With this data protection declaration, we, the HOG Chapter Zurich, inform you about the processing of personal data in connection with our offers including our corresponding hogzh.ch website (hereinafter the "Website").

Our offer is subject to Swiss data protection law and any applicable foreign data protection laws, in particular that of the European Union (EU). The EU recognizes that Switzerland has legislation that ensures adequate data protection.

Special, supplementary or further data protection declarations may exist for individual and additional offers and services.

1. Processing of personal data

1.1 Personal data is all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person. A data subject is a person who is used to process personal data. Processing includes all handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

1.2 We process the personal data that is necessary in order to guarantee the offer permanently, securely and reliably (Art. 6 Para. 1 b and f of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR). We also process the personal data that people themselves disclose when using the offer and website - for example when placing an order, contacting us or subscribing to a newsletter. The disclosure of unnecessary personal data is voluntary.

1.3 We always process personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection law, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG). If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no general legal basis for such processing, such as the need for the fulfillment of a contract, we obtain the consent of the person concerned (Art. 6 Para. 1 a GDPR).

1.4 Every time you visit our website, we collect general data - as is standard when accessing every website - which is saved in server log files for each individual access. For access, we record the respective date and time, the Internet Protocol (IP) address used, the operating systems and browsers used, including versions, the individual websites accessed and the website via which visitors came to our website (so-called referrer). We do not identify any persons with this general data. We need this general information in order to deliver the website, to keep it functioning permanently and to be able to continuously improve it (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). We process this general data anonymously and evaluate it statistically to ensure data security for the offer so that we can ensure the protection of personal data.

1.5 We only keep personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes.

1.6 We can have personal data processed with the help of third parties and third parties - in each case also abroad. Such order processors process personal data on our behalf and only in the context of this data protection declaration.

1.7 We can disclose personal data to companies - also abroad - that are connected to us. We ensure that such companies process the personal data concerned exclusively within the scope of this data protection declaration.

1.8 We do not disclose any personal data to third parties without the consent of the person concerned. Exceptions to this are legal obligations to disclose and to enforce your own legal claims and to protect such legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

1.9 The legal basis according to the GDPR for the processing of personal data, which is necessary for the protection of vital interests of data subjects or other persons, forms in particular Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR.

1.10 Legal basis according to GDPR for the processing of personal data, which are necessary for the protection of our legitimate interests, but which are not covered by any other legal basis, is art. 6 para. 1 let. f GDPR, provided that no fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights or interests of the data subjects that require the protection of personal data predominate, especially if the data subjects are children. When processing personal data in this context, our legitimate interest lies in guaranteeing our own entrepreneurial activity for the benefit of the general public, owners and employees.

2. Organizational and technical measures

2.1 We take appropriate and suitable organizational and technical measures to ensure data protection and data security. When processing personal data abroad or by third parties, we ensure that adequate data protection is guaranteed.

2.2 In spite of organizational and technical measures, the processing of personal data on the Internet can generally have security gaps, so that absolute data protection and absolute data security cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to disclose personal data to us in another way, in particular by post.

2.3 The website is accessed using transport encryption (SSL / TLS).

2.4 Access to the website is - like basically every internet use - subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion, as well as other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the EU, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police stations and other security authorities.

3. Cookies and tracking pixels

3.1 We can use cookies and web beacons for the website - also from third parties. Cookies are, in particular, small text files that are stored on the end devices of visitors to the website - for example on smartphones and other computers.

3.2 Cookies and tracking pixels are used - also for third parties (third-party cookies) - to deliver the website, keep it permanently functional and to be able to continuously improve it (Art. 6 Para. 1 b and f GDPR). We also need cookies to be able to process orders (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR).

3.3 Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated or deleted in the browser settings at any time. Tracking pixels can be blocked at any time in the browser settings or with appropriate browser extensions. If cookies are completely or partially deactivated and tracking pixels are blocked, the offer may be less user-friendly or may no longer be able to be used in full.

4. Rights of data subjects

4.1 Individuals about whom we process personal data can receive a confirmation free of charge whether personal data will be processed by us and, if so, request information about our processing of their personal data, restrict the processing of their personal data, exercise their right to data portability, correct their personal data, delete ("right to be forgotten") or block, revoke your consent and object to the processing of your personal data.

4.2 Persons about whom we process personal data have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (EDÖB).

4.3 We voluntarily grant rights to data subjects under Swiss data protection law - insofar as and to the extent permitted under Swiss law - if and insofar as EU data protection law provides for such rights.
