Status: 12.03.2021

1. General
This website is provided by Timly Software AG, a company based in Switzerland that develops and offers software. We make this site available to you in order to inform you about how we handle your personal data collected on the site.

2. Responsible entity
The responsible body for processing under its own responsibility in the sense of data protection law is:

Timly Software AG

Schweiz
Tel.: +41 (0)44 500 35 24

3. Access and activity logs (“server logs”)
Every time this site is accessed, general log data, so-called server logs, are automatically recorded. These data are usually pseudonyms and therefore do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. Without this data, it would not be technically possible in part to deliver and display the contents of the website. In addition, the processing of this data is absolutely necessary for security reasons, in particular for access, input, transfer and storage control. Furthermore, the anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes as well as for optimising the offer and the technology. In addition, the log files can be subsequently checked and evaluated in the event of suspicion of illegal use of the website.

Data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system, the IP address and the time stamp of access to the website are generally recorded. The scope of this logging does not exceed the usual scope of any other website on the Internet. The storage period of these access logs is up to 7 days. There is no right of objection.

4. Error logs
For the purpose of error identification and correction, so-called error logs are created. This is absolutely necessary in order to be able to react to possible problems in the presentation and implementation of content as promptly as possible (legitimate interest, Art. 6, 1S. 1 lit. F GDPR). These data are usually pseudonyms and therefore do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a natural person.

When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system, the IP address and the timestamp when the corresponding error message/specification occurred are recorded.

The storage period of these error logs is up to 7 days. There is no right of objection.

5. Use of cookies
In some cases, so-called cookies are used on the site. These are small text files which are stored on the device with which you access the website. In principle, cookies are used in particular to ensure security when visiting a website (“absolutely necessary”), to implement certain functionalities such as standard language settings (“functional”) or to improve the user experience or performance on the website (“performance”).

Right to object: You can determine yourself via your browser settings whether you want to allow cookies or object to the use of cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may result in limited or completely disabled functionality of the website.

6. Use of third-party tools
In order to provide and continuously improve our services, we rely on the services of the following third-party providers, through which personal data may also be processed. We have selected these third party providers carefully and in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR.

A. Google
Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, the operator of all Google services mentioned here is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

Google Tag Manager
The “Google Tag Manager” service is used on this website. The Tag Manager is a tool for managing so-called tags, which are used for tracking in online marketing. The Tag Manager itself does not process any personal data, as it is used purely for the administration of other services – e.g. Google Analytics, etc. Further information on the Tag Manager can be found at google.com.

Google Analytics
The “Google Analytics” service is used on this website. The operator of this service is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

The information generated by the cookies is sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use is based on legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in using this service is that we need to be able to analyse and optimise the use of our website. Google is Privacy Shield certified and in this respect guarantees Swiss and European data protection law.

On our website, the Google Analytics service is used exclusively pseudonymously. Your IP address is only recorded in abbreviated form and thus anonymised.

Google Audiences / Remarketing
We use the “Google Audiences” service on this website. The purpose of this service is the interest-based display of advertisements for users. This requires an analysis of website usage, which is carried out using cookies. The cookies store anonymised or pseudonymised data relating to the use of the website. No personal data is stored.

Doubleclick by Google
The “Doubleclick by Google” service is used on this website. This service uses cookies to show you advertisements that are relevant to you. This is done by means of a pseudonymous identification number (pID), which is assigned to your browser. This pID enables the service to recognise which advertisements have already been displayed to you and which have been called up. The cookies used do not contain any personal data. Rather, the cookies are used to serve advertisements across websites by enabling Google to identify the pages visited. The information generated by the cookies is transferred by Google to a server in the USA for evaluation and stored there. A transfer of data by Google to third parties only takes place on the basis of legal regulations or within the framework of commissioned data processing. Under no circumstances will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google.

B. YouTube
This website uses the “YouTube” service to embed videos on the site. The operator of the plug-in required for this is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

To make this possible, we have implemented the Facebook Remarketing tag on our website. This tag establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers when the website is visited. Facebook thereby receives information about the pages you have visited on our website. Facebook then matches this information with your Facebook user account. The next time you visit Facebook, you will then be shown personalised, interest-based advertisements “Facebook Ads”.

This is done on the basis of legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in using this service is to target the users of the website with advertising. Facebook is Privacy Shield certified: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacyshield
