3.1 Data collected automatically

When you visit our website, data is sent automatically from your browser to the servers of our website. This data is collected automatically and comprises in particular:

• IP address
• date of access
• time of access
• duration of access
• country from which access is made
• browser type
• referrer URL

We also use cookies and comparable technologies on our website, by means of which your browser or your device can be identified. A cookie is a small file that is sent to your computer or stored automatically on your computer or mobile device by the web browser you use when you visit our website.

In addition to cookies that are used only during a session and are deleted after your visit to the website (“session cookies”), cookies can also be used to store user settings and other information for a certain period (“permanent cookies”). You can set your browser to reject cookies, to store them for one session only, or to delete them early in some other way. Most browsers are preset to accept cookies. If you block cookies, certain functions may no longer work.

Further information can be found under the individual processing activities.

3.2 Data you send us

We collect and process the data you send us voluntarily when you contact us, for example by means of an online form, through our contact email address or by telephone.

In connection with a client or supplier relationship, we process only the data that is necessary to perform the contract.

If you apply to us for a position, we process the data you send us as part of a job application or a speculative application (CV, covering letter, etc.).

If you provide us with personal data relating to other people, you must ensure that you are entitled to do so under the applicable data protection laws.

4. Purposes of processing

4.1 Data collected automatically

We process the data collected automatically for the following purposes:

• operation of the website and the web shop
• security measures.

4.2 Data you send us

We process the data you send us for the following purposes:

• responding to enquiries
• communicating with you
• carrying out pre-contractual measures taken at your request, and also where you are already our client
• providing our services
• complying with statutory or regulatory requirements
• asserting legal claims and defending ourselves in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings
• filling an advertised position or reviewing a speculative application

5. Disclosure of data to third parties

For the purposes set out in section 4 we also transfer your data to service providers such as IT and hosting providers, tax advisers, freelancers in the translation field, or the providers of the tools named below.

We also transfer data to the authorities where we are under a legal obligation to do so.

6. Transfer of data abroad

Where data is transferred to third parties, it is possible that your data will be processed outside Switzerland. If statutory data protection in the recipient country concerned does not correspond to the level of data protection in Switzerland, we ensure by appropriate measures that a transfer is permitted – for example by concluding the standard contractual clauses of the European Union – or that another statutory ground applies, for example because we are performing a contractual obligation for you or because you have given us your consent.

7. Duration of processing

As a rule, data is deleted as soon as the purpose has been fulfilled and no statutory retention obligations remain.

8. Data security

We have taken technical and organisational measures, which are reviewed regularly and adapted to technical developments, to protect your data against loss, access, misuse or alteration.

Owing to the structure of the internet, however, it can happen that data is unlawfully disclosed to third parties when communicated over the internet. This lies outside our area of responsibility and, from a technical point of view, we have no influence over it. We therefore recommend that you protect the data you provide against misuse by appropriate means. In particular, use strong passwords and do not pass them on to third parties.

9. Your rights

As a data subject you have the following rights in connection with the processing of your data that is relevant under data protection law:

• the right to information about which data we store about you and how we process it
• the right to have your data corrected
• the right to have your data deleted or its processing restricted
• the right to object to processing
• the right to data portability, that is, to request the release of certain data in a common format or its transfer to another controller.

The contact details of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner can be found here: edoeb.admin.ch.

Please note that these rights may be restricted in specific cases.

If you have questions about data protection, please send an email to info@slangs.net.
