Data protection  

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

It is generally possible to use our website without providing personal data. The collection of personal data (such as name, address or e-mail address) on our website is always on a voluntary basis, whenever possible. Some of these data will be passed on to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Please be aware that there are inherent security risks in transmitting data via the Internet (e.g. e-mail communication). It is not possible to safeguard data completely against unauthorised access by third parties.

This website is operated by Ghielmetti Solutions AG. Which data is transmitted to us by you in connection with your visit to our website depends in particular on the browser you use and its settings. If your settings permit, we use cookies, for example, to offer you an optimised use of our website. This includes information such as the region in which you are located, the language you select and the products and services you visit. This enables us to recognise you the next time you visit. It is also possible to visit our website completely anonymously.

For the provision of services and the processing of requests, we may require additional personal data from you, which we may combine with the above-mentioned data from your visit to the website to offer you content and services that are as closely tailored to your needs as possible. These data include name and address as well as usage data such as user name, password and IP address. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties outside of Ghielmetti Solutions AG. Such third parties are used. Your data will be processed to provide you with information on product innovations, updates in software and firmware, training courses, events or trade fairs, as well as news via e-mail or similar channels, provided that you have given your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. We will then stop processing the data in the future, provided that we do not have to continue processing the data for other purposes, e.g. to comply with statutory documentation and storage obligations.

Cookies

The website uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. These are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the placement of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, prevent the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Hosting provider & server log files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transfers to us. These are:

• IP address
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons directly. These data are not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check these data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

These data as well as all data of this website are stored at our hosting provider METANET AG, Josefstrasse 218, CH-8005 Zürich.

SSL encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Contact form

If you send us requests using the contact form, your data from the request form, including the contact information you provide and your IP address, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and for follow-up questions. We will not pass on these data without your consent.

Newsletter data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require from you an e-mail address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. We only use these data to send the requested information. You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your data, your e-mail address and its use to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can log in with unknown e-mail addresses. Newsletter subscriptions are logged in order to prove that the registration process is in compliance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the time of registration and time of confirmation as well as the IP address. 

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC, Mountain View, California, USA. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of the way in which you use this website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation feature on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional circumstances is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet for the website operator. The IP address transferred from your browser as part of Google Analytics is not added to other Google data.

Browser plugin

You can change the settings of your browser software to prevent cookies being stored. However, we must point out that doing so may mean that you can no longer use the full features of our website. Furthermore, you may prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookies relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Order data processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of EU data protection law when using Google Analytics.

Google Maps

We use the component “Google Maps” of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”, on our website.

Each time you access the “Google Maps” component, Google sets a cookie to process user settings and data when you view the page in which the “Google Maps” component is integrated. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when you close your browser, but expires after a certain period of time, unless you delete it manually beforehand.
If you do not agree to this processing of your data, it is possible to deactivate the “Google Maps” service and thus prevent the transfer of data to Google. To do this, deactivate the JavaScript feature in your browser. We would point out, however, that if you exercise this right you may not be able to use “Google Maps”, or may only be able to use limited features of “Google Maps”.
The use of “Google Maps” and the information obtained via “Google Maps” is in compliance with the Google terms of use http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and the additional terms for “Google Maps” https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

Demographic features in Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics’ “demographic features”. This allows reports to be created that contain information on the age, gender and interests of website visitors. These data originate from interest-related advertising by Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. The data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objection to data collection”.

Google Fonts

This website uses Google Fonts. To our knowledge, no personal data are stored by Google. For technical reasons, however, your IP address must be transferred to Google so that the fonts can be transferred to your browser. You can find more information from Google about Google Fonts here.

Right to information and rectification

Any natural person residing in the EU, the EEA or Switzerland can request information about the processed data relating to them. We will rectify information that is incorrect or no longer correct.

For a request for information or rectification, please contact us at the addresses given in the Imprint.
