MailChimp

The website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address), this will be stored on the MailChimp servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified according to the "EU-US Privacy Shield". The "Privacy Shield" is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.

With the help of MailChimp we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to the MailChimp servers in the USA. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. They are used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyzes can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not want an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have stored with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted both from our servers and from the servers of MailChimp after you have canceled the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the members' area) remain unaffected.

For more information, see MailChimp's privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms .

Data retention, duration of storage

We store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which your personal data was collected and processed (e.g. as long as you use the app and are a registered user or to answer a question you have asked by email to answer).

When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete your personal information. Statutory retention requirements remain unaffected.

Your rights

If you would like information about your personal data, access your personal data, correct, update or delete it, you can contact us at any time via datenschutz@ getloopia .ch

In addition, if you are a resident of the European Union, you can object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information, or request portability of your personal information. You can also exercise these rights by contacting us at datenschutz@ getloopia .ch .

You have the right at any time to opt-out of receiving promotional communications that we send you. You can unsubscribe at any time by notifying us accordingly. To reject other forms of advertising (e.g. by post), please contact us at datenschutz@ getloopia .ch .

You can also revoke your consent at any time if we collect and process your personal data with your consent. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing of your personal information that we conducted prior to withdrawing your consent, nor will it affect processing of your personal information that we conducted based on a legitimate interest that does not require consent.

You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about the collection and use of your personal data. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.
