5. Cookies
In many ways, cookies help make your visit to our website easier, enjoyable and meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically saves to your computer's hard drive when you visit our website.

Cookies may also be used to identify you as a registered user after you have registered on the website without having to log in again when you access another subpage.

6. Tracking tools
a) General
In order to facilitate the requirement-based design and continuous optimization of our website, we employ the web analytics service provided by Google Analytics. In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and small text files, which are stored on your computer ('cookies'), are used. The information generated by the cookie pertaining to your use of our website is usually transferred to a server run by the provider of such services, stored there and redacted for us. Furthermore, we may in certain cases receive the following data in addition to that listed under clause 1:
- The navigation path a visitor takes on the site,
- Length of stay on the website or subpage,
- the subpage from which the website is left,
- The country, region or city from which access is made,
- End device (type, version, color depth, resolution, width and height of the browser window) and
repeat or new visitor.
The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and tailoring of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this order data.
b) Google Analytics
The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc., a company of the holding company Alphabet Inc., based in the US. Prior to transfer of data to the provider, the activation of the IP anonymization ('anonymizeIP') is used to truncate your IP address within Member States of the European Union as well as other member states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google will not associate your transferred anonymized IP address with any other data held by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there. In these cases, we provide contractual warranties to ensure that Google Inc. complies with a sufficient level of data protection. According to Google Inc., the IP address will in no case be linked to any other user data.
For more information on the web analytics service used, visit the Google Analytics website. For instructions on how to prevent your data from being processed by the Web Analytics Service, refer to
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
c) Facebook Pixel
On this website we use the so-called 'Facebook pixel' by the provider Facebook (within EU: Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Irland; International: Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA). This is a small, invisible pixel that connects to Facebook servers when you visit our website. Personal data such as the IP address and other information such as browser type/version, operating system used, the page you visited, the host name of the accessing device, IP address and the time of the request might also be transferred. It is thus possible for Facebook to identify the users of our website and to specifically display advertisements that are of interest to our website. Furthermore, we may use the Facebook pixel to understand whether our Facebook ads are effective.
Where data is processed outside the EEA, i.e. in areas in which the level of data protection is not in line with European standards, this is achieved on the basis of the EU-US Privacy Shield:

7. Notice about data transfers to the USA
For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or domiciled in Switzerland or in the EU that there are surveillance measures in the US by US authorities, which generally allow for the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data was transferred from the EU to the USA. This is done without any differentiation, limitation or exception on the basis of the objective pursued and without an objective criterion that would allow for limiting the US authorities' access to the data or subsequent use thereof to very specific, strictly limited purposes, which would justify access to this data as well as the interference associated with its use. Furthermore, we would like to point out that in the USA there are no legal remedies available for the persons concerned from Switzerland, which allow them to obtain access to the data concerning them or effect their correction or deletion, as well as no effective judicial protection against the general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly inform the person concerned about this legal and factual situation in order to make a correspondingly informed decision to consent to the use of his data.
For users residing in EU Member States, please note that, from the point of view of the European Union, the US does not have sufficient data protection levels due, inter alia, to the issues mentioned in this section. As we have explained in this privacy policy, recipients of data (such as Google) who are based in the US will either be governed by contractual arrangements with or by ensuring the certification of such companies under the EU-US Privacy Shield to ensure that your data is protected at a reasonable level by our partners.
8. Right to information, correction, erasure and restriction of processing; Right to data portability
You have the right to receive information on the personal data that we store on you upon request. In addition, you have the right to correct inaccurate data and the right to have your personal data deleted, as far as there is no statutory storage obligation or an authorization requirement that allows us to process the data.
You also have the right to reclaim from us the data you have given us (right to data portability). On request, we can also pass the data on to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a common file format.
For the aforementioned purposes, you can reach us via the email address info@egina.com. We may, at our sole discretion, require proof of identity to process your requests.
9. Data security
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your stored personal data from manipulation, partial or complete loss and unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
You should always treat your access credentials confidentially and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share your computer with others.
We also take corporate privacy very seriously. Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us have been obliged by us to secrecy as well as complicity with data protection regulations.
10. Storage of data
We only retain personal information for as long as is necessary to use the above tracking and analysis services as well as any further processing within the scope of our legitimate interest. Contract data is kept longer by us, as this is required by statutory storage requirements. Retention requirements that oblige us to keep data arise from accounting and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communication, closed contracts and accounting documents must be kept for up to 10 years. Once we no longer need this data to carry out the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting purposes and for tax purposes.
