We do not control or receive detailed information about how those platforms use your data.
c) International data transfers
If we transfer personal data outside of Switzerland, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place – such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
If the recipient country does not offer an adequate level of protection, we assess the risks and apply additional technical or contractual measures if necessary.

4. Specific Data Processing Activities
4.1 Website Access and Server Log Files
What data is collected and why?
When you visit info@ultratec-gmbh.ch, data may be stored on our servers or those of our hosting providers for system administration, statistical analysis, or security purposes. This data includes:
- Your internet service provider
- Your (possibly anonymized) IP address
- Browser version and operating system
- Date and time of access
- Referring website (referrer URL)
- Search terms used to find the website
Legal basis
This data is not linked to any specific individual and is used to ensure the proper functioning and security of the website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in maintaining and securing our digital infrastructure.
How long is the data stored?
Log data is deleted after each session. It is necessary for the operation of the website and cannot be disabled.
4.2 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).
Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze your use of the website. The information generated by the cookies may be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.
However, we use IP anonymization: your IP address is shortened within the EU or EEA before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA.
Google uses this data to evaluate website usage, compile reports, and provide other services for us as the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other Google data.
How to opt out
You can prevent cookie storage by adjusting your browser settings. Alternatively, you can install the browser plugin available at:
4.3 Google My Business
We use Google My Business to manage and display our business information on Google Search and Google Maps.
If you interact with our Google profile (e.g., leave a review or ask a question), your data (e.g., IP address, message content) may be processed by Google and stored on servers in the USA or other locations.
This helps us monitor and improve how our business appears in search results and Maps listings.
4.4 Google Fonts API
Our website uses Google Fonts, a service of Google LLC, to provide consistent and optimized typography.
When you load a page, your browser connects to Google’s servers (usually in the USA) to download the required fonts. Your IP address and browser details may be transmitted to Google during this process.
If you prefer to block this connection, you can configure your browser to prevent access to fonts.googleapis.com. However, this may affect the website’s visual appearance.
4.5 Google Maps
We embed Google Maps on our website to help visitors locate our physical address.
When you access a page with an embedded map, your browser may send information to Google (e.g., IP address, referring site). Google may store this data and associate it with your Google account if you are logged in.
Google may use this data for profiling and targeted advertising.
To exercise your rights, please contact Google directly.
4.6 WordPress
This website is built with WordPress, an open-source content management system developed by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA.
Basic usage of WordPress involves storing metadata (e.g., IP address, timestamps, browser info) for maintenance and security purposes.
Additional personal data may be collected if you use features like comments or contact forms, depending on the configuration.
