Last update: 01.11.2023

The pri­va­cy pol­i­cy describes how and why we col­lect, process and use per­son­al data. Respon­si­ble han­dling of data has always been an impor­tant con­cern for us. We are con­stant­ly mak­ing adjust­ments to pro­tect our cus­tomers’ per­son­al data even bet­ter. The pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data is very impor­tant to us.

 

What data do we collect

Type of per­son­al data
- Gen­er­al per­son­al data

We process your gen­er­al per­son­al data. Per­son­al data is any type of infor­ma­tion relat­ing to an iden­ti­fi­able nat­ur­al per­son. The nat­ur­al per­son is iden­ti­fi­able if con­clu­sions can be drawn about the iden­ti­ty of the per­son from the avail­able information.

Exam­ple: Your name, IP address and home address are per­son­al data.

- Loca­tion data
We process your loca­tion data to improve elec­tron­ic offers

Exam­ple: You use Google Maps on our web­site to find your way around our location

Source of the per­son­al data
- Data provided

You often pro­vide us with your per­son­al data your­self. When­ev­er you enter your per­son­al data and trans­mit it to us, it is deemed to have been pro­vid­ed to us. The trans­fer of data to us is gen­er­al­ly vol­un­tary, but is some­times manda­to­ry in order to be able to use our services.

Exam­ple: You enter your data in a con­tact form or reg­is­ter for a newsletter.

- Data collected

When you use our ser­vices, we some­times col­lect your data with­out your active par­tic­i­pa­tion being required. This data is usu­al­ly data about your device and data about user behavior.

Exam­ple: We col­lect data about the oper­at­ing sys­tem of the device you used to access our website.

- Data received

We process per­son­al data about you that we receive from third parties.

Exam­ple: We receive data from a con­tact list or data­base with con­tact details of peo­ple from third parties

Pur­pose of the processing
- Prod­uct development

We strive to con­tin­u­ous­ly improve our ser­vices. To this end, we use your per­son­al data to devel­op and improve our prod­ucts and services.

Exam­ple: We col­lect data about vis­i­tor behav­ior on the web­site in order to con­stant­ly improve user-friendliness.

- Data transfer

We share your per­son­al data with com­pa­nies that can decide for them­selves how they use the data. This is usu­al­ly done because it is nec­es­sary to com­ply with legal reg­u­la­tions, when an out­stand­ing debt is trans­ferred to a debt col­lec­tion agency or to detect fraud­u­lent activity.

Exam­ple: A legal require­ment oblig­es us to pass on your data to an authority.

Place of processing
- Switzer­land

We only process your per­son­al data in Switzerland.

- Switzer­land and Europe

We only process your per­son­al data in Switzer­land and the EEA.

- World­wide

We work with providers out­side Switzer­land and the EU to process your per­son­al data. This allows us to ben­e­fit from a glob­al offer­ing and access the best and most reli­able ser­vices. The coun­try to which the data is export­ed may not have the same data pro­tec­tion stan­dard as Switzerland.

Exam­ple: We use the ser­vices of a cloud provider such as Google, which is based in the USA.

 

1. What is this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy about?

Dr. Schier’s , (here­inafter also referred to as “we”, “us”) is a pub­lic lim­it­ed com­pa­ny reg­is­tered in the com­mer­cial reg­is­ter with its reg­is­tered office in Nid­walden. As part of our busi­ness activ­i­ties, we obtain and process per­son­al data, in par­tic­u­lar per­son­al data about our clients, affil­i­at­ed per­sons, coun­ter­par­ties, courts and author­i­ties, law firms, pro­fes­sion­al and oth­er asso­ci­a­tions, vis­i­tors to our web­site, par­tic­i­pants in events, recip­i­ents of newslet­ters and oth­er bod­ies or their respec­tive con­tact per­sons and employ­ees (here­inafter also “you”). We pro­vide infor­ma­tion about this data pro­cess­ing in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy. In addi­tion to this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, we may inform you sep­a­rate­ly about the pro­cess­ing of your data (e.g. in the case of forms or con­trac­tu­al conditions).
If you pro­vide us with data about oth­er per­sons (e.g. fam­i­ly mem­bers, rep­re­sen­ta­tives, coun­ter­par­ties or oth­er asso­ci­at­ed per­sons), we assume that you are autho­rized to do so and that this data is cor­rect and that you have ensured that these per­sons are informed about this dis­clo­sure, inso­far as a legal oblig­a­tion to pro­vide infor­ma­tion applies (e.g. by bring­ing this data pro­tec­tion dec­la­ra­tion to their atten­tion in advance).

 

2. What do we inform about?

• What data is col­lect­ed on premium-honey.com
• Under what con­di­tions we process your data and for what purpose
• How long we keep your data
• When dis­clo­sure to third par­ties is permitted
• How we process your data (“indi­vid­ual data pro­cess­ing operations”)
• When and how you can object to data processing
• What rights you have and how you can assert them

 

3. Def­i­n­i­tions of terms

- 3.1 What is per­son­al data?

Per­son­al data is any infor­ma­tion that relates to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fi­able nat­ur­al per­son. This includes, for exam­ple, name, address, date of birth, email address or tele­phone num­ber. Data about per­son­al pref­er­ences, such as leisure activ­i­ties or mem­ber­ships, also count as per­son­al data.

- 3.2 What is par­tic­u­lar­ly sen­si­tive per­son­al data?

Data on reli­gious, ide­o­log­i­cal, polit­i­cal or trade union views or activ­i­ties; data on health and, where applic­a­ble, infor­ma­tion on admin­is­tra­tive or crim­i­nal pros­e­cu­tions and sanc­tions as well as data on social assis­tance mea­sures are con­sid­ered par­tic­u­lar­ly sen­si­tive per­son­al data. Where nec­es­sary and appro­pri­ate, we may request and process par­tic­u­lar­ly sen­si­tive per­son­al data. In this case, their pro­cess­ing is sub­ject to stricter confidentiality.

- 3.3 What is the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data?

Pro­cess­ing is any han­dling of per­son­al data, regard­less of the means and pro­ce­dures used, in par­tic­u­lar the col­lec­tion, stor­age, reten­tion, use, mod­i­fi­ca­tion, dis­clo­sure, archiv­ing, dele­tion or destruc­tion of data.

- 3.4 What is the dis­clo­sure of per­son­al data?

This is the trans­mis­sion or dis­clo­sure of per­son­al data, e.g. pub­li­ca­tion or dis­clo­sure to a third party.

 

4. How can you get in touch with us?

If you have any ques­tions or con­cerns about the pro­tec­tion of your data by us, you can con­tact us at any time by email at . The con­troller for the data pro­cess­ing that takes place via this web­site is

Dr. Schier’s
Schyn­weg 14

5. Can this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy be amended?

This pri­va­cy pol­i­cy is not part of any con­tract with you. We may amend this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy at any time. The ver­sion pub­lished on this web­site is the cur­rent version.

 

6. Gen­er­al principles

- 6.1 What data we col­lect from you and from whom we receive this data

First and fore­most, we process per­son­al data that you pro­vide to us or that we col­lect when oper­at­ing our web­site. We may also receive per­son­al data about you from third par­ties. This may include the fol­low­ing categories:

• Per­son­al mas­ter data (name, address, date of birth, etc.)
• Con­tact data (cell phone num­ber, email address, etc.
• Finan­cial data (e.g. account details)
• Online iden­ti­fiers (e.g. cook­ie iden­ti­fi­er, IP addresses)
• Loca­tion and traf­fic data
• Sound and image recordings
• par­tic­u­lar­ly sen­si­tive data (e.g. bio­met­ric data or infor­ma­tion about your health)

- 6.2 Under what con­di­tions do we process your data?

We process your data in good faith and in accor­dance with the pur­pos­es set out in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy. In doing so, we ensure trans­par­ent and pro­por­tion­ate pro­cess­ing. If, in excep­tion­al cas­es, we are unable to com­ply with these prin­ci­ples, the data pro­cess­ing may still be law­ful because there is a jus­ti­fi­ca­tion. In par­tic­u­lar, the fol­low­ing grounds for jus­ti­fi­ca­tion may apply:

• Your con­sent
• the per­for­mance of a con­tract or pre-con­trac­tu­al measures
• our legit­i­mate inter­ests, pro­vid­ed that your inter­ests do not prevail

- 6.3 How can you with­draw your con­sent?

If you have giv­en us your con­sent to process your per­son­al data for spe­cif­ic pur­pos­es, we will process your data with­in the scope of this con­sent unless we have anoth­er jus­ti­fi­ca­tion. You can revoke your con­sent at any time by send­ing an e‑mail to the address giv­en in the legal notice. Data pro­cess­ing that has already tak­en place is not affect­ed by this.

- 6.4 In which cas­es can we pass on your data to third parties?

- Prin­ci­ple

We may need to use the ser­vices of third par­ties or affil­i­at­ed com­pa­nies and com­mis­sion them to process your data. We con­trac­tu­al­ly ensure that third par­ties and affil­i­at­ed com­pa­nies com­ply with data pro­tec­tion require­ments. We may also be oblig­ed to dis­close your data to author­i­ties. We only pass on your per­son­al data if:

• • you have giv­en your consent
  • this is nec­es­sary for the ful­fill­ment of the con­tract or the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures and for the enforce­ment of my rights
  • there is a legal oblig­a­tion to do so
  • we have a legit­i­mate inter­est in this and your inter­ests to the con­trary do not prevail.

- For­ward­ing abroad

Under cer­tain cir­cum­stances, your per­son­al data may be trans­ferred to com­pa­nies abroad as part of order pro­cess­ing. These com­pa­nies are oblig­ed to pro­tect data to the same extent as we are. The trans­fer may take place world­wide. If the lev­el of data pro­tec­tion does not cor­re­spond to that of the EEA area, we will car­ry out a pri­or risk assess­ment and con­trac­tu­al­ly ensure that the same lev­el of pro­tec­tion is guar­an­teed as in the EEA area (e.g. by means of the new stan­dard con­trac­tu­al claus­es of the EU Com­mis­sion or oth­er legal­ly pre­scribed mea­sures). If my risk assess­ment is neg­a­tive, we will take addi­tion­al tech­ni­cal mea­sures to pro­tect your data. You can access the EU Commission’s stan­dard con­trac­tu­al claus­es here.

- 6.5 How long do we store your data?

We only store per­son­al data for as long as is nec­es­sary to ful­fill the indi­vid­ual pur­pos­es for which the data was col­lect­ed. Data that we store when you vis­it our web­site is stored for twelve months. An excep­tion applies to analy­sis and track­ing data, which may be stored for longer. We store con­tract data for longer, as we are oblig­ed to do so by law. In par­tic­u­lar, we must store busi­ness com­mu­ni­ca­tions, con­clud­ed con­tracts and account­ing doc­u­ments for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data from you to per­form the ser­vices, the data will be blocked and we will only use it for account­ing and tax purposes.

- 6.6 How we pro­tect your data

We will keep your data secure and take all rea­son­able steps to pro­tect your data from loss, access, mis­use or alter­ation. Our con­trac­tu­al part­ners who have access to your data are oblig­ed to com­ply with data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions. In some cas­es it will be nec­es­sary for us to pass on your inquiries to com­pa­nies affil­i­at­ed with me. Your data will also be treat­ed con­fi­den­tial­ly in these cas­es. With­in our web­site, we use the SSL (Secure Sock­et Lay­er) method in con­junc­tion with the high­est lev­el of encryp­tion sup­port­ed by your browser.

- 6.8 What rights do you have?

- 6.8.1 Right to information

You can request infor­ma­tion about the data we have stored about you at any time. Please send your request for infor­ma­tion togeth­er with proof of iden­ti­ty to . You also have the right to receive your data in a com­mon­ly used file for­mat if we process your data auto­mat­i­cal­ly and if you have giv­en your con­sent to the pro­cess­ing of this data; or if you have pro­vid­ed data in con­nec­tion with the con­clu­sion or exe­cu­tion of a con­tract. We may restrict or refuse to pro­vide infor­ma­tion or data if this con­flicts with our legal oblig­a­tions, our own legit­i­mate inter­ests, pub­lic inter­ests or the inter­ests of a third par­ty. The pro­cess­ing of your request is sub­ject to the statu­to­ry pro­cess­ing peri­od of 30 days. How­ev­er, I may extend this peri­od due to a high vol­ume of requests, for legal or tech­ni­cal rea­sons or because we need more detailed infor­ma­tion from you. You will be informed of the exten­sion in good time, at least in text form.

- 6.8.2 Era­sure and rectification

You can request the era­sure or rec­ti­fi­ca­tion of your data at any time. We may reject the request if statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions oblige us to store the data for a longer peri­od or to store it unchanged, or if your request is con­trary to a legal require­ment. Please note that exer­cis­ing your rights may be in con­flict with con­trac­tu­al agree­ments and may have a cor­re­spond­ing impact on the per­for­mance of the con­tract (e.g. pre­ma­ture ter­mi­na­tion of the con­tract or cost consequences).

- 6.8.3 Legal recourse

If you are affect­ed by the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to file a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty. The com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty in Switzer­land is the Fed­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion and Infor­ma­tion Commissioner.

 

7. Indi­vid­ual data pro­cess­ing oper­a­tions and their purpose

- 7.1 Pro­vi­sion of the web­site and cre­ation of log files

- What infor­ma­tion do we receive and how do we use it?

When you vis­it premium-honey.com, cer­tain data is auto­mat­i­cal­ly stored on our servers or on servers of ser­vices and prod­ucts that we have pur­chased and/or installed for the pur­pos­es of sys­tem admin­is­tra­tion, for sta­tis­ti­cal or back­up pur­pos­es or for track­ing pur­pos­es. These are:

• the name of your inter­net ser­vice provider;</li
• Your IP address (under cer­tain circumstances);
• the ver­sion of your brows­er software;
• the oper­at­ing sys­tem of the com­put­er used to access the URL;
• the date and time of access;
• the web­site from which you vis­it URL;
• the search terms you used to find URL

We use the per­son­al data we col­lect pri­mar­i­ly to con­clude and process our con­tracts with our cus­tomers and busi­ness part­ners, in par­tic­u­lar in the con­text of design orders from our cus­tomers and the pur­chase of prod­ucts and ser­vices from our sup­pli­ers, as well as to com­ply with our legal oblig­a­tions at home and abroad. If you work for such a cus­tomer or busi­ness part­ner, your per­son­al data may of course also be affect­ed in this function.

Fur­ther­more, we process per­son­al data of you and oth­er per­sons, to the extent per­mit­ted and deemed appro­pri­ate by us, in par­tic­u­lar for the fol­low­ing pur­pos­es, in which we (and some­times third par­ties) have a legit­i­mate inter­est cor­re­spond­ing to the purpose:

• Offer­ing and fur­ther devel­op­ment of my offers, ser­vices and web­site and oth­er plat­forms on which we are present;</li
• Com­mu­ni­cat­ing with third par­ties and pro­cess­ing their inquiries (e.g. job appli­ca­tions, media inquiries);
• Review­ing and opti­miz­ing needs analy­sis pro­ce­dures for the pur­pose of direct cus­tomer con­tact and col­lect­ing per­son­al data from pub­licly acces­si­ble sources for the pur­pose of cus­tomer acquisition;</li
• Adver­tis­ing and mar­ket­ing (includ­ing the orga­ni­za­tion of events), unless you have object­ed to the use of your data (if I send you adver­tis­ing as an exist­ing cus­tomer, you can object to this at any time and I will put you on a black­list against fur­ther adver­tis­ing mailings);
• Mar­ket and opin­ion research, media monitoring;
• Enforce­ment of legal claims and defense in con­nec­tion with legal dis­putes and offi­cial proceedings;</li
• Pre­ven­tion and inves­ti­ga­tion of crim­i­nal offens­es and oth­er mis­con­duct (e.g. con­duct­ing inter­nal inves­ti­ga­tions, data analy­sis to com­bat fraud);
• Guar­an­tee­ing our oper­a­tions, in par­tic­u­lar IT, our web­sites, apps and oth­er platforms

- Why we are allowed to process this data

This data can­not be assigned to a spe­cif­ic per­son and is not merged with oth­er data sources. The log files are stored in order to guar­an­tee the func­tion­al­i­ty of the web­site and to ensure the secu­ri­ty of our infor­ma­tion tech­nol­o­gy sys­tems. This is our legit­i­mate interest.

- How can you pre­vent data collection?

The data is only stored for as long as is nec­es­sary to achieve the pur­pose for which it was col­lect­ed. Accord­ing­ly, the data is delet­ed at the end of each ses­sion. The stor­age of log files is absolute­ly nec­es­sary for the oper­a­tion of the web­site; you there­fore have no option to object to this.

- 7.2 Google Analytics

- How does Google Ana­lyt­ics work?

Our web­site uses Google Ana­lyt­ics, a ser­vice pro­vid­ed by Google Ire­land Ltd, Google Build­ing Gor­don House, Bar­row St, Dublin 4, Ire­land and Google LLC, 1600 Amphithe­atre Park­way Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA; both togeth­er “Google”, where­by Google Ire­land Ltd. is respon­si­ble for the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data. Google uses cook­ies, which are stored on your device and enable the web­site to be ana­lyzed by you. The infor­ma­tion gen­er­at­ed by the cook­ie about your use of the web­site will be trans­mit­ted to and stored by Google on servers in the Unit­ed States. We have added the code “anonymizeIP” to Google Ana­lyt­ics. This ensures that all data is col­lect­ed anony­mous­ly. Only in excep­tion­al cas­es is the full IP address trans­mit­ted to a Google serv­er in the USA and trun­cat­ed there.

- Why are we allowed to use Google Analytics?

Google eval­u­ates the data col­lect­ed on our behalf so that we can get an idea of the vis­its and user behav­ior on our web­site. This enables us to improve our ser­vices and web­site con­tent and design.
How can you pre­vent the col­lec­tion of your data via Google Analytics?
You can pre­vent the stor­age of cook­ies by adjust­ing the set­tings in your brows­er accord­ing­ly (see our infor­ma­tion on cook­ies). You can deac­ti­vate Google Ana­lyt­ics by down­load­ing and installing the Google brows­er add-on. Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy.

- 7.3 Track­ing pixels

- How do track­ing pix­els work?

We may use track­ing pix­els on our web­site. Track­ing pix­els are also known as web bea­cons. Track­ing pix­els — includ­ing those from third par­ties whose ser­vices we use — are small, usu­al­ly invis­i­ble images that are auto­mat­i­cal­ly retrieved when you vis­it our web­site. Track­ing pix­els can be used to col­lect the same infor­ma­tion as serv­er log files. We use them for the same pur­pos­es as log files — you can­not pre­vent data collection.

- 7.4 Evaluations

In some cas­es, your per­son­al data is processed auto­mat­i­cal­ly in order to eval­u­ate cer­tain per­son­al aspects. We use such eval­u­a­tions in par­tic­u­lar to pro­vide you with tar­get­ed infor­ma­tion and advice about cer­tain ser­vices or prod­ucts from us. For this pur­pose, we use eval­u­a­tion tools that enable us to com­mu­ni­cate in line with your needs and take appro­pri­ate adver­tis­ing mea­sures, includ­ing mar­ket and opin­ion research.

- 7.5 Contact

- E‑Mail

- What infor­ma­tion do we receive and how do we use it?

You have the option of con­tact­ing us by e‑mail. If you con­tact us by email, the fol­low­ing data will be processed:

• E‑mail address;
• Con­tent, sub­ject and date of your email;
• Con­tact details pro­vid­ed by you (e.g. name, tele­phone num­ber if applic­a­ble, address)

- Why are we allowed to process this data?

Your data will be stored by us for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing your request and in the event of fol­low-up ques­tions. Pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­sures or my legit­i­mate inter­ests in pro­cess­ing the request serve as justification.

- Secu­ri­ty notice

We would like to point out that e‑mails can be read or changed with­out autho­riza­tion and unno­ticed dur­ing trans­mis­sion. The spam fil­ter can reject emails if they have been iden­ti­fied as spam by cer­tain characteristics.

- 7.6 Mea­sur­ing suc­cess and reach

- How does the mea­sure­ment of suc­cess and reach work?

Our noti­fi­ca­tions and mes­sages may con­tain web links or track­ing pix­els that record whether an indi­vid­ual mes­sage has been opened and which web links have been clicked on. Such web links and track­ing pix­els can also record the use of noti­fi­ca­tions and mes­sages on a per­son­al basis.

- Why are we allowed to process this data?

We need this sta­tis­ti­cal record­ing of usage to mea­sure suc­cess and reach in order to be able to offer noti­fi­ca­tions and mes­sages based on the needs and read­ing habits of recip­i­ents in an effec­tive, user-friend­ly, per­ma­nent, secure and reli­able manner.

- 7.7 Cookies

- How do cook­ies work?

Our web­site uses cook­ies. Cook­ies are data records that are stored on your device’s oper­at­ing sys­tem with the help of the brows­er when you vis­it our web­site. Cook­ies do not cause any dam­age to your com­put­er and do not con­tain viruses.

- What infor­ma­tion do we receive and how do we use it?

Most of the cook­ies we use are so-called “ses­sion cook­ies”. They are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed at the end of your vis­it. Oth­er cook­ies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cook­ies enable us to rec­og­nize your brows­er on your next vis­it. This allows us to save cer­tain set­tings (such as lan­guage set­tings or loca­tion infor­ma­tion) so that you do not have to re-enter them when you vis­it the web­site again.

- Why we may use cookies

We use cook­ies so that we can make our web­site more user-friend­ly, effec­tive and secure. The use of cook­ies and the pro­cess­ing of your data in this regard is based on our legit­i­mate inter­ests in the afore­men­tioned purposes

- How can you pre­vent data col­lec­tion via cookies?

Cook­ies are stored on your com­put­er. You there­fore have full con­trol over the use of cook­ies. You can delete them com­plete­ly or deac­ti­vate or restrict their trans­mis­sion by chang­ing the set­tings in your brows­er. If you deac­ti­vate cook­ies for our web­site, you may no longer be able to use all the func­tions of the web­site to their full extent.

- 7.8 Google Web Fonts

- How does Google Web Fonts work?

We use so-called web fonts on our web­site for the uni­form dis­play of fonts, which are pro­vid­ed by Google, among oth­ers. When you access one of our pages, your brows­er loads the required web fonts into your brows­er cache in order to dis­play texts and fonts correctly.

- What infor­ma­tion do you share with us and how is it used?

The brows­er you use estab­lish­es a con­nec­tion to Google’s servers. This informs Google that our web­site has been accessed via your IP address. If your brows­er does not sup­port web fonts, a stan­dard font will be used by your computer.

- Why are we allowed to use Google web fonts?

The use of Google Web Fonts is in the inter­est of a uni­form and appeal­ing pre­sen­ta­tion of our online offers. For more infor­ma­tion about Google Web Fonts, see the FAQs of Google Web Fonts.

- 7.9 Google Maps

We inte­grate the fol­low­ing con­tent from the fol­low­ing providers on our web­site: Loca­tion infor­ma­tion via Google Maps

- How does the inte­gra­tion of Google Maps work?

Your IP address is stored for the pur­pose of using the Google Maps func­tions. This is usu­al­ly trans­mit­ted to a Google serv­er in the USA. We have no influ­ence on this data trans­fer. For more infor­ma­tion, see the Google pri­va­cy pol­i­cy.

- Why are we allowed to inte­grate this content?

The use of Google Maps is in the inter­est of an appeal­ing pre­sen­ta­tion of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we have indi­cat­ed on the web­site. This is also in our legit­i­mate interests.

- What infor­ma­tion do you share with the providers?

- 7.10 WooCommerce

We have inte­grat­ed the WooCom­merce open source store sys­tem as a plu­g­in on our web­site. This WooCom­merce plu­g­in is based on the Word­Press con­tent man­age­ment sys­tem, which is a sub­sidiary of Automat­tic Inc (60 29th Street #343, San Fran­cis­co, CA 94110, USA). The imple­ment­ed func­tions send, store and process data to Automat­tic Inc. In this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, we inform you what data is involved, how the net­work uses this data and how you can man­age or pre­vent data storage.

- What is WooCom­merce?

WooCom­merce is an online store sys­tem that has been part of the Word­Press direc­to­ry since 2011 and was devel­oped specif­i­cal­ly for Word­Press web­sites. It is a cus­tomiz­able, open-source eCom­merce plat­form based on Word­Press and has also been inte­grat­ed into our web­site as a Word­Press plugin.

- Why do we use WooCom­merce on our website?

We use this prac­ti­cal online store solu­tion to offer you our phys­i­cal or dig­i­tal prod­ucts or ser­vices on our web­site in the best pos­si­ble way. The aim is to pro­vide you with sim­ple and easy access to our range so that you can find the prod­ucts you want quick­ly and eas­i­ly. With WooCom­merce, we have found a good plu­g­in that meets our require­ments for an online store.

- What data is stored by WooCommerce?

Infor­ma­tion that you active­ly enter in a text field in our online store can be col­lect­ed and stored by WooCom­merce or Automat­tic. So when you reg­is­ter with us or order a prod­uct, Automat­tic can col­lect, process and store this data. In addi­tion to your e‑mail address, name or address, this may also include cred­it card or billing infor­ma­tion. Automat­tic may sub­se­quent­ly use this infor­ma­tion for its own mar­ket­ing campaigns.

There is also infor­ma­tion that Automat­tic auto­mat­i­cal­ly col­lects from you in so-called serv­er log files:

• IP address
• Brows­er information
• Pre­set lan­guage setting
• Date and time of web access

WooCom­merce also sets cook­ies in your brows­er and uses tech­nolo­gies such as pix­el tags (web bea­cons), for exam­ple to clear­ly iden­ti­fy you as a user and pos­si­bly offer inter­est-based adver­tis­ing. WooCom­merce uses a num­ber of dif­fer­ent cook­ies that are set depend­ing on the user action. This means, for exam­ple, that when you place a prod­uct in the shop­ping cart, a cook­ie is set so that the prod­uct remains in the shop­ping cart when you leave our web­site and return at a lat­er time.

 

8. What else should be considered ?

We do not assume that the EU Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (“GDPR”) is applic­a­ble in our case. How­ev­er, should this be the case in excep­tion­al cas­es for cer­tain data pro­cess­ing, this sec­tion 8 applies exclu­sive­ly for the pur­pos­es of the GDPR and the data pro­cess­ing sub­ject to it.
We base the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data in par­tic­u­lar on the fact that

• • it is nec­es­sary as described in sec­tion 7 for the ini­ti­a­tion and con­clu­sion of con­tracts and their admin­is­tra­tion and enforce­ment (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR;
  • it is nec­es­sary for the pur­pos­es of the legit­i­mate inter­ests pur­sued by us or by a third par­ty as described in para. 7, name­ly for com­mu­ni­ca­tion with you or third par­ties, to oper­ate our web­site, to improve our elec­tron­ic offers and reg­is­tra­tion for cer­tain offers and ser­vices, for secu­ri­ty pur­pos­es, for com­pli­ance with Swiss law and inter­nal reg­u­la­tions, for our risk man­age­ment and cor­po­rate gov­er­nance and for oth­er pur­pos­es such as train­ing and edu­ca­tion, admin­is­tra­tion, evi­dence and qual­i­ty assur­ance, orga­ni­za­tion, imple­men­ta­tion and fol­low-up of events and to safe­guard oth­er legit­i­mate inter­ests (see sec­tion 7) (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR);
  • it is required or per­mit­ted by law on the basis of our man­date or our posi­tion under the law of the EEA or a mem­ber state (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or is nec­es­sary to pro­tect your vital inter­ests or those of oth­er nat­ur­al per­sons (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR);
  • you have con­sent­ed to the pro­cess­ing sep­a­rate­ly, e.g. via a cor­re­spond­ing dec­la­ra­tion on our web­site (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR).
