Privacy Policy

Responsible and content of this privacy policy
HEMLATA is the operator of the website https://hemlata.org and, unless otherwise stated in this data protection declaration, is responsible for the data processing listed in this data protection declaration.

We base our data protection primarily on the legal requirements of Swiss data protection law, in particular the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), as well as the DSGVO, the provisions of which may be applicable in individual cases.
Please note that the following information will be reviewed and amended from time to time. We therefore recommend that you regularly review this privacy policy. Furthermore, for individual data processing listed below, other companies are responsible under data protection law or jointly responsible with us, so that in these cases the information of these providers is also authoritative.
The following information does not refer to third-party websites that are linked from our site or - vice versa - from which our website is linked.

Data processing when contacting us
If you contact us via our contact addresses and channels (e.g. by e-mail, telephone or contact form), your personal data will be processed. The data you have provided us with, such as your name, e-mail address or telephone number and your request, will be processed. In addition, the time of receipt of the request is documented.

Data Security: Data Transmission with SSL
We are aware that data security on the Internet is an important issue. Therefore, data of the persons concerned are transmitted encrypted by means of the so-called SSL technology. This secures the data against unauthorized access.

Recipients of personal data
HEMLATA may use external customers or service providers as data processors, in particular for the provision of services or for organizational purposes. This includes, for example, sales partners, external IT service providers, external consultants, external administrative/commercial service providers or other natural persons or legal companies that belong to HEMLATA's customer base. Data protection is always guaranteed.
If desired or if this seems necessary or required within the framework of a contractual relationship, a complete transfer of personal data to others can also take place.
In all other respects, the right is reserved to pass on personal data to public authorities for legal reasons or for the enforcement and prosecution of legal claims.

Duration and storage of personal data
Personal data of the persons concerned will be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose of the processing or for as long as HEMLATA has a legitimate interest in doing so. In particular, the retention periods provided by law for the retention of relevant business documents are also decisive.

Cookies
Cookies are information files that your web browser stores on your computer's hard drive or memory when you visit our website. Cookies are assigned identification numbers that identify your browser and allow the information contained in the cookie to be read.
Among other things, cookies help to make your visit to our website easier, more pleasant and more meaningful. We use cookies for various purposes that are necessary, i.e. "technically necessary", for your desired use of the website.

Furthermore, cookies also perform other technical functions required for the operation of the website, such as so-called load balancing, i.e. the distribution of the performance load of the site to different web servers in order to relieve the servers. Cookies are also used for security purposes, e.g. to prevent the unauthorized posting of content. Finally, we also use cookies as part of the design and programming of our website, e.g. to enable the uploading of scripts or codes.
The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in providing a user-friendly and up-to-date website.

General information on tracking
For the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of our website, we use the web analysis services listed below. In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to a server of the service provider, where it is stored and processed. This may also involve transmission to servers abroad, e.g. the USA. By processing the data, we obtain, among other things, the following information:

Navigation path followed by a visitor on the site (incl. content viewed and products selected or purchased or services booked);
Time spent on the website or subpage;
Subpage on which the website is left;
Country, region or city from where an access takes place;
terminal device (type, version, color depth, resolution, width and height of browser window); and
returning or new visitors.

On our behalf, the provider will use this information for the purpose of evaluating the use of the website, in particular to compile website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these websites. For these processing operations, we and the providers can be considered jointly responsible parties under data protection law up to a certain extent.
The legal basis for this data processing with the following services is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time or refuse the processing by rejecting or disabling the relevant cookies in your web browser settings. For the further processing of the data by the respective provider as the (sole) data controller, in particular also a possible transfer of this information to third parties, such as authorities due to national legal requirements, please refer to the respective data protection notice of the provider.

Google Analytics
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland) or Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google).
Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses. For accesses originating from the EU, IP address data is only used to derive location data and then deleted immediately. When collecting measurement data in Google Analytics, all IP searches take place on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing. Regional data centers are used in Google Analytics. If a connection is established in Google Analytics to the nearest available Google data center, the measurement data is sent to Analytics via an encrypted HTTPS connection. At these centers, the data is further encrypted before being forwarded to Analytics' processing servers and made available on the platform. The most appropriate local data center is determined based on the IP addresses. This may also result in data being transferred to servers abroad, e.g. the USA.

Users can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to the website usage by the respective user (including the IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. As an alternative to the browser plugin, users can click this link to prevent the collection by Google Analytics on the website in the future. This will place an opt-out cookie on the user's terminal device. If users delete cookies, the link must be clicked again.

Social Media Profiles
On our website, we have included links to our profiles on the social networks of the following providers:

If you click on the icons of the social networks, you will automatically be redirected to our profile in the respective network. In doing so, a direct connection is established between your browser and the server of the respective social network. This provides the network with the information that you have visited our website with your IP address and clicked on the link. This may also result in a data transfer to servers abroad, e.g. the USA. If you click on a link to a network while you are logged into your user account with the network in question, the content of our website may be linked to your profile so that the network can assign your visit to our website directly to your account. If you want to prevent this, you should log out before clicking on the relevant links. A connection between your access to our website and your user account takes place in any case when you log in to the respective network after clicking on the link. The respective provider is responsible under data protection law for the associated data processing. Please therefore refer to the data protection information on the website of the network.
The legal basis for any data processing attributed to us is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO in the use and promotion of our social media profiles.
