3. Cookies
The Internet pages of the DR. POLLEITS BOOM & BUST REPORT use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, we can offer users of this website more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
With the help of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The website user who uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter access data each time they access the website, as this is taken over by the website and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system.
You can prevent the setting of cookies via our website at any time by making the appropriate setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently prevent the setting of cookies. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The DR. POLLEITS BOOM & BUST REPORT website collects a range of general data and information when you visit the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be collected
(1) the browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer)
(4) the sub-websites,
(5) the date and time of access to the website
(6) an internet protocol address (IP address),
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
(8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about you. Rather, this information is required in order to:
(1) deliver the content of our website correctly,
(2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising
(3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.
Therefore, we statistically analyze anonymously collected data and information with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our company and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Newsletter subscription
On our website, users have the opportunity from time to time to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data is transmitted and when the newsletter is ordered.
Newsletters can only be received if
(1) you have a valid e-mail address and
(2) you register to receive the newsletter by selecting “Keep me up to date”.
For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you registered for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address is authorized to receive the newsletter as the data subject.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and used by you at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject’s e-mail address at a later date and thus serves the purpose of legal protection for the owner of the data collection.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. DR. POLLEITS BOOM & BUST REPORT uses the services of Constant Contact to send its newsletter. The provider is Endurance International Group, Inc, 10 Corporate Drive, Ste. 300, Burlington, MA 01803 Massachusetts, United States of America. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a corresponding registration, as this may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or a change in technical circumstances. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given for the sending of the newsletter can be revoked at any time. You will find a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking your consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website at any time or to inform us of this in another way, e.g. by e-mail.
Constant Contact is in possession of a certification that complies with the “EU-US Privacy Shield”. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States of America (USA) designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the United States. Further details can be found in Constant Contact’s privacy policy at https://www.endurance.com/privacy/privacy.
6. Contact via the website
Certain websites contain information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us. This also includes a general electronic mail address (e-mail address). If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted will be stored automatically. Such voluntarily transmitted personal data is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
7. Contact via job application
On our website, users are given the opportunity from time to time to apply for our company’s job vacancies. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data is transmitted (including CV / cover letter / other relevant documents) and when the newsletter is ordered.

8. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they have been expressly mentioned by the European legislator. It took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR). Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of the company and its stakeholders.
9. Who receives my data?n
Within DR. POLLEITS BOOM & BUST REPORT, every unit that requires your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations has access to this data. Service providers and vicarious agents commissioned by us may also have access to the data for the stated purposes if they maintain confidentiality. These are companies from the areas of IT services, printing services and sales and marketing.
10. Is data transferred to a third country or an international organization?
Your data may be transferred to group companies and/or specialized IT service providers. As such, your data may be transferred to countries outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA). Personal data is transferred to countries outside the EEA on the basis of adequacy declarations or other appropriate safeguards, in particular the standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission.
Please contact us if you would like a copy of the specific safeguards for the export of your information (Article 13(1f) of the GDPR).
11. How long will my data be stored?
We process and store your personal data only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or to the extent permitted by law or regulations to which we are subject.
If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a retention period prescribed by the competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
12. What data protection rights do I have?
Every data subject has the right of access under Article 15 GDPR (Article 8 GDPR), the right to rectification under Article 16 GDPR (Article 5 GDPR), the right to erasure under Article 17 GDPR (Article 5 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing under Article 18 GDPR (Articles 12, 13, 15 GDPR), the right to object under Article 21 GDPR (Article 4 GDPR) and – if applicable – the right to data portability under Article 20 GDPR. In addition, if applicable to you, there is also the right to lodge a complaint with an appropriate data protection authority (Article 77 GDPR).
You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. Please note that the revocation is only valid for the future. Processing that was carried out before the revocation is not affected.
13. To what extent is the decision-making process automated?
We generally do not use automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 GDPR. Should we use this procedure in individual cases, we will inform you separately if this is required by law.
14. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, recording and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website from which a person came (the so-called referrer), which subpages were visited or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used to optimize a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. With the help of this application, the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when he or she accesses our websites from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information collected, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website and to create online reports that show the activities on our websites and to provide us with other services relating to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Every time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the responsible body and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser automatically transmits data about the Google Analytics component on the data subject’s information technology system for the purpose of online advertising and billing commissions to Google. In the course of this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and then to create commission statements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access took place and the frequency of the data subject’s visits to our website. Every time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected as part of the technical process with third parties.
As mentioned above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies via our website at any time by setting the web browser used accordingly and thus permanently prevent the setting of cookies. Such an adaptation of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, cookies already used by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the opportunity to object to a data collection generated by Google Analytics that is related to the use of this website, as well as to the processing of this data by Google and the possibility to exclude this. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on using the https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout link. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers the installation of browser add-ons to be an objection. If the data subject’s information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on has been uninstalled or is disabled by the data subject or another person within their jurisdiction, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-ons.
Further information and Google’s applicable data protection regulations are available at
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.
Google Analytics is explained in more detail at the following link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
