Matomo

Matomo, formerly Piwik, is an open source web analytics platform that supports local data collection. By visiting the provider's website, information about the access can be stored. All data does not belong to personal data, but is anonymised.

  • IP address
  • browser software used
  • date and duration of the visit
  • page viewed etc.

The data is used exclusively for statistical analysis purposes and for user optimisation. The data will not be passed on to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes. The provider expressly points out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) is subject to security gaps and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties. When contacting us voluntarily, the data provided will be stored in our database. This data will only be used for the intended purpose and will be treated as strictly confidential. The data is neither sold to third parties nor passed on without the consent of the user.

 

Mailchimp

If the user has entered his or her own e-mail address into the system and at the same time as entering the data has expressly given his or her consent to the use of his or her personal data for marketing purposes, this data will be passed on to the provider of the newsletter and to the MailChimp company (for MailChimp's data protection policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/), which enables one types of message to be sent:

  • Subscription to the newsletter of WHES

The newsletter is sent using the dispatch service provider 'MailChimp', a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with the CH-US data protection level (PrivacyShield). The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and an order processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 sentence 1 DSGVO. However, WHES does not assume any warranty or liability in this regard.

The dispatch service provider may use the recipients' data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assigning it to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.
