1. DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION

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 these websites 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 far as possible from 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. Visiting this website is generally possible without registration. Data such as pages accessed or the name of the file accessed, the date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly associated with you. Where 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 passed on to third parties without your express consent.

2. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

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

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, if and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:

Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR)

- The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.

Contractual performance and pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (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 (1) (c) GDPR)

- Processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

Protection of vital interests (Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR)

- Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR)

- Processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, unless such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

Application procedure as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR)

- If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability or ethnic origin) are required from applicants so that the controller or the data subject can exercise their rights under labor and social security law and fulfill their obligations in this regard, their processing will be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR, in the case of protecting the vital interests of applicants or other persons in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (c) GDPR or for the purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, to assess the employee’s ability to work, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (h) GDPR. If special categories of data are transmitted on the basis of voluntary consent, their processing will be carried out on the basis of Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR.

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

3. RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not stated in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to provide our services and implement contractual measures as well as to answer inquiries is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

4. SECURITY MEASURES

In accordance with legal requirements, 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 implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

These measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access, input, confidentiality, ensuring availability, and segregation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, the erasure of data, and response to data risks. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data right from the development and selection of hardware, software, and processes based on the principle of data protection, through technology design, and through data protection-friendly default settings.

5. TRANSFER OF PERSONAL DATA

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transmitted to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals. Recipients of this data may, for example, be service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such a case, we adhere to the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.

6. DATA PROCESSING IN THIRD COUNTRIES

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

Subject to express consent or contractual or statutory transmission obligations, we process or have data processed only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractually bound by so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, if certifications or binding internal data protection regulations are in place (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, EU Commission information page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

7. ORDERING AND CONTRACT PROCESSING IN THE ONLINE SHOP

When ordering products in our online shop, personal data is processed to process the order and fulfill the contract. The data collected includes, in particular: first and last name, billing and delivery address, email address, telephone number (if applicable, e.g., for shipping notification), ordered products, and the selected shipping and payment method.

Depending on the payment method selected, payment information will be processed by an external payment service provider (see below). Complete payment details such as credit card numbers are not stored.

When you create a customer account, additional login data (user name, encrypted password) is saved so that orders can be assigned to the respective account.

8. TRANSFER TO SHIPPING COMPANIES

For the delivery of ordered products, the delivery address and, if necessary, email address or telephone number will be passed on to the commissioned shipping company (e.g., Swiss Post or courier services). The transmitted data may only be used for delivery purposes.

9. STORAGE PERIOD AND LEGAL RETENTION OBLIGATION

We only store your order and contract data for as long as necessary for processing or as required by law. According to the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO), accounting records, orders, invoices, and business correspondence must be retained for 10 years.

10. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

Legal basis for data processing
Your personal data is processed based on:

• Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a DSG (performance of contract)
  
• Art. 31 para. 1 DSG (statutory retention obligations)
  To the extent that we involve service providers, this is done on the basis of contracts for order processing in accordance with Art. 9 DSG.

11. NEWSLETTER DISTRIBUTION

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will process your email address to regularly send you our newsletter with information about our products, services, and news. Optionally, we may ask you for additional information, such as your name, to personalize the newsletter. Providing this information is voluntary.

Registration for our newsletter is carried out using the so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration, you will receive a confirmation email with which you must actively confirm your registration again. This confirmation ensures that no third-party email address is used. We log the registration process (time, IP address, consent) in order to fulfill our documentation obligations under the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG).

We use the Shopify Email service to send our newsletter. This service is operated by Shopify International Limited, 2nd Floor, 1-2 Victoria Buildings, Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland. Your personal data is processed on servers in Canada and the USA. Shopify is certified under the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures adequate data protection within the meaning of Swiss data protection law. We have concluded a contract with Shopify for order processing, in which the company undertakes to process your data exclusively in accordance with our instructions and to implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

Shopify may also use tracking technologies when sending newsletters. This allows us to record, for example, whether and when a newsletter was opened or which links were clicked. We use this information exclusively for statistical analysis to improve our offering. The analyses are carried out anonymously or in aggregate form. No personal analysis of individual recipients is carried out. If you do not wish to be tracked, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter or by sending us an informal message. After unsubscribing, your email address will be deleted from the active mailing list or stored in a blocked file to prevent future mailings. This storage is based on our legitimate interest in documenting consents granted and preventing misuse.

Legal basis: Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (6) in conjunction with Art. 31 DSG.

12. COOKIE PRIVACY POLICY

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 includes, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a shopping cart, or the location where a video was viewed. The term "cookies" also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also called "user IDs").

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest when a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser.
Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when a website is visited again. User interests can also be stored in such cookies, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes.
First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us ourselves.
Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are primarily used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
Necessary (also: essential or strictly necessary) cookies: On the one hand, cookies can be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user inputs or for security reasons).
Statistical, marketing, and personalization cookies: Cookies are also generally used to measure reach and when a user's interests or behavior (e.g., accessing certain content, using features, etc.) are stored in a user profile on individual websites. Such profiles are used, for example, to show users content that matches their potential interests. This process is also referred to 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 consent.

Notes 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 processing your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., in operating and improving our online offering) or, if the use of cookies is necessary, to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Duration of storage: Unless we expressly inform you about the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g. as part 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 using cookie technologies at any time (collectively referred to as "opt-out"). You can initially declare your objection via your browser settings, e.g., by deactivating the use of cookies (which may also limit the functionality of our online offering). Objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be made via various services, particularly 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 within the framework of 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 the processing operations and providers named in the cookie consent management procedure is obtained and can be saved and revoked by users. This means that the declaration of consent is saved so that it does not have to be repeated and so that consent can be proven in accordance with legal obligations. The data can be stored on the server and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie or with the help of comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following applies: The consent can be stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user ID is created and, at the time of consent, information about the scope of the consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system and device used are saved.

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 (1) (a) GDPR), Legitimate Interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

13. PRIVACY POLICY FOR 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 browser's address line changing 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.

14. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

This website may use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.

These services of the American Google LLC use, among other things, cookies, which transmit data to Google in the USA. We assume that in this context no personal tracking occurs solely through the use of our website.

Google is committed to ensuring adequate data protection under the US-EU and US-Swiss Privacy Shield Frameworks. For more information, see Google's privacy policy.

15. PRIVACY POLICY FOR CONTACT FORMS

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

The use of contact data published in accordance with the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example, through spam emails.

18. PAID SERVICES

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

19. USE OF GOOGLE MAPS

This website uses Google Maps. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and to enable you to conveniently use the map function. When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account with which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right you must contact Google. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

20. GOOGLE ADS

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Ads will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad 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 that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for Ads 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 any information that personally identifies the user. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the requested setting of a cookie – for example, by using a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies or by 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 have measurement data recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

21. USE OF GOOGLE REMARKETING

This website uses the remarketing feature provided by Google Inc. This feature is designed to present interest-based advertising to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the website visitor's browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, visitors may be presented with advertising related to content they have previously viewed on websites that use the Google remarketing feature.

According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google's remarketing feature, you can generally deactivate it by configuring the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can opt out of the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

22. PRIVACY POLICY FOR GOOGLE ANALYTICS

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

The statistics collected allow us to improve our offerings and make them more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, 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 (1) (f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by 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 processed in a shortened form so that any personal reference can be excluded. If the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately. 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 the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. 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 cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that if you do this you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, you can 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 Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Deactivate 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 data storage device, preventing Google Analytics from processing personal data. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted. This means that if you continue to prevent this form of data collection, you must set the opt-out cookies again. The opt-out cookies are set for each browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

23. PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE USE OF GOOGLE WEB FONTS

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for consistent font display. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

24. GOOGLE TAG MANAGER

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags via an interface, thus integrating Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal user data. Regarding the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the following information on Google services. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

25. GOOGLE MERCHANT CENTER & GOOGLE SHOPPING

To promote our products, we use Google Merchant Center and Google Shopping, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Product information is transmitted to Google for display in search results or in the Google Shopping section.

During use, Google may process personal data, such as IP addresses or device information. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy.

26. NOTICE ON DATA TRANSFER TO THE USA

Our website contains 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. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing operations.

27. USE OF META (FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM) AND PINTEREST

Our website uses marketing and analysis tools from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”), as well as the Pinterest Tag from Pinterest Europe Ltd., Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Pinterest”).

28. META PIXEL (FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM)

With the Meta Pixel, we can measure the success of our ads on Facebook and Instagram and show you personalized ads on these platforms. When you visit our website, a connection is established to Meta servers, which tells Meta that you have visited our website and which pages you have viewed. If you are logged in to Facebook or Instagram, Meta can assign this information to your profile. Even without your own account, the pixel creates a pseudonymous identifier.

We only receive aggregated and anonymous evaluations. Meta stores the data and may also use it for its own advertising purposes in accordance with its privacy policy.

The meta pixel is only used if you have given your consent to the "Marketing" category in the cookie banner. You can revoke your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings or by objecting to its use in your Facebook/Instagram account settings (under "Advertising Settings").

Please note that Meta also transfers data to the USA. Meta is certified according to the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, which guarantees adequate data protection. However, access by US authorities cannot be ruled out.

For more information, see Meta's privacy policy.

29th Pinterest Day

The Pinterest tag allows us to measure the effectiveness of Pinterest ads and optimize future advertising. Anonymous data such as pages visited and interactions are collected. Pinterest stores this data and can link it to your Pinterest account and use it for its own purposes.

The Pinterest tag is also only used with your consent via the cookie banner. You can opt out of this at any time by adjusting your cookie settings or changing your personal preferences in your Pinterest account.

30. YOUR RIGHTS AND OPTIONS

You can revoke your consent to the use of marketing cookies at any time, e.g. via the cookie banner or in your browser settings.

If you have a Facebook/Instagram account, you can disable personalized advertising in your account settings under “Advertising Settings”:
https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads

Information about Pinterest advertising settings can be found here:
https://help.pinterest.com/de/article/personalize-your-ad-experience

31. LEGAL BASIS

Data processing is carried out based on your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Art. 13 (1) DSG (Switzerland)). Joint controllership with Meta is regulated in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. For data transfers to the USA, we rely on the adequacy determination (Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework) and, where applicable, standard contractual clauses.

32. COPYRIGHTS

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

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

33. GENERAL DISCLAIMER

All information on our website has been carefully reviewed. We strive to ensure that our information is up-to-date, accurate, and complete. However, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, so we cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of the 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 intentional or grossly negligent fault.
