Information on data processing in connection with Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the person responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google".

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files which are stored on the website visitor's computer and which enable the website visitor's use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the site visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal references. The extension shortens the IP address of 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google will use the information collected on behalf of the website operator to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymization.

Google LLC. offers a guarantee to maintain an adequate level of data protection on the basis of the standard contractual clauses. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The website visitor can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set which prevents the future collection of data when visiting this website.

Further information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection options, can be found in Google's privacy policy(https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google(https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Within the online offer of the site operator, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are resident in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used due to the legitimate interests in analysis, optimization and economic operation of the online offer and for these purposes.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to the website operator's online offering as a target group for the display of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, the website operator uses the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in the online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that the website operator transmits to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, the website operator would also like to ensure that the Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, the website operator can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by determining whether users were redirected to the website www.consciousunion.ch after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

The Facebook pixel is integrated directly by Facebook when our website is accessed and can store a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on the website visitor's device. If the website visitor subsequently logs in to Facebook or visits Facebook while logged in, the visit to the website operator's online offering is noted in the website visitor's profile. The data collected about the site visitor is anonymous to the site operator and therefore does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and can be used by Facebook and for its own market research and advertising purposes. If site operators transmit data to Facebook for comparison purposes, this data is encrypted locally on the browser and only then sent to Facebook via a secure https connection. This is done for the sole purpose of creating a comparison with the data encrypted in the same way by Facebook.

Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel, the website operator uses the additional function "extended matching" (data such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses or Facebook IDs of users) to form target groups ("Custom Audiences" or "Look Alike Audiences") to Facebook (encrypted). Further information on "extended matching": https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668).

reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (Google) to protect your requests via the Internet form. The query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. The deviating data protection provisions of Google apply to this data.
