3. GATHERING AND USE OF OTHER INFORMATION
We may also collect other information through our Site or Marketing Communications (“Other Information”), including:
- Through your browser: Certain information is collected by most browsers, such as your computer’s Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type, screen resolution, operating system version and Internet browser type and version, the website from which the file was accessed, and geographic location.
- Through log files and resource monitoring: An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and may be identified and logged automatically in our log files and elsewhere whenever a user visits the Site, along with time stamp, clickstream information, details of your visit to our Site, resources you access, and pages you visit. We use this information in order to enable the use of the Site, to ensure continued system security and stability and thus optimize the Site as well as for internal statistical purposes such as calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, determining your geographic area, administering the Site, and to improve our services and make them more effective. Apart from the IP address, the data mentioned above will generally not be linked to specific individuals and also not collected and combined with other Personal Information. The IP address will only be analyzed in the event of an attack against the network infrastructure of the Site.
- Using cookies: Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer that you are using. Greenlock and our service providers use cookies and other technologies for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, display information more effectively, and to personalize your experience on the Site, as well as for online tracking purposes. We may provide cookie information to a service provider who performs analytics relating to website usage. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to decline cookies. You may also wish to refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org for more information about cookies. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Site and may not be able to use all of the functions and features provided by the Site.
- Using web beacons and other similar technologies: Greenlock also uses technology, such as web beacons, to track the navigation paths used by visitors to our Site and transmit that information to third-party service providers who assist Greenlock in improving the relevance of the information that we provide to our visitors. Our email publications also may include beacons. The email beacon has two functions. First, it determines whether an email recipient has opened an email, which helps Greenlock maximize relevancy of subject lines and content as well as determine readership levels. Second, the beacon determines whether an email recipient is capable of receiving an HTML-based email. This helps us optimize email content and improve the overall communication experience.
- By aggregating information: We may aggregate Personal Information so that the end product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site, such as by using Personal Information to calculate the percentage of our users who use a Site in a particular geographic region. Aggregated Personal Information does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site.
If Other Information does not personally identify you, we may use and disclose it for any purpose. If Other Information is correlated with Personal Information, or if we combine any Other Information with Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information as long as it is combined.
4. JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES
The Site is controlled and operated from Switzerland and is not intended to subject Greenlock to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country or territory other than Switzerland. We may transfer Personal Information to any country where we have operations or service providers. If the level of data protection in any country should not meet Swiss or EU-data protection requirements, we will ensure by contract that the protection of your personal data will meet the requirements applicable in Switzerland and/or the European Economic Area.
5. EMAIL MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
When subscribing to the newsletter, we may occasionally send you information, news and materials regarding Greenlock and its products and services that might be of interest to you, subject to your agreement until you unsubscribe the newsletter.
If you prefer not to receive marketing emails from us in the future, you can request to be removed from our e-mail marketing lists at any time by ‘unsubscribing’ in accordance with the instructions on these emails to you.
6. RE-TARGETING
We reserve the right to use so called re-targeting technology. Thereby your user behavior on the Site will be analyzed to provide you with promotional offers tailored to your individual needs also on our partner websites. Your user behavior will be recorded under a pseudonym. The re-targeting technologies are generally working with cookies. You may reject re-targeting at any time by de-installing the respective cookies in the menu of your internet browser.
The Site may use Google AdWords Remarketing and DoubleClick by Google, both services of Google Inc. (“Google”) to provide advertisements that are based on the use of previously visited websites. Google uses a so-called DoubleClick cookie, which enables recognition of your browser when you visit other websites. The information generated by the cookie about visiting these websites (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the websites in order to compile reports on the website-activities and advertisements for the website operator and to provide further services relating to use of the websites and the Internet. Google may forward such information, where appropriate, to third parties, if required by law or where such third party processes such information on behalf of Google. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
The Site may also use the LinkedIn Insight Tag which uses a cookie and allows for re-targeting advertising (only on the LinkedIn platform), and allows us to build an anonymous audience of LinkedIn members based on our website visitors. More information can be found here https://www.linkedin.com/help/lms/answer/a489169
To manage the services regarding usage-based advertising, we may use Google Tag Manager. This tool does not use cookies under its domain and does not collect Personal Information. The tool rather triggers other tags, which in turn may capture Personal Information. If you have placed a deactivation on a domain or cookie level, such deactivation will remain in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.
7. TRACKING TOOLS
We use the Google Analytics web analytics service to ensure a customer-oriented design and the continuous improvement of our websites. We will create pseudonymized user profiles and cookies stored on your computer for this purpose. The information about your use of the Site generated by the cookie, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited website), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of server inquiry, and device, are forwarded to and stored on servers of Google Inc., USA. The IP address will be shortened by activating the IP anonymisation (“anonymizeIP”) on the Site before a transfer to other Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Your anonymous IP address is not merged with other data of Google. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and shortened there. In such cases, we ensure by contractual guarantees that Google Inc. complies with an adequate level of data protection.
This information is used to evaluate the use of the Site, to prepare website activity reports and to provide additional services related to use of the Site and the Internet for market research purposes and the customer-oriented design of these websites. This information may also be forwarded to third parties, as the case may be, if required by law or to the extent that third parties are contracted for processing these data. According to Google the IP address will never be associated with other user data and IP addresses are anonymized in order to prevent any allocation (IP masking).
