Privacy Policy | Knowlance AG
This privacy policy of Knowlance AG, Artherstrasse 28A, 6300 Zug, Switzerland (hereinafter „we“ or „provider“), applies to the use of our website and the associated data processing. Further information about the provider can be found in our imprint.
As a Swiss company, we are subject to the applicable data protection regulations and laws of Switzerland. In order to offer our services lawfully in the European Union (EU), we comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation, hereinafter “GDPR”).
When operating our website, we generally act as data controller within the meaning of the GDPR and process personal data based on legal regulations or your voluntary consent to data collection.
When using this website, various data is collected automatically by our IT systems (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time of page visit) or provided by you on a voluntary basis (e.g. by sending a contact form). Personal data are all data with which you can be identified as a natural person.
The following privacy policy gives you an overview of how we guarantee data protection, what kind of data is collected for what purpose and what data is passed on to third parties for what purpose.
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. In cases in which you as a website user provides voluntary information, for example in the context of establishment of a contact, the settings of your browser and registering for our newsletter, further personal data is collected.
In the case of a simple visit to the website, we only store access data within so-called server log files. This is data provided by your browser that is not personally identifiable, namely:
We process the above-mentioned data for the purposes of ensuring a smooth connection of the website and its user-friendliness, for statistical evaluation and evaluation of system security and stability, for security reasons, e.g. to clarify cases of abuse, as well as for other administrative purposes. For this purpose, user access to our website is stored in the server log files, including the IP address. These log files are processed monthly for statistical purposes with an analysis software and then deleted. A traceability to a certain person is not possible with the data used by us.
For all matters and support requests, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via the contact form provided on the website. In addition to the actual message, we need your name and a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the request and can respond to it. Further informations can be provided voluntarily. The data collected will be used exclusively for processing and responding to your enquiry.
In this case, the data will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing processes already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
After the matter has been settled, your data will be deleted immediately, provided there are no legal retention obligations. The data will not be used for any other purpose or passed on to third parties.
It is possible to subscribe to our newsletter, in which you will be informed about current events and our services. For this purpose we need a valid e-mail address from you as well as information that enables us to check whether you are actually the owner of the given e-mail address or whether the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. This is done by registering to receive the newsletter and confirming your acceptance by clicking on the confirmation link in a subsequent confirmation e-mail (so-called “Double Opt-In”). By doing so, you agree to receive the electronic newsletter. Further data will not be collected. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time informally by e-mail and cancel your newsletter subscription.
(5) Disclosure of data
Your data will only be passed on to third parties with your express consent, to initiate and process contractual relationships with you, to fulfil legal obligations or to safeguard our legitimate interests in establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The plugin “google+1” (Google Plus) is integrated on our website. This is provided by Google Inc. (see § 4 on Google above). You can recognize this button by the sign “+1” on a white background.
When you visit our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers, which transfers the content of the plugin to your browser and integrates it into the website.

If you are logged into YouTube as a member, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user accounts on these platforms. When using these plugins, such as clicking/ launching a video or sending a comment, this information is assigned to your YouTube user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin.
