Data processing DSGVO compliant | Base-Net Informatik AG
1 Name and address of the data processor
The operator of the website (hereinafter referred to as the “operator”) and therefore the controller/data processor (hereinafter referred to as the “operator”) in terms of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) is:
The operator’s Data Protection Officer is:
Tel: +41 41 541 59 61
Email: walter.boreatti@peax.ch
Operator The operator of the website, in this case Base-Net Informatik AG
User User of the website or its services, in this case you.
Personal data Information which makes it possible for a person to be identified, i.e. information that can be traced back to a particular person. This includes the person's name, email address or telephone number. But data concerning preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites a person has visited is also regarded as personal data.
4 General notes on data protection
The operator only processes the personal data of its users to the extent to which this is necessary in order to provide a functional website and the operator’s contents and services. Personal data are exclusively processed on the basis of a legitimate legal basis, usually the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is effectively not possible and processing is permitted under statutory provisions.
5 Access data / server log files
The operator collects data each time its website is accessed ("server log files"). The collected access data includes:
Name of the web page, file(s) accessed
The user’s IP address and the requesting provider
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and Art. 13 (1) and (2) DPA.
The operator will only use the log data in order to operate and optimise the website, to ensure its security and to carry out statistical evaluations. However, the operator reserves the right to examine the protocol data at a later date if there are specific indications which give rise to a justified suspicion of unlawful use. The data are stored for this purpose.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they are collected, provided their continued storage is not justified by the overriding interests or statutory obligations of the controller. This is usually the case after 24 hours. Data may be stored beyond this period for the purpose of website optimisation and statistical evaluation. In this case, users’ IP addresses will be deleted or altered so that they can no longer be allocated to the accessing client.
The collection of data and the storage of data in log files are essential prerequisites for providing and operating the website. Consequently, the user has no right to object.
Any storage for other purposes is conducted in anonymised form, which means that no personal data are processed and accordingly no option to object arises.
The operator’s website uses cookies. Cookies are small files that make it possible to store information specific to the user's access device (PC, smartphone or similar) in order to enable the device to be recognised when the website is next accessed. On the one hand, they serve to make websites user friendly for their users (e.g. by storing login data). On the other hand, they serve to record statistical data concerning the use of the website. This data can then be analysed to improve the website.
The operator’s website uses the following cookies:
FluentLocale Serves to record the language set by the user 2 months Yes
Google Analytics _ga _gid See paragraph 8 2 years 24h No
PHPSESSID Contains an anonymous user identification to be able to assign several requests of a user to the same HTTP session. Until the browser is closed Yes
Facebook Pixel See paragraph 9 28 days No
When our website is accessed, users are informed of the use of cookies for analysis purposes and their consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained. This notification also contains a reference to this Privacy Policy.
Section 9 specifically provides information on the use of Google Analytics.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and Art. 13 (1) and (2) DPA.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is, provided the user’s consent has been obtained, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Art. 13 (1) in conjunction with Art. 4 (5) DPA.
Technically necessary cookies are used for the purpose of facilitating the use of websites for users. Some website functions cannot be offered without cookies. These require that the browser is recognised even after navigation to different pages.
Analysis cookies are used to improve the quality and contents of the website. Analysis cookies give the operator information about how the website is used and thus enables it to continuously improve its service.
Cookies are stored on the user’s access device and transmitted by the same to our website. Users can therefore influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option allowing the storage of cookies to be restricted or prevented entirely. However, please note that the use of the website, particularly user convenience, will be restricted if cookies are not enabled. Many online advertisement cookies of companies can be managed through the US website https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.
By clicking on this link, users can withdraw their consent to the use of cookies that are not technically required.
The operator’s website offers the option to subscribe to a free newsletter. This option can be chosen either by ticking the newsletter check box in the contact form or by completing the newsletter form at the bottom of the website. When either of these forms are sent, the data contained in the entry form will be transmitted to the operator. This includes:
In addition, the following data are collected when the newsletter is subscribed to:
Time of newsletter subscription
Set language on the website
During the subscription process, the users’ consent to data processing is obtained and reference is made to this Privacy Policy.
The legal basis for data processing following the user’s subscription to the newsletter is, provided the user’s consent has been obtained, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Art. 13 (1) in conjunction with Art. 4 (5) DPA.
The user’s email address is collected in order to send the newsletter. The user’s name is collected in order to personalise the newsletter.
The other data listed in Section 8.1 and 8.2 are collected on the one hand to improve the newsletter and analyse the time and manner in which the newsletter is read, and on the other to prevent the misuse of the service or the email address used.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they are collected, provided their continued storage is not justified by the overriding interests or statutory obligations of the controller. Subscribers’ email addresses and names are therefore only stored for as long as the newsletter subscription is active. The same applies to the other personal data collected in the course of the subscription process.
The data collected and stored in the context of success measurement are deleted within 14 months following their evaluation.
Users may cancel their subscription at any time. Every newsletter contains a link for this purpose.
This also enables users to revoke their consent to the storage of the personal data collected during the subscription process and success measurement.
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 make it possible to analyse your use of the website.
The following data are collected and stored using Google Analytics:
The number of pages accessed
Average duration of website visit
The information about the use of this website by the user generated by the cookie is generally sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, users’ IP addresses are shorted and therefore anonymised by the operator prior to transmission to Google. The transmitted data can therefore not be traced to the user. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. The operator has contractual agreements with Google which ensure that Google complies with the provisions of the applicable data protection legislation. The data that the user’s browser sends in the context of Google Analytics will not be amalgamated with other data from Google.
When our website is accessed, users are informed of the use of Google Analytics and their consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained. This notification also contains a reference to this Privacy Policy.
The legal basis for the processing of user data using Google Analytics is, provided the user’s consent has been obtained, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Art. 13 (1) in conjunction with Art. 4 (5) DPA.
Google will use this information on behalf of the operator in order to analyse users’ use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide further services related to website and internet use to the website operator. This enables the operator to continually improve the website and its user friendliness.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes, provided their continued storage is not justified by the overriding interests or statutory obligations of the controller. For this website, this is the case after 14 months.
As with any other cookies, the Google Analytics cookie is stored on the user’s access device. Users may therefore prevent the storage of the cookie by editing the settings in their browser software accordingly. Furthermore, users can prevent the data generated by the cookie concerning their use of the website (including their IP address) from being recorded and sent to Google and also the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Personal data such as age, gender, country of origin and city
Information about the device and operating system used
The information collected by this cookie on the use of this website by the user is generally transmitted to a Facebook server in the US, where it is stored. Facebook also collects the data in its own interests and, as the data controller, processes it further for Facebook advertising and analytical purposes. Such processing is carried out under the authority of Facebook in accordance with its data policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). On visiting our website, the user is informed about the use of Facebook Pixel and the user’s consent to the processing of personal data used.

On behalf of the operator, Facebook uses this information to analyse the use of the website by the user, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the effectiveness of advertising measures to the website operator. This enables the operator to constantly improve their website and advertising measures.
9.4 Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our analytical purposes, unless continued storage is justified by the prevailing interests or legal obligations of the controller.
9.5 Option to opt-out or opt-in

The user can also opt-out from the use of Facebook Pixel at any time and thus disable Facebook Pixel tracking on this website. To do so, the user can click on the link in Clause 6.4 to set an opt-out cookie.

This includes, in particular, the following information:
During the process of sending the contact form, your consent to data processing is obtained and reference is made to this Privacy Policy.
Alternatively, the operator can be contacted via the email address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data which are submitted with the email are stored.

The processing of the personal data from the entry form exclusively serves the purpose of handling the enquiry.

This shall be the case when it can be assumed or derived from the circumstances that the situation in question has been resolved and that no further queries are to be expected. The data stored for verification purposes is generally deleted after 14 months. In exceptional cases, a legal obligation or prevailing interest may justify a longer period of retention.
10.5 Objection and removal options
Users may revoke their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time. If users contact us by email or contact form, they may object to the storage of their personal data at any time by email. In this case, we will not be able to continue the conversation.
