The data processing by Swynoo is subject to the following law:
Data from Swiss customers and Swiss visitors to our website
Only Swiss law applies to the processing of data from Swiss customers, in partic- ular the Federal Act on Data Protection (DSG, SR 235.1) and the associated ordi- nance on the Federal Act on Data Protection (SR 235.11). The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not apply. The applicability of the GDPR re- mains reserved (i) insofar as it is expressly provided for in this data protection declaration for sub-areas, and (ii) insofar as the GDPR is also mandatory for data from Swiss customers due to special circumstances.
Data from customers from the EU area and visitors from the EU area of our website
In addition to Swiss law, the processing of data from customers from the EU area is subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons in the processing of personal data, on the free movement of data and on the repeal of Directive 95/46 / EC (Datenschutz Grundverordnung, GDPR) applicable. See also section 12 (Additional regulations for customers from the EU area).
When you visit our online presence, the web server technology we use automat- ically logs general technical visit information. This includes, among other things, the IP address (which, however, is anonymized by Google before it is saved so that it can no longer be assigned to you. Google uses the _anonymizeIp ()) method of the device used, information on the browser type and the Internet Service provider and the operating system used.
We use technical and organizational security measures in accordance with rec- ognized market standards to protect personal data stored by us against uninten- tional, illegal or unauthorized manipulation, deletion, modification, access, dis- closure or use and against partial or complete loss. The Swynoo servers are lo- cated in a multi-certified and secure data center operated by Swisscom (Switzer- land) AG. Swisscom regularly backs up customer data (backup). In order to pre- vent data loss even in extreme cases (e.g. destruction of the data center by an earthquake), the encrypted backups are stored in parallel in several data centers in Germany and abroad. Our security measures are continuously adapted and improved in line with technological developments. We assume no liability for the loss of data or their knowledge and use by third parties. For the rest, we cannot accept any liability for the security of data transmission on the Internet; in par- ticular, there is a risk of access by third parties when data is transmitted by e- mail. However, access is protected using HTTPS. If explicitly requested by the customer, the customer can opt for double authentication at any time.
We process the data collected in order to be able to continuously improve the products and services you want, to manage your use and your desired access to our applications, products and information, to maintain our business relation- ship with you, to improve performance to monitor and improve our offer in or- der to detect, prevent or clear up illegal activities and to send you offers, infor- mation or marketing material about products or services that we believe, based on the data, could be interesting for you. The data can also be passed on to part- ner companies and service providers, selected third-party companies, institutes and / or legally authorized state authorities in Germany and abroad for pro- cessing, storage and use within the scope of the above-mentioned purposes. If the processing or storage of personal information takes place in countries that do not guarantee adequate data protection in comparison to Swiss data protec- tion law, we require the processor under contractual obligation to fully comply with the relevant provisions of the DSG or – insofar as data from customers the EU area are affected – the GDPR.
We have some of the aforementioned processes and services carried out by ser- vice providers commissioned to comply with data protection regulations and based in the EU or Switzerland. These are companies in the categories of IT ser- vices, payment transactions, print service providers, billing, debt collection and consulting, as well as sales and marketing as well as service providers that we use in the context of order processing relationships.

Storage duration and control options:
MailerLite stores the data for up to 13 months. If you do not want to participate in conversion tracking, the Mailerlite cookie can be deactivated via your browser at https://www.mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Cookies help to make your visit to our website easier, more pleasant and more meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically saves on your computer’s hard drive when you visit our website and use our ser- vices.
You can manage your security settings in the browser yourself and thereby block or deactivate the cookies we use, whereby certain bexio services may then no longer (in full) be used.
Tracking and analysis tools / social media
The use of our digital offers is measured and evaluated using various technical systems, mainly from third-party providers such as Google Analytics. These measurements can be made anonymously or personally. It is possible that we or the third-party providers of such technical systems may pass on the data col- lected to third parties in Germany and abroad for processing. The most fre- quently used and best-known analysis tool is Google Analytics, a service from Google Inc. With this, the collected data can generally be transmitted to a Google server in the USA.
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. based in 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S.A. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The in- formation generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address, which is anonymized by Google before it is saved so that it can no longer be assigned to you) is sent to a Google server in the Transferred to the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third par- ties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with other Google data.
Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
If you do not want your website activity to be available for Google Analytics, you can install the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=en.
This prevents the JavaScript running on websites (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing activity data with Google Analytics.
We store this data temporarily on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR). Our legitimate interest lies in achieving the purposes described above.
The analysis of data by other tools of the website owner is not prevented when you use the add-on. Data can still be sent to the website or to other web analy- sis services.
Finally, we collect certain information via our website in so-called server log files, which your Internet browser automatically transmits to us. These include the user agent (browser type and version, operating system used), http header information (referrer URL, IP address of the accessing computer) and the time of the server request. These server log files are only merged with other data sources for error analysis.
Integration of third-party offers / social media
Our digital offers are networked with functions and systems of third parties in a variety of ways, for example by integrating plug-ins from third-party social net- works such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. If you have a user account with these third parties, they may also be able to use your Measure and evaluate the use of our digital offers. Additional personal data such as IP address, browser set- tings and other parameters can be transmitted to these third parties and stored there. We have no control over the use of such personal data collected by third parties and assume no responsibility or liability. Incidentally, Swynoo has no detailed knowledge of which data is transmitted to third-party providers, where it is transmitted and whether it is anonymized.
Swynoo does not use any profiling or automatic decision-making techniques. Should Swynoo use this procedure in individual cases, you will be informed separately, provided this is required by law.
