights of data subjects to the extent permitted by law.

We may inform data subjects of any requirements that must be met in order to exercise their rights under data protection law. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part with reference to business secrets or the protection of other persons. For example, we may also refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part with reference to statutory retention obligations.

We are obliged to take appropriate measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.

Right to lodge a complaint

Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims by legal means or to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

The data protection supervisory authority for private controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

Data subjects have the right - if and insofar as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable - to lodge a complaint with a competent European data protection supervisory authority.

DATA SECURITY

When processing data, we generally apply appropriate and suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. . Our website is accessed using transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated to HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.

FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE USE OF THE WEBSITE

Cookies

We also refer here to our "Cookie Declaration".

We may use cookies. Cookies - our own cookies (first-party cookies) as well as cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) - are data that are stored in the browser. Such stored data need not be limited to traditional cookies in text form.

Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. In particular, cookies make it possible to recognise a browser the next time it visits our website and thus, for example, to measure the reach of our website. Permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.

Cookies can be fully or partially deactivated and deleted at any time in the browser settings. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We actively request your express consent to the use of cookies - at least if and to the extent necessary.

For cookies that are used to measure success and reach or for advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is possible for numerous services via the AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAd-Choices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).

Server log files

We may collect the following information for each access to our website, provided that this information is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: Date and time including time zone, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual sub-page of our website accessed including amount of data transferred, last website accessed in the same browser window (referrer).

We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is required in order to provide our website in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner and to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data - also by third parties or with the help of third parties.

Tracking pixel

We may use tracking pixels on our website. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels - including those from third parties whose services we use - are small, usually invisible images that are automatically retrieved when you visit our website. Tracking pixels can be used to collect the same information as server log files.

Comments

We enable you to publish comments on our website. In this context, we process in particular the information that a commenting person transmits to us themselves, but also the Internet Protocol (IP) address used as well as the date and time. This information is required to enable the publication of comments and to ensure protection against misuse, which is in our overriding legitimate interest.

Notifications and messages

We send notifications and messages by e-mail and via other communication channels such as instant messaging or SMS.

Success and reach measurement

Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message has been opened and which web links have been clicked on. Such web links and tracking pixels can also record the use of notifications and messages on a personalised basis. We require this statistical recording of usage for measuring success and reach in order to be able to send notifications and messages in an effective, user-friendly, permanent, secure and reliable manner based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients.

Consent and objection

You must always expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and your other contact addresses, unless such use is permitted for other legal reasons. Wherever possible, we use the "double opt-in" procedure to obtain consent, i.e. you will receive an e-mail with a web link that you must click on to confirm, so that no misuse by unauthorised third parties can occur. We may log such consents, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address and the date and time, for reasons of proof and security.

You can object to receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can also object to the statistical recording of usage for measuring success and reach. Necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and operations remain reserved.

In connection with such platforms, personal data may also be processed outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). The General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and terms of use as well as data protection declarations and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms also apply in each case.

SUCCESS AND REACH MEASUREMENT

We try to determine how our online offering is used. In this context, we can, for example, measure the success and reach of our activities and operations as well as the effect of third-party links to our website. We can also, for example, test and compare how different parts or versions of our online offering are used ("A/B test" method). Based on the results of the success and reach measurement, we can in particular correct errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements to our online offering.

In most cases, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of individual users are stored in order to measure success and reach. In this case, IP addresses are generally shortened ("IP masking") in order to comply with the principle of data minimisation through the corresponding pseudonymisation.

Cookies may be used to measure success and reach and user profiles may be created. Any user profiles created include, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the - at least approximate - location. In principle, any user profiles are created exclusively in pseudonymised form and are not used to identify individual users.
