We also inform you about the duration of the processing of your data, the legal basis for the processing – if such should be necessary – and what rights you have with regard to the processing of your personal data. This privacy policy applies to all your data that we already have or that we will have in the future.

 

Please read this privacy policy carefully. Terms such as “we”, “us”, “our”, etc. refer to ROCHESTEIN GmbH. Terms such as “you”, “your”, “your”, etc. refer to you as a subscriber and user of the “Numéro Switzerland” offers. If you do not agree with the privacy policy, you should refrain from using www.numeromagazine.ch or www.numerohomme.ch.

Responsible for the data processing under this privacy policy is ROCHESTEIN GmbH, Paulistrasse 60, 8834 Schindellegi, Schwyz, Switzerland. For concerns and inquiries in connection with data protection, please contact our internal data protection office, reachable at contact@numeromagazine.ch.

 

3. Personal data and proper treatment

 

3.1 Data origin

When using our offers and in contact with “Numéro Switzerland”, e.g. when visiting our website, when using another of our digital services, when concluding a contract, when registering for a user account, or in contact with our employees, we collect certain data. 3.2 What is personal data?The term “personal data” used here includes all information that is or can be assigned to you as a user of the offers of “Numéro Switzerland.” Regardless of whether these were entered by you or collected from you or we have received them in any other way.

 

However, the term “personal data” within the meaning of this data protection declaration does not include the personal data that is entered by yourself and managed by you (hereinafter also “customer data”). Such customer data is therefore not the subject of this privacy policy. If you provide us with personal data of other persons (e.g. email, name, etc.), please make sure that these persons are aware of this privacy policy and only provide us with their personal data if you are entitled to do so by applicable data protection law.

 

3.3 The proper treatment of personal data

 

“Numéro Switzerland” is responsible for monitoring all your personal data. This affects the data that we collect, process, and use in connection with the use of the offers of “Numéro Switzerland” by you or in any other way.

 

However, we are not responsible for monitoring customer data. We collect, process, and use customer data exclusively in the capacity of a data processor on behalf of the respective user and under the applicable Swiss data protection laws.

 

If you use our offers, we also assume that you are the sole responsible body concerning personal data in the areas you manage concerning “Numéro Switzerland” within the meaning of data protection law. You are therefore responsible for the legality of the collection, processing, and use of customer data under the statutory provisions. You thus ensure that you are entitled to commission “Numéro Switzerland” and the transmission of customer data to “Numéro Switzerland” as an order data processor in this context. The provisions on order data processing can be found under section 9.

 

3.4 Our handling of your data (processing purpose)

 

We collect, process, and use your personal data for the following purposes:

• To manage, operate, maintain, and improve the offers of “Numéro Switzerland”;
• To assess your eligibility for certain types of offers;
• To support the improvement and personalization of our services;
• For analysis and research of customer behaviour;
• To answer your inquiries in connection with the offers of the “Numéro Switzerland”;
• To communicate with you about other matters; for example, sending confirmations, reminders, or information about our offers;
• To comply with legal obligations; to counteract the illegal use of our offers; to resolve disputes and enforce our contractual agreements;

• For other purposes to which you have agreed in individual cases;
• In any other way within the framework of the applicable legal provisions.

 

If required by law, we ask for your consent before collecting, processing, and using your personal data for the aforementioned purposes. If we would like to use your personal data for another purpose, we will also inform you of this. We only do this if it is required and permissible within the scope of the applicable legal regulations or if you have given your consent.

 

For the above purposes, only “Numéro Switzerland” and its third-party service providers have access to your personal data.

 

To use our offers, you may have to provide certain personal data that are necessary or required by law for the commencement and processing of the contractual relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual obligations. Without this data, the majority of us will not be able to conclude the contract and execute it. It is also necessary to log access to our digital services and the associated collection of connection data (such as the IP address). This takes place automatically during use and cannot be turned off for individual users. So if you do not agree with the collection of such data, you should refrain from using our offers.

 

Should “Numéro Switzerland” change its structure and carry out a merger, acquisition, division, or liquidation (“transaction”) or carry out the sale of shares or assets, your data may be passed on or disclosed to such a transaction or when evaluating such a transaction (including declarations of intent and/or due diligence) by “Numéro Switzerland” to or transferred to an acquiring company.

In addition to cookies, we may also use other technologies (e.g. pixels, web beacons, tags, advertising IDs) to analyze the use of our services, to personalize our services, and to display offers and advertising tailored to you. When sending newsletters and e- mails, for example, we can use technologies that allow us to analyze which content is interesting for our users and whether, when, and how you react to our offers (e.g. by downloading images in an e-mail, clicking on URLs in an e-mail or on a website, filling out form data, etc.).

We integrate plugins of social networks (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Dailymotion) into our services. These plugins make it easier to share content on these platforms.

 

When visiting our offers, which contain such plugins, a connection to the server of the respective provider can be automatically established. Certain data (such as the time of visit to the service, browser type, and IP address) are collected and stored by it. If you have a user account with one of these providers, they can assign this information to your profile. If you also interact with these plugins (e.g. by clicking the “Like” button orby submitting a comment), this information will also be transmitted to this provider, stored there and, if necessary, published. When using a social login service (e.g. Facebook Connect), the provider can provide us with personal data such as name, e- mail address, and profile picture that are stored with him about you.

 

Please note that their terms of use and data protection apply to the data processing of these third parties.

We may commission third parties to provide certain services, e.g. in the field of IT, operation of applications, administration, printing, shipping, etc. and to process and store data (so-called “order data processor”). Order data processors can have access to personal data and process it on our behalf. In doing so, we oblige the processors to comply with data protection law and to process data only in the way we do ourselves.

6.1 What do we do to protect you?

 

“Numéro Switzerland” is aware of the importance of data security and data protection. That is why we have made the use of our offers as safe as possible. We have put in set position appropriate safety precautions. This includes technical, and organizational measures against unauthorized access, improper use, alteration, unlawful or accidental destruction as well as accidental loss, both online and offline.If personal data that is not public anyway is transferred to a country without adequate data protection, we ensure adequate data protection by using sufficient contractual guarantees, in particular, based on the EU standard contractual clauses, Binding Corporate Rules, or we rely on the exception of consent, the execution of the contract, the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims, overriding public interests or because it is necessary to protect the integrity of a data subject. Where the applicable data protection law provides for this, you can obtain a copy of the contractual guarantees concerning your personal data at contact@numeromagazine.ch or find out where such a copy can be obtained.

We reserve the right to blacken such copies for data protection reasons or for reasons of confidentiality. In addition, we must point out that despite all our efforts to protect your personal data from possible risks and dangers, there is no absolute security on the Internet.

Therefore, we ask you to support our IT security efforts and not to disclose sensitive or, in a specific case, unnecessary data. In addition, you can help us protect your personal data by logging out when you leave an area protected by user login.

Individual personal data is also subject to legally binding retention obligations of ten or more years, which we must comply with.

Personal data that arise in connection with the use of our offers (e.g. logs, logs, analyses, etc.) and that are not subject to such retention or limitation periods, we usually delete earlier as soon as we are no longer interested in processing.
