6.2 Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google Inc., USA that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google Inc. may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Platform available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity. For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: Google Privacy & Terms.

7. Inclusion of Third Party Elements

Our Platform may contain content from and links to other websites and third party providers, such as, YouTube, or social media button from platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. This content enables you to enjoy content from those platforms within our Service or simply to share our content on the relevant social media networks.

 

When you use our Platform, if such content is displayed as part of the Service, a connection to the servers of the third party provider is automatically established. Personal Data and/or Usage Data about your access to our Platform, in particular your IP address, will be transmitted to this third party provider. Therefore, if you have signed in to that third party’s account at the time you visit our Platform (for example, with a Facebook or Google account), that third party may detect that you accessed our Platform and use our Service. You authorise us to share this information with the third party provider that hosts your account.

 

If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s website. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

8. Legal Bases of Processing

The legal justification, upon which we base our processing of Personal Data, is stipulated in article 13(2)(a) FADP (processing directly related to the conclusion, or the settlement, of a contract; corresponding to article 6(1)(b) GDPR; and article 13(1) FADP (consent of the data subject or obligation to process by law) corresponding to article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

 

We reserve the right to store the first name and surname, postal address, and e-mail address of a data subject pursuant to article 13(1) FADP (corresponding to article 6(1)(f) GDPR) if, based on misuse, non-payment or similar legitimate reasons, we refuse to conclude any future contracts with data subjects.

 

Furthermore, group entities may also process Personal Data pursuant to article 13(1) FADP (corresponding to article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

9. Your Rights

Upon request, we will inform the data subject about and – if so – which Personal Data we process about him or her (right of confirmation, right of access).

 

At your request:

 

  • we will cease processing Personal Data, in part or in full (right to withdraw your consent to the processing of Personal Data for one or more specific purposes; right to erasure (right “to be forgotten”)). Your request to be forgotten will also be communicated to third parties to whom we have previously forwarded your Personal Data.
  • we will correct the relevant Personal Data (right to rectification);
  • we will restrict the processing of the relevant Personal Data (right to restriction of processing); in this case we will only store or use your Personal Data to protect our own legal claims or the third party rights;
  • you will receive the relevant Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (right to data portability).

To request any of the rights described in this section, for example if you no longer wish to receive our e-mail newsletters or if you wish to delete your account, please use the appropriate function on our Platform, or contact our data protection officer or an employee as described in section 11 (Contact Us).

 

If we do not comply with your request, we will inform you of the reasons for our non-compliance. For example, we may legally refuse to delete your Personal Data if we still need it to fulfil the purpose, for which it was originally provided (for example if we continue providing our services to you), if the processing is based on mandatory law (for example mandatory accounting regulations), or if we have a predominant interest of our own (for example in the case of a lawsuit against the data subject).

 

If we assert a predominant interest in the processing of Personal Data, you have nevertheless the right to object to the processing; provided, however, that your individual situation compares differently to that of other data subjects (right to object). This could be the case, for example, if you are a person of public interest, or if processing increases the risk of you being harmed by third parties.

 

If you disagree with our response to your request, you have the right to file a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, for example, in your country of residence or at the registered seat of Astrivis (right to appeal).

10. General Terms

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on our Platform. We will let you know via email and/or a prominent notice on our Platform, prior to the change becoming effective and update the “effective date” at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page. If you disagree with the changes, you are not permitted to access the Platform and/or receive the Service.

 

If any provision of this Privacy Policy is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will in no way be affected or impaired as long as the intent can be preserved.

 

This Privacy Policy and any agreements concluded based on, or in connection with, this Privacy Policy, as the case may be, are governed by Swiss law, unless the applicable law of another country applies mandatorily. The place of jurisdiction is the registered seat of Astrivis, unless a different place of jurisdiction applies mandatorily.
