The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests of the responsible party).

The use of cookies simplifies the use of websites for the user. Certain pages cannot be called up or cannot be called up without errors without their use.

Common browsers offer the setting option to not allow cookies. You can then set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

4. collection of data and information when you access this site (logfiles)

The website of Softub Schweiz AG collects certain general data and information with each call. This data is stored in the log files of our server. The following can be recorded

1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

4. the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of an access,

When using these general data and information, the Softub Schweiz AG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests of the responsible party).

This information is required in order to

1. display the contents of the internet page correctly,
2. optimize the contents of the website as well as the advertising for the same,
3. to ensure the long-term functionality of the IT systems and technology of the website, and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack or other criminal offences.

These reasons also constitute the legitimate interest for this data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Further legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e DSGVO (public interest).

The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

5 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc ("Google"). Google uses cookies (see point 3.). The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and Internet use. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened 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 shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data from Google.

Users may prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on their browser software; users may also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

For more information about Google's use of data for advertising purposes, settings and opt-out options, please visit Google's websites: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/ ("Data use by Google when you use our partners' websites or apps"),

www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads ("Data Use for Advertising Purposes"),

www.google.de/settings/ads ("Manage information Google uses to serve ads to you"), and

www.google.com/ads/preferences/ ("Determine what ads Google shows you").

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising and thus also serves the financing and customer-oriented use, adaptation and updating of the website.

We have concluded an order data processing contract with Google.

6. remarketing

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated ID's of users, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device ad advertising.

However, there is no collection of personal data. When you click on an ad placed by Google, only a cookie for so-called conversion tracking is stored on your computer. This enables Google and its partner websites to place ads based on previous visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

For more information and the privacy policy, please see Google's privacy policy at: www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

7 GA Audiences

On this website, we use GA Audiences, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Through this service, data is collected and stored, from which pseudinymized usage profiles are created. Through this technology, users who have visited our website can be shown targeted advertising from us on other external pages of the Google Partner Network. For this purpose, a cookie is set on your computer, which is used to analyze user behavior when visiting the website and can then be used for targeted advertising. By setting the cookie, no personal data is stored and processed. If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising, you can disable Google's use of cookies for these purposes by following the instructions at www.google.de/settings/ads/onweb.

8. contact option via the website

We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

For better individualization of the offers, we use the newletter tracking service Cleverreach of the company CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede/Germany.

With the help of this service, we can track the use of the newsletters sent and thus better individualize our offers. This includes, for example, determining whether and when the newsletters are opened or which links in the newsletter are clicked. The evaluations are used to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

For these evaluations, both the newsletter recipients' data are stored on cleverreach's servers.

In the process, the following data is collected and transferred to the provider in addition to the above-mentioned data:

- IP address
- Time of opening the newsletter

We request your consent for the corresponding use of the data when you register. We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider.

The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para.1 lit. f DSGVO if the user has given his consent. Our interest is the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system.
