Privacy Policy

General notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy as well as protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators dn webservices GmbH, based in Bonstetten (hereinafter referred to as dn) of the websites cardano-staking.ch, cardano-staking.com, cardanoworld.io and the subdomains (hereinafter referred to as website or websites) as well as the stake pool CASCH take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. We point out that data transmission on the Internet (for example, when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the following description. In principle, the web pages can be visited without registration. Basically, there are two categories of data that are processed when you contact us: On the one hand, this is personal data (for example, name, address or e-mail address) and on the other hand, it is non-personal data (for example, web pages accessed, name of the file accessed, date and time).

Personal data and its processing

Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. This includes, for example, their name, e-mail address, address, telephone number or similar information. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data. Information that cannot be directly linked to your person, i.e. not to your identity, is not personal data. When registering on our site, but also when creating advertisements and search orders, personal data such as name and e-mail and possibly address, telephone number and other data are collected and stored. Furthermore, personal data is collected and stored where required by the use of services.

We comply with the provisions imposed on us by the data protection laws of Switzerland and - where applicable - the European Union. This means that we are transparent with you about what personal data we process. We only process personal data that we have lawfully received, whether because you have entered into a contract with us, because you have given us your consent to do so, or because we or third parties have a legitimate interest in doing so. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law. If we no longer process your personal data and are also no longer legally obliged to retain it, or you no longer want us to have and process this data, we will no longer do so. You have the possibility at any time to obtain information about the processing of your personal data or not to allow it. You can find out how to do this in the section "Information, amendment, deletion".

Non-personal data and their processing

When you contact us, non-personal data is collected by us and third parties on our websites and in our applications through various technologies. Visitor behavior data is collected to find out any problems such as pages not found, search engine problems or unpopular pages. Once the data is processed (number of visitors who see error pages or only one page, etc.), for example, Google Analytics generates reports for the website operators so that they can react to them (layout changes, new content, etc.).

When you access our websites, the following data is stored:

  • URL of the page accessed
  • URL of the previous page (if allowed)
  • Date and time of the call
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • IP address

This usage data forms the basis for statistical, anonymous evaluations so that trends can be identified, which we can use to improve our offerings accordingly.

This data processing is based on the principle of legitimate interest.

Processing the data helps us to find out what works on our site and what does not. For example, it helps us find out if the content is well received or how we can improve the structure of the website. Our team benefits from this and can react to it. Due to the data processing, you thus benefit from a website that is constantly improving.

Without the data we could not provide the service.

  • for the fulfillment and processing of contractual or legal obligations

  • to evaluate user behavior
