Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal requirements. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
This data protection declaration serves to implement the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG; SR 235.1) as well as the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (Basic Data Protection Regulation; hereinafter: DSGVO).

3. collection, storage as well as type and purpose of the use of personal data
LogFiles
For technical reasons, your Internet program (browser) automatically transmits data to our web server for internal system and statistical purposes when you access our website.
The following data is thus collected, stored and evaluated:
– Visited website
– Date of access
– Time of access
– Host name of the accessing computer
– URL of the referring website (referrer URL)
– Retrieved file(s)
– Quantity of data sent
– Browser type and version used
– Operating system in use
– Used IP address
This data is stored in so-called server log files; separated from other data that you transmit within the scope of your use of our website, e.g. by entering it in a form. This data is not merged with other data sources. Your data is used by us or by other providers to administer the website, to carry out statistical evaluations (e.g. about accesses), and to be able to recognise and ward off unauthorised accesses.
We and any other providers collect and store this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in the administration of the website (in particular the technically correct display and optimisation), in statistical evaluation and in being able to recognise and ward off unauthorised access (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).
This data is stored and evaluated by us or by other providers for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted by us after evaluation. If data must be stored for reasons of evidence, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified. Legal obligations to retain data remain unaffected.
Cookies
We use cookies on our website. These are small (text) files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.
We currently use the following cookies:

These cookies do not store any personal data. The legal basis for the use of the above-mentioned necessary cookies is our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in obtaining your consent to the lawful use of cookies.
There are also cookies that are not necessary. All cookies that are not absolutely necessary for the functioning of the website and are used in particular to collect personal data of the user via analyses, advertisements and other embedded content are referred to as unnecessary cookies. We also use third-party cookies to help us analyze and understand how you use this website. Such cookies are only stored and evaluated in your browser with your express consent. To declare your consent, you can activate these cookies in the cookie banner on the home page in the “Non-Necessary” section. These cookies are only stored in your browser with your consent. You also have the option of rejecting these cookies. However, rejecting some of these cookies may affect your browsing experience. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO.
The data is stored for as long as specified above. If no information is provided, it will be stored until the purpose of the data storage no longer applies, you revoke your consent or request us to delete it. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

However, this could restrict the range of functions of our offer.
Comment function
Leave a comment
When you leave a comment on our website, we collect the information displayed in the comment form, your IP address and the user-agent string (which identifies the browser) to help us detect spam. If you leave a comment, it will be saved including metadata for an unlimited period of time. This way we can automatically detect and release follow-up comments instead of keeping them in a moderation queue.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO, if the user has given his consent. You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted without consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We have a rectified interest in the detection, prevention and deletion of spam and in the user-friendliness of our website. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
The data is stored until you request us to delete it, declare your revocation or the purpose of the data storage ceases to apply. Your comment will be removed if it is spam. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
You can prevent data processing by not leaving a comment. You have the following options with regard to cookies: Most browsers have functions that inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases; have the option of excluding the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. However, this could restrict the range of functions of our offer.
AntiSpam Bee
Additionally we use the tool “AntispamBee” against spam comments. This is a WordPress add-on program of the provider plugin collective on open source basis with which spam should be limited. Thereby the IP addresses of the user are processed and transmitted in shortened form. According to the provider, this IP anonymisation means that no more reference to your person can be made.
Legal basis for the use of AntiSpam Bee is our legitimate interest (see art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in the detection, prevention and deletion of spam.
The data will be stored until you request us to delete it, declare your revocation or the purpose of the data storage ceases to apply. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
You can prevent the use of AntiSpam Bee by not leaving a comment.
Processing of data of interested parties, customer, contract or inventory data
Contact, data of interested parties
If you contact us because you are interested in our products, want to receive information from us or request a callback, we will collect and use personal data to the extent necessary for these purposes. This may include, for example, the following data: Name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, account details.
The legal basis for the processing is the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in response to your request and/or the processing for the fulfilment of a contract with you (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO).
The collected data will be deleted after completion of the order, after processing the enquiry or after termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
Contract data
If a contractual relationship between you and us is to be or will be established, designed or changed in terms of content, we collect and process personal data to the extent necessary for these purposes. This involves the following data:
– Personal data & addresses
– Contact details (phone numbers, email, social media profiles)
– Bank & custody account data of customers (in particular account details)
– Agreed dates
– Information from public registers (debt collection register, commercial register, land register)
– Information that we learn in connection with official and legal proceedings
– Information about you that is given to us by people in your environment (family, consultants, legal representatives, etc.) so that we can conclude or process contracts with you or with your involvement (e.g. references, your address for deliveries, powers of attorney)
– Information related to your professional functions and activities
– Information about you in correspondence and meetings with third parties
– Credit information (if we do business with you personally)
– Information from banks, insurance companies, distribution and other contractual partners of us to use or provide services from you (e.g. payments/purchases made)
– information from the media and Internet about your person (as far as this is appropriate in the specific case), and
– References for applications.
The legal basis for the processing is the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request and/or the processing for the performance of a contract with you (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO).
If you give your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis. In this case the legal basis is Art. 6 letter a DSGVO. Consent can be revoked at any time for the future without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
We process the personal data collected to ensure the management of the mandate or for the purpose of concluding the contract as well as for contract processing and invoicing and for customer communication purposes. We process special categories of personal data only indirectly if they are part of a commissioned or contractual processing, e.g. your place of birth or the information that you are married.
Within the scope of our mandate and business relationship, you must provide all personal data that is necessary for the initiation and execution of a mandate and business relationship and the fulfilment of the associated contractual obligations. Without this data, we will generally not be able to conclude or execute a contract with you (or the person you represent).
The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.
Newsletter
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided (name and surname).
The data will be processed on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).
The data is stored until you request us to delete it, declare your revocation or the purpose of the data storage ceases to apply. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Data transfer and transmission at home and abroad
Your personal data may be passed on to third parties in the following cases:
– within the scope of a consent granted by you,
– in the context of processing an inquiry, order or the use of our services. In this case, data is passed on to subcontractors who receive the data required to carry out the respective step and use it for the intended purpose,
– within the scope of order processing,
– within the framework of the fulfilment of legal obligations to bodies entitled to receive information,
– insofar as the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
– as far as it is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you.
The third parties are e.g. service providers of us, in particular order processors, as well as authorities, courts, legal representatives and other parties in legal disputes or proceedings.
These recipients may be located in Germany and abroad. If we transfer data to a country without an adequate level of data protection, this is done in the context of the exceptional circumstances in accordance with Art. 49 Para. 1 DSGVO, namely on the basis of a separate consent or if required in the context of the execution of a contract.
