Introduction

h2i respects the privacy of individuals and companies and is committed to protecting your details. We provide this Privacy Statement to inform you of our privacy policy and associated practices.

Acceptance

Please read the privacy statement through carefully. By accessing the website https://h2i.ch/ and its content you are agreeing to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Privacy Statement and the terms and conditions of access. If you do not agree with any of the following terms, please refrain from using this website.

Collection of Personal Information

We may request personal information from you, including, but not limited to your name, email address, company name, and telephone number to allow us to respond to your inquiries. Your response to these requests is strictly voluntary.

Use of Cookies

Cookies are small files that a website places on your hard drive to easily identify you when you return or to help “personalize” your visit.

Social Plugins

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) provided by the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are identifiable by a Facebook logo (white letter f on blue background or a thumb up icon) or the notice “Facebook Social Plugin”. For a full list of all social plugins please see developers.facebook.com/plugins.

When you visit a page of our website that contains a social plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook servers. Facebook directly transfers the plugin content to your browser which embeds the latter into the website, enabling Facebook to receive information about your having accessed the respective page on our website. Thus we have no influence on the data gathered by the plugin and inform you according to our state of knowledge:

The embedded plugins provide Facebook with the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged into Facebook, your visit can be assigned to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking “Like”, or entering a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored by it. Even if you are not logged into Facebook, there is possibility that the plugins transmits your IP-address to Facebook.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Facebook, as well as your rights in this respect and settings options for protecting your privacy please visit Facebook’s privacy policy: www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to connect the data concerning your visit to our website with your member data already stored by Facebook, please log off Facebook before entering our website. Further you can block Facebook Social Plugins by using add-ons for your browser, like the “Facebook Blocker”.
