When you visit our website www.eichenberger.com, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.
The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:
We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:
The data is only stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. As a rule, the log files are automatically deleted after 6 months.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.
We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You will find more detailed explanations in the corresponding provisions of this privacy policy.
Contact, offer and inquiry forms are available on our website which can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of such an option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.
The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us in particular to process the contact. In doing so, we base the processing on the legal basis of legitimate interest (processing of the contact; Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR if applicable or Art. 31 para. 1 FADP) or, in the context of the offer form, the data is processed for the performance of a contract with the data subject, including pre-contractual measures, the legal basis is therefore Art. 31 para. 12 lit. a FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if applicable.
The personal data entered in the input screen is also used to protect our confidentiality interests and to prevent misuse of the contact, offer and inquiry form, in particular by determining from whom an inquiry originates. In doing so, we rely on the aforementioned legitimate interest and thus the legal basis of Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR if applicable.
You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data for the future at any time. In this case, the request you have made can no longer be processed.
If you contact us directly by e-mail or telephone, we will process the data you provide (e-mail address or telephone number, surname, first name and other personal data you provide) exclusively for the purpose of processing your inquiry for the purpose of processing the contact on the basis of a legitimate interest (answering inquiries; Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR if applicable or Art. 31 para. 1 FADP).
You have the right to object to the processing at any time, in which case the conversation cannot be continued.
We regularly send our customers and other interested parties newsletters on current topics, events and other offers with promotional content. You have the option of subscribing to our newsletter by providing us with your e-mail address for this purpose (e.g. at a trade fair) or by registering for the newsletter via our website. We process personal data about you, such as your contact details (name and email address), as part of the registration and mailing process.
We store the data that we process from you in this context for as long as you are registered for the newsletter or for as long as is necessary to fulfill other legal obligations or for reasons of proof.
You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time and object to the receipt of advertising information by e-mail (newsletter dispatch) and revoke your consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch.
There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of withdrawing consent. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter via the contact address info@eichenberger.com.
We process your personal data in this context on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, if this provision is applicable, or, if we do not require consent, on the basis of our legitimate interest (direct marketing) in accordance with Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, if the provision is applicable.
Our current vacancies are always published on our websites. In this regard, we refer you to the separate data protection information at the appropriate place.
We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.
Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.
On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again in order to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The use of technically necessary cookies and the related processing of your data is carried out on the legal basis of our legitimate interests in the design of a user-friendly website in accordance with Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, insofar as this provision is applicable.
If we use cookies that are not technically necessary and process personal data about you in this context, we require your consent in accordance with Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, insofar as this provision is applicable.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely deactivating cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.
The cookies and tracking methods used on our website originate either from us or from third-party providers. These third-party providers may record user behavior on the website. These recordings can be linked by the respective provider with similar information from other websites. The behavior of certain website visitors can thus be recorded across several websites and several end devices. The respective third-party provider may also use this data for its own purposes. If you are registered with the respective third-party provider, they can link the data. With regard to this data processing, we refer you to the data protection provisions of the respective provider.
We use analysis services to evaluate how you reached our websites and how you use them.
We process your personal data in this context on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, if this provision is applicable, or, if we do not require consent, on the basis of our legitimate interest in the design of our website in accordance with Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, if applicable.
With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimization of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you.
The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.
We use Google Conversion Tracking to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you. Google Ads places a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Ads customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also reject the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". You can find Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
We also use the Google Tag Manager, which can be used to manage analysis and tracking tags via an interface. This works to the extent that a page load process is detected by the Tag Manager. Depending on the configuration, this loading of the website triggers a Google Analytics tag. The data from this tag is then sent back to the Google Analytics server so that a pseudonymized analysis of user behaviour can be carried out. No cookies are set by the Google Tag Manager and no personal data is collected. Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
We are active on various social networks (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube).
The data published by you on our social media pages (such as user names, comments, videos, images, likes, etc.) are published by the respective providers. However, we can delete the content if necessary. If you communicate with us via social media or comment on or disseminate content from us, we collect the relevant information and process your personal data. When you visit our social media sites, further data such as your user behaviour may be collected and linked with other data already known to the provider and used for other purposes such as marketing or personalization of content by the provider.
We are jointly responsible with the respective provider for data processing in connection with our social media presences. However, we have no influence on the data processing of the respective provider.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if the person concerned has expressly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce our claims arising from a contractual relationship and for credit checks.
We also use service providers, in particular for hosting, IT support, online marketing activities, operating the website, delivering the newsletter, contact management, handling advertising and marketing measures and handling the recruitment process. We select our service providers carefully and are obliged by law to monitor data processing by these companies and to oblige them not to process the data for their own purposes or to pass it on to unauthorized third parties.
We forward your personal data to third parties or external service providers abroad for the purpose of the data processing described in this privacy policy. Transfers mainly take place in the European Economic Area (EEA) and member states of the European Union (EU). From Switzerland's perspective, these countries have an adequate level of data protection.
If we transfer data to a recipient in a country without adequate legal data protection (e.g. in the context of the use of cookies and tracking/analysis tools), we ensure technically and contractually (e.g. through so-called standard contractual clauses; Art. 46 para. 1 lit. c GDPR or Art. 16 para. 2 lit. d FADP) that your data is adequately protected or obtain your consent for these data transfers (if applicable in accordance with Art. 49 GDPR). 1 lit. c GDPR or Art. 16 para. 2 lit. d FADP) ensure that your data is adequately protected or obtain your consent for these data transfers (if applicable in accordance with Art. 49 GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 17 para. 1 lit. a FADP).
We process and store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations, for evidence purposes or to fulfill the purposes of data processing specified by us or evident from the circumstances. Your data will then be deleted.
Below we inform you about the rights you have in connection with the personal data processed about you. Please note that these rights may be restricted in individual cases, for example if this is necessary to protect other persons, to safeguard legitimate interests or to comply with legal obligations.
You have the right to request information about which data about you is being processed. You also have the right to request the rectification, erasure or restriction of the processing of your data and, where applicable, the right to data portability.
If the data processing is based on a public or legitimate interest, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising.

You are entitled to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time.
