Data protection
Data protection is of great importance to F.A.G. INTERNATIONAL. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, as well as with this Privacy Policy. The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. As far as our role is concerned, personal data is collected, for e.g. when contacting us by email, which always occurs on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for your personal data. However, we would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (for e.g. communication by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of personal data against access by third parties is not possible.
Business-related data processing
As part of our business activities, we process contract data, payment data and such, which are necessary for efficient cooperation with our clients and partners, as well as for the provision of our services. This data is also used for internal purposes, including the processing of data within the scope of administrative, organizational and financial accounting functions, as well as for the purpose of secure archiving. This data is stored and managed locally.
Information about customers, suppliers or partners from publicly accessible sources – which are mainly company-related data – are stored permanently. In this context, the data may be passed on to trustees, auditors, etc. or access may be granted to them.
Storage of personal data
We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for us to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations, or otherwise for the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation, the processing, up to the termination of a contract) as well as beyond that in accordance with the storage and documentation obligations imposed by law.
It is possible that personal data may be stored for the period during which claims can be asserted against our company, and insofar as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so, or justified business interests require this (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted.
Cookies
The Financial Asset Group AG website is compatible with the use of cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or saved by your Internet browser, and serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Most cookies are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your computer until you delete them. These cookies may enable us to recognize you the next time you visit our website.
Although cookies are set by various functionality implementations of this website, Financial Asset Group AG does not use them specifically to track users. However, due to the WordPress theme used, they cannot be removed either. By using our website you therefore agree to the use of these techniques. If you do not want this, you must set your browser accordingly.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the cookie settings, or only allow cookies in individual cases, or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Rights of the data subject
You have the right to information about your personal data and the correction and deletion thereof. Furthermore, you have the right to the restriction and objection of our data processing, and to the disclosure of certain personal data which is transferred to another location (so-called data portability) within the scope of the data protection laws applicable to you, and to the extent provided for therein. Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce the statutory restrictions, for example, if we are obliged to store or process certain data, or have an overriding interest in it (insofar as we may invoke it), or need it for asserting claims. If there are costs incurred for you, we will inform you in advance.
Please also note that exercising these rights may conflict with contractual agreements which may have consequences such as premature termination of the contract or cost consequences. In such a case, we will inform you in advance when this is not already contractually regulated.
To exercise such rights usually requires that you clearly prove your identity (for e.g. with a copy of your identity card when your identity is otherwise not clear or cannot be verified).
Furthermore, every data subject has the right to enforce his/her claims in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The responsible data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (https://www.edoeb.admin.ch).
Changes
We may revise this Privacy Policy at any time without notice. The current version published on our website shall apply. If the Privacy Policy is part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of the change by email or other appropriate means in the event of an update.
Data protection provisions on the use and application of Google Analytics
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the surveying, collecting, and analysing of data based on the behaviour of visitors on websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (“referrer”), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. A web analysis tool is mainly used to optimise a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the suffix “_gat._anonymizeIp” for the web analysis via Google Analytics. Using this addition, Google shortens and anonymises the IP address of the data subject when accessing our Internet pages from a Member State of the European Union, or from another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing us the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Cookies have already been explained above. The placement of this cookie enables Google to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of this website’s individual pages is accessed that is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser that is used on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which allows Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently enable commission settlements.
Cookies are used to store personal information such as the time of access, the location from which the website was accessed, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Whenever you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
As already described above, the data subject can prevent cookies being set by our website at any time by using an appropriate setting on the Internet browser that is being used, and therefore permanently object to cookies being set. Setting the Internet browser to be used in this way would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, it is possible for the data subject to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google views the installation of the browser add-on as an objection. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within his/her control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be retrieved on https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and on http://www.google.com/analytics/terms.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail on https://www.google.com/analytics/.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our recording purposes. In our case, this takes place after 26 months.
