Privacy policy
On our websites www.hybridership.com as well as www.peakly.com you will find consulting, coaching and training offers, courses and training and further education of Peakly GmbH (hereinafter Peakly).
The reason for this is that Peakly not only receives and processes requests from Switzerland, but also from Germany and Austria. Another reason is that although the GDPR is a regulation of the European Union, it exerts a great influence on the Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA) and will probably do so increasingly in the foreseeable future.
For these reasons, Peakly has decided to strive for the high level of data protection specified in the DSGVO and to ensure the associated lawful processing of personal data and the protection of privacy for all customers.
With this privacy policy, we make transparent what data we collect from you and process, what we use it for and how you can object to the data collection in each case.
Accordingly, data is only stored and processed if it is necessary for the execution of contracts, the target-oriented design of customer relationships, for invoicing, accounting and collection and for the discussion and answering of questions and concerns in connection with the offer and provision of our services.
We collect this non-personal information for statistical purposes, to improve our services, and to analyze the interests of our customers and visitors in order to provide you with information and services that we believe will meet your interests. Our goal is to better tailor our services to your needs.
In addition to the aforementioned data, Peakly may also collect anonymous information (i.e., non-personal) and aggregate data. This collection allows us to better understand how our services are used and improved, to develop new service offerings, and to understand the interests and behaviors of our users and customers in order to provide you with relevant and interesting offers, information and services.
When you contact us, you share various information about yourself, such as when you talk to us on the phone, send us an email, fill out a form on our website, or otherwise contact us. This includes, for example, information you enter when you register on our website, or when you register for training or education offered by us or order services offered by us, sign up for social media discussion and information forums through our website, or even when you report a problem to us through our website.
In doing so, you share information with us that could include, for example, your name, email address, phone number, address and, if applicable, a photo or personal profile.
We use this information:
We use cookies on our website. These are small text files that your browser (e.g. Safari or Internet Explorer) automatically creates and that are stored on your terminal device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). The cookies allow us, on the one hand, to uniquely identify your browser, to improve our performance quality and, for example, to make the use of our offer more efficient and pleasant for you.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a notice always appears before a new cookie is created. However, the complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website and that parts of our services do not work or do not work correctly.
Cookie settings
As a matter of principle, Peakly does not disclose any personal data to companies or persons outside of Peakly, except in the cases listed below:
We are at all times making every effort to protect our offers and your personal data from unauthorized access or misuse, disclosure or destruction and use only current SSL secured communication for data transmission via our systems. We restrict access to personal data to those employees and contractors who have a real need to know the data in order to process it for us and who are all subject to strict confidentiality obligations if they fail to comply with those obligations.
We cannot guarantee that all data transmitted over the Internet will be completely secure and error-free, or that the data will be absolutely safe from intrusion by third parties during transmission or while it is being stored, given the nature of communications and information processing technology.
However, we can assure you that we will at all times take all possible and commercially reasonable precautions to implement the technical security of all data transmissions in the best possible manner.
Personal data is transmitted over the Internet in encrypted form on the website as well as for the services offered. Peakly secures all services offered by technical and organizational measures in accordance with recognized market standards against loss, access, destruction, manipulation, disclosure and dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons.
On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.
a) Google Analytics
For the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter "Google").
In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used.
The information generated by cookies about your use of this website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, previously visited page (referrer URL), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of server request, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to internet and website use for the purposes of market research and efficient design of these internet pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking). You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

b) Google Ads Conversion Tracking
In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Ads Conversion Tracking. Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after a maximum of 14 months and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Adwords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Ads clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this ? for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies.
You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain ?www.googleadservices.com? Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
