The SIG Charitable Foundation (CHE-109.709.163) is the owner of the SIG Areal am Rheinfall and the website sigareal.ch, and is therefore responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data and for ensuring that data processing complies with Swiss law.
Your trust is important to us, which is why we take data protection seriously and ensure appropriate security measures are in place. We naturally comply with the legal provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the Telecommunications Act (TCA) and, where applicable, other data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (hereinafter GDPR).
To ensure that you are aware of what personal data we collect from you and for what purposes we use it, please take note of the following information.
When you visit our website, our servers temporarily store each access in a log file. The following data is collected without your intervention and stored by us until it is automatically deleted after twelve months at the latest:
– the IP address of the requesting computer
– the date and time of access
– the name and URL of the file accessed
– the website from which access was made
– the operating system of your computer and the browser you are using
– the country from which you accessed the site and the language settings in your browser
– the name of your Internet access provider
This data is collected and processed for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (connection establishment), ensuring long-term system security and stability, optimising our internet offering, and for internal statistical purposes. This constitutes our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The IP address is used in particular to record the country of residence of the website visitor and to set the language of the website accordingly. Furthermore, the IP address is evaluated for statistical purposes in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure of www.sigareal.ch.
In addition, we use pixels and cookies when you visit our website for the purpose of using web analysis services. You can find more detailed information on this in sections 5 and 6 of this privacy policy.
When registering for our newsletter
You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website. The following data must be provided during registration:
– e-mail address
The above data is necessary for data processing. We process this data exclusively to personalise the information and offers sent to you and to better tailor them to your interests.
By registering, you give us your consent to process the data provided for the regular dispatch of the newsletter to the address you have provided and for the statistical evaluation of usage behaviour and the optimisation of the newsletter. This consent constitutes our legal basis for processing your email address within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. We are entitled to commission third parties with the technical implementation of advertising measures and are entitled to pass on your data for this purpose (see section 2 below).
At the end of each newsletter, there is a link that you can use to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. When unsubscribing, you can voluntarily tell us the reason for unsubscribing. After unsubscribing, your personal data will be deleted. Further processing will only take place in anonymised form for the purpose of optimising our newsletter.
We expressly refer to the data analyses carried out in connection with the sending of newsletters (see section 8).
We expressly refer to the data analyses carried out in connection with the sending of newsletters (see section 8).
Information that you send to us unencrypted by electronic mail (e-mail) may be read by third parties during transmission. As a rule, we cannot verify your identity and do not know who is behind an e-mail address. Legally secure communication by simple e-mail is therefore not guaranteed. Like many email providers, we use filters against unwanted advertising (‘spam filters’), which in rare cases may also automatically classify normal emails as unwanted advertising and delete them.
Emails containing harmful programs (‘viruses’) are automatically deleted by us in all cases.
If you wish to send us messages that require protection, we recommend that you send them to us by conventional post.
Please also let us know whether and how we can send you encrypted emails in response to your correspondence and whether – if this is not possible – you agree to receive an unencrypted email response to your letter. If you are unable to receive encrypted emails, please provide us with your postal address so that we can respond to your confidential messages.
We will only disclose your personal data if you have expressly consented to this, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the relationship between you and SIG Gemeinnützige Stiftung.
In addition, we pass on your data to third parties to the extent necessary for the provision of the services you have requested and the analysis of your user behaviour in connection with your use of the website. To the extent necessary for the purposes specified in sentence 1, data may also be transferred abroad. If the website contains links to third-party websites, SIG Gemeinnützige Stiftung has no influence over the collection, processing, storage or use of personal data by the third party after you click on these links and accepts no responsibility for this.
The SIG Charitable Foundation is entitled to transfer your personal data to third-party companies (contracted service providers) abroad, provided that this is necessary for the data processing described in this privacy policy. These companies are subject to the same data protection obligations as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or the EU, we will ensure by contract that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or the EU at all times.
We use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
You should always treat your data as confidential and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share your computer with others.
We also take internal data protection very seriously. Our employees and the service providers we commission are bound by confidentiality agreements and are required to comply with data protection regulations.
Cookies help in many ways to make your visit to our website easier, more enjoyable 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 do not damage your computer’s hard drive, nor do they transmit any personal data about users to us.
We use cookies, for example, to better tailor the information, offers and advertising displayed to you to your individual interests. The use of cookies does not result in us obtaining new personal data about you as an online visitor. Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a message always appears when you receive a new cookie.
Disabling cookies may prevent you from using all the features of our website.
Google Analytics
On our website, we use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’). This service collects information about the surfing behaviour of website visitors for marketing purposes in a purely anonymous form and sets cookies for this purpose. No personal data is collected or stored in this process.
Our legitimate interest in data processing lies in evaluating the use of the website, compiling website activity and providing other services related to website and internet usage. The information generated by Google Analytics using cookies about the use of the website, including the anonymised IP address, is transmitted to a Google Inc. server in the USA. Anonymisation is achieved by removing the last eight bits of the IP address, which means that it is no longer possible to clearly assign the data collected to a specific IP address. This information is transmitted to authorities or third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so or if third parties act as service providers on behalf of Google.
You can object to the collection, processing and recording of the collected data at any time by preventing the storage of cookies through appropriate settings in your browser. By using our website, you consent to the use of Google Analytics.
-Further information about Google Analytics can be found at: https://www.google.ch/analytics.
-Information on Google’s privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.ch/intl/de/policies/.
– Here you will find a way to prevent the use of Google Analytics and the associated data transfer to Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
As an alternative to the browser add-on or within browsers on mobile devices, please click this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in future. An opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click this link again.
This website uses Google Maps API, a map service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’), to display an interactive map and to create route maps. 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 a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
Google will never associate your IP address with other data held by Google. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible for Google to identify at least individual users on the basis of the data received. It is possible that personal data and personality profiles of users of the website could be processed by Google for other purposes over which we have no influence and cannot have any 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.
For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or based in Switzerland that surveillance measures are in place in the United States by US authorities that generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland to the United States. This is done without differentiation, restriction or exception based on the objective pursued and without an objective criterion that would allow access by US authorities to the data and its subsequent use to be limited to very specific, strictly limited purposes that would justify the interference associated with both access to and use of this data. We would also like to point out that there are no legal remedies available in the US for data subjects from Switzerland that would allow them to obtain access to data concerning them and to have it corrected or deleted, nor is there any effective judicial protection against the general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly draw the attention of the data subjects to this legal and factual situation so that they can make an informed decision about consenting to the use of their data.
We would like to point out to users residing in an EU Member State that, from the European Union’s perspective, the United States does not have an adequate level of data protection, partly due to the issues mentioned in this section. Where we have explained in this privacy policy that recipients of data (such as Google, Facebook and Twitter) are based in the United States, we will ensure that your data is adequately protected by our partners either through contractual arrangements with these companies or by ensuring that these companies are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield.
You have the right to request information about the personal data we store about you free of charge. In addition, you have the right to have inaccurate data corrected and the right to have your personal data deleted, provided that there is no legal obligation to retain it or a legal basis that allows us to process the data. In accordance with Articles 18 and 21 of the GDPR, you also have the right to request a restriction of data processing and to object to data processing.
You also have the right to request that we return the data you have provided to us (right to data portability). Upon request, we will also transfer the data to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a commonly used file format. You can contact us for the above purposes at the email address info@sigareal.ch. We may, at our discretion, request proof of identity in order to process your requests.
You may also inform us of what should happen to your data after your death by providing us with appropriate instructions.
We only store personal data for as long as necessary.
– to use the above-mentioned tracking, advertising and analysis services within the scope of our legitimate interest;
– to perform services to the extent specified above that you have requested or to which you have given your consent (e.g. to subscribe to the newsletter);
– in order to comply with our legal obligations.
We retain contract data for longer periods of time, as this is required by statutory retention obligations. Retention obligations that require us to retain data arise from accounting regulations and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communications, concluded contracts and accounting documents must be retained for up to 10 years or, in the case of users residing in France, for up to 5 years. If we no longer need this data to perform services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and tax purposes.
If you are a resident of an EU country, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority at any time. For SIG Gemeinnützige Stiftung, this is the Data Protection Officer for the Canton of Zurich:

Changes to the privacy policy may be made at any time by SIG Gemeinnützige Stiftung. Therefore, please consult this policy regularly.
