Data Protection Policy

Data Pro­tec­tion Pol­i­cy for the Web­site of Gabriel Arbi­tra­tion AG

Intro­duc­tion

Gabriel Arbi­tra­tion AG oper­ates the web­site www​.gabriel​-arbi​tra​tion​.ch in accor­dance with the Swiss data pro­tec­tion leg­is­la­tion, espe­cial­ly the Swiss Fed­er­al Act on Data Pro­tec­tion (in Ger­man Daten­schutzge­setz, DSG”). In addi­tion, Gabriel Arbi­tra­tion AG com­plies with for­eign data pro­tec­tion leg­is­la­tion inas­much as it is applic­a­ble. This includes name­ly the data pro­tec­tion leg­is­la­tion of the Euro­pean Union.

Pro­cess­ing of Data

Any pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data is being done in accor­dance with the Swiss data pro­tec­tion leg­is­la­tion. Inas­much as Euro­pean data pro­tec­tion leg­is­la­tion applies, the legal reg­u­la­tions of the Euro­pean Union data pro­tec­tion law are also respect­ed (Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR).

The pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data is nec­es­sary to oper­ate the web­site www​.gabriel​-arbi​tra​tion​.ch, to con­duct busi­ness activ­i­ties for Gabriel Arbi­tra­tion AG, to safe­guard infor­ma­tion secu­ri­ty, and to enforce poten­tial claims and com­pli­ance with Swiss law.

Pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data is done only for the peri­od of time which is nec­es­sary to achieve the respec­tive pur­pose. How­ev­er, Gabriel Arbi­tra­tion AG reserves the right to archive per­son­al data for a longer time if so required due to legal and oth­er types of duties by which Gabriel Arbi­tra­tion AG has to abide.

Encryp­tion

The access to the web­site www.gabriel-arbitration takes place through trans­port encryp­tion (SSL/TLS).

Pro­cess­ing of Per­son­al Data through the Use of Third Par­ty Services

Per­son­al data is processed by the use of some of the fol­low­ing third par­ty services:

Host­ing
The web­site www​.gabriel​-arbi​tra​tion​.ch is host­ed on a serv­er of Metanet in Switzer­land. Each and every access is record­ed by default (includ­ing the IP-address of the vis­i­tor, the date and time of the access, the entered page, the ref­er­er, the oper­at­ing sys­tem and its ver­sion, and the used brows­er, its ver­sion and lan­guage set­ting). These log files are used to rec­og­nize tech­ni­cal prob­lems and to safe­guard the sys­tem secu­ri­ty; they can be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly eval­u­at­ed (see con­cern­ing this issue also the data pro­tec­tion pol­i­cy of Metanet).
Craft CMS
To admin­is­trate and pro­vide the con­tent the Con­tent-Man­age­ment-Sys­tem Craft” is used. This sys­tem nei­ther records per­son­al data when the web­site is accessed nor does it sub­mit access data to oth­er servers.
Google Ana­lyt­ics
The access to the web­site www​.gabriel​-arbi​tra​tion​.ch is sta­tis­ti­cal­ly ana­lyzed by Google Ana­lyt­ics to allow for a con­tin­u­ous opti­miza­tion of its design based on day-to-day needs. The data, which is trans­mit­ted to a Google serv­er in the USA in the form of a cook­ie, con­tains no per­son­al ref­er­ences. In par­tic­u­lar, the IP address­es of the vis­i­tors are being anonymized to ren­der indi­vid­ual map­ping impos­si­ble. More infor­ma­tion can be obtained by access­ing the data pro­tec­tion pol­i­cy and the terms of use of Google Ana­lyt­ics.
To pre­vent future data col­lec­tion by Google Ana­lyt­ics an opt-out-cook­ie can be installed from the fol­low­ing web­site: Link. The opt-out-cook­ie pre­vents only the record of the access to the web­site www​.gabriel​-arbi​tra​tion​.ch by Google ana­lyt­ics and only if the same brows­er is used. Opt-out-cook­ie to dis­abke Google Analytics…
Depend­ing on the brows­er (or through the help of brows­er-plu­g­ins) any track­ing by cook­ies can be dis­abled completely.
Social Media
No per­son­al data is being trans­mit­ted to social media plat­forms such as Face­book, Insta­gram, Twit­ter or LinkedIn.

Legal Rights of Par­ties Concerned

Vis­i­tors of the web­site www​.gabriel​-arbi​tra​tion​.ch are enti­tled to obtain infor­ma­tion (free of charge) on the fact whether – and, if so, how – their per­son­al data is being processed by Gabriel Arbi­tra­tion AG.
Par­ties con­cerned can lim­it the pro­cess­ing of their per­son­al data; use their right to data porta­bil­i­ty’ inas­much as the GDPR is applic­a­ble; have their per­son­al data cor­rect­ed, delet­ed or blocked; with­draw giv­en per­mis­sions; and object against the pro­cess­ing of their per­son­al data.

Par­ties con­cerned have a right to lodge claims with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty for data pro­tec­tion. In Switzer­land the super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty for data pro­tec­tion is the Fed­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion and Pub­lic Com­mis­sion­er (in Ger­man Eid­genös­sis­ch­er Daten­schutz- und Öffentlichkeits­beauf­tragter, EDÖB”).
