Data privacy

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

However, the following privacy policy is also aligned with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), insofar as this is relevant to us. The provisions of the GDPR only apply in relation to users from the EU.

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, processing, disclosure, procurement, storage, modification and deletion of personal data.

Categories of personal data collected
We, the Basel Chamber Orchestra, collect personal data that we receive when you contact us or in the course of our contractual relationship with you. This involves the following data:

• Title, first name, surname
• Position
• Your address
• E-mail address
• telephone number
• and other personal data provided by you.

In addition, we process - to the extent necessary for the provision of our services - personal data that we legitimately obtain from publicly accessible sources (e.g. the Internet).

Processing purpose
This data is collected where necessary:

• to be able to identify you as our customer,
• to conclude and fulfil a contract with you,
• for correspondence with you,
• to send you our newsletter,
• for registration in the ticket shop,
• for invoicing

Recipients
Where necessary, we pass this personal data on to our IT and telecommunications providers and our accounting department, insofar as this facilitates the execution of the transaction you have requested with us and serves the purpose of better fulfilling your wishes. External service providers (processors) are carefully selected and commissioned by us, they are bound by instructions and are regularly monitored. With your consent, we may also pass on personal data to other persons or authorities.

Art. 25, 28, 32 DSG
In principle, data subjects have a right to information, a right to data correction and deletion of their data, as well as a right to data disclosure or transfer in accordance with the DSG. You can contact the data protection officer if you have any questions in connection with data protection in accordance with the DSG and to assert your rights.

Art. 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 77 DSGVO
You have the right:

• in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO, to revoke your consent to us at any time;
• to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO;
• in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO, to immediately request the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us;
• in accordance with Art. 17 DSGVO, to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
• to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO;
• in accordance with Art. 20 DSGVO, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, and

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the previous statements on general data processing and the following statements. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or names of files accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. If personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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 you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server enquiry

However, if IP anonymisation is activated on our website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for the website operator and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

Facebook
Our website uses plug-ins from the social network Facebook, which is offered by Facebook Inc. The Facebook plug-ins are labelled with a Facebook logo or the addition Like or Share. An overview of the Facebook plug-ins and their appearance can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

When you access a page on our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page.

Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the Like button, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in Facebook's data protection information: www.facebook.com/policy.php.
