Privacy Policy
General information
Data protection is an essential concern for us, Nimbus AG, as the operator of this website. We want to ensure at all times that your privacy is protected when you use our website.
We collect, process or use your data only if you give us your consent or if a legal provision permits us to process or use it. In doing so, we comply with the applicable statutory data protection requirements, in particular the provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).
What is personal data?
According to the GDPR, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as location data, names, information about the psychological, physical, cultural, economic or social characteristics of a natural person.
For what purpose do we collect, process and use personal data?
We use your data exclusively to reply to you when you contact us by email.
What information do we collect in this context?
Only information that you enter on our website or otherwise transmit to us is recorded, stored and processed.
Consent and withdrawal
By contacting us via email, your first name, last name, company address as well as telephone number and email address are used, with your consent, for our own advertising purposes. If you have given us your consent to use, process and transfer your personal data for marketing purposes, you may withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future, without having to observe any particular form or deadline.
In addition, you may object to such use insofar as we use your data within the legally permissible framework, for example for postal marketing measures. In both cases, you can send us an informal notice by post to the address below.
After receipt of your withdrawal or objection, we will no longer use, process or transfer the data concerned for purposes other than processing your requests, and we will cease sending you advertising material.
Do we pass personal data on to third parties?
We assure you that we do not pass your personal data on to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have given your prior consent.
How long is the data retained?
Only as long as is necessary for the provision of our services or as required by legal obligations, but no longer than five years.
How do we secure your data?
We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, manipulation or unauthorised access by third parties. We regularly adapt our security measures to ongoing technological developments.
For our websites and the transmission of the data you provide there, we encrypt your data using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method. This is currently the most common and secure data transmission method on the internet.
Data collection through cookies
When you visit our website, technical and statistical data about the use of the website is also collected automatically by setting cookies. This includes the following data:
- IP address
- browser type and version
- the website from which you visit us
- the operating system you use
- date and time of your visits to the individual websites
- information on the allocation of your visit or visitor flow on our pages
This data is used to continuously improve our website and is evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes and anonymously.
If you do not want cookies to be used, please make use of your browser’s option to block cookies. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.
Data collection through the use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website use and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. You can prevent collection by Google Analytics by clicking the following link.
An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics
For more information on the terms of use and data protection, please visit http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIp” to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). We also use Google Analytics to statistically evaluate data from AdWords and the DoubleClick cookie. If you do not wish this, you can deactivate it via the Ads Preferences Manager (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de).
Use of social plugins
We use social plugins on this website. If you visit a web page that contains such a plugin, your browser may establish a direct connection to the servers of these third-party providers and transmit data about your visitor behaviour to their servers.
Use of Twitter plugins
Our website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) of the microblogging service Twitter, operated by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“Twitter”). The plugins are marked with a Twitter logo, for example in the form of a blue “Twitter bird”. An overview of the Twitter plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://about.twitter.com/en_us/company/brand-resources.html
When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Twitter’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Twitter directly to your browser and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugin, Twitter receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Twitter profile or are not currently logged into Twitter.
This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Twitter server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged into Twitter, Twitter can directly associate your visit to our website with your Twitter account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Tweet” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Twitter server and stored there. The information is also published on your Twitter account and displayed to your contacts there.
The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Twitter as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy: https://twitter.com/privacy
If you do not want Twitter to associate the data collected via our website directly with your Twitter account, you must log out of Twitter before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Twitter plugins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker “NoScript” (http://noscript.net).
Use of LinkedIn plugins
You will find plugins on our website from the social network LinkedIn or LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter “LinkedIn”). You can recognise LinkedIn’s plugins by the corresponding logo or the “Recommend” button (“Empfehlen”). Please note that when you visit our website, the plugin establishes a connection between your internet browser and LinkedIn’s server.
LinkedIn is thereby informed that our website has been visited with your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time, you have the possibility to link content from our website on your LinkedIn profile page. This enables LinkedIn to associate your visit to our website with you or your user account.
You should know that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how LinkedIn uses it.
Further details on data collection and your legal options as well as settings options can be found at LinkedIn. They are available at: http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=privacy_policy&trk=hb_ft_priv.
