This privacy statement informs you about the personal data we process in connection with our activities and operations, including our www.kultur-vermittlung.ch website and our www.kompass.kultur-vermittlung.ch website. In particular, we provide information on what for, how and where we process which personal data. We also inform about the rights of persons whose data we process.

Further data protection declarations and other legal documents such as general terms and conditions (GTC), terms of use or conditions of participation may apply to individual or additional activities and operations.

We will point out if there are other people responsible for the processing of personal data in individual cases.

 

2. Terms and legal basis

2.1 Terms

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed.

Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, collection, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

2.2 Legal basis

We are fundamentally subject to Swiss data protection law such as in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) and the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA). Where applicable, we also comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

3. nature, scope and purpose

We process those personal data that are necessary to carry out our activities and operations in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such personal data may in particular fall into the categories of inventory and contact data, technical data, location data, financial data or privacy data.

We process personal data for the period of time necessary for the relevant purpose(s) or as required by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer necessary will be anonymised or deleted.

We may have personal data processed by third parties (see points 9 to 11). We may process personal data jointly with third parties or transmit it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialised providers whose services we use. We also guarantee data protection for such third parties.

We process data automatically collected during visits to the website for the purpose of analysing and improving our website and our services. This is technical data (e.g. IP addresses, device and browser information, etc.). Although this data exceptionally allows conclusions to be drawn about the data subject, we do not process the data for this purpose.

We process personal data that data subjects provide to us when contacting us or using our services. This involves

  • when filling out our contact form, the data provided therein (name, e-mail address and, if applicable, other data provided voluntarily;
  • when filling out the membership request form, the data provided therein (name, address, e-mail address, etc.);
  • when creating a publicly visible member page (name, e-mail address, telephone number, website, portrait text, links to own offers and projects)
  • when registering for our newsletter, the e-mail address and your name;
  • if you contact us in any other way (e.g. by telephone, e-mail or letter), the data you provide voluntarily.
  • when entering a music education project (https://kompass.kultur-vermittlung.ch/), the data entered therein (name, email address and other data entered voluntarily);

If we receive data about other persons, the persons providing the data are obliged to guarantee data protection vis-à-vis these persons and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect in the course of our activities and operations, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.

 

4. Personal data abroad

We process personal data in Switzerland. In the case of certain third-party services (see points 9 to 11), personal data may be processed abroad.

We may disclose personal data in countries whose law does not guarantee adequate data protection, provided that adequate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, for example through appropriate contractual agreements, on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable guarantees. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the special data protection law requirements are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract.

 

5. rights of data subjects

Data subjects about whom we process personal data have rights under Swiss data protection law. These include the right to information or surrender as well as the right to correction, deletion or blocking of the personal data processed.

Data subjects about whom we process personal data have a right of appeal to a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

 

6. data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data security that is commensurate with the risk. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our website is via transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.

 

7. use of the website

7.1 Cookies

We may use cookies. Cookies - our own cookies (first-party cookies) as well as cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) - are data that are stored in the browser. Such stored data need not be limited to traditional cookies in text form.

Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. Cookies make it possible in particular to recognise a browser the next time it visits our website and thus, for example, to measure the reach of our website. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.

Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated and deleted at any time in the browser settings. Deleted at any time. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available to you. We actively request your express consent to the use of cookies, at least if and to the extent necessary.

For cookies used for performance and reach measurement or for advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is possible for many services via AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAd-Choices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).

7.2 Server log files

We may collect the following information for each access to our website, provided that this information is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: Date and time including time zone, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual sub-page of our website accessed including amount of data transferred, website last accessed in the same browser window (referer or referrer).

We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is necessary to provide our website in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner and to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data - also by third parties or with the help of third parties.

7.3 Tracking pixels

We may use tracking pixels on our website. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels - including those from third parties whose services we use - are small, usually invisible images that are automatically retrieved when you visit our website. With pixel counters, the same information can be collected as in server log files.

 

8. links to third party offers

Our website contains numerous links to third-party offers, including social media websites. We do not process any personal data on third-party websites. The General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and Terms of Use as well as data protection declarations and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms apply in each case.

 

9. services from third parties

We use services from specialised third parties to enable us to carry out our activities and operations in a durable, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. With such services, we can, among other things, embed functions and content in our website. In the case of such embedding, the services used record the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of the users at least temporarily for technically compelling reasons. The services are processed in the EU as well as in the USA.

For necessary security-related, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data in connection with our activities and operations in aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised form. This is, for example, performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.

We use in particular:

Services of Vimeo: Provider: Vimeo LLC, General information on data protection: Data protection declaration, "Data Protection"

9.1 Digital infrastructure

We use services from specialised third parties to provide us with the digital infrastructure we need in connection with our activities and operations. This includes, for example, hosting and storage services from selected providers.

In particular, we use:

9.2 Digital audio and video content

We use the services Vimeo (Vimeo LLC) and YouTube (Google) to enable the direct playback of digital audio and video content such as music or podcasts.

9.3 Fonts

We use Google Fonts (Google) to embed selected fonts as well as icons, logos and symbols in our website.

 

10. extensions for the website

We use the free JavaScript library jQuery (Google Hosted Libraries) as an extension for our website in order to be able to use additional functions.

 

11. success and reach measurement

11.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to determine how our online offering is used. In this context, we can, for example, measure the success and reach of our activities and operations as well as the effect of third-party links to our website. However, we can also, for example, test and compare how different versions of our online offer or parts of our online offer are used ("A/B test" method). Based on the results of the success and reach measurement, we can in particular correct errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements to our online offer.

When using Google Analytics to measure success and reach, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of individual users must be stored. IP addresses are always shortened ("IP masking") in order to follow the principle of data economy through the corresponding pseudonymisation and thus to improve the data protection of users.

When using services and programmes for performance and reach measurement, cookies may be used and user profiles may be created. User profiles include, for example, the pages visited or content viewed on our website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the - at least approximate - location. As a matter of principle, user profiles are only created pseudonymously. We do not use user profiles to identify individual users. Individual services provided by third parties with which users are registered may be able to assign the use of our online services to the user account or user profile of the respective service.

11.2 Mailchimp

We use Mailchimp when sending our newsletters to determine how our offer is used. The newsletters may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual notification has been opened and which web links have been clicked on. Such web links and tracking pixels may also track usage of notifications and communications on a personal basis. We need this statistical recording of usage for performance and reach measurement in order to be able to send notifications and messages effectively and in a user-friendly manner based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients, as well as permanently, securely and reliably.

In principle, you must expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and other contact addresses, unless such use is permitted for other legal reasons. For any consent we use the "double opt-in" procedure where possible, i.e. you receive an e-mail with a web link which you must click to confirm so that no misuse by unauthorised third parties can take place. We may log such consents including Internet Protocol (IP) address, date and time for evidence and security reasons.

In principle, you can object to receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can simultaneously object to the statistical recording of use for performance and reach measurement. Necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and operations remain reserved.

 

12. final provisions

We have created this data protection declaration with the data protection generator of Datenschutzpartner.

For the translation into other languages, the application DeepL was used.

We may amend and supplement this privacy policy at any time. We will inform about inform you of such amendments and additions in an appropriate manner, in particular by Publishing the respective current data protection declaration on our website.
