General
This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this site about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the site operator GRACE. Church Buchs (Wiedenstrasse 48, 9470 Buchs SG, Switzerland).
The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and according to the legal regulations. As new technologies and the constant development of this website may result in changes to this privacy policy, we recommend that you read the privacy policy at regular intervals.
Definitions of the terms used (e.g. "personal data" or "processing") can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
Access data
We, the website operator or page provider, collect data on access to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) and store these as "server log files" on the server of the website. The following data is logged in this way:
The server log files are stored on servers in Switzerland for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to clarify cases of misuse. If data have to be retained for reasons of proof, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
Range measurement & cookies
This website uses cookies for pseudonymised range measurement, which are transmitted either by our server or the server of third parties to the browser of the user. Cookies are small files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.
If you do not want cookies to be stored on your end device for range measurement, you can object to the use of these files here:
Common browsers offer the option not to allow cookies. Note: There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.
Collection and processing of personal data
The website operator collects, uses and passes on your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.
Personal data includes all information which serves to determine your person and which can be traced back to you - for example your name, e-mail address and telephone number.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online services, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. The anonymisation of the data does not allow conclusions to be drawn about you personally.
We process personal data such as first name, surname, e-mail address and telephone number as well as any other information from contact and registration forms as well as from personal contact on the basis of our legitimate interest in the organisation of the events offered and communication with our participants. We process personal data only with the express permission of the users concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
Dealing with contact data
If you contact us as a website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Dealing with comments and contributions
If you leave a contribution or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR and serves the security of us as website operators: Because if your comment violates applicable law, we can be prosecuted for it, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the comment or contribution author.
Google Analytics
On the basis of our legitimate interests and in order to optimise and analyse our online services within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, this website uses the service "Google Analytics", which is provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The service (Google Analytics) uses "cookies" - text files which are stored on your end device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google LLC complies with European privacy laws and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
On this website IP anonymization is used. The IP address of the users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other contracting states of the agreement. Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted unabbreviated to a Google server in the USA and then shortened there. By this shortening the personal reference of your IP address is omitted. The IP address of the user transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
Under the terms of the order data processing agreement, which we have entered into with Google Inc. as the website operator, Google Inc. uses the information collected to compile an analysis of website usage and website activity and to provide services relating to internet usage.
The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online services by individual users, for example to create reports on website activity to improve our online services.
You have the option of preventing cookies from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. It is not guaranteed that you can access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
You can also use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link leads you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
