You can find out about numscout and our range of services on the website without telling us who you are. As with any connection to a web server, the server on which we make the Website and the Online Platform available automatically logs and stores certain technical data for a short period of time. This includes the IP address and operating system of your device, the date and time of use and the type of browser you use to access the website or online platform.

We operate an online platform ("Online Platform") for our subscribers. When you register as a user on the Online Platform, we collect the information you provide to us. This includes general personal data such as name and contact details as well as personal information that you or other users enter, upload, generate, store and process when using the Online Platform.

We use web analysis services (currently Google Analytics) to evaluate the use of the website and to obtain information for its optimization. The web analysis services we use collect and store usage data using cookies. Before being transmitted to a server outside Switzerland/EU/EEA, the requesting IP addresses are truncated. We therefore do not transmit any personal data to the provider of the web analysis services abroad.

We use Google Ads advertising technologies on the website. This allows us to target people who visit our website with advertising that is relevant to them when they visit other websites. The advertising material is displayed on the websites you visit based on an analysis of your previous use of our website. For this purpose, the providers of the advertising technologies set cookies when you visit our website.

The social plugins used on the website allow you to recommend and share our content on social networks. You can recognize the social plugins on the website by the logos of the respective social network. When you interact with the social plugin, data is sent to the respective provider of the social network.

We integrate resources from external servers on our website. These contain visible content (Google Maps, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook feeds).

When accessing these resources, the operator of the external server learns your IP address and/or certain marginal data that is necessary for the use of the external operator's server.

We use cookies, tags and similar technologies on the website to provide you with the best possible user experience and to help us improve the website. Cookies are text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use an app.

Some of the cookies we use are necessary to provide certain functions of the website. In addition, we use cookies to analyze the use of the website and to obtain information to optimize the website.

You can instruct your browser not to accept cookies or to ask you each time before a cookie is set. You can also delete cookies on your device by using the corresponding function of your browser.
