2. Data Protection Officer

The Fondazione per l’Istituto di Ricerca in Biomedicina has appointed a Data Protection Officer who can be contacted using the e-mail address privacy@irb.usi.ch.

 

3. Types of data processed

Upon visiting our website, the system automatically records data and information about the user’s computer each time the website is accessed. The following data (“technical information”) is collected:

  • IP address of the access device

An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. Our interest in data processing is also justified by these purposes. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act and where applicable the GDPR. In addition, we use cookies (see point 5) and analysis services (see point 6) when you visit our website.

5. Use of Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text 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 cause any damage to your terminal device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.

The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages on our website and to set the language of the website. These are automatically deleted after leaving our website.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for you for the purpose of optimising our website (see point 6). These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. The complete deactivation of cookies can, however, result in the functionality of our website being restricted.

 

6. Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under the laws of Ireland (registration number: 368047) with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”).

Google Analytics uses so-called cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

 

However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google will previously truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services to the website operator relating to website activity and internet usage.

Unless specifically stated, we will only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

 

8. Data transfer and transmission abroad

In principle, we use your personal data only within our company.

If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts (e.g. service providers, IT providers), such personal data will only be provided to the extent that the transmission is necessary for the corresponding service.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of the data processing (“contract processing”), we contractually oblige contract processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR and the Swiss Data Protection Act and to guarantee the protection of the rights of the data subject.

A data transfer to places or persons outside the EU or Switzerland does not take place and is not planned. The only exception to this is described in point 7.
