Personal data is collected and processed strictly in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations and, as a matter of principle, only with your express consent.

1. 6 Processing of personal data

6.1 Terms

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, collection, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

The European Economic Area (EEA) comprises the European Union (EU) and the Principality of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) refers to the processing of personal data as the processing of personal data.

6.2 Legal basis

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law,

in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) and the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA).

We process personal data – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

is applicable – in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:

• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data for the fulfilment

of a contract with the data subject as well as for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights

and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests are, in particular, our interest in being able to provide our offer permanently, in a user-friendly, secure

and reliable manner, as well as to be able to advertise for it as required, information security as well as protection against misuse and unauthorised use, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DO for the necessary processing of personal data

to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of Member States in the European Economic Area (EEA).

• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a task that is in the public interest.
• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
• Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

6.3 Nature, scope and purpose

We process the personal data that is required to provide our services in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such personal data can fall into the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or marginal data and usage data, location data, sales, contract and payment data.

We process personal data for the period of time required for the relevant purpose(s) or as required by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer required is anonymised or deleted. Persons whose data we process generally have the right to have their data deleted.

As a matter of principle, we only process personal data with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permitted for other legal reasons, for example

to fulfil a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre-contractual measures, to protect our overriding legitimate interests, because the processing is evident from the circumstances or after prior information.

In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject provides to us voluntarily and of his or her own accord when contacting us – for example, by letter, email, contact form, social media or telephone – or when registering for a user account.

We may store such information, for example, in an address book, in a customer relationship management system (CRM system) or with comparable tools. If you transmit data about other persons to us, you are obliged to guarantee data protection vis-à-vis such persons and to ensure the accuracy of such personal data.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect when providing our services, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.

6.4 Processing of personal data by third parties, also abroad

We may have personal data processed by commissioned third parties or process it jointly with third parties and with the help of third parties or transmit it to third parties. Such third parties are in particular providers whose services we use. We also ensure appropriate data protection for such third parties.

Such third parties are generally located in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, such third parties may also be located in other states and territories on

earth as well as elsewhere in the universe, provided that their data protection law ensures adequate data protection in the opinion of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) and – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – in the opinion of the European Commission, or if adequate data protection is ensured for other reasons, such as through a corresponding contractual agreement, in particular on the basis of standard contractual clauses, or through a corresponding certification. Exceptionally, such a third party may be located in a country without adequate data protection, provided that the requirements under data protection law, such as the explicit consent of the data subject, are met.

1. Rights of data subjects

Data subjects whose personal data we process have the rights under Swiss data protection law. These include the right to information as well as the right to correction, deletion or blocking of the personal data processed.

Data subjects whose personal data we process may – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies – request confirmation free of charge as to whether we are processing their personal data and, if so, request information about the processing of their personal data, have the processing of their personal data restricted, exercise their right to data portability and have their personal data corrected, deleted (“right to be forgotten”), blocked or completed.

Data subjects whose personal data we process may – if and insofar as the GDPR is applicable – revoke consent given at any time with effect for the future and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.

Data subjects whose personal data we process have a right of appeal to a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

1. Data security

We take appropriate and suitable technical and organisational measures to ensure data protection and data security in particular. However, despite such measures, the processing of personal data on the Internet can always have security gaps. We can therefore not guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our online offer takes place via transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.

Access to our online offer is subject – as is basically every use of the Internet – to mass surveillance without any reason or suspicion, as well as other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the European Union (EU), the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police agencies and other security authorities.

9 Disclosure of personal data

We treat your personal data as confidential and only pass it on if you have expressly consented to this, if we are legally obliged or entitled to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship. Furthermore, we pass on your personal data to third parties insofar as this is necessary or expedient in the context of the use of the website or for the possible provision of the services requested by you.

We disclose your personal data to the following categories of recipients:

• Business partners
• Service providers
• Service providers
• Authorities as far as this is required or necessary

In doing so, we naturally comply with the legal regulations on the transfer of personal data to third parties. If we involve third parties to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions as well as corresponding technical and organisational measures to ensure the protection of your personal data in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.

If the level of data protection in a country where the data is processed does not comply with the applicable data protection regulations, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data is equivalent to that in Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA) at all times.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if any statutory storage period expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

12 Legal bases of the processing

No data will be processed without a legal basis. Serving as such:

• where applicable, vital interests

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

1. g) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

To the extent permitted by law, Faulhaber Marketing Services may therefore also refuse your data protection-related requests or only comply with them to a limited extent.

For questions regarding the data protection practised by Faulhaber Marketing Services and for information regarding the rights of the data subjects as well as for the assertion thereof, the data subject may at any time contact Faulhaber Marketing Services using the contact details provided at the beginning of this data protection declaration.

This means advertising that recommends services that might actually interest you. Our aim is to make our advertising more useful and interesting for you. Therefore, the evaluation and analysis of the pseudonymised data collected from you helps us to ensure that we do not send you advertising indiscriminately, but rather advertising, such as newsletters and service recommendations, that actually corresponds to your areas of interest. In this respect, we also compare, for example, which of our advertising emails you open in order to avoid sending unnecessary emails to you.

If you do not wish to receive personalised advertising, you can object to this at any time. Please send your objection to info@faulhaber-marketing.ch.

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored permanently or temporarily when you visit this website. The purpose of the cookies is in particular to analyse the use of this website for statistical evaluation as well as for continuous improvements.

You can deactivate cookies in full or in part at any time in your browser settings. If cookies are deactivated, you may no longer be able to use all the functions of this website.

15.1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your data carrier and save certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser.

Basically, a distinction is made between 2 different types of cookies, so-called session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and temporary/permanent cookies, which are stored on your data carrier for a longer period or indefinitely. This storage helps us to design our websites and our offers for you accordingly and makes it easier for you to use them, for example by storing certain entries you make in such a way that you do not have to keep repeating them.

15.2 Which cookies does Faulhaber Marketing Services use ?

Most of the cookies we use are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session (end of session) (therefore these are also called session cookies). In addition, we also use cookies that remain on your hard drive. During a further visit, it is then automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which inputs and settings you prefer.

These temporary or permanent cookies (lifetime 1 month to 10 years) are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the specified time. These cookies in particular serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Thanks to these files, it is possible, for example, for you to receive information on the site that is specifically tailored to your interests.

The sole purpose of these cookies is to adapt our offer to your customer wishes as best as possible and to make surfing with us as comfortable as possible for you.

15.3 What data is stored in the cookies?

Only pseudonymous data is stored in the cookies used by Faulhaber Marketing Services. When the cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number and your personal data is not assigned to this identification number. Your name, IP address or similar data that would enable the cookie to be assigned to you are not inserted into the cookie. Based on the cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymised information, for example, about which pages of our website were visited, which services, articles or cases were viewed, etc.

15.4 What is on-site targeting?

On the Faulhaber Marketing Services website, data is collected on the basis of cookie technology to optimise our advertising and the entire online offer. This data is not used to identify you personally, but is used solely for a pseudonymous evaluation of the use of the homepage. At no time will your data be merged with personal data stored by us.

This technology allows us to present you with advertisements and/or special offers and services whose content is based on information obtained in connection with clickstream analysis (for example, advertisements targeted to the fact that content on topics such as digital marketing or media relations has been viewed exclusively in the last few days).

Our aim here is to make our online offer as attractive as possible for you and to present you with advertising that corresponds to your areas of interest.

15.5 Are there also cookies from third party providers? (so-called third party cookies)?

Faulhaber Marketing Services makes use of several advertising partners who assist us in making the internet offer and our website more interesting for you. Therefore, cookies from partner companies are also stored on your hard drive when you visit the website. These are temporary/permanent cookies that automatically delete themselves after the specified time. These temporary or permanent cookies (life span 14 days to 10 years) are stored on your hard drive and delete themselves after the specified time.

The cookies of our partner companies also only contain pseudonymous, usually even anonymous data. This is, for example, data about which products you have viewed, whether something has been purchased, which products have been searched for, etc.Some of our advertising partners also collect information beyond the websites about which pages you have previously visited or which products you were interested in, for example, in order to be able to show you advertising that best matches your interests.

This pseudonymous data is never merged with your personal data. Their sole purpose is to enable our advertising partners to address you with advertising that might actually interest you.

15.6 Re-Targeting

Our websites use so-called re-targeting technologies. We use these technologies to make the internet offer more interesting for you. This technology makes it possible to address internet users who have already shown interest in our website and our offers presented there with advertising on the websites of our partners.

We are convinced that the display of personalised, interest-related advertising is usually more interesting for the Internet user than advertising that has no such personal reference. he display of these advertisements on the pages of our partners is based on cookie technology and an analysis of previous user behaviour. This form of advertising is completely pseudonymous. No usage profiles are merged with your personal data.

The basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If we ask you for consent and you consent to the use of cookies, the basis for processing your data is your consent. . If we do not ask for your consent, we process personal data processed using cookies on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in analysing and optimising our services and offers) or if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

15.7 How can you prevent cookies from being stored?

You can configure your browser settings to only accept the storage of cookies if you agree to this. If you only wish to accept Faulhaber Marketing Services cookies, but not the cookies of our service providers and partners, you can select the “Block third-party cookies” setting in your browser.

Usually, the help function in the menu bar of your web browser will show you how to reject new cookies and switch off those you have already received. Alternatively, you can visit the website https://www.aboutcookies.org. There you will find step-by-step instructions on how to control and delete cookies in most browsers.

16 Log files

Each time the pages of Faulhaber Marketing Services are accessed, usage data is transmitted by the respective internet browser and stored in log files, the so-called server log files. The data records stored in this process contain the following data: Date and time of access, name of the page accessed, IP address, referrer URL (URL from which you came to the web pages), the amount of data transferred, as well as product and version information of the browser used.

The users’ IP addresses are deleted or anonymised after the end of use. In the case of anonymisation, the IP addresses are changed in such a way that the individual details about personal or factual circumstances can no longer be assigned to a specific or identifiable natural person or can only be assigned to a specific or identifiable natural person with a disproportionate amount of time, cost and labour.

We evaluate these log file data records in anonymised form in order to further improve our offer and make it more user-friendly, to find and rectify errors more quickly and to control server capacities. For example, we can track at which times the Faulhaber Marketing Services website is particularly popular and provide the corresponding data volume to ensure that you can make your purchase as quickly as possible. Furthermore, by analysing the log files, we can also identify and rectify any errors on the Faulhaber Marketing Services website more quickly. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes.

17.4 Google Remarketing

We use Google’s remarketing function to show you ads on Google Ads, Google Display Network and YouTube that are tailored to your interests based on your activities on our website via re-targeting. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which Google uses to record and evaluate your usage behaviour when you visit various websites. In this way, Google can determine your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not combine the data collected in the course of remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymisation is used in remarketing.

According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can deactivate it in principle by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

If you still do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can deactivate it in principle by making the appropriate settings at https://adssettings.google.de.

17.5 Google Ads

We use Google Ads, an online advertising programme from Google. Google Ads uses cookies to analyse the use of the website. A cookie is set if you have reached our website via a Google ad. Cookies of this type have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain Faulhaber Marketing Services web pages and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page.

You can generally prevent the storage of cookies by deactivating the storage of cookies in your browser. Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google Ads by making the corresponding settings at https://adssettings.google.de.

For more information on the data protection of Google Ads, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=deand https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.

17.6 Google Marketing Platform

We use the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform (“GMP”) from Google. GMP uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once.

In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions, i.e. whether a user sees a GMP ad and later visits the advertiser’s website and makes a purchase there. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.

Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this service. According to Google, the integration of GMP provides Google with the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address. The use of GMP may also result in the transmission of personal data to Google’s servers in the USA.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, or by disabling Google’s interest-based advertising by clicking on the appropriate link on https://adssettings.google.com. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

In particular, the LinkedIn pixel allows us to track users’ actions after they have seen or clicked on a LinkedIn advertisement. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising measures. The data collected in this way is anonymous for us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your identity. However, the data is stored and processed by LinkedIn so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and LinkedIn can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the LinkedIn data protection policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.This allows LinkedIn to enable the placement of advertisements on LinkedIn pages as well as outside of LinkedIn. We cannot influence this use of the data.

LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings at the following link https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising/actions-that-showed-interest. You must be logged in to LinkedIn to do this.

If you are not a member of LinkedIn, you can object to the use of cookies used for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

Google may store this data as usage profiles for the purpose of tailoring its services, advertising and market research. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not consent to this, you must log out beforehand. If you do not agree to the processing of your data, you have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google.

20 Social media functions and social media content

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from various social networks. With the help of these plugins, you can, for example, share content or recommend products. The plugins are activated by default on faulhaber Marketing Services .ch.

The content of the plugin is transmitted by the social network directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. By integrating the plugins, the social network receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign the visit to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Facebook “Like” button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the social network and stored there.

Even if you are not logged in to the social networks, websites with active social plugins can send data to the networks. An active plugin sets a cookie with an identifier every time the website is called up. Since your browser sends this cookie with every connection to a network server without being asked, the network could in principle use it to create a profile of which websites the user belonging to the identifier has called up. If necessary, it would then be possible to assign this identifier to a person again later – for example, when logging on to the social network later.

If you do not want social networks to collect data about you via active plugins, you can select the function “Block third-party cookies” in your browser settings, then your browser will not send any cookies to the respective server of the social network. However, with this setting, in addition to the plugins, other cross-page functions of other providers may also no longer function.

For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of your personal data, please refer to the data protection notices of the respective networks.
