PRIVACY POLICY OF LUZI AG

Thank you for your interest in our organisation. We take data protection seriously.
 
In principle, you can use our website without sharing any personal data. If a data subject wishes to use our organisation's services via our website, personal data processing may be required. If the processing of personal data is required, and no legal basis for such processing exists, we always obtain the consent of the data subject.
 
The processing of personal data (e.g., name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject) always complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and our country-specific data protection regulations.
 
With the following privacy policy, we would like to inform the public about the nature, extent and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. In addition, data subjects are informed of their rights under this privacy policy.
 
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through our website. However, data transmission over the Internet is liable to security gaps, meaning that 100% protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, data subjects can, of course, also transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. DEFINITIONS

This privacy policy is based on the definitions used by the European regulatory authority when adopting the GDPR (Article 4 GDPR). This privacy policy should be easy for anyone to read and understand. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terminology used. This privacy policy uses, among other things, these definitions:

​

  • “Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

  • “Data subject” means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the data controller.

  • “Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;

  • “Restriction of processing” means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future;

  • “Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements;

  • “Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;

  • “Recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing;

  • “Third party” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data;

  • “Consent” of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

  • “Pseudonymization“ is a data management and de-identification procedure by which personally identifiable information fields within a data record are replaced by one or more artificial identifiers, or pseudonyms. A single pseudonym for each replaced field or collection of replaced fields makes the data record less identifiable while remaining suitable for data analysis and data processing.

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malicious software.
 
The cookie stores information that is particular to each specific device used. This does not, however, give us direct knowledge of your identity.
 
On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our services more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are automatically deleted after leaving our website.
 
In addition, to improve usability, we also use temporary cookies that are stored on your device for a specified period of time. If you revisit our website to use our services, it will automatically detect that you have already visited us and what settings and adjustments you selected to avoid the need to repeat these processes.
We also use cookies to statistically measure the use of our website and for the purpose of evaluating how we optimise the services we offer you (see point 7). When you revisit our site, these cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have previously visited us. These cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined time.
