General

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), everyone has the right to 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as well 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 by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

By using this website, you consent 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 the pages accessed or the names of the files accessed, the date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular your name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

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 the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, saving, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as and to the extent that the EU GDPR applies:

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes.
Contract fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b. GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c. GDPR) - Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR) - Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
Application process as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR) - Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR (e.g. health data, such as disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants in order to enable the controller or the data subject to exercise their rights under labor law and social security and social protection law and to fulfill their obligations in this regard, such processing shall be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b. GDPR, in the case of the protection of vital interests of applicants or other persons pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (c) GDPR or for the purposes of health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of the employee, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. h. GDPR. In the case of disclosure of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR.

We process personal data for the period necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the event of longer storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we will restrict processing accordingly.

Relevant legal basis

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we will inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not specified in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing for the performance of our services and the implementation of contractual measures as well as for responding to inquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing for the fulfillment of our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing, as well as the likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access to, input, transfer, and backup of the data and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure that data subjects can exercise their rights, that data is deleted, and that responses are provided in the event of a threat to the data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account during the development and selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings.

Transfer of personal data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may occur that the data is transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons, or disclosed to them. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to ensure that your data is protected.

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies, or companies, this will only be done in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we only process data in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligations through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online offering. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the location where a video was viewed. We also include other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as “user IDs”) under the term “cookies.”

The following types of cookies and functions are distinguished:

Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser.
Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. This allows, for example, the login status to be stored or preferred content to be displayed directly when the user revisits a website. Similarly, the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes, can be stored in such a cookie.
First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us.
Third-party cookies (also known as third-party cookies): Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
Necessary (also known as essential or strictly necessary) cookies: Cookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of a website (e.g., to store logins or other user input or for security reasons).
Statistics, marketing, and personalization cookies: Cookies are also generally used for reach measurement and when a user's interests or behavior (e.g., viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. This process is also known as “tracking,” i.e., tracking the potential interests of users. If we use cookies or “tracking” technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or when obtaining your consent.

Information on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for the processing of your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., in the commercial operation of our online offering and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we provide you with explicit information on the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g., in the context of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option of revoking your consent or objecting to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (collectively referred to as “opt-out”) at any time. You can initially declare your objection by adjusting your browser settings, e.g., by deactivating the use of cookies (although this may also restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can obtain further information on objection rights in the information on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure in which users' consent to the use of cookies, or to the processing and providers specified in the cookie consent management procedure, is obtained and can be managed and revoked by users. The declaration of consent is stored so that it does not have to be requested again and so that consent can be verified in accordance with legal requirements. The storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information on the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The duration of the storage of the consent can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored together with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers) and the browser, system, and device used.

Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

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

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

Third-party services

This website uses Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services provided by the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed itself to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we need your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe link” in the newsletter.

For the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created, your email address and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen will also be stored.

Storage of IP address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not review comments on our site before they are published, we need this data in order to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time via a link in the info emails.

Paid services

In order to provide paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, so that we can execute your order or commission. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Ads will place a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. 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 yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie for this purpose, for example by changing your browser settings to disable the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com.”

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google.”

The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under “My data,” “Personal data.”

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are shortened before being processed, thus ruling out any possibility of personal identification. If the data collected about you is personal, it will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred 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 the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Disable Google Analytics.

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will place an opt-out cookie on your device that prevents Google Analytics from processing your personal data. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, meaning that you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. Opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

This website uses functions provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you visit our pages with Facebook plug-ins, a connection is established between your browser and the Facebook servers. Data is already transferred to Facebook during this process. If you have a Facebook account, this data can be linked to it. If you do not want this data to be associated with your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our site. Interactions, in particular the use of a comment function or clicking a “Like” or “Share” button, are also passed on to Facebook. You can find out more at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Our website incorporates features of the Instagram service. These features are provided by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking on the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Instagram.

On this website, we use social plugins from the social network Pinterest, which is operated by Pinterest Inc., 808 Brannan Street San Francisco, CA 94103-490, USA (“Pinterest”). When you visit a page that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Pinterest servers. The plugin transmits log data to the Pinterest server in the USA. This log data may include your IP address, the address of the websites you visited that also contain Pinterest functions, the type and settings of your browser, the date and time of the request, your use of Pinterest, and cookies.

For more information about the purpose, scope, and further processing and use of data by Pinterest, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Pinterest's privacy policy: https://about.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy

In the context of fulfilling contracts, we use payment service providers on the basis of the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance and, where necessary, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. EU GDPR. In addition, we use external payment service providers on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance and, where necessary, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. EU GDPR in order to offer our users effective and secure payment options.

The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data, such as name and address, bank details, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs, and checksums, as well as contract, sum, and recipient-related information. This information is necessary to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed and stored by the payment service providers. As the operator, we do not receive any information about your (bank) account or credit card, but only information confirming (acceptance) or rejection of the payment. Under certain circumstances, the data may be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to verify your identity and creditworthiness. For more info, check out the payment service providers' terms and conditions and privacy policies.

Payment transactions are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the respective payment service providers, which can be found on their websites or in the transaction apps. We also refer you to these for further info and to exercise your rights of withdrawal, information, and other rights as a data subject.

Order processing in the online shop with customer account

We process our customers' data in accordance with the data protection regulations of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the EU GDPR within the framework of the ordering process in our online shop in order to enable them to select and order the selected products and services, as well as to pay for and deliver or execute them.

The data processed includes master data (inventory data), communication data, contract data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, interested parties, and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the scope of operating an online shop, billing, delivery, and customer service. We use session cookies, e.g. to store the contents of the shopping cart, and permanent cookies, e.g. to store the login status.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (execution of order processes) and c (legally required archiving) GDPR. The information marked as required is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of the contract. We only disclose the data to third parties within the scope of delivery, payment, or within the scope of 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., at the customer's request for delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account, which allows them to view their orders in particular. During registration, users are informed of the mandatory information required. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines such as Google. When users terminate their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, unless retention is necessary for commercial or tax reasons in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Information in the customer account will remain until it is deleted and subsequently archived in the event of a legal obligation. It is the responsibility of users to back up their data before the end of the contract.

When registering, logging in again, and using our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. Storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interests in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data will not be 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 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Deletion takes place after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations; the necessity of storing the data is reviewed at irregular intervals. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion will take place after their expiry.

Note on 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 secure third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

The copyright and all other rights to content, images, photos, or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or the specifically named rights holders. The written consent of the copyright holder must be obtained in advance for the reproduction of all files.

Anyone who commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective rights holder may be liable to prosecution and, if necessary, liable for damages.

General disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up to date, accurate and complete. Nevertheless, errors cannot be completely ruled out, which means that we cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of information, including journalistic and editorial content. Liability claims for material or immaterial damage caused by the use of the information provided are excluded, unless there is evidence of wilful intent or gross negligence.

The publisher may change or delete texts at its own discretion and without notice and is not obliged to update the content of this website. The use of or access to this website is at the visitor's own risk. The publisher, its clients, or partners are not responsible for any damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental, pre-determined, or consequential damages, allegedly caused by visiting this website and therefore accept no liability for such damages.

The publisher also accepts no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links on this website. The operators of the linked sites are solely responsible for their content. The publisher hereby expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that violates public decency.
