For the hosting of our website and the presentation of page content, we use a provider that provides its services itself or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.

Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information such as browser and location data and IP address values to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by saving settings (e.g. remembering the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website).

By providing your personal data, you agree that we may use this data to send you newsletters.
We store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date. The data collected by us when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of advertising by means of the newsletter.

7.2 MailChimp
Our e-mail newsletters are sent via this provider: The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA
On the basis of our legitimate interest in effective and user-friendly newsletter marketing, we pass on the data you provided when registering for the newsletter to this provider so that they can send the newsletter on our behalf.
Subject to your express consent, the provider also carries out a statistical evaluation of the success of newsletter campaigns using web beacons or tracking pixels in the emails sent, which can measure opening rates and specific interactions with the content of the newsletter. End device information (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) is also collected and analyzed, but not merged with other data sets.
You can revoke your consent to newsletter tracking at any time with effect for the future.
We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider refers to standard contractual clauses of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), which are intended to ensure compliance with the Swiss level of data protection.
8.1 The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the scope of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. If special service providers are used for order processing, we will provide explicit information about this below.
8.2 Transfer of personal data to shipping service providers
- Post CH
If the goods are delivered by the transport service provider Post CH (Schweizerische PostAG, Switzerland, Wankdorfallee 4, 3030 Bern), we will pass on your e-mail address to Post CH prior to delivery of the goods for the purpose of coordinating a delivery date or for delivery notification, provided that you have given your express consent to this during the ordering process - otherwise we will only pass on the name of the recipient and the delivery address to Post CH for the purpose of delivery. The information will only be passed on if this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. In this case, it is not possible to coordinate the delivery date with Post CH in advance or to transmit shipment delivery status information.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future from the controller named above or from the transport service provider Post CH.
9.1 Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a so-called „cookie consent tool“ to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The „cookie consent tool“ is displayed to users when they access the website in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by ticking the appropriate box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's end device if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not processed in this process.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Furthermore, as the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.
Further information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
9.2 Google reCAPTCHA
On this website, we also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“). This function is primarily used to differentiate whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The service includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. As part of the use of Google reCAPTCHA, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits disclosure to third parties.

9.3 Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“) for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers, which may also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This gives Google knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://business.safety.google
The applicable data protection law grants you the following data subject rights (information and intervention rights) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, whereby reference is made to the legal basis stated for the respective exercise requirements:
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and - if applicable - additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under the law of obligations).
When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent, the data concerned will be stored until you withdraw your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data, this data will be retained for the period stipulated by law.
Otherwise, personal data will be processed for as long as you do not expressly prohibit the processing, unless we can prove an overriding interest in further processing within the meaning of Art. 31 para. 2 FADP or justification by law.
