8. Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses cookies and, where applicable, similar technologies.

Cookies are small files that may be stored in a user’s browser or on their device.

A distinction may be made between technically necessary cookies and optional cookies.

Technically necessary cookies

Technically necessary cookies may be used where they are required for the operation, security or basic functionality of the WordPress website.

As a rule, consent is not required for such cookies where they are used exclusively for these necessary purposes.

Analytics cookies

Google Analytics is used for statistical analysis of the use of this website.

Where non-essential cookies or similar technologies are used for this purpose, they are activated only in accordance with the privacy choices made by the user through the cookie banner.

Consent that has been given may be changed or withdrawn at any time with effect for the future via the cookie or privacy settings available on this website.

Cookies may also be deleted or blocked through the settings of the relevant browser.

9. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google.

For users in Switzerland, the service is generally provided by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland

Google Analytics enables statistical analysis of the use of this website. It may, for example, be used to analyse:

  • how frequently particular pages are viewed;
  • how long visitors remain on the website;
  • which sources visitors use to reach the website;
  • which devices and browsers are used;
  • the approximate geographical regions from which visits originate.

Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies for these purposes and process pseudonymous identifiers.

Google states that IP addresses of users in Switzerland and the European Union are not logged or stored. IP addresses are used to derive general geographical information and are subsequently discarded.

Google Analytics is activated on this website only in accordance with the selection made through the cookie banner.

Consent that has previously been given may be withdrawn at any time through this website’s cookie settings.

Users may also restrict or prevent the use of cookies through their browser settings.

As part of its global infrastructure, Google may also process data outside Switzerland. Google’s applicable data protection safeguards and the relevant data protection laws apply to cross-border processing.

Further information about Google’s processing of data is available in Google’s privacy policy and its information about Google Analytics.

10. Links to LinkedIn and X

This website contains links to external profiles or services on the platforms LinkedIn and X.

These are ordinary external links and not embedded social media plug-ins.

Simply visiting this website does not, as a rule, result in data being transmitted to LinkedIn or X through these links.

Only when a user clicks such a link is the website of the respective provider opened. From that point onward, the processing of data is subject to the privacy provisions of the relevant platform operator.

This applies in particular to:

LinkedIn
LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company
Wilton Plaza
Wilton Place
Dublin 2
Ireland

and

X
The operator of the service offered at x.com in accordance with the terms of use and privacy provisions applicable to the relevant user.

The operator of this website has no influence over the subsequent processing of data by these platforms.

11. SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses an encrypted HTTPS connection.

This is intended to protect data transmitted between the user’s browser and this website’s server against unauthorised access by third parties.

Absolute security of electronic data transmission cannot, however, be guaranteed.

12. Disclosure to third parties

Personal data is disclosed to third parties only where this is necessary for a specific purpose or where there is a legal basis for doing so.

Such third parties may in particular include:

  • hosting and IT service providers;
  • Google in connection with Google Analytics;
  • technical service providers involved in the operation or security of the website;
  • public authorities or other bodies where disclosure is required by law.

As a rule, service providers receive only the information necessary for the performance of their respective services.

13. Disclosure of data abroad

The primary hosting infrastructure for this website is located in Switzerland.

However, the use of internationally operating service providers, in particular Google, may result in personal data also being processed in other countries.

Disclosure to countries recognised by the Swiss Federal Council as providing an adequate level of data protection takes place in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

Where data is transferred to countries that are not recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection, appropriate safeguards are used where required. These may include standard contractual clauses or other safeguards provided for by law.

Where a company in the United States is certified under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, data may be disclosed under that framework.

14. Retention period

Personal data is generally retained only for as long as is necessary for the relevant purpose.

Data may also be retained where statutory retention obligations apply or where retention is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Contact enquiries are generally deleted once they have been fully dealt with and there are no factual or legal reasons requiring further retention.

Data collected through Google Analytics is additionally subject to the retention periods configured in the Google Analytics account.

15. Data security

The website operator takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or unauthorised disclosure.

These measures include, in particular, encrypted data transmission and appropriate technical safeguards for the operation of the WordPress website.

Absolute protection against all risks associated with data transmission and data processing on the internet cannot, however, be guaranteed.

16. Rights of data subjects

Individuals whose personal data is processed have various rights under applicable data protection law.

Where the relevant statutory requirements are met, these rights may in particular include:

  • the right to obtain information about personal data being processed;
  • the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected;
  • the right to request deletion of certain personal data;
  • the right to object to certain data processing activities;
  • the right to receive or transfer certain personal data;
  • the right to withdraw consent with effect for the future.

Requests may be sent to kontakt@maltelindberg.ch.

To prevent misuse, appropriate proof of identity may be requested.

Data subjects may also contact the competent data protection supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

17. No automated individual decision-making

No decisions based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects on visitors are made in connection with this website.

18. Amendments

This Privacy Policy may be amended if the website, the services used or the applicable legal framework changes.

The version currently published on this website is authoritative.
