3. HOW DO WE USE COOKIES ON OUR WEBSITE?
​

To optimize our offer, we use cookies on our website. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of the use of our website.

 

We only use non-essential cookies (such as functional, analytical and marketing cookies) after obtaining your explicit consent through our cookie banner. You may choose to accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences by selecting specific cookie categories. Your preferences are stored and respected for future visits, and you may change or withdraw your consent at any time. Please note that if you choose not to activate certain cookies, your overall user experience may be limited.

 

We categorize cookies as follows:

  • Essential Cookies: These are required for the site to function properly (e.g., session management, security). These are always active and do not require your consent.

  • Functional Cookies: They help us remember information that changes the way the website looks or behaves.

  • Analytical Cookies: They help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

  • Marketing Cookies: These enable us to collect information about user behaviour on the website or across different websites, in order to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.

 

Some of the cookies we use are provided by trusted third-party partners, such as Google Analytics. These third parties may collect information about your use of the site, subject to their own privacy policies.

 

The cookie banner implemented by Synendos provides detailed information about:

 

  1. The specific purposes of the different categories of cookies;

  2. The processors or independent controllers involved in the collection of personal data from the installation of the different categories of cookies;

4. HOW DO WE USE WEB ANALYTICS TOOLS?
​

Through the measures listed below, we ensure the needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website. These measures allow us to statistically record and evaluate the use of our website. This is our legitimate interest.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (Google). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that your IP address will be shortened in Switzerland, the European Union and the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website in order to provide us with reports on the activities of users on the website and to provide other services related to the use of the website and internet usage. Furthermore, Google will transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. The IP address provided by your browser will not be merged with Google's other data.

You may object to Google Analytics collecting the data with effect for the future by installing a deactivation add-on (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en) for your browser. Besides the possibility to install the deactivation add-on, there is another alternative to prevent Google Analytics from collecting the data. It is particularly interesting for users of mobile devices. Please click on this link to deactivate Google Analytics. By doing this you install an opt-out cookie, which prevents the tracking of the data on the website. The function remains in effect until the opt-out cookie is deleted. If the opt-out cookie has been deleted, it is sufficient to click on the link another time.

5. WITH WHOM WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
​

We may disclose your personal data to service providers we retain in connection with operating our website. Apart from that, we only disclose your personal data to third parties if you expressly consent, if there is a legal obligation or permission to do so, if disclosure is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or if the disclosure of data is necessary for the settlement of the terms and conditions of the contract with you.

The data sharing may include transfers to companies, authorities or organizations worldwide, including countries without adequate data protection standards. In these cases, we will transfer personal data in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Data Protection Act or, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation on the international transfer of personal data, including Standard Contractual Clauses or, where applicable and permitted, on the grounds of the performance of contract, because it is public content, because we have your consent or because the disclosure is necessary for a legal action or proceeding before, or with a, foreign court and other public authority.

​

Please note that our website might include links that lead to third-party websites for information purposes. In this case, the processing of your personal data when you are visiting these third-party websites is subject to those third-parties’ own data protection policies, which Synendos does not control.

6. HOW SECURE IS YOUR DATA?
​

We apply adequate technical and organizational security measures, commensurate with the level of known risk, in order to protect your personal data against manipulation, loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties.

7. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR DATA?
​

We process and retain your personal data as long as required for the performance of our obligations and compliance with legal obligations or other purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for the duration of the entire business relationship as well as beyond this duration in accordance with legal retention and documentation obligations. Personal data may be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted against us (i.e. particularly during legal prescription periods) or insofar as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or if legitimate business interests require further retention (e.g., for evidence and documentation purposes).

As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted or anonymized, as far as possible. In principle, shorter retention periods, of no more than twelve months, apply for operational data (e.g., system logs).

8. WHAT ARE YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR DATA?
​

Depending on the different purposes of processing and the legal basis that is applicable, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, to revoke your consent and to object. If you believe that the processing of your data violates the data protection laws, you can report this to us or the relevant supervisory authority.

If you have any questions regarding the processing of your data or your privacy rights, please contact us at the following address:  dataprotection.dpo@synendos.com
