Privacy Policy

Welcome to Emanuel’s Art and my online presence, in particular emanuel-schweizer.ch

I am pleased to have aroused your interest in my drawings. I attach great importance to protecting your privacy and your personal data. For this reason, the collection and use of your data is always carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Genera Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (“Bundesdatenschutzgesetz” – DSG) and the Telemedia Act “Telemediengesetz” – TMG). As the party responsible for data privacy, I hereby provide you with information as to which data is collected by us and how we process this data.

  1. Personal data

Personal data is defined by the GDPR as all information relating to an identified or an identifiable natural person; a natural person is regarded as identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly in particular by attribution to a means of identification such as a name, a code, location data, an online identifier or one or more features which reflect the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person. Personal data is only saved insofar as this is necessary in order to render the service you have booked, comply with statutory requirements and serve the purpose specified below.

  1. Anonymised files/logfiles

You can visit my website without the need for personal data to be collected. However, every time you visit my website, certain anonymised data is saved, for example which page or which page was accessed. This data is not personal and is therefore not subject to the statutory provisions of the GDPR or the BDSG.

The website operator or page provider collects data via visits to the web page and saves these as server logfiles. In this way, a protocol is compiled of the following data:
website visited, time of access, volume of data sent in bytes, source/reference specifying the page from which access was made, browser used, operating system used, IP address used.

The data collected is used solely for the purpose of statistical analysis and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to examine the logfiles subsequently if there is any concrete indication of unlawful use.

Anonymous data is collected solely for the purpose of statistical analysis in order to improve our services. In this regard, please note the section “Right to information/right of cancellation”.

  1. Purpose of collecting personal data

However, collection of personal data is essential when you use my website to get in contact with me offered by my website where personal data is required for handling purposes.

In compliance with statutory regulations and in the interests of data economy, this generally only involves collecting the data required for providing the service in question. If we ask you to provide additional information in our forms, this is always voluntary and is designated accordingly.

Temporary saving of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to allow the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address has to be saved for the duration of the session. Saving of this information in logfiles also serves the purpose of ensuring the proper functioning of the website. In addition, this data helps us optimise the website and ensure our IT systems are secure. In this connection, there is no analysis of the data for marketing purposes. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR.

  1. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject to undertake processing of personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter an EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data is required in order to meet contractual obligations where the data subject is the contractual party, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing measures required to implement pre-contractual measures.

  1. Disclosure of personal data to third parties

Your personal data is only made available within the limits of the relevant statutory provisions, in particular those of data privacy and competition law.

What is more, I disclose and transfer your data to third parties insofar as I am obliged to do so by law or based on a final court ruling.

  1. Saving and deletion of data

Your personal data is saved in the context of the purposes stated in the section “Purpose of collecting personal data”. The personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of saving no longer applies. Data can also be saved if this is required by European or national legislation as stipulated by EU directives or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The legislative authorities impose a diverse range of safekeeping obligations and periods. Data is also blocked or deleted when a safekeeping period required by the above-mentioned legal provisions expires, unless it is necessary to continue to save the data in order to conclude a contract or meet contractual obligations.

  1. Use of cookies

I apply cookies (small computer files containing text information which the web server sends to your internet browser) so as to improve your experience when visiting my website. If you allowvme to apply a cookie, for example, certain messages only appear once. The cookies also have an expiry date. If have not blocked the saving of cookies and you delete your cookies manually prior to expiry, you will receive a new one the next time your visit the website.

The technical specifications are such that cookies can only be read by the server that sent them. I assure you that no personal data is saved in the cookies.
If you do not accept cookies, use of my website is unfortunately subject to limitations. I therefore recommend activating cookies permanently for my website. Most internet browsers are set in such a way that they automatically accept cookies. However, you can deactivate the saving of cookies and set your internet browser in such a way that it notifies you whenever a cookie is sent.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for the purpose of analysis, providing the user’s consent has been given, is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) GDPR.

  1. Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer to enable website use to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website (including your IP address) is sent to a Google server in the USA where it is saved. Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for the website operators and to provide services associated with the use of the website and the internet. Google may also send this information to third parties where this is required by law or insofar as third parties process the data on behalf of Google. Google will under no circumstances link your IP address to other data from Google. Although you can adjust your browser software to prevent installation of the cookies, we would point out that if you do so, you might not be able to make full use of all the functions offered by this website. In using this website, you agree to the data about you collected by Google being processed as described above and for the above-mentioned purpose.

This website’s Google tracking codes use the function “_anonymizeIp()”, whereby IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form in order to rule out any direct identification of persons. It is possible to object to the collection and saving of data at any time with effect for the future. Tracking is entirely suppressed by clicking on the “Deactivate” button. The browser has to accept cookies in order for this objection to remain in place on a permanent basis. Alternatively, data collection can be countered by the use of a Google browser plug-in so as to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link takes you to this plug-in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

  1. Facebook social plug-ins

This website uses plug-ins provided by the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plug-ins can be identified by the Facebook logo (a white “f” on a blue tile or a “thumbs up” symbol) or else they bear the label “Facebook social plug-in”. The list and appearance of Facebook social plug-ins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins

If a page of this website is accessed that contains such a plug-in, the browser used establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is sent directly by Facebook to the browser used and integrated by the browser in the web page. For this reason, we have no influence on the extent of the data collected by Facebook using this plug-in; I am therefore able to provide you with the following information according to our knowledge: as a result of integrating the plug-ins, Facebook is informed that the relevant page of my website has been accessed. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook is able to establish a link between your visit to my website and your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug-ins (by activating the “Like” button or posting a comment, for example), this information is sent by your browser directly to Facebook, where it is saved. If you are not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to find out your IP address and save it. For details of the purpose and extent of data collection and any further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights and settings options in this connection for the protection of your privacy, see the Facebook privacy policy:
https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If you are a member of Facebook and do not want data to be collected about you via my website and linked to data saved by Facebook about you as a member, you must log out of Facebook before visiting this website. It is also possible to block Facebook social plug-ins by means of add-ons for the browser used, such as the “Facebook Blocker”.

The data collected is anonymous for me, so it does not allow any conclusions to drawn as to users’ identity. However, the data is saved and processed by Facebook, so in conjunction with the respective user profile, it is possible for Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes in line with the Facebook data policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The user can allow Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on Facebook and outside Facebook. What is more, Facebook can save a cookie on the user’s computer for this purpose.

By visiting my website and my Facebook page, you agree to this practice. In order to prevent cookies being used on a computer in general, the internet browser can be set in such a way that no cookies can be saved on the computer at all in future and existing cookies are deleted. However, deactivation of all cookies can result in certain functions on our web pages no longer being available. The user can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Facebook on the following website of the Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/

  1. Use of the Twitter tweet button

This website uses the “Tweet” button provided by the social network Twitter, operated by Twitter Inc., 750 Folsom Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States (“Twitter”). The button can be identified by the dark blue bird symbol and the word “Tweet” against a light blue background. Whenever a page of this website is accessed that contains such a button, the browser used establishes a direction connection with the Twitter servers. The content of the “Tweet” button is sent directly to Twitter and integrated in the Twitter message. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data collected by Twitter via this button; it is assumed that the IP address is included, however. For details of the purpose and extent of data collection and any further processing and use of the data by Twitter as well as your rights and settings options in this connection for the protection of your privacy, see the Twitter data privacy policy: https://twitter.com/privacy. If the visitor is a member of Twitter and does not want data to be collected about them via my website and linked to data saved by Twitter about them as a member, the visitor must log out of Twitter before visiting this website.

  1. Use of the LinkedIn social plug-in

This website uses plug-ins provided by the social network LinkedIn, which is operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”). The LinkedIn plug-ins can be identified by the relevant logo or the “Recommend” button. Please note that when your visit my website, the plug-in establishes a connection between your internet browser and the LinkedIn server. In this way, LinkedIn is informed that this website has been visited with your IP address. If you click on the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time, you can link a content item from my website to a page of your LinkedIn profile. In this way you enable LinkedIn to associate your visit to my website with you or your user account. Please appreciate that we have no knowledge of the content of the data sent or how it is used by LinkedIn.

For further details of data collection, the legal options open to you and the settings available, please refer to LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/

  1. Use of the Instagram button

This website uses social media plug-ins provided by the social network Instagram, operated by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California, 94025, USA. The Instagram plug-in can be recognised by the “Instagram button” on my homepage.

If you activate the Instagram button while you are logged into your Instagram account, content from my website can be linked to your Instagram profile. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to my pages with your user account.

I should expressly like to point out that as the provider of this website I am not aware of the content of the data sent nor how this data is used by Instagram. For further information on this, see the Instagram privacy policy at: https://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy

  1. Security, questions and ideas, controller

Not least, security also depends on your system. You should always treat your access details confidentially, never have your web internet browser save passwords and always close the browser when you have finished visiting my website. This makes it more difficult for third parties to gain access to your personal data.

Use an operating system that enables you to manage user rights. Set up several users on your system for your family, too, and never use the internet under administrator rights. Make use of security software such as virus scanners and firewalls and keep your system up-to-date on an ongoing basis.

The controller for this online presence as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation and other national data protection laws of the member states as well as other data privacy provisions is:
