Millennium Center SA is responsible for the collection, processing and use of your data and ensures that it complies with Swiss and, where applicable, European law.

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable legal provisions and this privacy policy. Below we inform you about the data which are collected on this website and how they are used. You will also find out how to check the accuracy of this information and how you can have us remove these data.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing and use of your data as indicated here. This website can in principle be consulted without registration. Data such as the pages visited or the name of the file accessed, the date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without these data being directly linked to you. Personal data, such as your name, address or email address, are, as far as possible, collected on a voluntary basis. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Scope of application

Personal data is any information which relates to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is a person about whom personal data are processed. Processing includes any processing of personal data by whatever means and procedures, including the storage, disclosure, obtaining, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Act. In addition, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal principles in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR, to the extent that the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) is applicable:

• the data subject has consented to the processing of his personal data.

• the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the
  request of the data subject.

• the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, if any, under the applicable law of the European Union or the law of a state in which the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.

• the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

• the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data prevail. Legitimate interests include our commercial interest in being able to provide our website and services, information security, the enforcement of our own rights and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the time necessary for the respective purpose(s). In the case of long-term retention obligations due to legal or other obligations to which we are subject, we will limit the processing accordingly.

• the name of your internet service provider

• your IP address (in certain circumstances)

• your browser version

• the operating system of the computer with which this website was accessed

• the date

• the time

• the website from which you are visiting this website

These data may, depending on the circumstances, allow conclusions to be drawn about a particular visitor. However, personal data will not be used in this context.

Cookies

We usually use cookies on our website. These are small text files which are saved by your web browser and store certain settings and data for exchange with our web server. This technology allows individual users to be recognized as visitors. In general, cookies are used to improve our services and make them more efficient and secure. A cookie does not always mean that we can identify you.

You can configure your browser settings so that no cookies are stored on your computer. Disabling cookies completely may mean that you will not be able to use all the features of our website.

By continuing to use our website and/or accepting this privacy policy, you consent to our placing cookies and thus to the collection, storage and use of personal user data, even after the end of the browsing session. You can revoke this consent at any time by activating the default setting in your browser to refuse third-party cookies.

Newsletter

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address and information which enables us to check that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. We only use the data to send the requested information. You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your data and email address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by using the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

Subscription to our newsletter is done through a double confirmation procedure. This means that after you have subscribed, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can subscribe with the email address of a third party.

The subscription to the newsletter is recorded in order to be able to prove the subscription process in accordance with legal requirements. The time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address are stored for this purpose. Changes to your data stored with MailChimp are also logged.

Mailchimp

The newsletter is sent via MailChimp, a newsletter sending platform of the American provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The email addresses of the recipients of our newsletter, as well as their other data defined in the context of this information, are stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate newsletters at our request. MailChimp may also use the data, on its own terms, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimization of the sending and presentation of newsletters or for economic purposes to determine the country of the recipients. MailChimp does not, however, use the data of our newsletter recipients for the purpose of contacting these persons directly or passing on the data to third parties.

We trust the reliability, the security of the computer system and the data security at MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield agreement and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection requirements. You can find MailChimp's privacy policy at this link.

Analytical tools: Matomo (formerly Piwik)

This website uses Matomo, a web analysis service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand.

Matomo uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer to analyze your use of the website. For example, Matomo records information about your operating system, the browser you are using, your IP address, the web page you previously visited (referring URL) and the date and time you visited our website. We need this data in order to analyze the use of our website and its components in order to improve the website and make it even more user-friendly. The anonymization of the IP address in the last two bytes takes into account the user's interest in the protection of their personal data. The data is never used to personally identify the user of the website. The data collected by Matomo is stored on our own servers. It is not passed on to third parties. You can find Matomo's privacy policy at this link.

2) You can activate the "do-not-track" function in your browser. Our Matomo system is configured to respect this setting. How this works is explained in detail in the instructions provided by your browser's publisher.

3) At the bottom of this page, you can set an opt-out cookie, which is valid for two years. This will mean that Matomo will no longer record your future visits. Please note, however, that the opt-out cookie is also deleted when you delete all cookies.
