The use of certain features of our website zampierilab.org, in particular completing the contact form, may require the collection, processing and long-term storage of personal data, such as your name, address, telephone number or email address.

Use of cookies
Cookies are small text files that are transmitted from our server or a third-party server to the user’s browser and stored on your end device. With cookies, we automatically collect certain data, such as your IP address, the browser you use, your operating system and your internet connection. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of the website. You can check your browser settings to see which cookies the unibas.ch website stores and, if necessary, delete them.
Processing of access data when you visit the website zampierilab.org
For security reasons, e.g. to investigate cases of misuse and to secure our network infrastructure, certain access data is automatically collected when the zampierilab.org website is accessed and stored in a web server log file temporarily. In the event of an attack on our network infrastructure, it may be necessary to store these files longer as evidence and for any civil or criminal proceedings against the attacker. The following access data is collected: website visited, date and time accessed, browser used, operating system used and anonymized IP address.
Use of web analysis tools
The web analysis tool “Matomo Analytics” is integrated in the zampierilab.org website. Web analysis (tracking) is the collection and assessment of data based on the behaviour of the website’s users. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data about the website from which the individual visits the website (the “referrer”), the pages on the website that are accessed and how often and for how long a page is viewed. Website analysis is used to optimize the website. If you wish to deactivate tracking, you will need to activate the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser settings.
Use of third-party services
We use the Google Maps API to display an interactive map and to create route maps. As a result of the use of Google Maps, information about your use of the zampierilab.org website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. Google may send the information obtained through Maps to third parties if doing so is legally required or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. You can deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent your data from being transmitted to Google by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, if you do so, you will not be able to use the map display on our website. The Google privacy policy and additional user terms and conditions for Google Maps can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=ch. Google also processes your personal data in the US and has submitted to the Swiss-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Use of social media plugins
The zampierilab.org website uses the social media mastodon plugin on the “News” page. Under some circumstances, information, which may include personal data, is sent via these plugins to the relevant social media provider, who may use this data. Direct contact between social media providers and the user of the zampierilab.org website is only created when the user clicks on the relevant social media button.

The Zampieri Lab uses technical and organizational security measures to ensure that the data it collects and processes via the zampierilab.org website remains confidential and is protected against accidental or unlawful access, amendment or disclosure as well as loss or destruction; and is accessible solely on a need-to-know basis by those persons who must access the personal data because of their function and duties. The relevant measures are based on the type of information, the type and purpose of utilization and the state-of-the-art at the time.
