This website uses Google Ads Remarketing and/or Doubleclick by Google, services of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") to display ads based on the use of previously visited websites. For this purpose, Google uses the so-called DoubleClick cookie, which enables your browser to be recognized when you visit other websites. The information generated by the cookie about your visit to this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States (see below for more information on the transfer of personal data to the United States).

It may happen that content or services from third-party providers, such as city maps or fonts from other websites, are integrated within the online offering of SkAI Data Services. The integration of content from such third-party providers always requires them to recognize the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, the content cannot be sent to the respective browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. Third-party providers can also set their own cookies and process user data for their own purposes. User profiles can be created from the processed data. SkAI Data Services uses this content in the most data-efficient and data-avoiding manner possible and selects reliable third-party providers with regard to data security.

8) Cookies
Cookies help in many ways to make your visit to the website easier, more pleasant and more meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically stores on your computer's hard disk when you visit the website. Cookies do not damage your computer's hard disk, nor do they transmit personal user data to SkAI Data Services.
SkAI Data Services uses cookies, for example, to better tailor the information, offers and advertising displayed to you to your individual interests. Their use does not result in SkAI Data Services obtaining any new personal data about you as an online visitor. Most Internet browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a message always appears when you receive a new cookie.
If you deactivate cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of the website.
9) Secure data transmission with SSL
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to SkAI Data Services cannot be read by third parties.
10) Tracking tools
SkAI Data Services uses so-called tracking tools on the website. These tracking tools are used to monitor your surfing behavior. This observation is carried out for the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of the website. In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and small text files stored on your computer ("cookies") are used.
a) Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. SkAI Data Services has also added the code "anonymizeIP" to Google Analytics on this website. This guarantees that your IP address is masked so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
On behalf of SkAI Data Services, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to SkAI Data Services. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, SkAI Data Services would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google. You can adjust the settings for Google Analytics in the cookie banner on the website.
SkAI Data Services also uses Google Analytics to analyze data from double-click cookies and ads for statistical purposes. If you do not want this, you can deactivate this via the Ads Preferences Manager.
b) Google Ads
SkAI Data Services uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain Internet pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and SkAI Data Services can recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible for cookies to be tracked via the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. This tells them 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 tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google's privacy policy can be found here.
11) Transfer of personal data abroad
SkAI Data Services is also entitled to transfer your personal data to third-party companies (contracted service providers) abroad, provided that this is necessary for the data processing described in this privacy policy and if this does not seriously jeopardize the privacy of the data subjects.
These third-party companies are obliged to protect data to the same extent as SkAI Data Services. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or the EU, SkAI Data Services will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or the EU at all times. Where necessary, the user expressly agrees to this.
Users residing in an EU member state or Switzerland are advised that the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection from the perspective of the European Union. The new Data Privacy Framework (data protection agreement between the EU and the USA) came into force on July 10, 2023. US companies can join the framework by committing to comply with data protection regulations. This will make data transfers to the USA much easier. US companies can attest to their participation in the data protection framework through certification. The agreement is administered by the US Department of Commerce. This is also where the certification applications are processed and monitored.
Where possible, SkAI Data Services transfers data to the USA to appropriately certified companies. If this is not the case, there is a risk that user data will be processed by authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal recourse.
12) Right of access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing; right to data portability
You have the right to receive information about the personal data stored about you by SkAI Data Services free of charge upon request. In addition, you have the right to rectification of inaccurate data and the right to erasure of your personal data, provided that this does not conflict with any legal obligation to retain data or a permission that allows SkAI Data Services to process the data. You also have the right to request the restriction of data processing and to object to data processing.
You also have the right to request the return of the data that you have provided to SkAI Data Services. Upon request, SkAI Data Services will also forward the data to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a commonly used file format.
You can contact SkAI Data Services for the aforementioned purposes via the e-mail address contact@skai-data-services.com. SkAI Data Services may, at its discretion, request proof of identity in order to process your requests.
