Data Protection

With this data protection declaration, we, Seraina Invest AG, provide information about the processing of personal data in connection with our offering “Les Vignes” (hereinafter the “Offer”), including the corresponding website “villas-lesvignes.ch” (hereinafter the “Website”).

Our Offer is subject to Swiss data protection law, as well as, where applicable, foreign laws, in particular those of the European Union (EU). The EU recognizes that Switzerland has legislation ensuring an adequate level of data protection.

For certain specific or additional offers and services, separate, supplementary, or additional data protection declarations may apply.

  1. Processing of Personal Data

1.1

Personal data means all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any operation relating to personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, including storage, disclosure, collection, deletion, recording, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

1.2

We process personal data necessary to ensure the Offer can be provided securely and reliably over the long term (legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, where applicable: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and f).

We also process personal data that individuals voluntarily provide when using the Offer and the Website, for example when placing an order, making contact, or subscribing to a newsletter. Providing personal data that is not strictly required is voluntary.

1.3

We always process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection law, in particular the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

If the processing of personal data is necessary and no general legal basis applies (e.g. necessity for contract performance), we obtain the consent of the data subject (legal basis under GDPR, where applicable: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

1.4

Each time our Website is accessed — as is standard when visiting any website — we collect general data recorded for each access in server log files. We collect in particular the corresponding date and time, including time zone, the Internet Protocol (IP) address used, operating systems and browsers used, including language and version, the pages accessed, and the page from which visitors reached our Website (referrer).

We do not identify individuals using this general data. We require this information to deliver the Website, maintain its long-term functionality, and continuously improve it (legal basis under GDPR, where applicable: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

We process this general data in anonymized form and analyze it statistically to ensure data security and protect personal data.

1.5

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the corresponding purposes.

1.6

We may have personal data processed with the assistance of third parties and by third parties — including abroad. Such processors handle personal data on our behalf and exclusively within the scope of this data protection declaration.

1.7

We may disclose personal data to affiliated companies — including abroad. We ensure that these companies process personal data exclusively within the scope of this data protection declaration.

1.8

Otherwise, we do not disclose personal data to third parties without the consent of the data subject. Exceptions include legal disclosure obligations and disclosures necessary to assert our own legal claims and protect legitimate interests (legal basis under GDPR, where applicable: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

1.9

Legal basis under GDPR — where applicable — for processing necessary to protect vital interests of data subjects or other persons: in particular Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.

1.10

Legal basis under GDPR — where applicable — for processing necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests when no other legal basis applies: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms or interests of data subjects do not override, especially where children are concerned.

In this context, our legitimate interest lies in ensuring our entrepreneurial activity for the benefit of the public, property owners, clients, and employees, and in complying with Swiss law.

  1. Organizational and Technical Measures

2.1

We implement appropriate organizational and technical measures to ensure data protection and data security. Where personal data is processed abroad or by third parties, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is maintained.

2.2

Despite these measures, the processing of personal data on the internet may generally involve security vulnerabilities, meaning absolute data protection and security cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, data subjects are free to communicate personal data to us by other means, such as by postal mail.

2.3

Access to the Website is secured via transport encryption (SSL / TLS).

2.4

Access to the Website — like any use of the internet — is subject to mass surveillance without specific cause or suspicion, as well as other monitoring measures by security authorities in Switzerland, the EU, the United States of America (USA), and other countries. We have no influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by intelligence services, police, or other security authorities.

  1. Newsletter

3.1

Visitors to the Website may subscribe to newsletters by email. Registration follows a “double opt-in” procedure, meaning subscriptions must be expressly confirmed via confirmation email to prevent misuse with third-party email addresses (legal basis under GDPR, where applicable: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

3.2

Newsletter registrations are recorded to allow proof of confirmation via the double opt-in procedure.

3.3

Subscribers may unsubscribe at any time. Each newsletter email contains a one-click or one-tap unsubscribe option.

  1. Cookies and Tracking Pixels

4.1

For the Website and newsletters, we may use cookies and tracking pixels (web beacons) — including those of third parties. Cookies are small text files stored on visitors’ devices (e.g. smartphones and other computers).

4.2

Cookies and tracking pixels serve — including via third parties (third-party cookies) — to deliver the Website, maintain its long-term functionality, and continuously improve it (legal bases under GDPR, where applicable: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR).

We also require cookies to process orders, particularly for shopping cart functionality (legal basis under GDPR, where applicable: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

4.3

Cookies can be disabled and deleted at any time, in whole or in part, via browser settings. Tracking pixels can also be blocked via browser settings or suitable extensions. If cookies are disabled (in whole or in part) and tracking pixels blocked, the Offer may become less user-friendly or partially unusable.

  1. Third-Party Services

For hosting the Website, we cooperate with Infomaniak. The corresponding data relating to our Offer is stored in Switzerland. Infomaniak is subject to Swiss data protection law.

  1. Rights of Data Subjects

6.1

Individuals whose personal data we process may obtain confirmation free of charge as to whether personal data is being processed and, where applicable, request information about the processing, restrict processing, exercise their right to data portability, request correction, deletion (“right to be forgotten”), or blocking of their data, withdraw consent granted, and object to processing.

6.2

Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

6.3

We voluntarily grant individuals rights that may not be provided under Swiss data protection law — where permitted by Swiss law — whenever and insofar as European data protection law provides such rights.

  1. Tracking and Analytics Tools

Google Analytics

This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files stored on your computer enabling analysis of Website usage.

Information generated by these cookies — such as time, location, and frequency of use — is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. When using Google Analytics, it cannot be excluded that cookies may collect additional personal data beyond the IP address.

Google may transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where third parties process the data on behalf of Google.

Google uses this information on behalf of the Website operator to evaluate Website use, compile reports on Website activity, and provide other services related to Website and internet usage. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser within Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

You may prevent the storage of cookies via appropriate browser settings; however, you may then not be able to use all Website functions fully.

To prevent Google Analytics from collecting and transmitting information regarding your Website use, you may download and install a browser add-on at:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

This add-on prevents transmission of visit information to Google Analytics. It does not prevent other analyses.

Google Maps

Our Website uses Google Maps (API) from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; European controller: Google Limited Ireland, “Google”). Google Maps is a web service enabling interactive maps for visualization of geographic information.

When accessing subpages containing Google Maps, information about your use of our Website is transmitted to Google servers in the United States and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether you are logged into a Google account.

If you are logged in, your data is directly linked to your account. To avoid this association, you must log out before activating the feature. Google stores data as usage profiles (even for non-logged-in users) and analyzes them. For data transfers to the United States, Google has committed to standard contractual clauses of the EU.
