General Information

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Act (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection from misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security vulnerabilities. A 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. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or the names of the retrieved files, the date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes without these data being directly related to your person. Personal data, such as name, address, or email address, is collected as far as possible on a voluntary basis. Without your consent, no data will be passed on to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, including storage, disclosure, collection, deletion, retention, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, where applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal grounds under Article 6 (1) of the GDPR:

  • a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

  • b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject or for the execution of pre-contractual measures.

  • c) Processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.

  • d) Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

  • f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms, rights, and interests of the data subject do not outweigh these interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our economic interest in being able to provide our website, ensuring information security, enforcing our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer retention obligations due to legal or other obligations to which we are subject, we limit the processing accordingly.

Cookie Privacy Policy

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific, user-related information to be stored on the user’s device while they are using the website. Cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and the number of users, analyze behavior on the site, and also make our offer more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored after the browser session has ended and can be accessed again upon a subsequent visit. If you do not wish to use cookies, you should set your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

SSL Encryption Privacy Policy

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, data about the use of the map functions by visitors is collected, processed, and used by Google. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy. There, you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Google Privacy Center.

Detailed instructions for managing your data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Google AdWords

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking.
If you have arrived at our website through an advertisement displayed by Google, a cookie will be set on your computer by Google AdWords. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google advertisement. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, both we and Google can detect that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers will learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page containing a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can decline the required setting of a cookie – for example, by adjusting your browser settings to disable cookies automatically or configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com.”

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish to record measurement data. If you delete all your cookies in your browser, you will need to set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The query is intended to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or through automated, machine processing. The query involves sending the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and further processed there. However, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data from Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the “Privacy Shield.” Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has committed to its principles. By using the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent before the withdrawal.

Privacy Policy for Order Processing in the Online Shop with Customer Account

We process our customers’ data in accordance with the data protection regulations of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the context of order transactions in our online shop. The processing is carried out to enable customers to select and order the desired products and services, as well as their payment and delivery or execution.

The data processed includes master data (inventory data), communication data, contract data, payment data, and the affected individuals include our customers, prospects, and other business partners. The processing takes place for the purpose of providing contract services within the operation of an online shop, billing, delivery, and customer service. We use session cookies, for example, to store the contents of the shopping cart, and persistent cookies to store the login status.

The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) (performance of order transactions) and (c) (legally required archiving) of the GDPR. The required data are necessary for the establishment and performance of the contract. We disclose the data to third parties only within the scope of delivery, payment, or legal permissions and obligations. Data will only be processed in third countries if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (e.g., at the customer’s request during delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account, where they can view their orders. During registration, the required mandatory fields are communicated to users. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines, such as Google. If users delete their user account, their data will be deleted concerning the user account, unless their retention is necessary for commercial or tax reasons in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Information in the customer account remains until deletion, followed by archiving in the event of a legal obligation. It is the responsibility of users to back up their data before the contract ends if they delete their account.

During registration, re-registration, and use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of each user action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the users’ interests in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data will not be disclosed to third parties unless it is required for the enforcement of our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so under Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

The deletion of data occurs after the expiration of statutory warranty and similar obligations. The necessity of data retention is checked at irregular intervals. In the case of legal archiving obligations, deletion will occur after the expiration of these obligations.

Privacy Policy for Contractual Services

We process the data of our contractual partners, prospects, and other clients, customers, or business partners (collectively referred to as “contractual partners”) in accordance with the data protection regulations of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), specifically under Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, in order to provide our contractual or pre-contractual services. The processed data, including the type, scope, purpose, and necessity of the processing, are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.

The processed data includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g., names and addresses), contact details (e.g., email addresses and phone numbers), contract data (e.g., services used, contract contents, contractual communications, names of contact persons), and payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history).

We generally do not process special categories of personal data, except when these form part of a commissioned or contractually agreed processing.

We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of contractual services and emphasize the necessity of providing such data if it is not evident to the contractual partners. Disclosure to external persons or companies occurs only if required within the scope of the contract. When processing the data entrusted to us within the framework of an order, we act according to the instructions of the clients and in compliance with legal requirements.

In the context of using our online services, we may store the IP address and the time of each user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as the interests of the users in protecting against misuse and unauthorized use. This data will not be disclosed to third parties unless it is necessary for the enforcement of our claims under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR or there is a legal obligation to do so under Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

The data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary to fulfill contractual or legal obligations, including handling any warranty and similar obligations. The necessity of retaining data is reviewed at irregular intervals. Otherwise, the legal retention obligations apply.

Notice on Data Transfers to the USA (United States of America)

For the sake of completeness, we would like to inform you that for users based in Switzerland, there are surveillance measures by U.S. authorities that generally allow the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that has been transferred to the U.S.

This occurs without differentiation, limitation, or exception regarding the purposes pursued, and without an objective criterion that would allow the access of U.S. authorities to the data or its later use to be restricted to specific, strictly limited purposes. Additionally, we would like to inform you that, in the U.S., there are no effective legal remedies available to individuals from Switzerland, allowing them to access their data or request its correction or deletion. There is also no effective judicial protection against the general access rights of U.S. authorities to personal data. We would also like to inform users residing in an EU member state that, from the perspective of the European Union, the U.S. does not provide an adequate level of data protection. We are providing this notice so that you can make an informed decision regarding your consent to the use of your data. If you are not in agreement with the transfer of your data to the U.S., we kindly ask that you refrain from using our services.

This section provides users with a clear understanding of the potential risks related to the transfer of personal data to the USA, specifically in relation to data protection and legal safeguards. It highlights that U.S. authorities may access the data, and emphasizes the lack of effective legal recourse for individuals affected by such data transfers.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website is the applicable version. If the Privacy Policy is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you about any updates or changes via email or by other appropriate means.

Questions for the Data Protection Officer

If you have any questions regarding data protection, please send us an email or contact the person responsible for data protection listed at the beginning of this Privacy Policy in our organization.
