Type of collected Personal Data
SIX processes Personal Data about the User if the latter

In selected cases, Personal Data is processed if SIX records telephone calls with Users, whether this be to meet its own legal obligations or for training or quality assurance purposes.
SIX processes the personal data (such as name, gender, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax number) that the user expressly and actively makes available to SIX. This also applies if the user takes part in events of SIX (online or in person). The web server of SIX – and in the case of www.six-structured-products.com the web server of Ariva.de AG – automatically records details of the user's visit (such as IP address, browser type and version, operating system used, originating website, pages accessed, date, length of visit).

Web analysis
SIX analyses how its websites are used with the help of third-party analysis tools, such as Google Analytics or etracker (hereinafter «Analysis Service Providers»). SIX assumes no responsibility or liability for any data processed by Analysis Service Providers.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics, a web-based analysis service by Google Inc. (hereinafter “Google”), uses cookies, which are saved on the User's computer. The information generated by the cookie concerning their visit is usually sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If SIX activates IP anonymization for this website, Google shortens the User's IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other partner states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and anonymized there. Google evaluates the information that has been saved on behalf of Google for the purpose of compiling reports on the website's usage and in order to provide other associated services for SIX. Google may combine the IP address transmitted from the User's browser by Google Analytics with other data that has been collected.
etracker (only for SIX Structured Products)
The www.six-structured-products.com website uses technologies of etracker GmbH (www.etracker.com) to collect and store data for marketing and optimization purposes. User profiles may be created from this data under a pseudonym. The data collected with etracker technologies is not used without the data subject's specific consent to identify the visitor of this website personally and is not combined with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.
Detailed information on this can be found at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en and https://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html (general information on Google Analytics and data protection) and at https://www.etracker.com/en/data-privacy/ (general information on data protection of etracker).
HubSpot (only for business unit Financial Information)

HubSpot analyzes the information that has been stored and anonymized (e.g. click behavior, IP address, geographical location, browser type, time spent, pages viewed) on behalf of SIX for the purpose of compiling reports on the website's usage. SIX may use this to conduct targeted marketing activities.
