The websites of LIPSCHULE AG (hereinafter referred to as «LIPSCHULE») are subject to Swiss data protection law, in particular according to the DSG Federal Data Protection Act as well as the Telecommunications Act (TCA).
This data protection notice may be amended at any time by publication on this website. Access to this website is via transport encryption (SSL / TLS).
The web pages of the LIPSCHULE are intended for companies and persons domiciled in Switzerland. Foreign persons are of course welcome to visit this website, but they are not our target audience.
In the following, you will learn how we process which data and for what purpose as well as on what legal basis.
We consider it our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we take great care and apply modern security standards to ensure a high level of protection for your personal data. We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the regulations on data protection are observed both by us and by our external service providers.
This data protection notice applies to these domains:
The legislator requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly and in a manner that is comprehensible to the data subject («lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency»). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions, which are also used in this data protection notice.
Personal data according to the Swiss Data Protection Act (Article 3).
All data relating to an identified or identifiable person, such as: Name, first name, AHV number, address, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number.
Data subject according to the Swiss FADP (Article 3)
Natural or legal persons about whom data is processed.
Processing according to the Swiss Data Protection Act (Article 3)
Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means used (e.g. electronic or paper) and procedures, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
Legitimate interests include, in particular, the business interest of being able to provide this website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.
The LIPSCHULE will process personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes.
In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which the LIPSCHULE is subject, processing will be limited accordingly.
Visitors to this website and other persons about whom the LIPSCHULE processes personal data may request confirmation free of charge as to whether personal data is being processed by the LIPSCHULE and, if so, information about the processing of their personal data, have the processing of their personal data restricted, have their personal data corrected, deleted («right to be forgotten») or blocked, revoke consent given and object to the processing of their personal data. If personal data cannot be deleted due to retention obligations or other regulations, its processing will be blocked/restricted.
Please note that in the case of such requests, we must ensure that it is actually the data subject in each case before we provide any information.
Persons about whom LIPSCHULE processes personal data have a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority for data protection.
The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
Automated decision-making does not take place on our websites.
In the following, we inform about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data are e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behavior.
If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, the data you provide (your e-mail address, name and telephone number, if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or the processing is restricted if there are legal retention obligations.
Every visit to our website leads to the automated collection of data and information from the system of your device, which is stored in so-called server log files. This data is information that relates to website visitors (identified or identifiable natural and legal persons). This data is automatically transmitted by your browser when you call up our website. The following information is collected:
IP address, date and time of the request, time zone difference to GMT, content of the request (specific page), access status/HTTPS status code, amount of data transferred in each case, website from which the request comes, browser, operating system and its interface, and language and version of the browser software.
The retrievability of our website from your device is the purpose of this processing, as well as enabling a correct display of our website on your device or in your browser. The data is also used by us to optimize our website and to ensure the security of our systems.
Our host server is the recipient of the data. This operates for us under a commissioned data agreement; the data is stored in Switzerland.
Address: METANET AG, Josefstrasse 218, 8005 Zurich, Switzerland.

The legal basis for the processing is the DSG. We have a legitimate interest in presenting you with a website optimized for your browser and in enabling communication between our server and your terminal device.
We do not merge this data with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
This data collection primarily serves to evaluate and prevent attempted attacks on the website. Hosting providers are also legally obligated in certain situations to be able to provide information about where access was gained in order to counter criminal activities.
Google Web Fonts are also used for the presentation of the website. In doing so, the web server of Google is accessed.

We use MailChimp to send the newsletter.
Address: The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA.
MailChimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. We have concluded a corresponding order processing agreement with MailChimp (Article 28 DSGVO). The personal data is stored on servers in the EU.
MailChimp offers the following information on data protection and privacy policy:
https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/
https://mailchimp.com/de/gdpr/
You have the option to object to the sending of the newsletter at any time. To do so, you can simply click on the link at the end of each newsletter and unsubscribe.
It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as «third-party providers») perceive the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus necessary for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform the users about it.
If you do not wish to disclose any data about yourself, please log out of your Google account or use a plugin such as Ghostery to block the data exchange. You can find the Google privacy policy here.
Videos can be used on the website as well as in the members area or for advertising purposes. Videos are a great way to make content more understandable. Hosting the videos locally is not powerful enough, so we use an external provider for this.
We also use videos from YouTube on our website. YouTube is a service provided by YouTube LLC («YouTube»), 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited («Google»), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The integration of YouTube takes place by embedding the service on our website using a so-called «iFrame». When loading this iFrame, YouTube or Google may collect information (including personal data) and process it. It cannot be ruled out that YouTube or Google also transmits the information to a server in a third country.
Information on the existing Privacy Shield certification of Google and other relevant data on data processing by Google in the context of the use of Google services can be found in this privacy policy under the section «Information on Google services».
By integrating YouTube, we pursue the purpose of being able to present various videos to you on our website so that you can watch them directly on our website.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is the DSG. Our legitimate interest required for this lies in the great benefit that YouTube offers. By integrating external videos, we relieve our servers and can use corresponding resources elsewhere. This can, among other things, increase the stability of our servers. YouTube and Google have a legitimate interest in the collected (personal) data to improve their own services.
You can find more information in the privacy notices of YouTube or Google, which you can access here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Information on Google’s privacy settings can be found at https://privacy.google.com/take-control.html?categories_activeEl=sign-in.
We use various services of Google Ireland Limited («Google»), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland on our website.
For more information on the individual specific services of Google that we use on this website, please refer to the further data protection notices.
By integrating Google services, Google may collect information (including personal data) and process it.
In doing so, it cannot be ruled out that Google also transmits the information to a server in a third country.
As can be seen from Google’s Privacy Shield certification (available at https://www.privacyshield.gov/list under the search term «Google»), Google has committed to comply with the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework on the collection, use and storage of personal data from Switzerland.
Google, including Google LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries in the U.S., has declared by certification that it complies with the Privacy Shield Principles.
For more information, please visit https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/frameworks/.
We ourselves cannot influence what data Google actually collects and processes. However, Google states that, in principle, the following information (including personal data) may be processed, among others:
If you are logged into your Google account, Google may add the processed information to your account depending on your account settings and treat it as personal data, cf. in particular https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners.
Google states the following in this regard, among other things:
«We may link personal data from one service with information and personal data from other Google services. This makes it easier for you to share content with friends and acquaintances, for example. Depending on your account settings, your activities on other websites and apps may be linked to your personal data to improve Google’s services and ads served by Google.» (https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/index.html)
You can prevent this data from being added directly by logging out of your Google account or also by making the appropriate account settings in your Google account.
You can find more detailed information in Google’s privacy notices, which you can access here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Information on Google’s privacy settings can be found at https://privacy.google.com/take-control.html.
We integrate the map service «Google Maps» of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This integration has the consequence that data is exchanged in the background for tracking purposes. If you do not wish to disclose any of your data, please log out of your Google account or use a plugin such as Ghostery to block the data exchange. Here you can find the Google privacy policy.
This website uses Google Ads (formerly: AdWords) and within Google AdWords the conversion tracking, an online advertising service of Google Ireland Limited («Google»), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a so-called «cookie», a text file, is stored on your device, which enables an analysis of the use of the websites visited by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States or other third countries. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days.
If you visit certain pages of ours and the stored cookie has not yet expired, it is recognizable to Google and us that someone has clicked on the ad and thus been redirected to our website. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can thus be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers.
Information on the existing Privacy Shield certification of Google and other relevant data on data processing by Google in the context of the use of Google services can be found in this privacy policy under the section «Information on Google services».
The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is the DSG.

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited («Google»), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics uses «cookies», which are text files placed on your device, to help the website analyze how users use the site. Google Analytics may also use so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). Through these web beacons, information such as visitor traffic to websites can be analyzed. The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website (including the IP address of users) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States or other third countries. This information may be passed on by Google to contractual partners of Google.
Information on the existing Privacy Shield certification of Google and other relevant data on data processing by Google in the context of the use of Google services can be found in this privacy policy under the section «Information on Google services».
The following types of data are processed by Google:
Online identifiers (including cookie identifiers).
IP address
Device identifiers
In addition, you can find more detailed information about the information processed at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/#infocollect under «Data we receive based on your use of our services», as well as at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/adsservices/.
We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization («anonymize IP») enabled. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within Europe. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Furthermore, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics (Art. 28 DSGVO). Google processes the data on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for us and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
By integrating Google Analytics, we pursue the purpose of analyzing user behavior on our website and being able to react to this. This enables us to continuously improve our offer.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is the DSG.
In the context of order processing, Google is entitled to engage subcontractors. A list of these subcontractors can be found at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/subprocessors/.
The processed information will only be stored as long as necessary for the intended purpose or as required by law.

We use both the Facebook Pixel and Custom Audiences to measure the reach of our advertising on Facebook and to prevent wastage.
We have installed the Facebook Pixel in the header area of our website. By clicking on «Accept Cookies», the pixel is installed and access is registered with Facebook. This allows visitors to our website to be included in a Custom Audience. Using the Facebook Pixel, visitors to our website are matched with people on Facebook. This allows us to target visitor groups more specifically with appropriate Facebook ads, and retargeting is also used for this purpose.
According to Facebook, the pixel transmits browser information, hashed Facebook ID of the website user and visited websites for this purpose.
It cannot be ruled out that Facebook transmits this information to (further) servers, also in a third country.
Information about the Facebook Pixel can be found here:

According to Facebook’s Data Policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/):
«Information from partners
Advertisers, app developers, and publishers may send us information through the Facebook business tools they use, including our social plugins (such as the «Like» button), Facebook Login, our APIs and SDKs, or the Facebook Pixel. These partners provide us with information about your activities outside of Facebook, including information about your device, websites you visit, purchases you make, ads you see, and how you use their services, regardless of whether you have a Facebook account or are logged into Facebook. For example, a game developer might use our API to tell us what games you play, or a business might tell us about a purchase you made in their store. We also receive information about your online and offline actions and purchases from third-party data providers who are authorized to provide us with your information.
Partners receive your information when you visit or use their services, or through third parties with whom they work. We require each of these partners to have the legal rights to collect, use, and share your information before providing any information to us. Learn more about the types of partners we receive data from.» (https://www.facebook.com/help/494750870625830?ref=dp)
Facebook states on the retention period of information that data is retained for as long as necessary to provide products as well as services to you or others. (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/)
As a matter of principle, we delete personal data when there is no need for further storage. A requirement may exist in particular if the data is still needed in order to fulfill contractual services, to check and grant or ward off warranty and, if applicable, guarantee claims. In the case of statutory retention obligations, deletion will only be considered after expiry of the respective retention obligation.
We secure our website and other systems by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. However, despite regular checks, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.

Privacy policy for our Facebook Fanpage Insights
As a Facebook Fanpage operator, Facebook Ireland Ltd. («Facebook») provides us with so-called Facebook Insights («Insights»). These Insights are various statistics that provide us with information about the use of our Facebook Fanpage. You can find more detailed information about Insights at
https://www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights.
Facebook processes various information – provided by you – to create these statistics. This also involves personal data. This personal data is processed by us and Facebook as joint controllers. Below, we provide you with the essential information of this agreement concluded between Facebook and us
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.
Designation of the joint controllers
Jointly responsible for the processing are
Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland
and
LIPSCHULE AG

Phone: +41 44 480 08 80
E-mail: lip@lipschule.ch
Responsibility regarding the processing of Insights data
Facebook has assumed primary responsibility for data processing (=assumption of all data protection obligations). This means in particular:
Facebook provides comprehensive information regarding its data processing at www.facebook.com (duty to inform pursuant to the Data Protection Act). Within the scope of this data protection notice, we provide you with an overview of the essential information that Facebook makes available.
Of course, you can also assert your (data subject) rights, which you are entitled to under the DSG, against us – without regard to the primary responsibility agreed with Facebook. Such requests will be forwarded by us to Facebook immediately in each case, using a form provided by Facebook for this purpose.
Legal basis for processing
You can view the purposes of Facebook’s processing as well as their legal basis here:
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/legal_bases as well as at
https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php
We invoke our legitimate interest DSG 1 as the legal basis for the processing of Insights data. It is our legitimate interest that we can track user behavior on our Facebook Fanpage. This enables us, above all, to record the reach and effectiveness of our postings, (advertising) campaigns or other activities through processed statistics. This allows us to carry out an ongoing optimization of our website and our offer in line with demand. This is also the purpose of our processing.
Data processing on Facebook fan pages
In particular, the following data may be processed by Facebook:
When you visit our fan page, the processing depends on whether you have a Facebook account or not. If you have a Facebook account, Facebook can assign the data to your account (permanently) in order to learn more about you.
If you do not have a Facebook account, Facebook can still store your data. This usually happens through the use of cookies. These are mostly small text files that are stored on the device you are using. Various information is written to such text files, and at a later time they are read out again. This makes it possible for Facebook to store and process information about you without you even using or having a Facebook account. Facebook provides more detailed information on the cookies used here:
https://de-de.facebook.com/policies/cookies/
Facebook only provides us with anonymized statistics on the usage of our fan page when we use Insights. We can only see how many users have performed certain interactions, but not which user has done what (which action). By using Insights data, we cannot draw any conclusions about a specific person.
In principle, you have the same rights as we have described in the privacy policy for our website:
(1) Right to information
(2) Right to rectification
(3) Right to erasure
(4) Right to restriction of processing
(5) Right to data portability
(6) Right to object
(7) Right to complain to a supervisory authority
According to the DSG, you have the right to revoke consent once given at any time – this applies to the future and does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
You can assert these rights directly against Facebook or against us (see also «Responsibility regarding the processing of Insights data» above). If you would like to assert your rights against us, please contact us at the e-mail address lip@lipschule.ch and explain your specific request as precisely as possible.
You have a right of objection regarding the processing by cookies. You can exercise this, for example, as follows:
You can restrict or completely prevent the setting of cookies in your browser settings. You can also arrange for the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser window. The links below will tell you how to change cookie settings or delete them in the most popular browsers:
