3.     General information on data processing

3.1. Legal basis for processing your data

The processing operations described below are based on the applicable legal principles.

Your data will be obfuscated, deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. You have the possibility to request the deletion of your data by sending an email to
info@visite.ch . Blocking or deletion of data takes place after expiry of the intended storage periods. However, a blocking or deletion may be opposed by legal or officially ordered retention periods.

Your data will be treated confidentially. We use suitable technical and organisational precautions to protect the data from loss and manipulation as well as from unauthorised access and access by third parties.

When processing your data, no automated decision is made in individual cases, including profiling.

This data protection declaration does not apply to external websites to which you can access via a link on our website. No liability is assumed for these. Please refer to the relevant website for the data protection statement applicable to that website.

The data allows us to improve the quality of the service by recognising trends and usage behaviour. In addition, the storage of said data in log files ensures the functionality of our website. The data is used to optimise our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

For certain online services, e.g. registration for our exchanges, your personal data is required. In the registration form, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. No further data is stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. This does not apply to third parties who have a contractual relationship with the visite association or who work on behalf of visite.

For the use of the contact form, the information of your personal data is required. In doing so, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us when the enquiry is sent. No further data is stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. This does not include third parties with whom the visite association has a contractual relationship or who act on behalf of visite.

You have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter. When you register for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. No further data is stored.

By entering and subscribing to the newsletter, you consent to the processing of data for this purpose. No data will be passed on to third parties in connection with the data processing for sending newsletters. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The newsletter is sent by an external dispatch service provider. Information on the data protection provisions of the dispatch service provider can be found at: https://www.inware.ch/de/datenschutz

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. To do so, use the link provided in the newsletter.

You have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, data transfer, the origin of your data if it has not been collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling. You also have the right to revoke any consent you may have given for the use of your personal data at any time.

All of the above information has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date, correct and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, which means that we cannot guarantee the completeness, correctness and up-to-dateness of information, including of a journalistic and editorial nature. Liability claims regarding damage caused by the use of any information provided, including any kind of information which is incomplete or incorrect, will therefore be rejected.

The publisher may change or delete texts at its own discretion and without notice and is not obliged to update the contents of this website. The publisher, its principals or partners are not responsible for any damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages, alleged to have been caused by the use of this website and consequently assume no liability for such damages.

The publisher also accepts no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links on this website. The operators of the linked sites are exclusively responsible for their content. The publisher thus expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that may offend common decency.
