Privacy policy

Vendtec GmbH, Grabenstrasse 15A, 6340 Baar is the operator of the website www.ignite-official.ch and therefore responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data and for the compliance of the data processing with the applicable data protection law.

Data protection in accordance with the legal basis

Because your trust is important to us, we take data protection very seriously and attach particular importance to security. We comply with the legal provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (OFADP), the Telecommunications Act (TCA) and all other applicable data protection provisions under Swiss or European law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We ask you to take note of the following information so that you know what personal data we collect from you and for what purposes we use it.

A. Data processing in connection with our website

1. use of our website

When you visit our website, our servers temporarily store every access in a log file. As is usual with every connection to a web server, the following technical data is recorded and stored by us until it is automatically deleted:

the IP address of the requesting computer
the name of the owner of the IP address range
the date and time of access
the website from which our website is accessed
the name and URL of the retrieved file
the status code
the operating system
the browser you are using
the transmission protocol used
If applicable, your user name from a registration/authentication

This data is collected and processed for the purpose of facilitating the use of our website, ensuring permanent system security and stability, optimising our website and for statistical purposes.

In addition, in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorised or abusive use of our website, the IP address is analysed together with other data for the purpose of investigation and defence and, if necessary, used in criminal proceedings to identify and prosecute the user concerned under civil and criminal law. This is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

2. making contact

If you contact us by e-mail, via a contact form or by other means, the personal data you provide (e.g. name and e-mail address) will be stored by us in order to answer your enquiry. The personal data collected in this context will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected and there are no legal obligations to retain it.

3rd Newsletter

If you subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, the data you provide when registering will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter, unless you consent to further use. You can cancel your subscription at any time using the cancellation option provided in each newsletter.

B. Web analysis and tracking

4. cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. A cookie is a text file that is created when a website is visited and temporarily stored on the website visitor's system. When the server of our website is called up again by the website visitor, the visitor's browser sends the previously received cookie back to the server. The server can then analyse the information obtained through this process. Cookies can be used, for example, to control advertising or to make surfing a website easier.

If you wish to prevent the use of cookies, you can do so by changing the local settings in your Internet browser (e.g. Safari, Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, etc.), i.e. you can partially or completely deactivate the storage of cookies. Please note, however, that the use of our website may be restricted without cookies.

5. google analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc («Google»). Google Analytics uses so-called «cookies», i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, by activating IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. In these cases, we ensure through contractual guarantees that Google Inc. complies with an appropriate level of data protection. According to Google Inc., the IP address is never associated with other user data.

You can find more information about the web analysis service we use on the Google Analytics website.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Remarketing

Vendtec GmbH has integrated the services of Google Remarketing on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display adverts to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing enables a company to create user-related adverts and consequently to display adverts relevant to the interests of the Internet user.

The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display adverts relevant to your interests. Google Remarketing enables us to display adverts via the Google advertising network or on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. We have already explained what cookies are above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognise the visitor to our website when he or she subsequently visits websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a website on which the Google Remarketing service is integrated is accessed, the data subject's internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives knowledge of personal data such as the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

The cookie is used to store personal information, e.g. the websites visited by the user concerned. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google in the USA. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.

The data subject also has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google AdWords

Vendtec GmbH has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that enables advertisers to place adverts both in Google search results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords that are used to display an advert in Google search results exclusively when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the adverts are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant adverts on the websites of third-party companies and in the search results of the Google search engine and to display third-party adverts on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advert, Google places a so-called conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. We have already explained what cookies are above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If it has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, e.g. the shopping basket of an online shop, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has reached our website via an AdWords ad has generated sales, i.e. whether they have completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that would allow the data subject to be identified.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google in the USA. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

C. Social media

8 Our presence in social media

In order to communicate with customers, interested parties and users connected via social networks and to inform them about our services, we are represented on social media (currently Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube). When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of the respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process the data of users who communicate with us via social networks, e.g. write posts on our social media pages or send us messages.

D. Bookings and events

9. bookings / reservations

For bookings and reservations, we offer the use of various booking platforms on our website. As part of a booking, we process the contract data (e.g. booking confirmation), contract data (e.g. term, customer/partner category), payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history) as well as the contact and communication data (e.g. email, telephone) of the respective contact persons. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

As part of our collaboration with booking platforms, we may also receive communication data from users (e.g. name, telephone, email) for the purpose of confirming appointments and bookings. This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Finally, we may be informed by the platform operators about disputes in connection with a booking. In this context, we may receive data about the booking process, which may include a copy of the booking confirmation as proof of the actual completion of the booking. We process this data for the purpose of safeguarding and enforcing our claims. This is to be regarded as our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Please also note the data protection information of the respective provider.

10. retention period

We only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the use of the above-mentioned tracking services and further processing in connection with our legitimate interest. We store contractual data for longer, as this is required by statutory retention obligations. Retention obligations that require us to retain data arise from accounting and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business correspondence, concluded contracts and accounting documents must be stored for up to 10 years. If we no longer need this data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and taxation purposes.

11. your rights as a data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Each data subject has the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If you wish to exercise this right to confirmation, you can contact the controller at any time.

b) Right to information

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information from the controller free of charge at any time. In addition, the data subject is entitled to the following information:

the purposes of processing
the categories of personal data processed

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If you wish to exercise this right to information, you can contact the controller at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

If you wish to exercise this right to rectification, you can contact the controller at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer required.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
The personal data was processed unlawfully.
The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and you wish to request the erasure of personal data stored by Vendtec GmbH, you can contact the controller at any time. The controller will ensure that the request for erasure is complied with immediately.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the controller to restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and you wish to request the restriction of the personal data stored by Vendtec GmbH, you can contact the data controller at any time.

f) Right to data portability

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

If you wish to exercise this right to data portability, you can contact the controller at any time.

g) Right to object

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.

In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If you wish to exercise this right to object, you can contact the controller directly.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the Vendtec GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

If you wish to exercise this right in relation to automated decision-making, you can contact the controller at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If you wish to exercise this right to withdraw your consent, you can contact the controller at any time.

12. data protection for applications and in the application process

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of carrying out the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents to the controller electronically, e.g. by email.

If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller.
