Privacy Policy

Protection of your personal data is of great importance to us. We therefore handle your personal data responsibly and in compliance with the applicable statutory data protection provisions. This Privacy Policy may change from time to time and therefore you should review it regularly.

Data collected from visitors to this website and services offered via the Internet by nat.artes gmbh (hereinafter called “online services”), is processed by nat.artes gmbh (hereinafter called “nat.artes”, “we” or “us”) in its capacity as a service provider. The above-mentioned services will be referred to hereinafter as “digital presence”. Further details about nat.artes can be found under the “masthead” section of the website.

This Privacy Policy contains information for you about our data processing methods. We explain what data will be processed by us whenever you access our digital presences.

Owner of the data collected

The owner of the data collected is nat.artes gmbh, Ob den Reben 9, 5023 Biberstein, Switzerland.

Data collected

In principle, our digital presence can be used without disclosing any personal data. As is common practice with many websites, certain data such as IP addresses and other usage information, is collected automatically and then analysed and processed anonymously by our web analytics software. By using our digital presence, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of this data in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Automatic logging

Our web servers automatically log every visit in a temporary log file. User-specific data (such as the IP address of the requesting computer, identification data of the browser used, the operating system of the requesting computer, the amount of data transferred, the name of the Internet Service Provider, the date and time of access) and technical data (such as the name and URL of the referring web page when the website was accessed via a link and, additionally, the search term if it was accessed via a search engine) are logged and analysed anonymously. First, this data is needed to enable the use of our content (connection set-up), and is also used for system-related purposes, such as technical administration and system security. As part of this, so-called cookies may be used (see section 4 below). We do not use your data for any other purposes, unless you have given your express consent to additional data processing when using certain services, or if we are legally bound to do so.

Additional data processing

In addition, we only process personal data when you decide to send it to us; for example, by filling out an online form or sending us a message via the contact forms. In these cases, we will only ask you to provide the personal data we require to perform the services we provide. The information you provide us with will be recorded in our IT systems.

User of your data

Collecting data helps us to develop and improve our digital presence and to optimize our range of services. We use the data collected by automatic logging for the following purposes:

• To enable your use of the digital presence (establishing a connection).
• For internal management of the website, for example technical administration and maintenance of system security.
• To prevent fraud and improve the security of the website.
• To provide required information about nat.artes and its services.
• To provide logins, online services and contractually-compliant processing of these services.
• To tailor our websites to specific target groups (with targeted content or information on the website that may be of interest to you).

Will we share your data with anyone else?

In the event that nat.artes pengages third parties to provide the services, it will be authorized to make available to them the data necessary for this purpose. These third parties are subject to the same obligations with regard to data protection as nat.artes itself. Apart from this, personal data is not transferred to third parties or otherwise transmitted without your express consent. We will retain your information for no longer than necessary and it will remain confidential. This excludes the transmission of personal data to governmental institutions and authorities as well as to private persons with a right thereto based on statutory regulations, court orders or regulatory decisions, as well as its transfer to governmental institutions for the purposes of taking legal action or prosecution should our legally protected rights be challenged.

Your rights

1. Amendment, blocking and deletion / withdrawal of consent

You have the right to request information on the processing of your personal data and can seek its amendment, blocking or deletion.

If you have expressly consented to further data processing, you may revoke this at any time. Detailed information can be found in the relevant General Terms and Conditions and Subscriber Conditions.

2. Contact information

If you have questions, suggestions or concerns in relation to the handling of your data, you are welcome to contact us by post, telephone or e-mail: nat.artes gmbh, Ob den Reben 9, 5023 Biberstein, Switzerland, contact@natartes.ch

Should you wish to contact us by e-mail, please note that e-mails will be in an unencrypted form and will therefore be susceptible to the security risks typically associated with such methods of communication.

Datasecurity

The data we collect and save is treated confidentially and, using appropriate technical and organizational precautions, protected from loss or manipulation as well as from unauthorized access by third parties.

Login information exchanged between your hardware and us is encrypted. We do not accept liability for any unauthorized access or loss or personal data that is beyond our control.

Our digital presence may contain links to other digital solutions which are outside our control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you access other digital solutions using the links provided, the operators of these digital solutions may collect information from you which will be used by these operators in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from ours.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

Changes to this Privacy Policy may be required from time to time, for example due to the ongoing development of our digital presence or as a result of changes in legislation. nat.artes therefore reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy at any time, with effect from a future date. Accordingly, we recommend that you re-read this Privacy Policy on a regular basis. This Privacy Policy was last updated on: 04 March 2019.
