By using this website of JalTarang, you provide your clear consent – where required – to the processing of your personal data as described in this privacy policy.

Purpose of processing in general

The collected (personal) data of the users may be partially used for marketing purposes. The main purpose of collecting personal data is for the use and maintenance of the website. More specific information is available in the provisions below.

When contacting JalTarang, for example through the contact form, the information and contents of the form are used and stored for processing the request and possible follow-up questions. 

Collection, processing and use of personal data in general

We gather, process and use personal data of users in compliance with the applicable data protection provisions of USA, India and the European Union. JalTarang processes personal data that has been collected in good faith and in a lawful manner comprehensible for the respective person and in accordance with the following provisions. Unless specified otherwise, the mentioned terms follow the REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016 on the protection of people with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation, hereafter “GDPR”). 

Certain informations are automatically stored or collected, whenever users visit our website. For the specific data collected, please refer to the following sections (cookies, plug-ins etc.).

Legal basis in general

The personal data of users is by default only processed after the user has provided consent. An exception shall apply in cases when consent cannot be obtained in advance for fact full reasons and it is permitted to process the data due to legal provisions or primary interests.

For the cases in which we obtain consent for processing personal data from the respective person, Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR or Art. 13 Para. 1 in conjunction with 4 Para. 5 Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) shall serve as legal basis.

When processing personal data is required for fulfilment of a contractual obligation with the respective person being the contractual party, Art. 6 Para. 1 (b) GDPR and Art. 13 Para. 2 (a) FADP shall serve as legal basis. This also applies to processing required for executing pre-contractual measures.

When personal data need to be processed to preserve a legitimate interest of our enterprise or of a third party and the interests, basic rights and freedoms of the affected person do not outweigh the former interests, Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR and Art. 13 Para. 2 FADP shall serve as legal basis for processing personal data. 

Collection of general information when visiting the website

Each and every  time the website is accessed, we automatically collect certain information. This information is referred to as server log files.

The collected information includes:

Access date and time, web browser and version used, referrer URL (the page from which you access our website), and the IP address.

This data is stored in the log files for debugging purposes and to be able to identify the doer in case of online attacks (hacking etc.). Therefore, the collection of personal data is mandatory while a limitation of or objection to data processing could lead to loss of full functionality of the website, which is why such limitation or objection is only possible in part.

Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR and Art. 13 Para. 2 FADP serve as legal basis for temporarily storing data and log files.

Personal data will be deleted after three to six months at the latest.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics makes it possible to issue dates, sessions and interactions across several devices to one pseudonymous user ID and therefore analyse the activities of a user on several devices.

Google Analytics also uses cookies (see above description in Item 6). The information about your use of our website generated by cookies (such as web browser and version used, operating system of the user, domain name of the Internet provider of the user, referrer URL, abbreviated IP address) is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that Google truncates the IP address within member states of the European Union and other contractual states of the treaty of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Therefore, JalTarang is no longer able to match the address to a person.

Google uses the information on our behalf to anonymously evaluate your use of the website, compile reports about website activities and provide further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet in general to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser for Google Analytics is not linked with other data provided by Google.

If you object to this, you can prevent your data from being collected through cookies and regarding your personal website use (incl. IP address) by Google and stop Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

You may prevent cookies from being stored by changing the settings in your browser software. However, we would like to inform you that in this case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR and Art. 13 Para. 2 FADP as we rely on the information collected (in anonymous form) for the purposes of improvement.

The collected data are deleted automatically after 14 months.

More information about the terms of use and data protection is available at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or at https://policies.google.com/?hl=gb.

Contact form

Contact forms are available on our website that can be used to make contact electronically. If a user uses this option, the data entered in the form will be transferred to us and saved. These details are:

1. Name
2. E-mail address
3. Message

At the time of sending the contact form, the following data is also stored:

1. The user’s IP address
2. Date and time of the communication

In order to process personal data, your consent is obtained during the sending process and reference is made to this privacy policy.

Alternatively, contact is possible via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data communicated by e-mail will be stored.

In this context, there is no disclosure of the data to third parties, with the exception of the aforementioned disclosure within JalTarang. The personal data from the entry form is processed entirely for contact and conversation purposes. The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. 

The legal basis for the data processing is the user’s consent as per Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) GDPR and Art. 13 Para. 1 FADP. The legal basis for the processing of data communicated in the course of sending an e-mail is Article 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR and Art. 13 Para. 2 FADP. If the e-mail contact aims to conclude a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 (b) GDPR and Art. 13 Para. 2 (a) FADP.

The user has the possibility to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. However, if the user contacts us by e-mail, they may object to the storage of their personal data at any time. Hence in such a case, conversation cannot continue. All personal data that is stored in the course of establishing contact will be deleted in this case. If consent is not revoked, the data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed. Previous legal provisions remain reserved.

Integration of further services and content of third parties

Our offer sometimes includes content and services from other providers. These are, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube and pictures and images from other websites. In order for this data to be accessed and displayed in the user’s browser, disclosure of the IP address is absolutely necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) therefore see the IP address of the respective user.

Although we aim to only use third-party providers who only need the IP address to deliver content, we have no control over whether the IP address is stored. This process is used for statistical purposes, among others. If we become aware that IP addresses are being stored, we will inform our users.

Storage period

Unless otherwise stated in individual cases, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not obstruct any statutory storage obligations.

Modifications to the privacy policy

We reserve the right to modify the privacy policy, in order to modify it to changed legal situations, or to changes in the service and data processing. However, this only applies to declarations of data processing. If consents are required or parts of the privacy policy contain provisions of the clean and fair relationship with you, the changes will only be made with your consent.

More information

JalTarang aims to store your personal data by taking all appropriate technical and organisational measures so that it is not accessible to third parties. When communicating by e-mail, complete data security cannot be guaranteed, so it is recommended that you send confidential information by post. 

Employees and service providers appointed by JalTarang are required to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the applicable privacy policies.

We take technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art, in order to ensure that the provisions of the data protection laws are complied with and to protect the data we manage from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.
