Privacy Policy

Who we are

The address of our website is: https://picnic-terminal.ch.

 

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device with the help of the browser. They do not cause any damage. When you call up certain pages, a so-called “session cookie” is set, which is automatically deleted from your computer at the end of the browser session. Some cookies may be stored on your terminal device until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

You can change the settings of most web browsers so that your browser does not accept new cookies or you can delete received cookies. You can usually find out how this works specifically for your browser via its help function.

 

Comments

When you post a comment on our website, this means a consent to store your name, email address and website in cookies. This is a convenience feature so that when you post another comment you do not have to re-enter all this data. These cookies are stored for one year. For this purpose, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string (this identifies the browser) to help detect spam.

An anonymised string may be created from your email address (also called a hash) and passed to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment has been shared, your profile picture is publicly visible in the context of your comment.

 

Server-Log-Data

As with any connection to a web server, the server of our web hosting provider Metanet (Switzerland), logs and stores certain technical data. This data includes the IP address and the operating system of your device, the data, the access time, the type of browser and the browser request including the origin of the request (referrer). This is necessary for technical reasons in order to provide you with our website. The web hosting provider protects this data from unauthorised access with technical and organisational measures and does not pass it on to third parties.

 

Google Analytics 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site.

Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services to the website operator relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored or delete them again by making the appropriate setting in your browser.

 

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third party tracking services and record your interaction with this embedded content.

 

How long we store your data

When you post a comment, it is saved indefinitely, including metadata. This way we can automatically detect and approve follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.

 

What rights you have to your data

If you have written comments, you can request an export of your personal data from us, including all the data you have given us.

You are generally entitled to the rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. This does not include data that we are required to retain due to administrative, legal or security needs. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to the supervisory authority.
