Visiting without providing personal data
The NPK website can be used without providing personal data. If such data is collected on our website, this is done with the user’s consent.
Cookies
We use cookies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They are used to improve the functionality and security of our website. Cookies do not damage your device and do not contain viruses.
The majority of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies. These are automatically reset at the end of your visit (“session”). Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow our website to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
We deliberately do not use tracking and profiling systems such as Google Analytics.
Server log files (“server log files”)
The provider of the websites collects and stores some of the information automatically transmitted to us by the user’s browser in its server log files. This data is not personal data, but information such as the user’s browser type (Safari, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox) and the version of the browser, which cannot be assigned to a specific person. This data is not merged with personal data.
Membership and newsletter
When you register for the Private Litigation Network and our newsletter, we collect a limited amount of personal data from you. These are
First name and surname
Organization and city
E-mail address
The collection of this data is essential for the existence of the network and allows us to plan events and send out the newsletter. Members can unsubscribe from the network and newsletter at any time. In connection with the newsletter, we deliberately refrain from using tracking systems and analysis tools.
We work with the newsletter distribution platform “MailChimp” to manage our newsletter subscriber list. MailChimp stores the subscribers’ data on its servers in the USA and is obliged to ensure their IT and data security on the basis of a data processing addendum with us. MailChimp uses the information of our subscribers exclusively to send the newsletter on our behalf. MailChimp may not write to our subscribers itself and does not pass on your data to third parties. We have made an opt-out declaration to ensure that MailChimp does not use our subscribers’ data for its own analysis purposes. MailChimp is certified under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Shield Framework and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Shield Framework. For more information, please refer to MailChimp ‘s privacy policy and your options regarding data processing and deletion by MailChimp.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data by us is mainly Art. 13 para. 1 of the Data Protection Act (DSG) (consent of the data subject) and Art. 13 para. 2 lit. a DSG (in direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract).
We store your personal data for as long as is necessary for your membership of the network and the delivery of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the network and thus also from the newsletter at any time and/or request that we irrevocably delete your data.
As explained above, we work with MailChimp in connection with newsletter management. This newsletter distribution platform has been carefully selected by us and meets the highest security standards. We only disclose data to our service partners to the extent necessary for them to provide their services.
