This privacy policy informs which personal data we process in connection with our activities and operations including our weltcup-adelboden.ch website. In particular, we provide information on what personal data we process, for what purpose, how and where. We also inform about the rights of persons whose data we process.
Individual or additional activities and operations may be subject to additional privacy policies as well as other legal documents such as General Terms and Conditions (GTC), Terms of Use or Conditions of Participation.
Responsibility for the processing of personal data:
Ski-Weltcup Adelboden AG
Dorfstrasse 40
3715 Adelboden
Switzerland
We point out if there are other persons responsible for the processing of personal data in individual cases.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person about whom we process personal data.
Processing includes any processing of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, such as querying, matching, adapting, archiving, storing, reading out, disclosing, procuring, recording, collecting, deleting, publishing, arranging, organising, saving, modifying, disseminating, linking, destroying and using personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law such as, in particular, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, DPA) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DPA).
We process those personal data that are necessary to carry out our activities and operations in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such personal data may fall in particular into the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or marginal data and usage data, location data, sales data and contract and payment data.
We process personal data for the duration that is required for the respective purpose(s) or by law. Personal data for whcih processing is no longer required is anonymised or deleted.
We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may process personal data together with third parties or transfer it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialised providers whose services we use. We also guarantee data protection for such third parties.
In principle, we process personal data only with the consent of the persons concerned. If and to the extent that the processing is permitted for other legal reasons, we may waive the requirement to obtain consent. For example, we may process personal data without consent in order to fulfill a contract, to comply with legal obligations or to protect overriding interests.
In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject voluntarily provides us with when contacting us – for example, by mail, e-mail, instant messaging, contact form, social media or telephone – or when registering for a user account. We may store such information, for example, in an address book, in a customer relationship management system (CRM system) or with comparable tools. If we receive data transmitted via other persons, the transmitting persons undertake to ensure data protection with respect to these persons as well as to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.
We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly available sources or collect in the course of our activities and operations, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.
We process personal data about applicants to the extent that it is required for assessing their suitability for an employment relationship or for the subsequent execution of an employment contract. The required personal data results in particular from the information requested, for example in the context of a job advertisement. We also process personal data that applicants voluntarily provide or publish, in particular as part of cover letters, resumes and other application documents as well as online profiles.
We generally process personal data in Switzerland. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process it or have it processed there.
We may disclose personal data to all states and territories on Earth as well as elsewhere in the universe, provided that the law there guarantees adequate data protection in accordance with a decision of the Swiss Federal Council.
We may disclose personal data to countries whose laws do not ensure adequate data protection, provided that adequate data protection is ensured for other reasons. Appropriate data protection may be ensured, for example, through appropriate contractual agreements, on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other appropriate guarantees. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the special data protection requirements are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract. We would be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees upon request.
We grant data subjects all rights in accordance with applicable data protection law. In particular, data subjects have the following rights:
We may suspend, restrict or refuse the exercise of the rights of data subjects to the extent permitted by law. We may inform data subjects of any requirements they must meet in order to exercise their rights under data protection law. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part with reference to business secrets or the protection of other persons. We may also, for example, refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part with reference to statutory retention obligations.
We may exceptionally provide for costs for the exercise of rights. We shall inform data subjects in advance of any costs.
We are obliged to take appropriate measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.
Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection rights through legal channels or to file a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
The data protection supervisory authority for private data controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
We take suitable technical and organisational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
Access to our website is via transport encryption (SSL/TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated as HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.
Our digital communications - like all digital communications in principle - are subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion and other monitoring by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police agencies and other security authorities.
We may use cookies. Cookies – our own cookies (first-party cookies) as well as cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) – are data that is stored in the browser. Such stored data need not be limited to traditional cookies in text form.
Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. In particular, cookies enable us to recognise a browser the next time they visit our website and thus, for example, to measure the reach of our website. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.
Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated and deleted in the browser settings at any time. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We actively request, at least if and to the extent necessary, the express consent to the use of cookies.
For cookies used for performance and reach measurement or for advertising, a general objection (opt-out) is possible for numerous services via AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).
We may collect the following information for each visit to our website, provided that this information is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: date and time including time zone, IP address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual sub-page of our website accessed including amount of data transferred and website last accessed in the same browser window (referrer).
We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is required in order to provide our website in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner and to be able to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data – also by third parties or with the help of third parties.
We may use tracking pixels on our website. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels are small, usually invisible images that are automatically retrieved when you visit our website, and they also come from third parties whose services we use. Tracking pixels cancollect the same information as in server log files.
We send notifications and messages via e-mail and via other communication channels such as instant messaging or SMS.
Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message was opened and which web links were clicked. Such web links and tracking pixels may also track usage of notifications and communications on a personal basis. We need this statistical recording of usage for performance and reach measurement in order to be able to send notifications and messages based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients effectively and in user-friendly manner as well as permanently, securely and reliably.
In principle, you must expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and your other contact addresses, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. For any consent, we use the "double opt-in" procedure where possible. This means that you receive a e-mail with a web link that you must click to confirm, so that unauthorised third parties cannot misuse it. We may log such consents including IP address, date and time for evidence and security reasons.
In principle, you can object to receiving notifications and messages such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can simultaneously object to the statistical recording of usage for performance and reach measurement. Required notifications and messages in connection with our activities and operations remain reserved.
We send notifications and messages with the help of specialised service providers.
We use in particular:
We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to communicate with interested persons and to provide information about our activities and operations. In connection with such platforms, personal data may also be processed outside of Switzerland.
The General Terms and Conditions (GTC), Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms also apply in each case. These provisions inform in particular about the rights of data subjects directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, which includes, for example, the right to information.
We use services of specialized third parties to perform our activities and operations in a durable, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. With such services, we can, among other things, embed functions and content in our website. In the case of such embedding, the services used record the IP addresses of the users at least temporarily for technically compelling reasons.
For necessary security-related, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data in connection with our activities and operations in aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised form. This is, for example, performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.
We use in particular:
We use services from specialised third parties to make use of required digital infrastructure in connection with our activities and operations. These include, for example, hosting and storage services from selected providers.
We use in particular:
We use specialised audio and video conferencing services to communicate online. We can use them, for example, to hold virtual meetings or conduct online lessons and webinars. For participation in audio and video conferences, the legal texts of the individual services such as privacy policies and terms of use apply in addition.
Depending on the life situation, we recommend muting the microphone by default when participating in audio or video conferences, as well as blurring the background or superimposing a virtual background.
We use in particular:
We use third-party services and plugins to embed features and content from social media platforms and to enable sharing of content on social media platforms and other platforms.
We use in particular:
We use third-party services to embed maps into our website.
We use in particular:
We use services from specialised third parties to enable direct playback of digital audio and video content, such as music or podcasts.
We use in particular:
We use third-party services to embed documents on our website. Such documents may include, for example, forms, PDF files, presentations, tables and text documents. We can thus enable not only viewing, but also editing or commenting on such documents.
We use in particular:
We use third-party services to embed selected fonts as well as icons, logos and symbols into our website.
We engage in e-commerce and use third-party services to successfully provide services, content or goods.
We use in particular:
We use specialised service providers to process our customers' payments securely and reliably. The legal texts of the individual service providers, such as the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) or Privacy Policy, also apply to the processing of payments.
We use in particular:
We use the option to display targeted advertisements for our activities and operations with third parties such as social media platforms and search engines.
In particular, we would like to use such advertising to reach people who are already interested in our activities and operations or who might be interested in them(remarketing and targeting). For this purpose, we may transmit corresponding – possibly also personal – information to third parties that enable such advertising. We can also determine whether our advertising is successful, in particular whether it leads to visits to our website (conversion tracking).
Third parties with whom we advertise and where you are registered as a user may be able to assign the use of our website to your profile there.
We use the possibility of embedding advertising from third parties – in principle against compensation – on our website. Third parties whose advertising is embedded on our website and where you are registered as a user may be able to assign the use of our website to your profile there.
We use in particular:
We try to determine how our online offering is used. In this context, we can, for example, measure the performance and reach of our activities and operations as well as the effect of third-party links to our website. But we can also, for example, try out and compare how different parts or versions of our online offering are used ("A/B test" method). Based on the results of the performance and reach measurement, we can, in particular, correct errors, enhance popular content or make improvements to our online offering.
In most cases, the IP addresses of individual users are stored for performance and reach measurement. In this case, IP addresses are generally shortened ("IP masking") in order to follow the principle of data economy through the corresponding pseudonymisation.
Cookies may be used for performance and reach measurement and user profiles may be created. Any user profiles created include, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the approximate location. In principle, any user profiles are created exclusively pseudonymously and are not used to identify individual users. Individual services of third parties with which users are registered may be able to assign the use of our online services to the user account or user profile of the respective service.
We use in particular:
We have created this privacy statement with the data protection generator of Datenschutzpartner.
We can adapt and supplement this privacy policy at any time. We will inform about such adaptations and additions in an appropriate form, in particular by publishing the respective current privacy policy on our website.
