Section 4 Use of Google Analytics

 

1. Google Analytics

 

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer which enable an analysis of how you use our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event of the activation of the IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities, and to provide other services relating to the use of the website and the Internet to the website operator.

 

(2) The IP address transmitted in the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data provided by Google.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp ()”. As a result, IP addresses are processed in shortened form, thereby excluding the possibility of personal identification. Insofar as the data collected about your person is assigned a personal reference, it will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

 

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and make regular improvements to the use of our website. With the statistics that we obtain, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as the user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has agreed to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is point (f) of Art. 6(1) s. 1 GDPR.

2. Embedding YouTube Videos

 

(1) We have embedded YouTube videos in our online offering which are stored at http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. All such videos have been embedded in the “enhanced data protection mode”, which means that no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. The data stated in paragraph 2 will only be transferred if you play the videos. We have no control over such transfer of data.

 

(2) When you visit the website, YouTube receives information that you have accessed the relevant sub-page of our website. The data stated under section 3 of this policy will also be transmitted. This will take place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account into which you are logged in or if no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube will store your data as a user profile and use it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the custom configuration of its website. Data (including the data of users who are not logged in) are evaluated in this way to provide custom advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your use of our website. You have the right to object to the creation of such user profiles; if you intend to exercise this right, please contact YouTube.

 

(3) Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by YouTube is provided in the privacy policy.

Section 6 Objection to or Withdrawal of Your Consent to the Processing of Your Data

 

(1) If you have provided us with a consent to the processing of your data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Such a withdrawal affects the legitimacy of the processing of your personal data following your declaration of such a withdrawal.

 

(2) Where we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests (which is the case, in particular, if the processing is not necessary to perform a contract with you, e.g. if the website is used informationally without additional functions), you may object to such processing. When exercising your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as it is done by us. In case of your justified objection, we will check the facts and either discontinue the data processing and/or adjust it or give you our compelling legitimate grounds based on which we will continue the processing.

 

(3) It goes without saying that you can object to the processing of your personal data for marketing and data analysis purposes at any time. You can inform us of your objection via the following contact details: Management Thomas Müller, Kögl & Partner GmbH, represented by: Ludwig Kögl, Franz-Zelger-Str. 4, 6023 Rothenburg, Switzerland, phone: +41 (0)41 280 02 22, e-mail: info@koegl-partner.com
