a) SAP Hybrids

We use the cloud-based licensed software Hybris Marketing of SAP America Inc. (3999 West Chester Pike, Newtown Square, PA 19073, US) on our website. The SAP Hybris Marketing Cloud System is located in St. Leon-Rot in Germany. 

With Hybris Marketing, the personal data that you provide us with and the personal data collected by us in accordance with this privacy policy is transmitted to a central server of SAP America Inc. in Germany and combined into a uniform consumer profile. This enables us to carry out context-based marketing. This in turn enables us to provide consumers and anonymous website visitors with a consistent and relevant real-time digital user experience. Using Hybris Marketing, we aim to ensure that only products and advertisements you are (likely to be) interested in are displayed on your devices. 

The use of the SAP Hybris Marketing Cloud System is based on our legitimate business interests in the above purposes. 

b) For other purposes 

In addition, we will only pass on your personal data within the Emmi Group and / or to third parties if: 

• You have given your express consent to this, 
• It is necessary for the performance of a contractual relationship with you, 
• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, 
• Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest otherwise. 

To the extent necessary for the aforementioned purposes, we will also transfer your data to recipients outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Please note that in these third countries there may not be a comparable level of data protection as in the EU/EEA and therefore it cannot be completely ruled out that your data may be disclosed to governmental authorities in the third country without adequate means of redress.  

We ensure that transfers to third countries only take place to the extent that adequate data protection is guaranteed for your personal data. This means that we only transfer your data insofar as a decision of the EU Commission on an adequate level of data protection exists for the respective third country (Art. 45 GDPR), appropriate guarantees are provided for the protection of your personal data (Art. 46 GDPR) or a legal authorization exists (Art. 49 GDPR).  

Appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR include the standard contractual clauses published by the EU Commission. If you would like further information on the standard contractual clauses on the basis of which we transfer your personal data to third countries, please contact the offices listed in the first section.

We use cookies on our website and may allow certain third parties to do so as well. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. You can see the complete list of the cookies used below. 

However, depending on the purpose of these cookies, we may ask for your express prior consent before they are used. You can access your current settings by clicking on the button below. You can also set your browser to block or deceive certain types of cookies or alternative technologies, or to delete existing cookies. You can also add software to your browser that blocks certain third-party tracking. You can find more information on the help pages of your browser (usually with the keyword «Privacy») or on the websites of the third parties set out below. 

We use the following cookie types (including other technologies): 

a) Brandwatch 

We use the services of Brandwatch GmbH (Gutenbergstrasse 77A, 70197 Stuttgart, Germany). This is a social media monitoring tool that helps us to identify and monitor content on third-party websites (e.g., posts, tweets, blogs, news, forum posts, and social media platforms). This gives us a detailed insight into customer opinions and any topics on the Internet that mentions our company name(s) or talks about our brand(s). In doing so, so-called "crawlers" search available online sources to seek out the relevant hits. Brandwatch searches both publicly available data on the Internet and closed-loop third-party networks with which they have directly concluded contracts in order to access their data. 

The data Brandwatch collects varies depending on the source of the data. The following personal data may be collected: 

• your name, username, nickname or other identifier; 
• the contents of data you have posted using that name, username, nickname, or other identifier, including comments, phrases, opinions, posts, etc.; 
• your profile picture; 
• your job title or industry; 
• your interests; 
• Your location; 
• your gender; and 
• any other information that you post on any Internet site or on any third party platform that provides Brandwatch with data. 

Our use of Brandwatch services for the processing of such data is based on our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests in the use of Brandwatch are for the purposes of market and opinion research and for marketing and PR purposes. Data processing by Brandwatch is external and separate from our corporate web and social media sites, so we are not responsible for any data processing by Brandwatch. 

If you object to the use of your information by Brandwatch, or require information about the data stored by them, or if you wish to exercise any other right that you are entitled to, please contact Brandwatch at privacy@brandwatch.com. For more information on privacy at Brandwatch, please click here. 

b) Falcon.io 

We use the services of Falcon.io ApS (H.C. Andersens boulevard 27, 1st floor, 1553 Copenhagen V, Denmark). This is a social media management tool that allows us to consistently manage our social media profiles and activities. Each user interaction with us is automatically and individually tracked so we can respond to customer requests quickly and efficiently. In addition, we can see whether our companies or our products are mentioned on the social media platforms we use, and then directly contact those users or provide them with content. This gives us a detailed insight into customer opinions. Furthermore, the tool also allows us to create our own campaign pages and to show personalized and interest-based advertising, as well as to measure the results of these. 

Our use of Falcon.io services for the processing of such data is based on our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests in the use of Falcon.io are for the purposes of market and opinion research and for marketing and PR purposes. Data processing by Falcon.io is external and separate from our corporate web and social media sites, so we are not responsible for any data processing by Falcon.io. 

If you object to the use of your data by Falcon.io, or require information about the data stored by them, or wish to assert any other right to which you are entitled, please contact Falcon.io at the privacy@falcon.io e-mail address. More information about privacy at Falcon.io can be found here. 

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are based on your consent. With the tracking measures used, we seek to ensure a tailored design, and the continuous optimization of our website. We also use the tracking tools to statistically record the use of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing the content we show you.

a) Google Analytics 

For the purpose of customizing and continually optimizing our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, US, hereinafter "Google"). In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies (see paragraph 5) are used. Information is generated by the cookie about your use of the website such as: 

• browser type / version, 
• used operating system, 
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page), 
• host name of the accessing terminal (IP address), 
• time of server request. 

and are transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. In this respect, it must be noted that the US does not provide for the same level of data protection as the Swiss data protection legislation. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and tailor our website design. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with any other data provided by Google. The IP addresses are anonymized, so that such a merger is not possible (IP masking). You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we must point out that in this case not all features of our website may be fully functional. In addition, you may prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on.  

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set that will prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid on that browser and only for our website, and is stored on your device. If you delete cookies in that browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again. For more information about privacy related to Google Analytics, see the Google Analytics Help Center. 

b) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking 

In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our content, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. In doing so, Google Adwords will set a cookie (see section 5) on your device if you have reached our website via a Google ad. 

Information is generated by the cookie and is transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. In this respect, it must be noted that the US does not provide for the same level of data protection as the Swiss data protection legislation. 

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If a user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user previously clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. 

Every Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information gathered using the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers are notified of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. 

If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of that cookie - for example, via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". 

Google's privacy policy for conversion tracking can be found here. 

c) Siteimprove Analytics

This website uses Siteimprove Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Siteimprove. Siteimprove Analytics uses „cookies“, which are text files placed on your computer, to help ENS analyze how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookies about the visitors’ use of the website will be stored and processed by Siteimprove on servers in Denmark.

The targeting measures listed below and used by us are based on your consent. Through the targeting measures we use, we want to make sure that only advertising that meets your actual or inferred interests is displayed on your devices.

a) Google Adwords Remarketing

We use Google Remarketing Tags. These are a service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, US, hereafter "Google"). In this respect, it must be noted that the US does not provide for the same level of data protection as the Swiss data protection legislation. 

Google uses cookies (see section 4) that are stored on your computer and that enable us to analyze your use of our Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. The IP address is then anonymised by Google at the last three digits, so that a full reading of the IP address is no longer possible. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us as website operators and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. 

Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or where third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Third parties, including Google, place ads on websites on the Internet. Third parties, including Google, use stored cookies to serve ads based on previous visits by a user to a website. Google will never associate your IP address with other Google data. Permission for this data collection and storage can be revoked at any time in respect of future processing.

b) Double Click 

On our website, information for the optimization of advertising impressions is collected and evaluated using cookies (see section 4). For this purpose, we use Google Inc. targeting technologies (Double Click, Double Click Exchange Buyer, Double Click Bid Manager). Information is generated by the cookie and is transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. In this respect, it must be noted that the US does not provide for the same level of data protection as the Swiss data protection legislation. These technologies enable us to target you with individual interest-based advertising. The cookies used, for example, provide information about which of our products you are interested in. On the basis of the information, we can also show you third-party content that is specifically geared to your interests, as they result from your previous user behavior. The collection and evaluation of your user behavior is anonymous and does not enable us to personally identify you. In particular, this information will not be merged with personally identifiable information about you. The cookies will be automatically deleted after 30 days. 

You can also set preferences for showing interest-based advertising through the Google Ads Settings Manager.

Facebook receives the information that you have visited our website along with your IP address. As a result, Facebook can link your visit to our pages to your user account. We can then use this information for the display of Facebook Ads.  

We must point out that as the provider of the pages we are not aware of the content of the data transmitted to, and their use by, Facebook.

This information is transmitted to Facebook servers in the United States. There is an automatic check to see if you have saved a Facebook cookie. The Facebook cookie automatically determines whether you belong to the relevant target group for us. If you belong to the target group, we will show you relevant ads on Facebook.
