4. Use of Your Data for Advertising Purposes

​

a) General Information

​

THRYVE Group AG may use personal data of users of www.thryvegroup.ch to promote its services (online and/or print advertising, etc.). THRYVE Group AG is authorized to share personal data for this purpose with third parties acting on behalf of THRYVE Group AG. By using the website, the user expressly agrees to this use of their data.

​

b) Re-Targeting

​

THRYVE Group AG uses re-targeting technologies on the website. Your user behavior on the website is analyzed in order to offer you personalized advertising on partner websites. Your user behavior is recorded in a pseudonymous manner. Most re-targeting technologies operate using cookies.

​

c) Google Ads Remarketing and/or DoubleClick by Google

​

This website uses Google Ads Remarketing and/or DoubleClick by Google, services provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") to display advertisements based on the use of previously visited websites. Google uses the so-called DoubleClick cookie, which enables your browser to be recognized when visiting other websites.

​

The information generated by the cookie about your visit to this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there (for more information on data transfers to the USA, see below).

​

Google will use this information to analyze your use of the website concerning the advertisements displayed, compile reports on website activities and advertisements for website operators, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. However, Google will not associate your IP address with other data stored by Google.

To manage services related to usage-based advertising, THRYVE Group AG may use Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager tool itself is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data. Instead, the tool triggers other tags that may collect data. If you have disabled cookies or tracking at the domain or cookie level, this will apply to all tracking tags implemented via Google Tag Manager.

​

You can disable re-targeting at any time by rejecting or deactivating the relevant cookies in your web browser’s menu. Additionally, you can opt out of the mentioned advertising and re-targeting tools via the Digital Advertising Alliance website at optout.aboutads.info.

​

d) Use of Google AdSense

​

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from Google Inc. ("Google"). Google AdSense uses "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer to analyze website usage. Google AdSense also uses "web beacons" (invisible graphics). These web beacons help evaluate visitor traffic on these pages.

​

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about your use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be shared by Google with Google’s contract partners. However, Google will not associate your IP address with other stored data about you.

​

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, THRYVE Group AG advises that you may not be able to fully use all features of this website in that case. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes described above.

​

5. Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

​

It is possible that content or services from third-party providers, such as city maps or fonts from other websites, are integrated into the online services of THRYVE Group AG. The integration of such third-party content always requires these providers to recognize the users' IP addresses. Without the IP address, the content cannot be transmitted to the respective browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content.

​

Additionally, third-party providers may set their own cookies and process users' data for their own purposes. They may create usage profiles based on the processed data. THRYVE Group AG integrates this content in a manner that is as data-efficient and privacy-conscious as possible, selecting reliable third-party providers in terms of data security.

​

The following overview provides information about third-party providers and their content, along with links to their privacy policies, which contain further details about their data processing practices:

​

• External fonts from Google, Inc. – Google Fonts. The fonts from Google Fonts are hosted on THRYVE Group AG’s own servers.

• Maps from the "Google Maps" service by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of the website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly linked to your account. If you do not wish this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out particularly (even for users who are not logged in) to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on the website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google to exercise this right. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, along with details about your rights and privacy settings, can be found at: Google Privacy Policy and opt-out options at Google Ads Settings.

​

This website also uses the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The purpose of this service is to distinguish whether the data entry is performed by a human or through automated, machine-based processing. The verification involves transmitting your IP address and potentially other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. Your input will be sent to Google and further used there. Google will process this information on behalf of THRYVE Group AG to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data from Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. Processing is carried out based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out based on your consent before its withdrawal. More information on Google reCAPTCHA and its privacy policy can be found at: Google Privacy Policy.

For information on the processing of personal data, please refer to the following details regarding Google services: Google Tag Manager Use Policy.
