Thank you for visiting our online booking website. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our online data protection principles.
Personal data enjoys special protection. Interregional Blood Transfusion SRC would like to take this opportunity to tell you whether and how your data is collected or used when you visit our website.
Interregional Blood Transfusion SRC is committed to safeguarding the privacy of users and handling the personal data of visitors to its website in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection.
If you do not actively enter any data on our website, we will only collect the data that is transmitted automatically by your Web browser. This includes: the date and time at which one of our Web pages is accessed, your browser type, the browser settings, the operating system used, the last page visited, the amount of data transferred, the access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.) and your IP address. The website cannot be displayed unless your IP address is stored temporarily. We only use this data for the purpose of enabling you to use the Web pages accessed, for statistical purposes and to improve our website. We do not use this data to identify individual persons. This data is not stored together with any other personal data relating to the user.
You have the option of signing in to the online booking system with your donor number and surname in order to book an appointment. This data was originally collected from you directly when you gave blood.
Your personal data (e.g. name, date of birth, address, blood group) and data that is important for determining your next blood donation appointment (e.g. date of most recent donation, type of donations made, preferred donation type) will be transferred to a secure server in Switzerland for the purpose of booking an appointment (there is a data protection agreement with the service provider in place). Your data will only be used for the purpose of booking an appointment.
If you do not wish for your data to be stored in the system for the purpose of booking appointments, simply send us a confidential email to info@ichspendeblut.ch or call 0800 148 148 (free of charge within Switzerland).
Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or email addresses) is collected on our websites, this is done on a voluntary basis wherever possible.
We will correct and complete any saved data as soon as we become aware of any changes. If necessary, we will also inform the data recipient. Stored data is deleted via an automatic process once the legal or contractual retention period has expired, or if the data is no longer needed.
If, when requesting pages and files within this website, you are asked to enter personal data, we wish to point out that this transmission via the Internet is secure as it is sent via SSL. This data privacy statement does not apply to any websites accessed via links. We accept no responsibility for such sites.
