2. DEFINITION OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person.

3. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

Providing us with personal data is your choice. We will only collect personal data that you choose to submit. In some cases, we may give you the choice of whether you would like to receive information from us or from trusted third parties (for example, by choosing whether or not to subscribe to our newsletter).

You may provide us with personal data if, for example, you contact us via the contact form.

By providing us with personal data, you fully understand and clearly consent to the collection and processing of that personal data. Any such processing carried out by us will comply with this privacy statement.

4. USE OF PERSONAL DATA

We attach great importance to data protection. That is why we strictly observe the legal requirements of the Federal Act on Data Protection when collecting, processing and using your personal data.

We collect, store and process your data solely for the complete fulfilment of your orders (including any subsequent warranty services), for our customer service, for technical administration and for internal marketing purposes.

5. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL DATA

We do not pass your personal data on to third parties.

6. SECURITY

With us, your personal data is transmitted securely by means of encryption. For this purpose, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption system. No one can guarantee absolute protection. However, we protect our website and our other systems through technical and organisational measures against the loss, destruction, access, modification and dissemination of your data by unauthorised persons.

7. USE OF COOKIES

In particular to make using the site more pleasant, cookies or other tracers are used and may automatically record personal information.

We remind users that data relating to their searches and browsing may be processed for advertising targeting purposes by us ourselves, in compliance in particular with personal data protection law. This data is then used in particular for purposes related to advertising, statistical measurement, geolocated advertising or the analysis of internet users' behaviour in order to personalise the advertising addressed to them.

8. INFORMING THE PUBLIC ABOUT WAYS TO CONTROL THEIR TRACES

We inform internet users that recent versions of the main browsers not only make it possible to refuse the storage of cookies but also to carry out browsing sessions at the end of which all cookies installed during that session are automatically deleted, regardless of their intended lifetime, thus offering better protection of traces.

You can obtain information on how to manage cookies at www.aboutcookies.org.

9. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help us analyse how users use the site. The data generated by the cookies about your use of the site (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers that may be located abroad, including in a country offering a lower level of data protection. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the site, compiling reports on site activity and providing other services relating to site activity and internet usage. Google may disclose this data to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the data on Google's behalf, including in particular the publisher of the site. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can disable the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. You can also completely disable the use of Google Analytics by means of the following add-on: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. By using the site, you expressly consent to the processing of your personal data by Google under the conditions and for the purposes described here. In addition, you accept Google's terms of use.

10. USE OF FACEBOOK "LIKE" BUTTONS

Our website uses social plugins ("plugins") of the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins are also marked with a Facebook logo or with the words "Facebook Social Plugin".

If you open a page of our website containing such a plugin, your web browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly by Facebook to your web browser, which integrates it into the web page.

Through the integration of the plugins, Facebook is informed that you have opened the relevant page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our site to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, e.g. by clicking the "Like" button or entering a comment, the corresponding information is sent directly from your web browser to Facebook and stored there.

For the purpose and scope of the collection, processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and your settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's data protection notices.

If you do not want Facebook to collect data about you while you are visiting our website, you must log out of Facebook before coming to our website.

Even when you are not logged in to Facebook, data is sent to Facebook by websites containing active Facebook elements. Each time the website is visited, Facebook installs a cookie, valid for two years, containing an identifier. Since your web browser sends this cookie without asking you each time it connects to a Facebook server, Facebook can in principle build a profile showing the web pages visited by the user corresponding to the identifier. It is therefore entirely possible to link this identifier to a specific person at a later date – e.g. if you subsequently log in to Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to collect data about you through these cookies, you can activate the "Block third-party cookies" function in your web browser settings. In this case, the web browser does not send cookies to the server when third-party content is embedded on the site. With this setting, however, some other interactive functions – besides the "Like" button – may no longer work properly.

11. RIGHT OF ACCESS AND RECTIFICATION

In accordance with the Federal Act on Data Protection, you have a right to information, objection, access and rectification regarding data concerning you.

Consequently, you have the right to require that information concerning you which is inaccurate, incomplete, ambiguous or out of date be rectified, completed, clarified, updated or deleted.

This right may be exercised via the site's contact form.

12. LEGAL BASIS

This privacy statement is based exclusively on the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

13. CONTACT / CUSTOMER SERVICE

For any information, you can send your request directly to us via the contact page.
