Data privacy SIG Gemeinnützige Stiftung, Neuhausen am Rheinfall
SIG Gemeinnützige Stiftung (CHE-109.709.163) is the owner of the SIG site next to the Rhine Falls as well as the website www.sigareal.ch. It is therefore responsible for collecting, processing and using your personal data as well as ensuring that data processing takes place in accordance with Swiss law.
Your trust is important to us, which is why we take data protection seriously and pay attention to an appropriate level of security. Naturally, we adhere to the statutory provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (DSG), the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (VDSG), the Telecommunications Act (FMG) and, if applicable, other data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR).
Please note the information below, which will enable you to understand what personal data we collect from you and for what purposes we use this data.
1. Scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data
When you visit www.sigareal.ch
When you visit our website, our servers make a temporary record of each access and store it in a log file. The following data is collected and stored, without any action on your part, until it is automatically deleted by us after 12 months at the latest:
- the IP address of the accessing computer
- the time and date of access
- the name and URL of the file called up
- the website from which access is made
- the operating system of your computer and the browser used
- the country from which access is made and the language settings of your browser
- the name of your Internet access provider
- amount of data transferred
- status message for successful access
The said data is collected and processed for the purpose of allowing you to use our website (establishing a connection), ensuring system security and stability in the long term and allowing our Internet offering to be optimised, as well as for internal statistical purposes. This is our legitimate interest in the processing of data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address in particular is used in order to determine the country of residence of the visitor to the website and set the language of the website accordingly. The IP address is also analysed in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure ofwww.sigareal.ch as well as for statistical purposes.
When you visit our website, we also use what are known as pixels and cookies to display advertising that is personalised for you and to use web analysis services. Further details of this can be found in Sections 5 and 6 of this privacy policy.
Subscribing to our newsletter
Our website gives you the option to subscribe to our newsletter. During the subscription process, the following information must be provided:
- E-Mail-Adress
This information is necessary for data processing. We will only process this data to personalise the information and offers sent to you and to ensure that such communication reflects your interests.
By subscribing, you consent that we may process the details specified above to allow regular delivery of the newsletter to the address you have given, to carry out a statistical analysis of user behaviour and to optimise the newsletter. Your consent constitutes the legal basis for processing your email address under Article 6.1(a) of the GDPR. We are entitled to commission third parties with the technical management of advertising activities and to share your personal details with such parties for the related purpose (see Item 2 below).
At the end of each newsletter there is a link that allows you to unsubscribe at any time. If you unsubscribe, you may choose to tell us the reason for this decision. Your personal information will be deleted after you have cancelled the newsletter. Any further processing of your information is anonymous and serves to optimise our newsletter.
We expressly point out that data analysis takes place in relation to newsletter distribution (see Item 8 below).
Making contact by electronic mail (email)
Unencrypted information that you send to us by electronic mail (email) may be intercepted and read by third parties. As a rule, we are also unable to verify your identity and we do not know who is actually behind an email address. There is therefore no guarantee that legally secure communication is guaranteed by standard email. Like many email providers, we use automatic filters against unsolicited advertising (spam filters), which in rare cases also erroneously classify and delete normal emails as spam.
If an email contains a harmful programme (virus), we automatically delete it without exception.
If you want to send a message that merits protection, we recommend using conventional mail.
Please also let us know if and how we can send encrypted emails to respond to your communication and – if this is not possible – whether you consent to an unencrypted reply by email to your letter. If you do not have the means to receive encrypted emails, we ask that you provide your postal address so that we can answer messages that merit protection.
2. Transfer of data to third parties
We pass your personal data on only if you have expressly consented to this, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is required in order to enforce our rights, in particular in order to enforce claims resulting from the relationship between you and the owner as well as the marketers of the property.
We also pass your data on to third parties where this is required in conjunction with use of the website in order to provide you with the services requested or to analyse your user behaviour. If this is required for the purposes specified in the preceding sentence, your data may also be passed on to third parties abroad. If the website contains links to websites of third parties, the property owner will no longer have any influence on the collection, processing, storage or use of personal data by third parties once you click on such links and assumes no responsibility in this regard
3. Transfer of personal data abroad
The property owner is entitled to also pass your personal data on to third-party companies (commissioned service providers) abroad, where this is required for the data processing described in this privacy policy. The said third-party companies are obliged to protect your data to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to the level of data protection in Switzerland or the European Union, we ensure by contractual means that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or the European Union at all times.
4. Data security
We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect any of your personal data that we have stored from manipulation, partial or complete loss and unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are constantly being improved in line with technological developments.
You should always treat your payment information as confidential and close the browser window once you have ended your communication with us, particularly if you are on a shared computer.
We also take data privacy within our organisation very seriously. Our employees and the service providers commissioned by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and comply with our data protection provisions.
5. Cookies
Cookies help in many ways to make your visit to our website simpler, more pleasant and more meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically stores on your computer’s hard drive when you visit our website. Cookies neither damage your computer’s hard drive nor do they transfer the user’s personal data to us.
We use cookies, for example, in order to personalise the information, offers and advertisements that you see and to better align ourselves to your individual interests. Their use does not mean that we receive new personal data about you as an online visitor. Most Internet browsers accept cookies automatically. It is possible, however, to configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a message will always appear when you receive a new cookie.
Disabling cookies may prevent you from being able to use all of the features on our website.
6. Tracking-Tools
On our website we use theweb-analysis toolGoogle Analytics byGoogle Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043,USA („Google“). This toolis used to monitor your surfing behaviour on our website.This is for the purposes of needs-based design and continuous optimisation of our website. In connection with this, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and small text files that are saved on your computer (“cookies”) are used.
Our legitimate interest in data processing lies in the evaluation of the use of the website, the compilation of website activity and other services in connection with the use of the website and the Internet. The information about the use of the website generated by Google Analytics with the help of cookies is transmitted – including the anonymised IP address – to a Google Inc. server in the USA. Anonymisation takes place by removing the last eight bits of the IP address, thus preventing the clear assignment of the transmitted data to a specific IP address. This information will be transferred to authorities or third parties if Google is required to do so by law or if third parties act as service providers on behalf of Google.
You may object at any time to the collection, processing and recording of all data by preventing the storage of cookies through the selection of the appropriate browser settings. By using our website, you agree to the use of Google Analytics.

7. External Services
This website uses Google Maps API, a map service of Google Inc. (‘Google’), to display an interactive map and to create directions. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may transfer the information collected by Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
Google will never associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible for Google to identify individual users on the basis of the data received. It would be possible that personal data and personal profiles of users of the website could be processed by Google for other purposes over which we can have no influence. You have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display on our pages.
The Google Privacy Policy and Additional Terms of Use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
9. Note about data transfer to the US
For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or based in Switzerland that in the US there are monitoring measures taken by the US authorities that generally allow the storage of all personal data relating to all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland to the US. This happens without differentiation, limitation or exception on the basis of the aim pursued and without an objective criteria that makes it possible to limit access to the data by US authorities and its later use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that may justify the intervention associated with both access to this data and use thereof. We would also like to point out that there are no judicial remedies in place in the US for affected persons from Switzerland that would make it possible to receive access to the data relating to them and to have this corrected or deleted, as well as no effective legal protection against general access rights by US authorities. We refer the persons affected explicitly to this legal and factual situation so that they can make an appropriately informed decision on whether or not to consent to their data being used.
For users residing in EU Member States, please note that, from the point of view of the European Union, the US does not have sufficient data protection levels due, inter alia, to the issues mentioned in this section. To the extent that we have explained in this privacy policy that recipients of data (such as Google, Facebook and Twitter) are located in the US, we will either based on a contract or by securing certification of these companies under the EU-US -Privacy Shield ensure that your data is protected at an appropriate level by our partners.
10. Right to information, correction, erasure and restriction of processing; Right to data portability
You have the right to receive information about the personal data that we store about you free of charge upon request. In addition, you have the right to correct inaccurate data and the right to delete your personal data, as far as there is no statutory storage obligation or another legal basis for the processing in the sense of art. 6 GDPR that allows us to continue processing the data.
Pursuant to Articles 18 and 21 of the GDPR, you have the right to demand that data processing be restricted, and to object to data processing.
You also have the right to reclaim from us the data you have given us (right to data portability). On request, we 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.
11. Data storage
We only store personal information for as long as it is necessary
- to use the above tracking advertising and analysis services within the scope of our legitimate interest.
- to carry out services that you requested or to which you have given your consent (for example, to newsletter pursuant to Section 9) to the extent specified above.
- to comply with legal obligations.
Contract data is kept longer by us, as this is required by statutory storage requirements. Retention requirements that oblige us to keep data arise from accounting and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communications, closed contracts and accounting documents must be kept for up to 10 years. As far as we no longer need this data to carry out the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and for tax purposes.

Amendments to the privacy policy may be made at any time by the owner of the property. We kindly request that you therefore consult this statement regularly.
