Data protection
With this data protection declaration we, the Institute for Culture and Music, inform about the processing of personal data in connection with our offers, including our corresponding chordernationen.ch website (hereinafter the "website").
Our offer is subject to Swiss data protection law and any applicable foreign data protection law, in particular that of the European Union (EU). The EU recognizes that Switzerland has legislation that ensures adequate data protection.
Special, supplementary or further data protection declarations may exist for individual and additional offers and services.
1. Processing of personal data
1.1 Personal data is all information relating to a specific or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, saving, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
1.2 We process the personal data that is necessary to be able to guarantee the offer permanently, securely and reliably (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b and f of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, DSGVO). We also process the personal data that people provide themselves when using the offer and website - for example when placing an order, contacting us or subscribing to a newsletter. The disclosure of unnecessary personal data is voluntary.
1.3 We always process personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection law, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP). If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no general legal basis for such processing, such as the need to fulfill a contract, we will obtain the consent of the person concerned (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
1.4 Every time you visit our website - as is standard when accessing any website - we collect general data that is stored in server log files for each individual access. For access, we record the respective date and time, the Internet Protocol (IP) address used, the operating systems and browsers used including versions, the individual websites accessed and the website via which the visitor reached our website (so-called referrer). We do not identify any individuals with this general data. We need this general information in order to deliver the website, to keep it permanently functional and to be able to continuously improve it (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We process this general data anonymously and evaluate it statistically in order to guarantee data security for the offer so that we can ensure the protection of personal data.
1.5 We only keep personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes.
1.6 We can have personal data processed with the help of third parties and by third parties – also abroad. Such processors process personal data on our behalf and exclusively within the scope of this data protection declaration.
1.7 We can disclose personal data to companies - also abroad - that are connected to us. We ensure that such companies only process the relevant personal data within the framework of this data protection declaration.
1.8 Otherwise, we do not disclose any personal data to third parties without the consent of the person concerned. Excluded from this are legal disclosure obligations and disclosure in order to assert one’s own legal claims and disclosure in order to protect such legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
1.9 The legal basis according to the GDPR for the processing of personal data, which is necessary to protect the vital interests of data subjects or other persons, is in particular Art. 6 para. 1 let. d GDPR.
1.10 The legal basis according to the GDPR for the processing of personal data that is necessary to protect our legitimate interests but is not covered by any other legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, provided that no fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights or interests of the data subjects that require the protection of personal data prevail, especially if the data subjects are children. When processing personal data in this context, our legitimate interest lies in ensuring our own entrepreneurial activity for the benefit of the general public, owners and employees.
2. Organizational and technical measures
2.1 We take appropriate and suitable organizational and technical measures to ensure data protection and data security. When processing personal data abroad or by third parties, we ensure that appropriate data protection is guaranteed.
2.2 In spite of organizational and technical measures, the processing of personal data on the Internet can generally have security gaps, so that absolute data protection and absolute data security cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to provide us with personal data in another way, such as in particular by post.
2.3 The website is accessed using transport encryption (SSL / TLS).
2.4 Access to the website is subject - as is basically all internet use - to mass surveillance without cause and suspicion, as well as other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the EU, the United States of America (USA) and other countries.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Use includes the "Universal Analytics" operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user's activities across devices.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Section 15 (3) TMG and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month. You can find more information on the terms of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out to you, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on. Opt-out cookies prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you must opt out on all systems used.
