Purpose of the website
The website provides general information about Swiss Vascular GmbH, as well as products and services and career opportunities.
General information on the collection, processing and use of personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, for example names, addresses, telephone numbers or e-mail addresses that express a person’s identity.
We collect, process and use personal data (including IP addresses) only if this is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, or if processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests.
- Contact data such as name, telephone number, e-mail addresses, address, date of birth
- Communication data such as your IP address, the MAC addresses of the devices used, such as smartphone or computer, and device and settings information
- Purchase history data such as purchase data including information about purchased products or services
- Other personal data, such as credit card details, bank details and details of your professional career
Log files
Each time the internet is used, certain information is automatically transmitted by your internet browser and stored by us in so-called log files.
We store log files for as long as necessary for identifying faults and for security reasons (for example, to investigate attempted attacks), and then delete or anonymise them. Log files whose further retention is required for evidential purposes are excluded from deletion until the relevant incident has been finally clarified, and may be passed on to investigative authorities in individual cases. The storage of log files serves our legitimate interests in ensuring the trouble-free and correct operation of our website.
The following information is stored in log files in particular:
- IP address (Internet Protocol address) of the device from which the online service is accessed;
- Internet address of the website from which the online service was accessed (so-called source or referrer URL);
- Name of the service provider through which access to the online service takes place;
- Name of the files or information accessed;
- Date and time, as well as duration, of access;
- amount of data transferred;
- operating system and information about the internet browser used, including installed add-ons (e.g. for a password manager);
- HTTP status code (e.g. “request successful” or “requested file not found”).
User analysis
Analysis tools (e.g. Google Analytics) are used on the example.com website. The information collected about the use of the websites is stored on the servers of the tool providers.
With the help of the analysis tools, we are able to collect and analyse data on how visitors use our website. This enables us to determine when and from which region which page views were made.
Other data collected may include, for example, the file names of accessed files, the browser used, functions used or the length of time spent on the website.
Example AG has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both the web offering and advertising. If prior consent was requested when visiting our website (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place on the basis of your consent, which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future.
You can find detailed information about the analysis tools we use in our Cookie Policy .
Disclosure of data
As a matter of principle, we only transfer your personal data to other controllers where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, we or the third party have an overriding legitimate interest in the transfer, or you have given your consent.
In addition, data may be transferred to other controllers if we are obliged to do so by statutory provisions or by enforceable official or court order.
Service providers
We commission external service providers to carry out tasks such as marketing services, development operations, data hosting, dispatch and debugging. We have carefully selected these service providers and monitor them regularly, in particular their careful handling of and safeguarding of the data stored by them. All service providers are obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and comply with statutory requirements.
Disclosure to recipients outside the EEA
We may also transfer personal data to recipients located outside the EEA in so-called third countries. In this case, before the transfer we ensure that the recipient provides an adequate level of data protection through appropriate contractual agreements, or, where necessary, that you have given your consent to the transfer.
Data storage information: location & retention periods
Your data is stored mainly in Switzerland and Germany. Due to the use of various service providers, data is also stored in other EU countries and within the USA.
As a general rule, we store your data for as long as is necessary to provide our offering and the associated services, or as long as we have a legitimate interest in continued storage (for example, even after a contract has been fulfilled, we may still have a legitimate interest in postal marketing). Thereafter, we delete your personal data except for data that we must continue to store in order to fulfil legal obligations (for example, due to tax and commercial law retention periods, we are obliged to keep documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period).
Marketing tools
We use various tools for marketing activities. When these tools are used, your browser in some cases establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective tools. The relevant provider then receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our offering. Log files are also transmitted to the servers of the respective providers in the same way as the log files described under point 5 and may be stored there. The provider or its server may be located outside Switzerland or the EU/EEA (e.g. in the USA).
The exchange of data takes place via third-party cookies.
You can find further information on the purpose, scope, further processing and use of the data in our Cookie Policy and in the respective terms and conditions and privacy notices.
Newsletter
The e-mail address you provided when registering for the newsletter or when registering a customer account is used to send you information about our offering. You can object to this use at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in the e-mail.
Security
Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and comply with the provisions of the applicable data protection laws.
We take all necessary technical and organisational measures to ensure an appropriate level of protection and to protect the data we manage, in particular against the risks of accidental or unlawful destruction, manipulation, loss, alteration or unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.
Your rights
To assert your rights, please use the details in the “Contact details” section. Please ensure that we can clearly identify you.
Right to information and access
You have the right to receive information from us about the processing of your data. In this respect, you may exercise a right of access regarding the personal data we process about you.
The data will be made available to you within 20 working days of receipt of your request.
Right to rectification and erasure
You may request that we correct incorrect data. Where the legal requirements are met, you may request the completion or deletion of your data.
Please contact us in writing or by telephone to request the deletion of your data. You will find the contact details under Contact on this page.
This does not apply to data that is required for billing and accounting purposes or that is subject to a statutory retention obligation.
The deletion of the data will be completed within 20 working days of receipt of your request.
Data portability
Where the legal requirements are met, you may request to receive data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or - where technically feasible - that the data be transmitted to a third party.
Right to object
Objection to direct marketing
You may also object at any time to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes (“objection to advertising”). Please note that, for organisational reasons, there may be an overlap between your objection and the use of your data in the context of a campaign already in progress.
Objection to data processing on the legal basis of “legitimate interest”
You also have the right to object at any time to our processing of your data where this is based on the legal basis of “legitimate interest”. We will then cease processing your data unless - in accordance with legal requirements - we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the continued processing which override your rights.
Withdrawal of consent
If you have given us consent to process your data, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing of your data up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected.
Changes to the privacy policy
We reserve the right to adapt our security and data protection measures. In such cases, we will also update our privacy policy accordingly.
