Scope of Application
The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform users about the type and volume of personal information that the provider collects and uses and why this information is collected and used.
Data Protection
The legal basis for collecting and processing personal data and this privacy policy is the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which applies to the Principality of Liechtenstein and which came into effect on the 25th of May 2018.
Acting on the basis of article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the Federal Act concerning the Protection of Personal Data (DSG), every person has the right to have his privacy protected and to have his personal data protected from misuse.
THE STONE COIN AG complies with the aforementioned regulations. Personal data is handled in the strictest confidence and is neither sold nor disclosed to third parties.
We work in close partnership with our hosting providers and make every effort to ensure that databases are protected as effectively as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse and fraud.
Recording of General Information
We and our webspace provider automatically collect information in log files each time a user accesses our website. This information, which is also referred to as server log files, is general in nature and cannot be traced back to you personally.
Various types of information are collected including: name of the website, data file, date, volume of data, web browser and version of web browser, operating system, the domain name of your internet service provider, the referrer URL (the site from which you have accessed our website) and the IP address.
From a technical perspective, it would not be possible in some instances to deliver and display the content of the website without this data. In this respect, it is absolutely essential that data is collected. We also use anonymous information for statistical purposes. This helps us to optimise our online offering and various technical aspects. We also reserve the right to subsequently monitor log files if we suspect that our website is being used unlawfully.
This user data is used to analyse statistical data in an anonymous form so that trends can be identified which we can use to improve our services.
Handling Personal Data
Definition: The term personal data encompasses all information that uniquely identifies a person. This refers to data that can be traced back to an individual person and includes information such as first name, surname, telephone number and email address.
This data is only collected, used and, if appropriate, passed on by the provider if this is explicitly permitted by law or if the user has consented to his data being collected, processed, used and disclosed.
Contact Form
When you contact us via the contact form or by email, we store the information you have provided in order to answer your query and to enable us to answer any potential follow-up questions.
Application as an Acceptance Point on Our Website
Company and personal information are collected when you use the application form as an acceptance point on our website. This includes contact and communication information relating to the company (specifically company name, address, country where the company has its headquarters, URL) and the contact’s personal data (specifically surname, first name, gender, telephone number and email address).
Providing this data enables the user to receive a personalised quotation. If required, there is an option on the enquiry form which enables you to request to have the information you have provided on the form amended or deleted. We will of course on request specify which of your personal data we have collected and stored. We will also correct or delete any of your data on request, provided that the request does not contravene any legally required retention period. Please get in touch with the contact specified in this privacy policy if you have any questions or if you would like us to correct or delete any of your data.
Data Encryption
Data which you provide to us on the STONE COIN enquiry form and the contact form is transmitted in an encrypted form. We establish a SSL connection each time either of these forms are used. SSL (secure socket layer) is a process which encrypts your data in such a way that it cannot be read by unauthorised parties when it is transmitted on the internet.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on your computer by the server. They include information relating to the browser, the IP address, the operating system and the internet connection. We never disclose this data to third parties and it is never linked to personal data without your consent.
Cookies primarily perform two tasks. They help us to make navigating our website easier for you and they ensure that the website is displayed correctly. They are not used to infect your system with viruses or to start programmes.
Users can also access our website without cookies. You must firstly change the settings in your browser. Please refer to your browser’s help function to find out how to disable cookies.

Google AdWords
This website uses the online advertising service Google AdWords and the conversion tracking tool which is part of this service. This means that Google Adwords places a cookie on your computer when you have reached our website via a Google advertisement. These cookies cease to be valid after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. Should the user visit certain pages of our website and should the cookie not yet have expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the advert and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This means therefore that cookies cannot be traced via the websites of AdWords customers.
The information which is obtained with the assistance of the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have selected conversion tracking. The customers are informed of the total number of users who have clicked on their advert and who were redirected to a page which has a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information which can identify users personally.
If you do not wish to take part in this tracking process, it is very easy to disable the Google conversion tracking cookie in the user settings in your internet browser. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. For further information on Google’s data protection policies, please visit http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
