Piavita forwards to Mailchimp the data you provide to us when signing up for the newsletter. Please note that your data will generally be transmitted to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there.
MailChimp uses that information for mailing and statistical analysis of newsletter by order of Piavita. For analysis, the e-mails sent contain so-called “web-beacons” or “tracking pixels” (single-pixel image files), which are stored on our website. They let us know, for example, whether you opened a newsletter message and which links you clicked on. Technical information is recorded, too (e.g., time of opening, IP address, browser type and operating system). Such data are collected exclusively in pseudonymized format and not linked with your other personal data, so that it is impossible to determine your identity on that basis. Such data are used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The findings from those analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
The legal basis for the processing of the data with the consent of the user after the user has registered for the newsletter is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.If you object to the data analysis for statistical purposes, you have to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
To protect your data in the USA, Piavita and MailChimp have entered into a data-processing agreement based on the standard contract clauses of the European Commission in order to enable the transmission of your personal data to MailChimp. Interested parties can view that data-processing agreement at the following address: http://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/.
Moreover, MailChimp is certified under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, which require MailChimp to comply with the applicable data protection provisions. MailChimp’s privacy policy is posted at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

The extended data protection mode is used which, according to YouTube, does not begin storage of user information until playback of the video(s). Once the playback of an embedded YouTube video has been launched, YouTube uses cookies to collect information about the user’s behaviour. According to “YouTube”, such information is used to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive practices If you are logged into Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account if you click on a video. If you do not want your data to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you need to log out before clicking the button. Google stores and analyses your data in the form of user profiles (even in the case of users who are not logged in). Such analysis is performed, in particular, based on Google’s legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or need-based design of its website. You are entitled to object to the formation of this user profile, in which case you must exercise that right on YouTube.
Regardless of playback of the embedded videos, every time you open the website a connection is established with the Google network “DoubleClick”, which may trigger further data processing that is beyond our control.
Google LLC, which is based in the USA, is certified under the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, which ensures compliance with the data protection standards applicable in Switzerland and in the EU.

Google reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, Google reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place. Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please visit the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
Creation of pseudonymised usage profiles:
In order to provide you with personalised services and information on our website (on-site targeting), we use and analyse the data that we collect about you when you visit the website. For the corresponding data processing, what are known as cookies may be used where necessary (see section 2.1). The analysis of your user behaviour may be used to create what is known as a usage profile. The usage data is combined only with pseudonymous data, and never with data that has not been pseudonymised.
The creation of pseudonymised user profiles for advertising and analysis purposes is based on a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This applies to all data processing operations listed in this Section 3. The legitimate interest lies in direct marketing and analysis of the use of our website.
We pass your personal data on only if you have expressly consented to this, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is required in order to enforce our rights, in particular in order to enforce claims resulting from the relationship between you and Piavita.
We also pass your data on to third parties where this is required in conjunction with use of the website in order to provide you with the services requested or to analyse your user behaviour. If this is required for the purposes specified in the preceding sentence, your data may also be passed on to third parties abroad.

The said third-party companies are obliged to protect your data to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to the level of data protection in Switzerland or the European Union, we ensure by contractual means that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or the Economic European Area at all times.
5.2. Data transfer to the USA:
•For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or based in Switzerland that in the USA there are monitoring measures taken by the USA authorities that generally allow the storage of all personal data relating to all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland to the USA. This happens without differentiation, limitation or exception on the basis of the aim pursued and without an objective criteria that makes it possible to limit access to the data by USA authorities and its later use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that may justify the intervention associated with both access to this data and use thereof. We would also like to point out that there are no judicial remedies in place in the USA for affected persons from Switzerland that would make it possible to receive access to the data relating to them and to have this corrected or deleted, as well as no effective legal protection against general access rights by USA authorities. We refer the persons affected explicitly to this legal and factual situation so that they can make an appropriately informed decision on whether or not to consent to their data being used.
•For users residing in EU Member States, please note that, from the point of view of the European Union, the USA does not have sufficient data protection levels due, inter alia, to the issues mentioned in this section. To the extent that we have explained in this privacy policy that recipients of data (such as Google, Facebook and Twitter) are located in the USA, we will either based on a contract or by securing certification of these companies under the EU-USA Privacy Shield ensure that your data is protected at an appropriate level by our partners.

•To send our newsletter, we use e-mail marketing services of third parties (Mailchimp), as mentioned above in section 2.4.

•The use of these services allows us to analyse whether or not the e-mails containing our newsletter have been opened. In addition, the click behaviour of recipients of our newsletter can also be collected and analysed. We use this data for statistical purposes and in order to optimise the newsletter with regard to content and structure. This allows us to better align the information and offers in our newsletter to the individual interests of the recipient in question. The tracking pixel is deleted if you delete the newsletter.
•If you wish to prevent tracking pixels from being included in our newsletter, please set your e-mail software such that HTML is not displayed in messages.
