Hosting provider: cyon

Scope of the processing of personal data

We only process the personal data of users of our website insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services.

The following points describe which personal data is processed:

  • Technical necessity (see point 1)
  • Contact form (see point 2)
  • Google Maps (see point 3)
  • WPML (see point 4)

1. Technical necessity

Data categories

As with every connection to a web server, the server of our web hosting provider cyon in Basel, Switzerland, logs and stores certain technical data. This data includes the IP address and operating system of your device, the data, the access time, the type of browser and the browser request, including the origin of the request (referrer). This is necessary for technical reasons in order to make our website available to you. cyon uses technical and organizational measures to protect this data from unauthorized access and does not pass it on to third parties.

The raw logs contain the following information

  • IP address of the accessing device
  • Date and time of access
  • URL accessed
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • If available, the referrer (referring page)
  • Amount of data transferred during access
  • Browser identification (browser name and version)

The data is stored in the log files on cyon’s web server for 24 hours (see cyon.ch – raw logs). This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. We have deactivated the website statistics so that the log data is not stored.

Purpose of data processing

The storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the web pages to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is

  • 4, Art. 13 para. 1 DSG;
  • within the scope of application of the GDPR, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR,

as the storage is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest. The legitimate interests are based on the fact that we cannot offer the website if technically required settings are not available, stored and otherwise processed. Processing is also necessary in order to detect, defend against and document attacks on the integrity and functionality of the website. This outweighs the interests of the user of the website, as they visit the website of their own accord and can stop the processing of data by simply leaving the website.

Deletion of personal data

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after 24 hours at the latest. We do not store data beyond this period.

Right of objection

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object. If the user wishes to prevent future and further storage, they must leave the website and refrain from accessing this website in the future.

2. Contact form

There are forms on our website that users can use to contact us.

Data categories

If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask provided on the website will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are

Name, e-mail, telephone number and message

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided or by telephone. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e-mail or by telephone will also be stored, in particular the e-mail address or telephone number.

Purpose of data processing

The purpose of processing the data is, on the one hand, to contact the user.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the consent of the user in accordance with

  • 4 para. 5 DSG and
  • within the scope of the GDPR: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing is also

  • 4, Art. 13 para. 1 FADP;
  • within the scope of application of the GDPR, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

as the storage is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest. The legitimate interests are based on the fact that, in particular in the event of a complaint, we must initiate measures to identify and correct the defects complained about in order to achieve our quality standards. This outweighs the interests of the user of the website, as the user uses the contact form of his or her own volition and thus consciously wants to give us the opportunity to use good and bad experiences to optimize our manufacturing and sales process.

Deletion of data

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

3. Google Maps

Our website uses the map service Google Maps, which is offered to persons from Switzerland and the European Economic Area by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 4, D04 V4X7, Ireland. In order for the Google map material used by us to be integrated, your web browser must establish a connection to a Google server, which may also be located in the USA, when you access our website. By integrating the map material, Google receives the information that a page of our website has been accessed from the IP address of your device. If you access the Google map service on our website while you are logged into your Google profile, this can also be linked to your Google profile. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of Google before accessing our website.

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and the additional terms of use for Google Maps (https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps/).

4. WPML

We use WPML to display our website in different languages. When you visit our website, WPML stores a cookie on your device to save the language setting you have selected.

5. Use of social media plugins

For data protection reasons, we do not use social media plugins.

Revocation of consent

The user has the option at any time to revoke consent to the processing of personal data given by him in connection with the use of the website without cause.

If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time by sending an email to info@erlebnis-hofmatt.com, where the legal basis for the processing was exclusively the user’s consent. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. If, on the basis of the communication that has already taken place, an action has been taken that triggers legally binding consequences for us or the person concerned, or if we are entitled or obliged to archive the data for legal reasons, we are entitled to refuse a request for deletion.

The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Disclosure to third parties

As a matter of principle, we do not pass on personal data that we collect within the scope of the website to third parties, with the exception of state institutions and courts, insofar as these can order us to provide data with binding effect.

The data is processed exclusively in Switzerland.

Rights of the user

If your personal data is processed, you have the following rights:

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case and there is no adequacy decision, we are also obliged to inform you of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis us if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. We must make the correction without delay as soon as you have informed us of the correct way to record this data.

Right to restriction of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

  • if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead
  • we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  • if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet certain whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure

If the legal conditions are met, you can request us to delete the personal data concerning you immediately and we are then obliged to delete this data immediately.

Please note that there are also legal grounds on which we are not obliged to comply with a request for erasure.

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right vis-à-vis us to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability
