Data Protection Statement
With this Data Protection Statement we inform you why, how and where we process personal data, in particular in connection with our website stv-fsg.ch and our additional offer. In addition, with this document we provide information on the rights of persons whose data is processed.
For individual or additional offers and services, special, additional or supplementary data protection declarations as well as other legal documents such as general terms and conditions (GTC), terms of use or conditions of participation may apply.
1. Contact addresses
Is responsible for the processing of personal data:
Swiss Gymnastics Federation
Bahnhofstrasse 38 Postfach
5001 Aarau stv@stv-fsg.ch
If necessary, we will inform you if the processing of personal data is entrusted to other persons in charge.
2. Processing of personal data
2.1 Concepts
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data are processed. Processing shall include any processing of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures involved, in particular the storage, disclosure, obtaining, collection, erasure, retention, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.
2.2 Legal basis
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection legislation, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) and the Ordinance on the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA).
2.2 Type, volume and aim
We process personal data that is necessary to provide our offer in a permanent, user-friendly, safe and reliable manner. This personal data may fall into the following categories: inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, metadata or marginal data and usage data, location data, sales, contract and payment data.
We process personal data for the period of time necessary to achieve the respective purpose or as required by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer necessary will be rendered anonymous or deleted. Persons whose data we process generally have a right of deletion.
In principle, we only process personal data with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permitted for other legal reasons, e.g. to perform a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre-contractual measures, to protect our overriding legitimate interests, because the processing is obvious from the circumstances or after prior information.
In this context, we process in particular information that a person concerned provides to us voluntarily and personally when contacting us - for example, by letter, e-mail, contact form, social media or telephone - or when registering for a user account. We may store this information, for example, in an address book or with comparable aids. If you transmit personal data to us via third parties, you are obliged to ensure data protection vis-à-vis these third parties and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.
We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, that we obtain from publicly available sources or that we collect in the course of providing our services, if and insofar as such processing is permitted on legal grounds.
Personal data of applicants are only processed to the extent that they are necessary for the assessment of suitability for an employment relationship or the subsequent performance of an employment contract. The personal data required for the application procedure is derived from the information requested or provided, for example, in the context of a job offer. Applicants have the opportunity to provide additional information voluntarily for their respective applications.
2.3 Processing of personal data by third parties, including abroad
We may have personal data processed by commissioned third parties or process them jointly with third parties or with the help of third parties or pass them on to third parties. These third parties include in particular service providers whose services we use. We also guarantee appropriate data protection in the event that processing is carried out by these third parties.
These third parties are generally located in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, such third parties may also be located in other states and territories of the earth as well as elsewhere in the world, provided that their data protection law guarantees adequate data protection according to the opinion of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or if adequate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, for example by a corresponding contractual agreement, in particular on the basis of standard contractual clauses, or by a corresponding certification. Exceptionally, such a third party may be located in a country where data protection is not adequate, provided that the requirements of data protection law, such as the explicit consent of the data subject, are met.
3. Rights of the persons concerned
The persons concerned whose personal data we process are entitled to the rights provided for in the Swiss Data Protection Act. These rights include the right to information as well as the right to rectify, delete or block processed personal data.
The persons concerned whose personal data we process have a right of appeal to a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
4. Data security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data protection and security in particular. However, despite these measures, the processing of personal data on the Internet may still have security gaps. We can therefore not guarantee absolute data security.
Access to our online offer is via transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the secure hypertext transfer protocol, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a lock in the address bar.
