5. Use of Social Media Plugins

We use social media plug-ins from Twitter, Facebook and Google+ on our website.
The plugins are the 1-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is passed on to the providers of these plug-ins. You can recognize the provider of the plug-in by the corresponding symbol, which can be found as a button at the bottom of our website. Only if you click on one of the plug-ins, personal data will be transmitted: By activating the plug-in, data is automatically transferred to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the USA). We have no influence on the data collected and data processing processes, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes and the storage periods. Since the plug-in provider collects data particularly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the button with the symbol of the respective plug-in provider via the security settings of your browser.
When you activate a plug-in, the plug-in provider is informed that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our online offer. Further data may also be transmitted. This is independent of whether you have an account with this plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, this data is assigned directly to your account. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider will also save this information in your user account and inform your contacts publicly. If you do not wish to be assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider, you must log out from the corresponding social media platform before activating the button.
The plug-in provider stores this data as user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for not logged in users) for the representation of demand-fair advertisement and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right (see next section for contact information).

Please note that your IP address is anonymised before it is forwarded to Google Analytics by deleting the last 8 bits of the IP addresses («gat._anonymizeIP();») by integrating the code extension «anonymizeIP» (IP masking).

8. Note on Data Transmission to the USA

For reasons of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or domiciled in Switzerland that monitoring measures are in place in the USA by US authorities, which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data was transmitted from Switzerland to the USA. Furthermore, we would like to point out that there are no legal remedies available in the USA for the data subjects from Switzerland which would allow them to gain access to the data concerning them and to obtain their correction or deletion, or that there is no effective legal protection against general access rights of US authorities.
Users residing in an EU Member State are advised that the US does not have an adequate level of data protection from the point of view of the European Union, partly because of the issues mentioned in this section. If we have explained in this privacy policy that recipients of data (such as Google) are based in the USA, we will ensure that your data is protected by our partners at an appropriate level, either by contractual arrangements with these companies or by ensuring that these companies are certified under the EU or Swiss-US privacy label.

9 Data Security

We use maximum technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorised access by third parties. The security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
You should always treat your access data confidentially and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially when you share your computer with others.
We also take internal data protection very seriously. Our employees are continuously trained and are bound to secrecy and compliance with data protection regulations. The service companies commissioned by us are also contractually bound to secrecy and compliance with data protection regulations insofar as their order requires the use of customer data.

10. Storage of Data

We store personal data only as long as it is necessary to use the above-mentioned tracking and analysis services and further processing within the scope of our legitimate interest. We keep contractual data for a longer period of time, as this is prescribed by legal storage obligations. Storage obligations, which oblige us to store data, result from accounting regulations and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communications, contracts concluded and accounting records must be kept 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 tax purposes.

11. Right of access, rectification, cancellation and restriction of processing; right to data transferability

You have the right to request information about the personal data that we store about you. In addition, you have the right to correct incorrect data and to have your personal data deleted, insofar as this does not conflict with any legal obligation to retain data or an event of authorisation which allows us to process the data.
You also have the right to reclaim from us the data that you have provided to us (right of data portability). Upon request, we will also pass the data on to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a common file format.
You can contact us for the above-mentioned purposes by e-mail at info@accroma.com We may, at our sole discretion, require proof of identity to process your applications.

12. Authorities

In Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection Commissioner is responsible for data collection from public authorities and private companies or individuals. Contact: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/de/home/der-edoeb/kontakt.html.
EU citizens have the right to complain to the competent data protection supervisory authority.
