These cookies are used for the statistics functions of Google Analytics.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., based in the USA (“Google”).

The cookies are used to analyse how visitors use the website, which pages they visit, how long they remain on the pages, etc.

The information generated by the Google Analytics cookies about your use of the website, including your IP address, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operators and to provide other services related to website use and internet use.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process these data on behalf of Google.

Data Security

To increase data security, RAFAEL SERRANO YOGA takes appropriate security measures.

These include, for example, protecting certain areas of the website through SSL encryption or passwords, as well as restricting access to personal data to employees and contractors of RAFAEL SERRANO YOGA who need to know the data in order to process them in accordance with their purpose.

However, you should bear in mind that no internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. Emails in particular may be insecure.

Unauthorised third parties may potentially gain access to data that you transmit via the internet. This may result in these data being made accessible to third parties, disclosed, altered in content, lost or otherwise affected.

Even if the sender and recipient are located in the same country, data sent via the internet may leave the respective country and be forwarded to a country in which less stringent data protection requirements apply than in the country in which you reside.

RAFAEL SERRANO YOGA expressly points out that data transmission on the internet may have security gaps and that protection against access by third parties cannot always be guaranteed.

RAFAEL SERRANO YOGA is not responsible or liable for the security of your data while they are being transmitted to RAFAEL SERRANO YOGA via the internet.

Data Transfer / Disclosure to Third Parties

RAFAEL SERRANO YOGA is entitled to transfer your data, within the scope of the purpose for which they were collected, to affiliated companies as well as to their and its own agents and third-party service providers within or outside the country in which you reside or from which the data were transmitted, so that these third-party service providers may use your data in the same way as RAFAEL SERRANO YOGA would be permitted to do.

They are also obliged to comply with data protection requirements.

Your data will only otherwise be disclosed if this is legally permissible, if you have given us your consent to do so, or if RAFAEL SERRANO YOGA is obliged to do so under applicable laws, governmental orders or a decision by an authority or court.

Applicable Law and Further Provisions

Certain areas of this website may contain additional provisions or terms.

Should these conflict with the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, the additional provisions shall prevail.

Should individual provisions of this Privacy Policy and Terms of Use be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected.

The invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision that comes as close as possible to the meaning of the invalid clause.

The use of this website and these Terms of Use are governed exclusively by substantive Swiss law, excluding treaty-based provisions.

The courts of Basel shall have exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes arising in connection with this website.
