General Notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy as well as 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 legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as much as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or forgery.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Without your consent, no data will be passed on to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is any 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, in particular storing, disclosing, obtaining, deleting, saving, modifying, destroying, and using personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, we process personal data – insofar as and as far as the EU GDPR is applicable – according to 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 as well as to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures.
  • lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject according to any applicable EU law or according to any applicable law of a country where the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
  • lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
  • lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard legitimate interests of us or third parties, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms as well as interests of the data subject do not outweigh them. Legitimate interests are, in particular, our economic 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 duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Google AdWords

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you accessed our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer.

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by setting your browser to generally disable the automatic setting of cookies or setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com".

External Payment Service Providers

This website uses external payment service providers through whose platforms users and we can carry out payment transactions, such as:

In the course of fulfilling contracts, we use the payment service providers on the basis of the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance and, to the extent necessary, Article 6 (1) (b) of the EU GDPR. Additionally, we use external payment service providers based on our legitimate interests in providing our users with effective and secure payment options in accordance with Swiss Data Protection Ordinance and, to the extent necessary, Article 6 (1) (f) of the EU GDPR.

The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data, such as the name and address, bank data, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs, and checksums, as well as contract, sum, and recipient-related information. These details are necessary to carry out the transactions. However, the entered data is only processed by the payment service providers and stored with them. We, as the operator, do not receive any information on (bank) accounts or credit cards, but only information confirming (acceptance) or rejecting the payment. Under certain circumstances, data may be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit reporting agencies. This transmission aims to verify identity and creditworthiness. For this, we refer to the general terms and conditions and privacy notices of the payment service providers.

For payment transactions, the terms and conditions and privacy notices of the respective payment service providers apply, which are available within the respective website or transaction applications. We also refer to these for further information and the assertion of revocation, information, and other data subject rights.

Order Processing in the Online Shop with Customer Account

We process our customers' data in compliance with the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU GDPR, as part of order processing in our online shop, to enable them to select and order the chosen products and services, as well as to pay for and have them delivered or executed.

The processed data includes inventory data (master data), communication data, contract data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, prospective customers, and other business partners. The processing is for the purpose of providing contractual 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 permanent cookies, for example, to store the login status.

The processing is based on Article 6 (1) (b) (execution of order transactions) and (c) (legally required archiving) of the GDPR. The information marked as necessary is required to justify and fulfill the contract. The data is disclosed to third parties only within the scope of delivery, payment, or as part of the legal permissions and obligations. The data will only be processed in third countries if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (e.g., on customer request for delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account, in which they can view their orders in particular. During registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to the users. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines such as Google. If users have terminated their user account, their data regarding the user account will be deleted, subject to retention for legal reasons in accordance with Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Information in the customer account remains until deleted, with subsequent archiving in the event of a legal obligation. It is the users' responsibility to back up their data before the end of the contract if the account is terminated.

In the course of registration and renewed logins as well as the use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as the users' interests in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation in accordance with Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

The deletion occurs after the expiration of statutory warranty and comparable obligations; the necessity of data retention is reviewed at irregular intervals. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after their expiration.

Contractual Services

We process the data of our contractual partners and interested parties as well as other clients, customers, clients, or contractual partners (collectively referred to as "contractual partners") in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU GDPR in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b)

DSGVO, in order to provide our contractual or pre-contractual services to you. The data processed in this context, its nature, scope, purpose, and the necessity of its processing, are determined by 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 phone numbers), contract data (e.g., services used, contract contents, contractual communication, names of contact persons), and payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history).

We generally do not process special categories of personal data, unless these are components of commissioned or contractually required processing.

We process data that is necessary for the establishment and performance of contractual services and indicate the necessity of providing it, if this is not evident for the contracting parties. Disclosure to external individuals or companies only occurs if it is necessary within the scope of a contract. When processing data provided to us as part of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and legal requirements.

In the context of using our online services, we may store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. Storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the interests of users in protecting against misuse and other unauthorized use. Disclosure of this data to third parties generally does not occur, unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or there is a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Data is deleted when it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of contractual or legal duties of care, as well as for dealing with any warranty and comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular intervals. Furthermore, statutory retention obligations apply.

Note on data transfers to the USA (United States of America)

For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out that for users based in Switzerland, surveillance measures by US authorities exist, which generally enable the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that has been transmitted to the USA.

This occurs without differentiation, limitation, or exception based on the objectives pursued and without an objective criterion that would make it possible to limit the access of US authorities to the data and its subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that would justify the access to this data as well as the interference associated with its use. Furthermore, we would like to point out that in the USA there are no legal remedies for the affected persons from Switzerland that would allow them to obtain access to the data concerning them and to obtain their correction or deletion, respectively, and that there is no effective judicial protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly point out this legal and factual situation to the data subject in order to make an informed decision to consent to the use of their data.

Users residing in a member state of the EU are informed that, from the perspective of the European Union, the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection.
