The website of Data Quest AG (hereinafter referred to as "DQ Solutions") is subject to Swiss data privacy law, in particular pursuant to the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP), as well as any applicable foreign data privacy law, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU). The EU recognises that Swiss data protection law ensures adequate data protection.
Access to our website is via transport encryption (SSL/TLS).
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for us. The use of the Internet pages of DQ Solutions is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the legal data protection provisions. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, DQ Solutions has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

When visiting our website, we initially only collect and use the data mentioned in section 3. In addition, we only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) or, if and insofar as applicable, Art. 6 (1) lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) or, if and to the extent applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b FADP shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) or, if and insofar as applicable, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO shall serve as the legal basis for the processing.Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) or, if and insofar as applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.The following data is collected:
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user arrives at the website or the link to the website to which the user goes contains personal data.The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) or, if and to the extent applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
These websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.Through the use of cookies, the users of this website can provide more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the sense of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
Our website uses cookies. When a user calls up a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly.
The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user's surfing behaviour.
In this way, the following data can be transmitted:
Analysis cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimise our offer.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) or, if and to the extent applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f FADP.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.
The newsletter is sent on the basis of registration by the user on the website or via one of our sales offices (at the request/with the consent of the customer).
On our website and in our sales offices, it is possible to subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us.
The following information is collected when you register: Salutation, first name, last name and e-mail address of the user.
In addition, the following data is collected during registration, which is used to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used or to be able to prove your consent:
Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data during the registration process and reference is made to this data protection declaration.
The newsletter is also sent on the basis of the sale of goods or services.
If you purchase goods or services on our website and provide us with your e-mail address, we may subsequently use this e-mail address to send you a newsletter and for marketing purposes. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter.
No data will be passed on to third parties in connection with the processing of data for the dispatch of newsletters. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and for our own marketing purposes.
The legal basis for the processing of data after the user has registered for the newsletter is the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) or, if and to the extent applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DPA if the user has given his consent.The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) as well as Swiss legislation in the area of Unfair Competition or, if and insofar as applicable, Section 7 (3) UWG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSG. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user's email address is therefore stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.
The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter.
This website uses MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. MailChimp is a service with which, among other things, the newsletter dispatch can be organised and analysed. The data you enter to receive the newsletter (e.g. email address) is stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA.
MailChimp is certified according to the 'Swiss-US Privacy Shield' and the 'EU-US Privacy Shield'. The 'Privacy Shield' is an agreement between Switzerland or the European Union (EU) and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with Swiss and European data protection standards in the USA.
With the help of MailChimp, we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want any analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe directly on the website.
The data processing is based on your consent (Federal Data Protection Act [DSG] or, if and insofar as applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of MailChimp after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
For more details, please refer to MailChimp's privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
We have concluded a so-called 'Data Processing Agreement' with MailChimp, in which we oblige MailChimp to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties. This agreement can be viewed at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/sample-agreement/.

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.
The other personal data processed during transmission serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
In this context, the data is not passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for the processing of data is the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) or, if and insofar as applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO, if the user has given his or her consent.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is the Federal Act on Data Protection (DSG) or, if and insofar as applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If the e-mail contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) or, if and insofar as applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b FADP.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
The user has the option to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail (contact form), he or she can object to the storage of his or her personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued and the revocation must be made by telephone.
All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand from the controller that the personal data concerning him or her be erased without undue delay, provided that one of the grounds set out in the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) or, if and insofar as applicable, in Article 17(1) of the FADP applies.
Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right to receive the personal data relating to him or her which has been provided by the data subject to a controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) or, if and to the extent applicable, Art. 6(1)(a) FADP or Art. 9(2)(a) FADP or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) FADP and the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures.
If personal data of yours is processed, you are a "data subject" within the meaning of the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) or, if and to the extent applicable, the GDPR, and you have the following rights vis-à-vis us as the controller. You can exercise your rights by contacting us stating your concern.
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her carried out on the basis of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) or, if and to the extent applicable, of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The company shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the company processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) or, if and to the extent applicable, the GDPR.
The controller has integrated the Google Ads component on this website. Google Analytics uses cookies and usually stores them outside the EU/EFTA area.
Google uses this information to evaluate the use of the website for DQ Solutions and to compile reports on website activity and internet usage. Furthermore, Google transfers this information to third parties according to its own information, insofar as this is legally required or insofar as third parties process this data on behalf of Google. The IP address transmitted by the browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies (see "Cookies" above). Users can also prevent the transmission of the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the website (incl. IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
As an extension of Google Ads, the website also uses the Google Signals service. With Google Signals, cross-device reports can be created by Google (so-called "cross-device tracking").
Provided that users are logged into their Google account when they visit the website, perform a conversion and have activated "personalised ads" in the settings in their Google account. The data shows, among other things, on which device they first came to the website and on which device the associated conversion took place. DQ Solutions does not receive any personal data here, but only statistics created on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the "personalised ads" function in the settings of your Google account and thus switching off the cross-device analysis. Please follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de.Further information can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de
Google AdWords, an analysis service from Google, is used on our website and conversion tracking is used as part of Google AdWords. Google AdWords places a cookie for conversion tracking on your computer's hard drive (a so-called "conversion cookie") when you click on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookies is used to create statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. Through these statistics, we learn the total number of users who clicked on the ad placed by Google and accessed a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag.
In addition to conversion tracking, we also use the following functions
With Google's remarketing function, we reach users who have already visited our website. This allows us to present our advertising to target groups who are already interested in our products or services. AdWords also uses user behaviour on websites in Google's advertising network ("display network") over the last 30 days and the contextual search engine to determine the common interests and characteristics of users of our website. Based on this information, AdWords then finds new potential customers for marketing purposes whose interests and characteristics are similar to those of the users of our website. Target group-specific remarketing is carried out through the combined use of cookies, such as Google Analytics cookies and Google DoubleClick cookies.
Further information on the terms of use and data protection for Google AdWords can be found at the following link: http://www.google.de/policies/technologies/ads.
Our website uses so-called social plug-ins ("plug-ins") of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition "Social Plug-in from Facebook" or "Facebook Social Plugin".
You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page. This integration provides Facebook with the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, e.g. by clicking the "Like" button or posting a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
