In this data protection statement, we provide information about how we collect and process personal data.
Personal data is defined as all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person
It is normally possible to use Ferrum’s website without providing any personal data. Insofar as our website
does collect personal data (for example, name, address or email addresses), this is done voluntarily
wherever possible. This data is not passed to any third party without your explicit consent.
Where no other party is specified for individual cases, Ferrum is responsible for the data processing described here. If you have any concerns relating to data protection, you can contact us using the following details:

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=enFor the purposes of designing Ferrum's website in line with users’ requirements and optimising it on an ongoing basis, we use the web-analysis service Google Analytics provided by Google LLC in the US (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).
For these purposes, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies are used. Information about your use of Ferrum's website collected in the cookie, such as
is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information is used in order to assess usage of the website, to compile reports about website activities, and to perform other services connected with website and internet usage for the purposes of market research and designing these internet sites to meet our users’ requirements. This information is also sometimes passed to third parties, where this is legally prescribed, or where third parties are contracted to process this data. Under no circumstances will your IP address be linked with other Google data. IP addresses are anonymised so that it is not possible to identify them (IP masking).
You can prevent cookies from being stored using the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note, however, that in this case, you may not always be able to use the full range of functions on Ferrum's website. In addition, you can prevent the data recorded by the cookie and data associated with your use of Ferrum's website (including your IP address) from being transmitted to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via this link:

The links on Ferrum's website to Facebook and other social media platforms work like normal links. As long as the links are not clicked on and you therefore do not leave Ferrum's website and navigate within the browser to, for example, Facebook, no user data will be transmitted to these social media platforms.
Where legal retention obligations exist, the relevant personal data will be stored for the length of time legally required. Once this legally-required retention period expires, we will assess if there is any further need to process the personal data. If there is no further need, the data is deleted.
Your personal data will only ever be disclosed to a third party if this is necessary for the purposes of fulfilling a contract with you, if disclosing the data is permitted having weighed the relevant interests, if we are legally obliged to disclose the information, or you have given your consent for us to do so. However, your data will never be sold on.
Within the company, access to your data will only be given to those persons that require it to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. Service providers employed by us can also access your personal data for these purposes.
This includes companies providing IT services, logistics, printing services,
telecommunications, debt collection, advice and consulting, and sales and marketing.
We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures in order to protect your personal data from unauthorised access and misuse. These measures include issuing instruction documentation, training, IT and network security solutions, access controls and restrictions, encryption of data carriers and transmissions, pseudonymisation, and monitoring.
You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the way we process your data. The responsible authority for private individuals in Switzerland is the Eidgenössische Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragte (EDÖB) (Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, Switzerland).
