Contact Addresses Responsible for the processing of personal data within the meaning of data protection law is: Museum Aargau Effingerweg 6 CH-5103 Wildegg museumaargau@ag.ch In individual cases, third parties may be responsible for the processing of personal data, or there may be joint responsibility with third parties. We are happy to inform data subjects upon request about the respective responsibility. 2. Terms and Legal Basis 2.1 Terms Data subject: A natural person about whom we process personal data. Personal data: All information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Sensitive personal data: Data on trade union, political, religious or philosophical views and activities, data on health, the intimate sphere or affiliation with an ethnicity or race, genetic data, biometric data that uniquely identifies a natural person, data on criminal and administrative sanctions or proceedings, and data on social assistance measures. Processing: Any handling of personal data, irrespective of the means and procedures used, for example querying, comparing, adapting, archiving, retaining, reading, disclosing, obtaining, recording, collecting, deleting, revealing, sorting, organising, storing, altering, distributing, linking, destroying and using personal data. 2.2 Legal Basis We process personal data in accordance with Swiss law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, FADP) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DPO). 3. Nature, Scope and Purpose of the Processing of Personal Data We process those personal data that are necessary to carry out our activities and operations in a sustainable, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. The personal data processed may in particular fall into the categories of browser and device data, content data, communication data, metadata, usage data, master data including inventory and contact data, location data, transaction data, contract data and payment data. The personal data may also constitute sensitive personal data. We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect in the course of our activities and operations, insofar as such processing is permitted. We process personal data, where necessary, with the consent of the data subjects. In many cases we may process personal data without consent, for example in order to fulfil legal obligations or to protect overriding interests. We may also ask data subjects for their consent even where their consent is not required. We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose. We anonymise or delete personal data in particular depending on statutory retention periods and limitation periods. 4. Disclosure of Personal Data We may disclose personal data to third parties , have them processed by third parties or process them jointly with third parties. Such third parties may be, for example, specialised providers whose services we use. Such third parties may in turn disclose personal data to third parties. In the course of our activities and operations, we may in particular disclose personal data to banks and other financial service providers, authorities, educational and research institutions, consultants and lawyers, accounting and fiduciary service providers, debt collection agencies, interest groups, IT service providers, cooperation partners, credit and business information agencies, logistics and shipping companies, marketing and advertising agencies, media, parent, sister and subsidiary companies, organisations and associations, social institutions, telecommunications companies, insurance companies and payment service providers. 5. Communication We process personal data in order to be able to communicate with individuals as well as with authorities, organisations and companies. In particular, we process data that a data subject transmits to us when contacting us, for example by post or e-mail. We may store such data in an address book or with comparable tools. Third parties who transmit data about other persons to us are legally obliged to ensure the data protection of these data subjects independently. In particular, they must ensure that they are permitted to transmit such data, but also guarantee the accuracy of the data transmitted. We use selected services from suitable providers to enable and improve communication with individuals and other communication partners. With such services, we may also manage and otherwise process the data of the data subjects beyond direct communication, for example in connection with orders, services, projects and resource planning. 6. Data Security We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. With our measures we ensure in particular the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the personal data processed, without, however, being able to guarantee absolute data security. Access to our website and our other digital presence takes place via transport encryption ( SSL / TLS , in particular using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS ). Most browsers warn before visiting a website without transport encryption. Our digital communication is subject – as is in principle all digital communication – to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by intelligence services, police authorities and other security authorities. Nor can we rule out that a data subject is being specifically monitored. 7. Personal Data Abroad We process personal data in principle in Switzerland. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process them there or have them processed there. We may disclose personal data to all countries on Earth and elsewhere in the universe , provided that the law there guarantees adequate data protection in accordance with a decision of the Swiss Federal Council . We may disclose personal data to countries whose law does not guarantee adequate data protection, provided that appropriate data protection is ensured for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or other suitable safeguards. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the special data protection requirements for doing so are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract. We are happy to inform data subjects upon request about any safeguards or to provide a copy of safeguards. 8. Rights of Data Subjects 8.1 Data Protection Claims We grant data subjects all claims under applicable law. In particular, data subjects have the following rights: Access: Data subjects may request information as to whether we process personal data about them and, if so, which personal data. Data subjects also receive the information necessary to assert their data protection claims and to ensure transparency. This includes the personal data processed as such, but also, among other things, information on the purpose of processing, the duration of retention, any disclosure or export of data to other countries and the origin of the personal data. Rectification and restriction: Data subjects may have inaccurate personal data corrected, incomplete data completed and the processing of their data restricted. Opportunity to state their own position and human review: In the case of decisions based solely on automated processing of personal data that have legal consequences for them or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions), data subjects may state their own position and request review by a human being. Erasure and objection: Data subjects may have personal data erased («right to be forgotten») and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future. Data disclosure and data portability: Data subjects may request the release of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller. We may defer, restrict or refuse the exercise of the rights of data subjects within the legally permissible framework. We may point out to data subjects any conditions that must be met in order to exercise their data protection claims. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part with reference to confidentiality obligations, overriding interests or the protection of other persons. We may also, for example, refuse to erase personal data in whole or in part, in particular with reference to statutory retention obligations. We may exceptionally charge fees for the exercise of these rights. We inform data subjects in advance of any fees. We are obliged to identify data subjects who request access or assert other rights by means of appropriate measures. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate. 8.2 Legal Remedies Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims through legal proceedings or to file a report or complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The data protection supervisory authority for private controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) . 9. Use of the Website 9.1 Cookies We may use cookies. Cookies – both our own cookies (first-party cookies) and cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) – are data stored in the browser. Such stored data need not be limited to traditional cookies in text form. Cookies may be stored in the browser temporarily as «session cookies» or for a certain period as so-called permanent cookies. «Session cookies» are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. Cookies make it possible in particular to recognise a browser on the next visit to our website and thereby, for example, to measure the reach of our website. However, permanent cookies may also be used, for example, for online marketing. Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated, restricted or deleted at any time in the browser settings. The browser settings often also enable automated deletion and other management of cookies. Without cookies, our website may no longer be available in full. We actively request – at least insofar as and to the extent required by applicable law – express consent to the use of cookies. For cookies used for performance and reach measurement or for advertising, a general objection («opt-out») is possible for numerous services via AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada) , the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) , YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA) . 9.2 Logging For each access to our website and our other digital presence, we may log at least the following information, provided that it is determined or transmitted to our digital infrastructure by default during such access: date and time including time zone, IP address , access status (HTTP status code) , operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, the individual sub-page of our website accessed including the amount of data transferred, the web page last accessed in the same browser window (referer or referrer) . We log such information, which may also constitute personal data, in log files. The information is necessary in order to provide our digital presence in a sustainable, user-friendly and reliable manner. The information is also necessary to ensure data security – including by third parties or with the help of third parties. 9.3 Tracking Pixels We may embed tracking pixels in our digital presence. Tracking pixels are also referred to as web beacons. Tracking pixels – including those of third parties whose services we use – are usually small, invisible images or scripts written in JavaScript that are automatically retrieved when our digital presence is accessed. Tracking pixels can capture at least the same information as logging in log files. 9.4 Comments We enable you to publish comments on our website. In this context, we process in particular the information that a commenting person transmits to us, but also the IP address used as well as the date and time. This information is required in order to enable the publication of comments and to ensure protection against misuse, which is in our overriding legitimate interest. 10. Notifications and Communications 10.1 Performance and Reach Measurement Notifications and communications may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual communication has been opened and which web links were clicked. Such web links and tracking pixels may also record the use of notifications and communications on a personal basis. We need this statistical recording of usage for performance and reach measurement, in order to send notifications and communications effectively and in a user-friendly manner as well as sustainably, securely and reliably, based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients. 10.2 Consent and Objection You must in principle consent to the use of your e-mail address and your other contact addresses, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. For obtaining a doubly confirmed consent, we may use the «double opt-in» procedure. In this case you will receive a message with instructions for the double confirmation. We may log consents obtained, including IP address and timestamp , for evidentiary and security reasons. You may in principle object to receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection you may at the same time object to the statistical recording of usage for performance and reach measurement. Necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and operations remain reserved. 10.3 Service Providers for Notifications and Communications We send notifications and communications with the help of specialised service providers.

The general terms and conditions (GTC) and terms of use as well as the privacy policies and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms also apply in each case. These provisions provide information in particular about the rights of data subjects directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, which include, for example, the right of access. 12. Third-Party Services We use services from specialised third parties in order to carry out our activities and operations in a sustainable, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. With such services we can, among other things, embed features and content in our website. In the case of such embedding, the services used record, for technically compelling reasons, at least temporarily the IP addresses of users. For necessary security-related, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data in connection with our activities and operations in aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised form.
