We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) or Google Ireland Limited (if you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, for Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) the purpose of designing and continuously optimizing the Ferrum websites to meet your needs.
In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of Ferrum websites such as
are transmitted to a Google server at and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that they cannot be assigned (IP masking).
We maintain social media profiles on Facebook and LinkedIn.
The data you enter on our social media profiles will be published by the social media platform and will not be used or processed by us for any other purpose at any time. However, we reserve the right to delete content should this be necessary. We may communicate with you via the social media platform.
Please be aware that the operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Web tracking, over which we have no influence, can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform.
More detailed information on data processing and further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy as well as your right to object to the creation of user profiles by the provider of the social media platform can be found in the privacy policy of the respective provider:
As long as the links on our websites to Facebook or LinkedIn are not clicked and therefore the Ferrum websites are not left and the browser is not switched to the social media platform , no user data will be transmitted to this social media platform.
When you contact us (by e-mail or telephone), the data you provide will be processed by us in order to answer your inquiry and to contact you.
Insofar as statutory retention obligations exist, the personal data concerned will be stored for the duration of the retention obligation. After the retention obligation has expired, a check is made to determine whether there is any further need for processing. If it is no longer necessary, the data will be deleted or anonymized.
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of the contract with you, if the transfer is permitted on the basis of a balancing of interests, if we are legally obliged to pass on the data or if you have given your consent to do so. However, your data will never be resold.
This relates in particular to the following positions (not an exhaustive list):
These recipients are predominantly in Switzerland, but may also be based outside Switzerland. In particular, you must expect your data to be transferred to all countries in Europe and the USA where the service providers we use are located (e.g. Microsoft, Google). If we transfer personal data to a country without adequate data protection, we take suitable precautions to continue to protect your personal data appropriately (e.g. by agreeing so-called EU standard contractual clauses), by checking that the respective companies are certified in accordance with the Data Privacy Framework (if the data recipient is based in the USA or stores the data there) or rely on the statutory exceptions, such as consent, contract processing or the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims.
Within the company, those departments that require your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations will have access to it.
We take appropriate technical and organizational security precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorized access and misuse, such as issuing instructions, training, IT and network security solutions, access controls and restrictions, encryption of data carriers and transmissions, pseudonymization and controls. We regularly review our security measures and adapt them to the state of the art.
You have the right to information about the personal data we process about you. If the legal requirements for this are met, you are also free to request data transfer, correction, deletion or restriction of processing.
We ask for your understanding that we may request proof in such cases to ensure that you are the person you claim to be.
You are also free to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. Within the framework of the legal requirements, you also have the right to object to certain processing, for example if this is carried out on the basis of a public interest or a balancing of interests. In particular, you have the right to object to the processing of your data in connection with direct advertising if this is carried out on the basis of a balancing of interests. Please note that a revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.
We do not carry out any profiling or automated individual decisions with your personal data.
You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about our processing. The supervisory authority responsible for private individuals in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) (Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, Switzerland).
In order to continuously improve our services and integrate new technologies, it may be necessary to update our privacy policy. We will inform you of any significant changes by means of a corresponding notice in a suitable place on our websites. The currently valid privacy policy will always be in the appropriate place published .on our websites
