Data collection and processing on the website https://www.zazoon.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”) is carried out by the company

Zazoon is responsible for the data protection processing carried out on this website.

How we collect data

Our entire range of products and services is explicitly not aimed at private individuals, but at companies and organizations that are interested in our products and services. Personal data is only collected if there is a corresponding legal basis. This exists in particular when you provide us with your data voluntarily. This may be the information you enter in our contact form or information you provide during application procedures.

In addition, if you choose to allow cookies and tracking when visiting our website via the opt-in form, our IT systems will automatically collect additional data. This data primarily includes technical data (e.g. web browser, operating system and timestamp of the page view).

Legal basis for data collection

The following purposes may give us reason to process your data:

Your consent

You have given us your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) to process your personal data for one or more specific purposes. For example, consent for the use of third-party cookies or ticking the “I consent” checkbox before sending a contact request.

Necessary for the performance of a contract

The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) you have concluded with us. For example, a concluded service contract or employment contract.

Necessary for compliance with a legal obligation

Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR). For example, the obligation to keep records in accordance with tax law.

Necessary in order to protect vital interests

If the vital interest of a data subject or other natural person requires protection, we may process personal data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR).

Legitimate interest

The processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). There may be various reasons for this, which will be specified in the further course with the respective processing activity. One example is the processing of essential website cookies to be able to display the website.

Retention period of personal data

Unless explicitly mentioned in this Privacy Policy, stored data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for its original purpose and such deletion does not violate any legal retention obligations (Art. 5 para.1 GDPR). If data cannot be deleted because it is required for other valid and legitimate reasons, its processing will be restricted – that is, the data will be blocked and not used for other purposes. This scenario occurs, for example, with data that must be retained due to commercial or tax regulations.

Data subject rights

Under data protection laws there are rights that require proactive action by the controller. In particular, the right to information obliges the controller to provide clear and transparent information about how personal data is processed. In addition, data subjects may actively exercise specific rights to ensure transparency, fairness, and control over their personal data. These include the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), the right to data portability (Art. 19 GDPR), and the right to object to processing (Art. 20 GDPR).

Right of access

You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed.

Right to rectification

You have the right to demand that we correct any inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration.

Right to erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data without undue delay, and we are obliged to delete your personal data without undue delay.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request us to restrict the processing if your personal data.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive from us your data provided to us, in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us.

Right to object to processing

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Right to withdraw consent

You have the right to withdraw your once provided consent for the processing of personal data at any time to object the future processing of your personal data.

Right to lodge a complaint

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your data infringes data protection regulation.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files used to store fragments of information. When you access a website through your browser, these files are stored on your device. These cookies play a crucial role in ensuring the proper functioning and enhanced security of the website, as well as improving the user experience. They also provide insights into the performance of the website and help analyze successful aspects and areas for improvement. Like most online services, our website uses both first-party and third-party cookies for various purposes.

Essential cookies are primarily used to maintain the functionality of the website and do not collect personally identifiable information. Consequently, the collection of essential cookies falls within the scope of legitimate interest.

Non-essential cookies on our website measure its performance, understand your interactions, enhance security, design relevant advertising, and overall improve your user experience, thereby expediting your future interactions with our website. You can accept or decline cookies by clicking the appropriate button on the cookie opt-in form during your visit to the Site.

If you wish to change your preferences at a later time during your visit, you can do so at the bottom right of the screen. This will redisplay the consent notice so that you can change your preferences. In addition, different browsers offer different ways to block or delete cookies used by websites. You can adjust your browser settings to prevent or delete cookies based on your preferences.

Data processing on the website

During the informational use of the website, especially when the visitor does not independently transmit information, we collect personal data that the browser automatically transmits to our server. This is done to ensure the stability and security of our website and constitutes a legitimate interest.

The data collected includes:

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Forwarding URL of the visitor
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

In addition, this information is stored in log files. These files are deleted when their storage is no longer necessary, as there is a legitimate interest in a technically flawless presentation and in improving the operation of the website.

Contact form

If you contact us via the contact form on our website, we store the information you provide in the form and the message itself. The legal basis for processing this data is based exclusively on your consent which is obtained through an opt-in procedure. As soon as the storage of this data is no longer necessary, we delete it or restrict the processing if legal requirements demand the storage.

Booking demo appointments

Individuals visiting our website have the opportunity to make appointments with us for the purpose of product demonstration. We store the information you provide in the form and the message itself. The legal basis for processing this data is based exclusively on your consent which is obtained through an opt-in procedure. As soon as the storage of this data is no longer necessary, we delete it or restrict the processing if legal requirements demand the storage.

Electronic applications

The processing of the data transmitted as part of the application procedure serves the purpose of carrying out the application procedure. We have indicated accordingly or provided references to the data required for the application process. If applicants do not provide this data, we are unfortunately unable to process the application. Additional information is voluntary and not mandatory for an application. If applicants choose to provide additional data, this requires their consent.

We ask applicants to refrain from providing information on political views, religious convictions and comparably sensitive information in their CV and cover letter. Such information is not required for an application. Should applicants nevertheless decide to provide such information, we cannot prevent its inclusion in the resume or cover letter. In these cases, the processing of such data is also subject to the consent of the applicants.

We further process applicants’ data for subsequent application procedures, provided they have given us their consent to do so. We pass on applicants’ data to the relevant employees in the HR department and to other employees involved in the application process. If an applicant enters into an employment relationship with us following the application process, we do not delete the data until the employment relationship has been completed. If, on the other hand, the application is rejected, the data will be deleted no later than six months after the rejection. However, if the applicant has given us permission to use his or her data for subsequent application processes, we retain the data for up to one year from the date of receipt of the application.

Newsletter

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided, and your consent to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected unless this information is provided voluntarily. The processing of the data entered in the newsletter subscription form is based exclusively on your consent which is obtained through an opt-in procedure. You have the right to revoke this consent at any time. You can do this, for example, by sending a message via the contact form.

The data transmitted for the purpose of the newsletter subscription will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider. Upon cancelling the subscription, the data will be removed from the newsletter distribution list. Other data stored for other purposes remain unaffected. After unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be blacklisted by us or the newsletter service provider in order to prevent future mailings. The data on this blacklist is used exclusively for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This practice is based both on the legitimate interest in complying with the legal requirements for newsletter dispatch. The storage in the blacklist is indefinite unless they object to it, which they can do by sending a message via the contact form.

Data transfer to external parties & third countries

We integrate certain third-party functionalities into our website. These external services are provided by independent providers and may be used for different purposes, such as enhancing the security and stability of the site. In the course of using these services, personal data may be transmitted to the respective third-party provider.

Where the use of such services is not based on a legitimate interest, we will request your prior consent before activating them, which can be withdrawn at any time.

In cases where data transfer to countries outside of Switzerland or the EU takes place, this only occurs if the legal agreements with the contractual partner regarding data protection correspond to a level appropriate to Switzerland and the EU. In this regard, standard contractual clauses usually serve as the legal basis for data transfers, unless otherwise specified. These clauses represent a set of rules defined by the EU Commission and are integrated into the contract with the respective third party. These clauses ensure the security of the data transfer. In addition, many of these providers offer additional contractual assurances that extend data protection beyond the scope of the standard contractual clauses.

On this website, we have integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of ads on third-party websites. Google AdSense relies on an algorithm that selects the ads displayed on third-party websites based on the content of each third-party website. Google AdSense enables interest-based targeting of Internet users by creating individual user profiles.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertising on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. By placing the cookie, Alphabet Inc. can analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller is called up, on which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically triggered by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for online advertising and commission accounting. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which is used, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

Through Google AdSense, personal data and information, including the IP address, which are necessary for the collection and billing of the displayed advertising, are transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. In situations where personal data is transferred to the United States, we have agreed to standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Alphabet Inc. may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties. The legal basis for the use of Google AdSense is your consent. The data will be stored until you revoke your consent.

Google Double Click

This website uses Google DoubleClick (also known as Google Marketing Platform / Campaign Manager), an online advertising service provided by Google Ireland Limited. DoubleClick is used to display relevant advertisements to users, to limit the frequency of ad displays, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns across different websites.

Google DoubleClick uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and process information about your use of our website and other websites. This may include data such as IP address, browser and device information, operating system, referrer URL, pages visited, date and time of access, and interaction with advertisements. Google assigns a pseudonymous identification number (ID) to your browser in order to analyze which ads were displayed and which ads were clicked. The information collected may be combined with other data from Google services if you are logged into your Google account and have permitted such combination.

Personal data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States. The United States is considered a third country within the meaning of the GDPR. Where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google relies on appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR, in particular the conclusion of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. In addition, Google LLC may be certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which constitutes an adequacy decision by the European Commission, provided that certification is maintained.

The legal basis for the use of Google DoubleClick is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 25 TTDSG (if applicable). DoubleClick will only be activated after you have given your consent via our consent management tool. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

External links

Our website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties. These links are provided for informational purposes and to offer you convenient access to additional content or services. Please note that we have no influence over the content or data processing practices of these external websites.

When you click on an external link, you will be redirected to the website of the respective provider. In doing so, personal data such as your IP address, browser information, and the referrer URL (i.e., the page from which you accessed the link) may be transmitted to the operator of the external website. The processing of personal data on those websites is carried out solely under the responsibility of the respective provider and in accordance with their own privacy policies.

We recommend that you review the privacy policy of the respective external website before providing any personal data. At the time of linking, the external websites were checked for possible legal violations. However, continuous monitoring of the content of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete indications of a legal violation. If we become aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

The legal basis for providing external links is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in offering comprehensive information and user-friendly access to further relevant content and services.
