This privacy policy applies to our website "www.vmdata.ch" and the services offered via it. The following information does not apply to external websites of other providers to which links are provided from our site or - vice versa - from which links are provided to our website. Data protection is a matter of trust and your trust is important to us. We respect your personality and privacy. We also want to ensure that your personal data is protected and processed in accordance with the law. The use of our website "www.VMDATA AG.ch" is basically possible without any indication of personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. As the controller, the "VM Data AG" has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS (WITH ANONYMIZATION FUNCTION)
Our website "www.vmdata.ch" uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc,1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the "cookies" about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have activated the IP anonymization function on our website "www.vmdata.chch". This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area from being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, it is possible to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. To do this, you must download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, you will have to install the browser add-on again in order to deactivate Google Analytics. Insofar as the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by you or another person attributable to your sphere of control, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on. More information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html.
GOOGLE TAG MANAGER
Our website "www.vmdata.ch" uses the Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager allows website tags to be managed through one interface. The Google Tag Manager tool itself is a cookieless domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
GOOGLE ADWORDS
We have integrated Google AdWords on our website "www.vmdata.ch". The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisements on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertisements on our website. If a data subject accesses our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored by Google on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, for example the shopping cart from an online store system, have been called up on our website, provided the cookie has not yet expired. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who arrived at our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google AdWords receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified. By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, for example the Internet pages visited by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected via the technical process with third parties. As already mentioned above, you can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call up the link https://www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers you use and make the desired settings there.
SSL ENCRYPTION
Our website "www.vmdata.ch" uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
NOTES FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS
Our website "www.vmdata.ch" is aimed at an adult audience. Minors, especially children under the age of 13, are prohibited from submitting personal information about themselves to us or registering for any service. If we determine that such data has been transmitted to us, it will be deleted from our database. The child's parents (or legal representative) may contact us and request deletion or deregistration. To do so, we will need a copy of an official document that identifies you as the parent or legal guardian.
RIGHT TO INFORMATION, DELETION AND BLOCKING
You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.
