Emmental Tourism places a high value on data protection. As a visitor to the website Emmental.ch you can decide which personal details you would like to make available to us. We would however, like to point out that through your visit to our website and your reading of our newsletter, we are then automatically in possession of data which makes it possible to elicit how our website and newsletters are used and which information and offers are of particular interest to you. Should you register your personal details with us or take advantage of our online registration service or request information or other services, we will require personal information such as your name and address. Should these services be carried out by a third party for us, then the details you have given to us will be passed on automatically to that service provider. By providing us with your details, you are authorising us automatically to forward your details to the corresponding service provider. Otherwise we can assure you that your details will be treated completely confidentially and anonymously by ourselves. All data processing carried out by us – with the exception of the provision of services required by you – are solely for the purpose of customer information and are used in the interests of our customers and their requirements as well as statistical and marketing purposes for ourselves. The processing of data in this form makes it possible for us to fulfil the needs of the user by improving the website as well as our own service. The data processing is carried out especially for market analysis and in the interests of ascertaining the large variety of tourist services to be provided by Bern, thus gaining a needs-oriented range of services to be made available.

As a registered customer you can be advised by us of the content of the data we hold about you.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics which is a web-analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Analyses of this sort use so-called “cookies”, which are text data stored on your computer and enables an analysis of your use of this website (including your IP address), which is then transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored on that server. Google then uses this information to evaluate your use of this website in order to summarise a report about website activity for the website operator and thus about use of this website and the Internet use of those services offered on the website. Google will also, if necessary, provide this information to a third party insofar as this meets the legal requirements or insofar as that a party processes data from Google contractually.

Cookies
Cookies are small data bundles which a website can send to your browser in order to support you better when using databank supported systems. You do have the possibility, however, to set your browser so that it informs you when you receive a cookie or that it automatically rejects it. In this way you decide for yourself whether you want to accept a cookie or not. Setting your browser to “reject” will have the consequence that you cannot set up a personal account with Emmental.ch and so online hotel reservations would not be possible.
