Your privacy is very important to us. Most of our content can be used without registration, however, we use
industry-standard technologies to measure and improve the performance of our website and collect data for
that purpose. In some instances we cooperate with external service providers. If we (or third parties on our
behalf) collect and process personal data, we comply with the requirements of the Swiss Data Protection Act.
In addition, we also orient ourselves according to the requirements of the european GSDVO.
This data protection notice explains how we do this.
Visiting the Website
Our website can also be used without disclosing personal data. Our website server, though, temporarily stores
information about user access. Information includes the IP address, the date and time of the access, the name
and URL of the file accessed, the website from which the access is made (referrer URL), the browser used, the
operating system of the computer used and the name of the user‘s access provider. We use this data to ensure
a smooth connection setup, comfortable use of the website, evaluation of system security and stability as well
as for other administrative purposes.
Subscription for the newsletter
If you have subscribed to the newsletter, we will use your e-mail address to send you the von Bartha news.
You can unsubscribe at any time (via the link in every newsletter or by e-mail to info@vonbartha.com). In
addition to the e-mail address required for registration, you are free to provide your name and, if applicable,
a company name. Your consent forms the basis of this data processing.
To optimize our offer, we use cookies on our website. These are text files that are stored on your computer
and enable the analysis of the use of our website. You can configure your browser in a way that no cookies
are stored on your computer or so that a warning is always displayed before a cookie is installed. A complete
deactivation of cookies may result in the website not functioning or not functioning completely. The data
processed through cookies is required for the above-mentioned purposes in order to safeguard our legitimate
interests.
Through the measures listed below, we ensure the needs-based design and continuous optimization of our
website. These measures allow us to statistically record and evaluate the use of our website. This is our legi-
timate interest. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (Google). Google
Analytics uses cookies to analyze how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about
your use of the website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. We only use
Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that your IP address will be shortened in
Switzerland, the European Union and the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP
address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website in order to provide us with
reports on the activities of users on the website and to provide other services related to the use of the website
and internet usage. Furthermore, Google will transfer this information to third parties if required by law or
if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. The IP address provided by your browser will not be
merged with Google‘s other data. You may object to Google Analytics collecting the data with effect for the
future by installing a deactivation add-on (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en) for your browser.
Besides the possibility to install the deactivation add-on, there is another alternative to prevent Google Ana-
lytics from collecting the data. It is partic-ularly interesting for users of mobile devices. Please click on this
link to deactivate Google Analytics. You thereby install a so-called opt-out cookie that prevents the tracking
of data on the website. The function remains until the opt-out cookie is deleted. If the opt-out cookie has
been deleted, it is sufficient to click on the link again.
WHY DO WE USE SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS?
Social media plug-ins are used on our website to facilitate recommending and shar-ing our articles on the so-
cial networks LinkedIn, Xing, Twitter and Facebook. Responsibility for data protection compliant operation
lies with the respective providers. Data will only be transferred to the mentioned providers if you are logged
in with your profile on the corresponding social network. We have neither influence nor access to cookies
which are placed by providers of social networks. For this reason, reference is made to the privacy statement
of the relevant provider.
We only disclose your personal data to third parties if you expressly consent, if there is a legal obligation or
permission to do so, if disclosure is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or if the disclosure of
data is necessary for the settle-ment of the terms and conditions of the contract with you.
We use technical and organizational measures to protect your data against manipu-lation, loss, destruction or
unauthorized access by third parties. When you visit our website, the SSL encryption method is used.
You have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data port-ability, to revoke your
consent and to object. If you believe that the processing of your data violates the data protection laws, you
can report this to us or the relevant supervisory authority.
We reserve the right to change this data protection notice at any time. Changes will be published on the web-
site. Last revision May 2018.
Responsible for the data processing is Galerie von Bartha & Co. Kannenfeldplatz 6, 4056 Basel
