Data Protection Guidelines

Respon­si­bi­lity
The Verein ART FLOW (Asso­cia­tion AF), loca­ted at Pre­di­ger­gasse 10, 8001 Zurich, is respon­si­ble for imple­men­ting the ART FLOW pro­ject as a com­po­nent of Regio­nale 2025 – Pro­jekt­schau Lim­mat­tal. The objec­tive is to pro­duce and com­mu­ni­cate new, spe­ci­fi­cally deve­lo­ped art pro­jects. The Verein ART FLOW is respon­si­ble for the lawful pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data coll­ec­ted, used and stored in con­nec­tion with its acti­vi­ties.

Coll­ec­tion, Use and Pro­ces­sing of Per­so­nal Data

Per­so­nal data of third par­ties is coll­ec­ted and pro­ces­sed when using the web­site www​.art​-flow​.ch, pri­ma­rily in the con­text of regis­tering to receive the news­let­ter and to par­ti­ci­pate in events and out­reach pro­gram­mes. The fol­lo­wing per­so­nal data is coll­ec­ted in this con­text: Name, e‑mail address, home address, busi­ness address and tele­phone num­bers of the user if he/​she pro­vi­des them, infor­ma­tion on the events of the Asso­cia­tion AF in which the user has alre­ady par­ti­ci­pa­ted, IP address, ope­ra­ting system used, brow­ser ID and brow­ser acti­vity and inter­ac­tion with our or other web­sites of the user.

Pur­pose of Per­so­nal Data Pro­ces­sing

The per­so­nal data coll­ec­ted is used to pro­cess con­tracts with our cus­to­mers and busi­ness part­ners, in par­ti­cu­lar in the con­text of par­ti­ci­pa­tion in our events. In addi­tion, the data is used for the pur­pose of adver­ti­sing our events and pro­jects as well as for inter­nal asso­cia­tion sta­tis­tics on the use of our offers. By sub­mit­ting your per­so­nal data, you con­sent to the rele­vant use of your data. You can revoke this con­sent at any time.

Coo­kies

We use coo­kies to faci­li­tate the use of our web­site. Coo­kies are infor­ma­tion files that your web brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cally stores on your com­pu­ter’s hard drive when you visit our web­site. The infor­ma­tion con­tai­ned in the coo­kies is used to con­trol the ses­sion, in par­ti­cu­lar to improve navi­ga­tion and enable a high degree of user-fri­end­li­ness of a web­site. They also make it pos­si­ble, in par­ti­cu­lar, to deter­mine the fre­quency of use and number of users of the pages, to ana­lyse beha­viour pat­terns of page use, but also to make our offer more user-fri­endly. Most Inter­net brow­sers accept coo­kies auto­ma­ti­cally and coo­kies remain stored beyond the ter­mi­na­tion of the brow­ser ses­sion and can be retrie­ved when you visit the site again. Howe­ver, you can con­fi­gure your brow­ser so that no coo­kies are stored on your com­pu­ter or a mes­sage always appears when you receive a new cookie. Deac­ti­vat­ing coo­kies may mean that you cannot use all the func­tions of our web­site. A gene­ral objec­tion to the use of coo­kies for online mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses can be declared for many of the ser­vices, espe­ci­ally in the case of track­ing, via the US site http://​www​.abou​tads​.info/​choic… or the EU site http://​www​.you​ron​line​choices​.com/. In addi­tion, the sto­rage of coo­kies can be dis­ab­led by deac­ti­vat­ing them in the brow­ser set­tings. Please note that you may then not be able to use all the func­tions of this online offer. The pro­vi­der of this web­site auto­ma­ti­cally coll­ects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called server log files, which your brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cally trans­mits to us. These are: Brow­ser type and brow­ser ver­sion, ope­ra­ting system used, refer­rer URL, host name of the acces­sing com­pu­ter, time of the server request.

Data trans­fer

In the con­text of per­so­nal data pro­ces­sing, the Asso­cia­tion AF uses a cloud solu­tion from an exter­nal ser­vice pro­vi­der. The data trans­fer takes place on the basis of a con­tract on com­mis­sio­ned data pro­ces­sing, in which the exter­nal ser­vice pro­vi­der has under­ta­ken to comply with the duties of care in accordance with data pro­tec­tion law. Beyond this, we only pass on your data if we are obli­ged to do so by law or by offi­cial or court orders.

Dura­tion of Sto­rage of Per­so­nal Data

We pro­cess and store your per­so­nal data for as long as it is neces­sary for the ful­film­ent of our con­trac­tual and legal obli­ga­ti­ons or the pur­po­ses pur­sued with the pro­ces­sing, i.e. for exam­ple for the dura­tion of the entire busi­ness rela­ti­onship (from the initia­tion, pro­ces­sing to the ter­mi­na­tion of a con­tract) as well as beyond that in accordance with the legal sto­rage and docu­men­ta­tion obli­ga­ti­ons. In this con­text, it is pos­si­ble that per­so­nal data will be retai­ned for the time during which claims can be asser­ted against our asso­cia­tion (i.e. in par­ti­cu­lar during the sta­tu­tory limi­ta­tion period) and inso­far as we are other­wise legally obli­ged to do so or legi­ti­mate busi­ness inte­rests require this. As soon as your per­so­nal data is no longer requi­red for the above-men­tio­ned pur­po­ses, it will be dele­ted or anony­mi­sed as a matter of prin­ci­ple and as far as pos­si­ble.

Rights of the Data Sub­jects
Within the frame­work of the data pro­tec­tion law appli­ca­ble to you, you have the right to infor­ma­tion, cor­rec­tion and dele­tion, the right to rest­rict data pro­ces­sing and to object to our data pro­ces­sing, as well as to the release of cer­tain per­so­nal data for the pur­pose of trans­fer­ring it to ano­ther entity (so-called data por­ta­bi­lity). Please note, howe­ver, that we reserve the right to enforce the rest­ric­tions pro­vi­ded for by law, for exam­ple if we are obli­ged to retain or pro­cess cer­tain data, if we have an over­ri­ding inte­rest in doing so (inso­far as we are entit­led to rely on this) or if we need the data to assert claims. If you incur costs, we will inform you in advance. You can cont­act us for the afo­re­men­tio­ned pur­po­ses via the e‑mail address info@​art-​flow.​ch. We reserve the right to request proof of iden­tity in order to pro­cess your requests.

News­let­ter

You are wel­come to sub­scribe to our news­let­ter on our web­site. Regis­tra­tion is requi­red for this. The fol­lo­wing infor­ma­tion must be pro­vi­ded as part of the regis­tra­tion: first and last name, address, and email address. We use the infor­ma­tion only for the pur­pose of sen­ding our news­let­ter and for our own adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses. You are free to unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter at any time.
We use the list pro­vi­der MailChimp to send our news­let­ter. MailChimp is a ser­vice of The Rocket Sci­ence Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318 («Rocket»). The data stored during regis­tra­tion is trans­mit­ted to Rocket in encrypted form and stored by Rocket. After regis­tra­tion, MailChimp will send you an email to con­firm your regis­tra­tion. Fur­ther­more, MailChimp offers various ana­ly­sis opti­ons about how the sent news­let­ters are opened and used, e.g. to how many users an email was sent, whe­ther emails were rejec­ted and whe­ther users unsub­scri­bed from the list after recei­ving an email. MailChimp also uses the Google Ana­ly­tics ana­ly­sis tool from Google, Inc and may inte­grate it into the news­let­ters. Fur­ther details on MailChimp’s data pro­tec­tion can be found at www​.mailchimp​.com/​l​e​g​a​l​/​p​r​i​vacy/.

Google F
onts
Our web­site uses so-called web fonts pro­vi­ded by Google for the uni­form dis­play of fonts. When you call up a page, your brow­ser loads the requi­red web fonts into its brow­ser cache in order to dis­play texts and fonts cor­rectly. If your brow­ser does not sup­port web fonts, a stan­dard font is used by your com­pu­ter. For more infor­ma­tion about Google Web Fonts, please visit https://​deve​lo​pers​.google​.com/… and read Goo­g­le’s pri­vacy policy: https://​www​.google​.com/​p​o​l​i​c​i​e​s​/​p​r​i​vacy/.
