​

If processing is based on your consent or on our legitimate interests, you may withdraw your consent or object to such processing at any time by contacting us directly at contact@dubris.ch.

Therefore, we may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) when necessary for the data processing described in this privacy policy, in compliance with applicable law.

Personal data is generally deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is necessary to comply with legal obligations (e.g. retention and documentation requirements), contractual or pre-contractual obligations, or our legitimate business interests (e.g. the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims).

On this basis, we generally process personal data in accordance with the following rules and obligations:

​

§ Personal data automatically transmitted by your use of our portal (see section 3.1) for the purpose of displaying, operating, and ensuring the functionality of the portal is deleted within three to six months.

§ For contract-related personal data (including business records and communications), we store personal data for as long as the contractual relationship exists, and thereafter for an additional ten years following the termination of the contractual relationship, unless (i) a shorter or longer statutory retention period applies in the individual case, (ii) retention is required for evidentiary purposes or for another compelling reason under applicable law, or (iii) earlier deletion of the data is required (e.g. because the data is no longer needed or because we must delete the relevant data).

Cookies and Similar Tools

When you access or use the website, we may place so-called cookies—small text files—or similar tools on your computer. We use these cookies to recognize you as a user of the website, personalize content, improve the website’s performance, and enhance its usability.
 

§ Categories of Cookies We Use

Depending on their function and purpose, the cookies we use can be classified into the following categories: functional cookies, performance cookies, and advertising cookies.
 

§ Functional Cookies:

These cookies serve a variety of purposes related to the display, functionality, and performance of a website, especially to improve the experience and enjoyment of visitors. They allow a website to remember previously entered information (e.g., username, location, or language preferences) and offer visitors enhanced, personalized features. Functional cookies are used, for example, to remember things like your login credentials. These cookies do not track your activity on other websites.
 

§ Performance Cookies:

These cookies are used to collect information about how a website is used—e.g., how visitors arrived at our website, which pages are most frequently accessed, how you navigated through the website during your visit, and whether you encountered error messages. We may also use these cookies to provide us with statistical and analytical information, such as how many visitors visited our website. These cookies are used to monitor website activity levels and improve website performance.

​

§ Advertising Cookies:

Advertising cookies allow us or a third party to display ads on our website or on third-party websites featuring products that may interest the user. This ensures that the ads you see are more relevant to your preferences or interests (sometimes referred to as "targeting cookies"). These cookies may also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising and promotional campaigns.

These cookies may be placed by us or by a third party on our behalf. For more information about cookies and how they are used, visit: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/.

​

The legal basis for data processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest arises from orders, inquiries, offers, and contact forms.

​

You can configure your browser settings to prevent cookies from being stored on your computer. Disabling cookies entirely may prevent you from using all features of our website.

​

By continuing to use our website and/or consenting to this privacy statement, you agree to the placement of cookies by us and the collection, storage, and use of personal usage data, even beyond the end of the browser session. You can withdraw this consent at any time by activating the browser setting to block third-party cookies.

​

b) Google Analytics
 

DUBRIS AG uses the website analytics service Google Analytics, which is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The cookies used by Google Analytics are stored on your computer, enabling the analysis of your use of the website.

​

We use Google Analytics based on our legitimate interest in analyzing and regularly improving our website, as well as improving our services and making them more attractive for you through the insights gained from the statistics. Furthermore, the use of Google Analytics is based on your consent to track (tracking) your browsing behavior on our website and its analytical evaluation.

​

The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a server in the USA by Google.

These cookies may contain the following information, for example: IP address, the number of visits, date and time of visit, duration of the visit, your entry page (referring URL), the pages visited on our website, browser type/version, and operating system used. Google will use this information on our behalf because we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our website’s content and advertising. Google uses this information to evaluate the use of our website, to generate reports on website activity, and to provide additional services related to the use of the website and internet usage. Additionally, pseudonymized usage profiles of users may be created from the processed personal data.

​

We have enabled IP anonymization (also known as IP masking) on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within the European Union member states, in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and in Switzerland before being transferred to the USA.

​

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of personal data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this personal data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Alternatively, or within mobile device browsers, you can prevent the collection of your personal data by Google Analytics by clicking the following link: Disable the collection of personal data by Google Analytics for this website. In this case, an opt-out cookie will be set on your device that prevents the future collection of your usage data when visiting this website. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click this link again. For more information on how Google handles user data in Google Analytics, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

​

Furthermore, it may be possible for Google to review a user's use of the website and combine the collected personal data with other information about the user, which Google has independently collected from other websites the user has visited, and use this information for its own purposes (e.g., to control advertising) under its own responsibility based on its privacy policy. Further information on how Google processes personal data can be found in the relevant privacy policies of Google: https://policies.google.com/?hl=en; https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

c) Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API service, a mapping service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and provides you with a convenient map feature.

The legal basis for processing is your consent, which you voluntarily provide when creating a route plan, and our legitimate interest in displaying our location and making the location specified on our website easy to find.

​

By using Google Maps, information about your use of our website, including your IP address, may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may transfer the information collected by Google Maps to third parties if required by law or if third parties process the data on behalf of Google.

​

Google will not associate your IP address with other Google data. However, it is technically possible that Google could identify individual users based on the received data. It is possible that personal data and user profiles of website users could be processed by Google for other purposes, which we have no influence or control over.

​

It is possible to disable Google Maps and prevent data transfers to Google by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, please note that in this case, you will not be able to use the map display.

For this reason, you are free at any time to transmit your personal data to us via other means, such as by telephone. Once we receive your data, we apply strict procedures and stringent security measures to prevent unauthorized access.

Please note that if you click on a link to a third-party website (e.g., Google, social media platforms, or other websites), you will be redirected to a site that we do not control, and our privacy policy will no longer apply. Your browsing and interaction on any other website are subject to the terms of use, privacy policies, and notices of those third-party websites. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of these links.

​

We recommend that you carefully read the terms of use and the privacy policies and notices of other websites before submitting any personal data through those sites. We are not responsible or liable for the content or the processing of personal data on such third-party websites.

You have the right to exercise your data protection rights at any time and, upon proof of your identity, to obtain information about your stored personal data, to have it corrected or supplemented, to object to the processing of your personal data, or to request the deletion of your personal data.
