Should you have granted us consent to process your personal data for particular purposes (for example, when you subscribe to receive newsletters), we process your personal data within the scope of, and based on, said consent, in so far as we have no other legal basis and we need such. Any consent granted can be revoked at any time, which has no effect, however, on any data processing that has already been carried out.

We use various technical and organisational measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, illegitimate use, abuse, modification and damage.

In addition, personal data is stored for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was gathered, and as long as a legitimate interest in said personal data exists, e.g. in order to implement or defend legal claims or for archival or IT security purposes. Should your personal data no longer be required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will, if possible, be destroyed or anonymised.

 

8. To whom can personal data be passed on?

We may pass on your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes, as described in the present data privacy statement, to the following trustworthy third parties:

9. When is data transmitted abroad?

The above recipients can predominantly be found in Switzerland. We may, however, also transmit your personal data to foreign recipients, or service providers deployed by us in Europe and the USA, including those countries which do not provide a level of data privacy equivalent to that offered under Swiss law. We will only transmit data in that way if it is necessary for the fulfilment of an agreement with the data subject or an agreement that has been concluded in the interests of the latter, as well as in regard to the implementation and defence of legal claims, or if you have granted us your consent to the latter. If we transmit data to a country without appropriate statutory data privacy, we ensure an appropriate level of protection by means of corresponding agreements, or rely on the aforementioned statutory exceptional circumstances, as provided for by law.

 

10. Newsletter

We issue a regular newsletter. You can register for our newsletter on our website. Via the input mask to sign up for the newsletter, we gather the following data: E-mail address, form of address, name and organisation. In regard to the despatch of our newsletter, we process your data until such time as you revoke your consent (you can revoke your consent at any time). In regard to the subscription to and despatch of our newsletter, we use the services of Mailchimp, a marketing platform of the company The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The Mailchimp server is located in the USA. That means that your data may be transferred to the USA and stored or processed there. Mailchimp, moreover, deploys third-party providers which process personal data on its behalf, in order to provide services for Mailchimp, and the servers of the latter may be located outside the EU and UK. For an appropriate level of protection, corresponding agreements (standard contractual clauses), as well as further obligations of Mailchimp (“Data Processing Addendum”), are deployed, accessible at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/ ).

We may partially - and in so far as permitted - also incorporate visible and invisible image elements into our newsletters, through the accessing of which, from our servers, we can ascertain whether, and when, you have opened the e-mail, so that, also here, we can measure, and better understand how you use our offers and can customise them to suit you. You can block this in your e-mail program, in so far as the default settings do not already do so.

By registering, you grant us your consent to process the data specified for the regular despatch of the newsletter to the e-mail address specified by you. In addition, you thereby consent to your details being transmitted to Mailchimp (in the USA) and to said above-mentioned technologies being deployed for the statistical evaluation of the usage pattern and the optimisation of the newsletter. We process your personal data for the newsletter based on said consent, in so far as we have no other legal basis and we need such. The consent granted may be revoked at any time.

 

11. We deploy cookies, Google Analytics and comparable technologies

When you use our website, cookies and comparable technologies with which your browser or device can be identified are stored on your PC. Cookies are small text files which can be stored on your hard drive allocated to the browser used by you, and through which certain information is provided to us. If you, for example, access this website again, we can recognise you in that way, even if we do not know who you are. Cookies are not able to execute any programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve the purpose of making the range of our online services more user-friendly and effective. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can, however, configure your browser setting in accordance with your wishes, and refuse, for instance, to accept any third-party cookies, or all cookies. We would like to point out that, in such cases, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website.

Also in the case of the newsletter and other marketing e-mails, we may partially, and - in so far as permitted - deploy visible and invisible image elements (see, in that respect, Clause 10 below).

Among other things, we deploy Google Analytics or comparable services on our websites. This is a service of third parties which may be located in any country on earth (in the case of Google Analytics, it Google Ireland (based in Ireland), which relies on Google LLC (based in the USA) as an order processor (both "Google"), www.google.com), with which we measure the use of the website (not on a basis that enables us to gather personal data) and can evaluate it. Permanent cookies are likewise deployed for this purpose, which the service provider places. We have configured the service so that the IP addresses of visitors are shortened by Google in Europe before being forwarded to the USA and thus cannot be traced. We have turned off the “Data Forwarding” and “Signals” settings. Although we can assume that the information we share with Google is not personal data for Google, it is possible that Google can draw conclusions about the identity of visitors from this data for its own purposes, create personal profiles and link this data to the Google accounts of these individuals. You can object to the collection of data by Google Analytics with effect for the future by installing a deactivation add-on (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB) for your browser. In so far as you have registered with the service provider yourself, the service provider actually knows you. Your personal data is then processed by the service provider, on its own responsibility, in accordance with its data privacy provisions. The service provider will also inform us how our respective website is used (no details about you personally).

We also deploy, on our websites, plug-ins of social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google+, Pinterest or Instagram. That is always apparent to you (typically via corresponding icons). We have configured these elements in such a way that they are routinely deactivated. Should you activate them (by clicking on them), the operators of the respective social networks can discern that you are on our website, and where, and may use this information for their own purposes. Your personal data is then processed on the responsibility of said operator, on its own responsibility, in accordance with its data privacy provisions. We do not receive any details about you from it.

 

12. Links to external websites

For external websites, which you can access via a link on our website, this data privacy statement does not apply. Kinderkrebs Schweiz does not monitor external websites, and does not accept any responsibility for how external websites place their own cookies or process personal data. Please inform yourself on the respective website about the data privacy statement and general conditions valid for said website.

 

13.  Is there any automated decision-making or profiling?

We do not personally use any fully automated decision-making with legal effect. For the purpose of targeted communication and fund-raising activities, as well as improving our offers and services in order to fulfil the objectives and tasks under our Articles of Association, we process your data in a partially automated manner, in order to evaluate certain individual aspects.

 

14. What rights do you have?

You have the following rights vis-à-vis us in regard to your personal data:

  • The right to information about your personal data stored with us, and how we process it;
  • the right to rectification or erasure;
  • the right to restriction of the processing;
  • the right to object to the processing:
  • to be handed over certain personal data for the purpose of its being transferred to another office (data portability);
  • the right to revocation of consent granted by you to certain data processing activities.

Should you consider that the processing of your personal data by us is unlawful, you also have the right to appeal to a competent regulatory authority. The competent data privacy authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Privacy and Publicity Officer (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

 

15. Which contact person can you get in touch with?

We would ask you to direct any questions and concerns that you may have by e-mail to: info@childhoodcancer.ch or by post to: Kinderkrebs Schweiz, Dornacherstrasse 154, CH-4053 Basle, Switzerland.
