1. general information
With this privacy policy we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of your personal data. You can access this data protection declaration at any time on our website www.msmgroup.ch or request it from us in writing or by e-mail.

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal requirements. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

This data protection declaration serves to implement the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG; SR 235.1) as well as the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (Basic Data Protection Regulation; hereinafter: DSGVO). It may be updated at any time. We recommend that you check it regularly. The last line of this declaration contains the date of the last amendment (“Status”).

3. collection, storage as well as type and purpose of the use of personal data

LogFiles
For technical reasons, your Internet program (browser) automatically transmits data to our web server for internal system and statistical purposes when you access our website.

The following data is thus collected, stored and evaluated:

– Visited website
– Date of access
– Time of access
– Host name of the accessing computer
– URL of the referring website (referrer URL)
– Retrieved file(s)
– Quantity of data sent
– Browser type and version used
– Operating system in use
– Used IP address

This data is stored in so-called server log files; separated from other data that you transmit within the scope of your use of our website, e.g. by entering it in a form. This data is not merged with other data sources. Your data is used by us or by other providers to administer the website, to carry out statistical evaluations (e.g. about accesses), and to be able to recognise and ward off unauthorised accesses.

We and any other providers collect and store this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in the administration of the website (in particular the technically correct display and optimisation), in statistical evaluation and in being able to recognise and ward off unauthorised access (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

This data is stored and evaluated by us or by other providers for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted by us after evaluation. If data must be stored for reasons of evidence, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified. Legal obligations to retain data remain unaffected.

Comment function
Leave a comment

When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information displayed in the comment form, your IP address and the user-agent string (which identifies the browser) to help us detect spam. If you leave a comment, it will be saved including metadata for an unlimited period of time. This way we can automatically detect and release follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO, if the user has given his consent. You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted without consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We have a rectified interest in the detection, prevention and deletion of spam and in the user-friendliness of our website. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

The data is stored until you request us to delete it, declare your revocation or the purpose of the data storage ceases to apply. Your comment will be removed if it is spam. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

You can prevent data processing by not leaving a comment. You have the following options with regard to cookies: Most browsers have functions that inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases; have the option of excluding the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. However, this could restrict the range of functions of our offer.

AntiSpam Bee

Additionally we use the tool “AntispamBee” against spam comments. This is a WordPress add-on program of the provider plugin collective on open source basis with which spam should be limited. Thereby the IP addresses of the user are processed and transmitted in shortened form. According to the provider, this IP anonymisation means that no more reference to your person can be made.

Legal basis for the use of AntiSpam Bee is our legitimate interest (see art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in the detection, prevention and deletion of spam.

The data will be stored until you request us to delete it, declare your revocation or the purpose of the data storage ceases to apply. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
