Common browsers offer the option to disallow cookies.

The information stored in the cookie and sent back recognizes that the user has already accessed and visited the respective website with the web browser of their device. We use this information to optimize the display of the website according to the user's preferences. However, only the cookie itself is identified on the device. Storage of personal data will only take place if the user explicitly gives us their consent, namely when the user actively contacts us via the contact form or other channels or if such storage is absolutely necessary to use the offered and accessed service.

When visiting our website, cookies can be stored in your browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a specific period as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Permanent cookies, in particular, enable your browser to be recognized on your next visit to our website and, for example, to measure the reach of our website. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example. You can disable and delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, as mentioned in the sections above. Without cookies, our online offer may no longer be fully available. If necessary, we actively request your express consent to the use of cookies.

We do not use cookies, but we do use services from third parties. Their data protection is explained separately below.

Third-Party Services

Integration of Vimeo
We have embedded videos from Vimeo on our website. However, all the videos on our website are embedded in the enhanced privacy mode, using the "do-not-track" option. We do not have further control over the data transmission to Vimeo. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Vimeo, please refer to the Vimeo Privacy Policy.

Integration of Jotform
Jotform Inc. provides the registration form service. The data submitted will not be disclosed to third parties by Jotform, except under special circumstances (ordered by a court order). More information can be found here. Jotform also ensures that the transmitted data is securely stored.

Use of reCAPTCHA
To protect your inquiries via internet forms, we use the reCAPTCHA web service provided by Google. The query serves to differentiate whether the input is made by a human or is abused by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, other data mentioned under the section "Collection of personal data when visiting our website" of this statement to Google, which is required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address will 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 this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data from Google. The legal basis for data collection is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. For more information about Google's privacy policy, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Use of Maps
On this website, we use the service provided by map.search.ch; you can find their privacy policy here: https://www.search.ch/privacy

§ 4 Collection of Personal Data when Contacting or Making a Purchase
You have the option to order products from us via the internet or personally on-site. Regardless of whether you place your order online in the webshop or in person, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we require for the processing of your order. Mandatory information required for the processing of contracts is marked separately on the respective order form. Additional information is voluntary. We process the data provided by you for the processing of your order. For this purpose, we may pass on your payment data to our house bank. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

We offer several payment methods and use different payment service providers. Depending on the payment method you choose, different data will be transmitted to the respective payment service provider. You can view the respective privacy policies of the payment service provider you have chosen. The legal basis for the transmission is Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Furthermore, we use your address and email address, which we have received from you in connection with the sale of goods or services, for direct advertising of our own similar goods or services, unless you have objected to the use; you can object at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs (see also the section "Right to Object" in this statement). The legal basis for the use is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

To prevent unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data, especially financial data, the online ordering process is encrypted using TLS technology.

§ 5 Information on the Regular Duration of Processing
All documents and data received from the customer are only stored by us for as long as is necessary for the provision of our service or the protection of a legitimate interest, unless we have expressly indicated a specific duration in individual cases or you have given us a different consent. Due to legal retention obligations, we are obliged to retain invoice and accounting documents for 10 years. Your data must also be stored for a longer period if this is necessary within the scope of an administrative or judicial procedure.

§ 6 Special Information / Data Processors
If personal data is processed for the purpose of advertising, data analysis, or an individual automated decision, including profiling, we will inform you separately about your data protection rights.
If necessary, we use external service providers and data processors to process your data. These include the following activities:
Shipping of goods
Payment processing
Debt collection services
External consulting (tax advisors, lawyers, auditors)
Operation and hosting of our website
Applications for our website (plug-ins)

When we use data processors, a contract for data processing has been concluded with the respective service provider to ensure the protection of your personal data. They have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions, and are regularly monitored.

We only disclose your data to third parties if:

You have given explicit consent to do so (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR),
it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR),
there is a legal obligation to do so (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR),
the disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

§ 7 Data Transfer to Non-EU Countries
As the data controller within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR, we are located in Switzerland. Therefore, data will be transferred to a non-EU country. However, Switzerland is considered to provide an adequate level of data protection equivalent to EU member states.
