4.1 GENERAL

In order to guarantee the full functionality of our digital presence, we may store so-called cookies in your device. A cookie is a small text file that is used, among other things, to collect information about the use of a website.

These cookies do not contain any personal data but only pseudonymous and usually anonymous information.

We use session-cookies which are automatically deleted from your device after the end of the browser session and persistent cookies which are automatically deleted from the device after expiration of the specific given time.

The website can also be used without cookies. You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your respective browser, restrict it to certain websites or set your browser in such a way that it informs you as soon as a cookie is sent. You can also delete cookies from your device's hard drive at any time using your browser. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. The functionality of the web site will be unaffected.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of our session-cookies by us in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

We use the information to compile reports and to help us improve the site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come to the site from, and the pages they have visited and the performance of the site. They contain no sensitive or personal data.

To ensure we comply with this policy, we do not use any of the following features of Google Analytics: Remarketing, Advertising and User-ID.

5. WILL WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH ANYONE ELSE?

We do not share any data collected.

6.1 RIGHT TO ACCESS AND INFORMATION

For any questions regarding the processing of your data, please contact us at the following address: Horizon Globex GmbH, Baarer Strasse 57, 6302 Zug, Switzerland, horizon@horizon-globex.com .

Should you wish to contact us by e-mail, please note that e-mails will be in an unencrypted form and will therefore be susceptible to the security risks typically associated with such methods of communication.

6.2 AMENDMENT, BLOCKING AND DELETION / WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT

If you would like any data to be amended, blocked or deleted, please contact us by e-mail: horizon@horizon-globex.com. If the deletion of any data is not permitted for statutory or contractual reasons or by commercial or tax law, in particular by statutory retention periods, the data will be blocked instead of deleted.

7. HOW SECURE IS YOUR DATA?

The data we collect and save is treated confidentially and, using appropriate technical and organizational precautions, protected from loss or manipulation as well as from unauthorized access by third parties.

Session information exchanged between your hardware and us is encrypted. We do not accept liability for any unauthorized access or loss or personal data that is beyond our control.

Our digital presence may contain links to other digital third-party content (e. g. by clicking a hyperlink) which is outside our control and is not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you access other digital third-party content using the links provided, the providers of this digital content may collect information from you which will be used by these providers in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from ours.

8. CHANGES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY

Changes to this Privacy Policy may be required from time to time, for example due to the ongoing development of our digital presence or as a result of changes in legislation. Horizon Globex GmbH therefore reserves the right to change the Privacy Policy at any time, with effect from a future date. Accordingly, we recommend that you re-read this Privacy Policy on a regular basis.
