General / Introduction
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website 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 privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or names of files accessed, as well as the date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to you personally. If personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis, wherever possible. This data will not be shared with third parties without your express consent.

Processing of personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. 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, erasure, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject and to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms, rights, and interests of the data subject override these interests. These 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.

We process personal data for the period necessary for the respective purpose(s). Where longer retention periods are required due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we limit processing accordingly.

Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific, user-related information to be stored on the user's device while the user is using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency and number of users of the pages, to analyze behavioral patterns of site usage, and also to make our offering more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when the site is visited again. If you do not wish this to happen, you should set your Internet browser to refuse cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be made for a variety of services, especially tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU side http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ be explained. Furthermore, you can prevent cookies from being stored by deactivating them in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this website will be available.

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

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Without SSL/TLS encryption
Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the Internet or an email service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that "http://" appears in the browser's address bar and there is no lock symbol in your browser bar. Information transmitted over the Internet and content received online may be transmitted over third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or materials transmitted over such open networks or third-party networks. If you disclose personal information over an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or potentially viewed by third parties, and that the data may, as a result, be collected and used without your consent. Although in many cases individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient are located in the same country, data transfer over such networks is often uncontrolled, even via third countries, i.e., countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of residence. We assume no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the Internet and disclaim any liability for direct or indirect damages. We ask you to use other communication channels if you consider this necessary or appropriate for security reasons.

Despite extensive technical and organizational security precautions, it is possible that data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorized persons. Where possible, we take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent this within our system. However, your computer is located outside the security area we control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and take appropriate measures. As the operator of the website, we are not liable in any way for any damage you may suffer due to data loss or manipulation.

Data that you enter in online forms may be passed on to authorized third parties for the purpose of order processing and may be viewed and processed by them.

You can also receive our free newsletter via the instant messaging service WhatsApp. WhatsApp is a service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of WhatsApp Inc., located at 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, both hereinafter referred to as "WhatsApp." Some user data is processed on WhatsApp servers in the USA.

However, through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield, WhatsApp guarantees that EU data protection requirements are also met when processing data in the USA. WhatsApp also offers further information on data protection.

To receive our newsletter via WhatsApp, you need a WhatsApp user account. You can find out what data WhatsApp collects when you register in the aforementioned WhatsApp privacy policy.

If you then sign up to receive our newsletter via WhatsApp, the mobile phone number you provided during registration will be processed by WhatsApp. In addition, your IP address and the date and time of your registration will be saved. As part of the further registration process, your consent to receive the newsletter will be obtained, the content will be described in detail, and reference will be made to this privacy policy.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter and the evaluation is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

According to Article 7 paragraph 3 GDPR, you can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with future effect. To do so, you simply need to notify us of your revocation. You can also block receipt of the newsletter by changing the settings in the WhatsApp software on your device.

Send newsletter - Active Campaign
This website uses the services of Active Campaign to send newsletters. The provider is the US provider ActiveCampaign, LLC, 150 N. Michigan Ave Suite 1230, Chicago, IL, USA.

Active Campaign is a service that, among other things, can be used to organize and evaluate the distribution of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g., your email address), this data will be stored on Active Campaign's servers in the USA.

Active Campaign is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The "Privacy Shield" is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.

Active Campaign enables us to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Active Campaign, a file contained in the email (a so-called web beacon) connects to Active Campaign's servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if applicable, which links have been clicked. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for statistical evaluation of the newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not wish to be analyzed by Active Campaign, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have provided to us for receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers and from the Active Campaign servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unaffected.

In this context, we use session cookies, e.g., to store the shopping cart contents, and permanent cookies, e.g., to store the login status.
Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) (execution of order transactions) and (c) (legally required archiving) GDPR. The data marked as required is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of the contract. We only share this data with third parties for delivery, payment, or within the scope of legal permissions and obligations. The data will only be processed in third countries if this is necessary to fulfill the contract (e.g. at the customer's request for delivery or payment).
Users can optionally create a user account in which they can, in particular, view their orders. As part of the registration process, users are provided with the required mandatory information. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines, e.g. Google. If users cancel their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted unless its retention is necessary for commercial or tax law reasons in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Information in the customer account will be retained until it is deleted and subsequently archiving in the event of a legal obligation. It is the user's responsibility to save their data in the event of termination before the end of the contract.
During registration and re-registration, as well as during the use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action.

This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
Deletion occurs after the expiration of statutory warranty and similar obligations; the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular intervals. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after these expiration.

The data processed in this context, as well as the type, scope, and purpose of such processing, as well as the necessity of such processing, arise from the underlying contractual relationship. The data processed includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g., names and addresses), contact details (e.g., email addresses and telephone numbers), as well as contract data (e.g., services used, contract content, contract communication, names of contact persons), and payment data (e.g., As a general rule, we do not process any special categories of personal data unless they are part of the processing of an order or contract.

Data transfer to the USA
Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing operations.
