We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities.

2. Scope and purpose of the processing of personal data
2.1 Accessing the website
When you access this website www.baruvac.ch, the Internet browser you use as a visitor automatically sends data to the server of this website, where they are stored for a limited time in a log file. Until they are automatically deleted, the following data are stored without any further input from the visitor:
– IP address of the visitor’s device,
– date and time of access by the visitor,
– name and URL of the page accessed by the visitor,
– website from which the visitor reached our website (referrer URL),
– browser and operating system of the visitor’s device and the name of the access provider used by the visitor.
The processing of these personal data is justified under Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The company has a legitimate interest in processing the data for the purpose of
• establishing the connection to the website quickly,
• enabling user-friendly use of the website,
• identifying and ensuring the security and stability of the systems and
• facilitating and improving the administration of the website.
The processing is expressly not carried out for the purpose of gaining insights into the person of the website visitor (so-called profiling).
2.2 SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser’s address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
2.3 Contact form
Internet visitors can send messages to our company via an online contact form on the website. To receive a reply, at least a valid e-mail address is required. All other information may be provided voluntarily by the person making the enquiry. By sending the message via the contact form, the visitor consents to the processing of the personal data transmitted. The data are processed exclusively for the purpose of handling and answering enquiries submitted via the contact form. This is done on the basis of voluntarily given consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. The personal data collected for the use of the contact form are automatically deleted as soon as the enquiry has been dealt with and there are no grounds for further retention (e.g. a subsequent order).
2.4 Newsletter
By subscribing to the newsletter, the visitor expressly consents to the processing of the personal data transmitted. To subscribe to the newsletter, the visitor only needs to enter an e-mail address. The legal basis for processing the visitor’s personal data for the purpose of sending newsletters is consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. You can unsubscribe using a special link at the end of the newsletter or by sending a corresponding e-mail to info@xinfra.ch.
MailChimp
This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is The Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. MailChimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. your e-mail address), these are stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. MailChimp is certified under the “EU-US Privacy Shield”. The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA. MailChimp allows us to analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an e-mail sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the e-mail (a so-called web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you do not want any analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
The data are processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter are stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and are deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers once you have unsubscribed. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the members’ area) remain unaffected.
