Privacy Policy

This privacy policy provides information about the data processing that occurs during your visit to this website or if you enter into a contractual relationship with us. This privacy policy will be updated regularly, particularly in the event of changes to data protection legislation.

The processing of your data is subject to Swiss law. Where necessary, the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (DSGVO) is also complied with. Insofar as the DSGVO applies, your data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO (consent), Art. 6 (1) b) DSGVO (performance of a contract) and Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO (legitimate interests).

We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

Collection of data

When accessing this website, the following data, among others, is stored in log files:
IP address, date, time, browser request and general information about the operating system or the browser used.

This information is stored for purely statistical purposes and is not passed on to third parties.

Collection and processing of personal data

We collect personal data where users (have to) provide information, for example, when filling out the contact form, creating the user account or ordering. Personal data include:

  • Contact details (name, address, mail, phone number, etc.)
  • Username and password (if needed)
  • Purchase and transaction data (if needed)
  • payment information (if needed)

We process personal data at the time of collection.

Purpose of data processing

The (personal) data are collected for the explicitly agreed, indicated or obvious purposes. Fur-thermore, the required processing of personal data is carried out in order to protect the legitimate interests of ourselves or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and inter-ests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests particularly include our business interest to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compli-ance with legal requirements. Processing is also carried out for the purpose of fulfilling a contract with the person concerned as well as for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.

Deletion and storage period

The personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer ap-plies. Storage may take place beyond this if this has been provided for by Swiss or European legis-lation. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Third party services

We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if you expressly consent, if there is a legal obligation or permission to do so, if the disclosure is necessary for the enforcement, execution or defense of legal claims, or if the disclosure of data is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Google). The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under “My data”, “Personal data”. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, which means that personal references can be ruled out. If the data collected about you is related to a person, this is therefore immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP ad-dress 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 for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating 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/CH-US Data Privacy Framework self-certification program.

You can prevent tracking by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics.
