4) Cookies

To make your visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of your browser session — that is, after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your browser during your next visit (persistent cookies).

When cookies are set, they collect and process specific user information such as browser type, location data, and IP address values to varying degrees. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period, which may differ depending on the cookie.

In part, cookies are used to simplify order processes (e.g., to remember the contents of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit). We may collaborate with advertising partners who help make our website more interesting for you. In this case, cookies from partner companies (third-party cookies) are also stored on your hard drive when you visit our website. If we work with such advertising partners, you will be informed individually and specifically about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected within the corresponding sections below. Please note that you can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies, to decide individually whether to accept them, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. You can find instructions on how to change these settings in your browser’s help menu, under the following links:

9.4 Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Processors)

– Google Pay

If you choose Google Pay (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland), payment processing occurs through the Google Pay app on your Android device with NFC capability, using a card stored in Google Pay or a verified payment system (e.g., PayPal).

For payments above €25, you must unlock your device using your chosen verification method (e.g., password, fingerprint, or facial recognition). For payment processing, your order details are transmitted to Google. Google then forwards your payment information in the form of a unique transaction number to the originating website to confirm the transaction.  This transaction number contains no actual payment data but serves as a one-time token. Google acts solely as an intermediary for payment processing; the transaction itself occurs between you and the merchant.

If personal data is processed during these transmissions, it is done exclusively for payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1(b) GDPR.

PayPal may carry out a credit check for certain payment methods.
To do so, your payment data may be forwarded to credit agencies based on PayPal’s legitimate interest in assessing your creditworthiness.

The result of this check is used to determine whether a payment method can be offered.
Details can be found in PayPal’s Privacy Policy:

You can object to this data processing at any time by contacting PayPal, though PayPal may still process your data if necessary for contract fulfillment.

11) Use of Social Media: Videos

Use of YouTube Videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos hosted by YouTube, a service belonging to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).**

The extended privacy mode is enabled, which—according to YouTube—means that user information is only stored once a video is played.
When you start playback of an embedded YouTube video, YouTube sets cookies to collect information about user behavior.

According to YouTube, these are used, among other purposes, to compile video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent misuse.
If you are logged in to your Google account, your activity will be directly associated with your profile when you click on a video.
If you do not wish this association, you must log out before activating the video.

Google stores data (even for users not logged in) as user profiles and analyzes them.
You have the right to object to the creation of these profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact YouTube directly.

When using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.
Even without playing a video, a connection to the Google network is established every time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing beyond our control.

Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found here:
👉 https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

For data transfers to the USA, the provider relies on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) to ensure compliance with Swiss data protection standards.

​

12) Tools and Miscellaneous

12.2 Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”)** on our website. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually present geographical information. Its use allows you to easily locate our business and plan your route. When accessing a subpage containing a Google Maps element, information about your use of our website (e.g., your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google servers.
This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.

This occurs regardless of whether you are logged into a Google account. If you are logged in, your data will be directly linked to your account; to prevent this, log out before using the map feature.

Google stores data as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these profiles; to exercise this right, contact Google directly. If you disagree with future transmission of your data to Google in connection with Google Maps, you can disable the service entirely by deactivating JavaScript in your browser settings. Google Maps (and thus the map display) will then no longer be functional. For transfers to the USA, Google relies on FDPIC-approved Standard Contractual Clauses ensuring Swiss-level data protection.

• Google Terms of Use: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html

• Google Maps Additional Terms: https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

• Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

12.3 Applications for Job Vacancies via Email

Our website may list open job vacancies that interested candidates can apply for by email to the address provided.

To participate in the recruitment process, applicants must provide all personal data necessary for a thorough evaluation and selection process.
This typically includes general personal information (name, address, telephone or email contact) and qualification-related documents required for the position.
In some cases, health-related information may also be required where legally necessary for employment or social-security considerations.

After receiving an application, we store and process the applicant’s data exclusively for the purpose of managing the application process.
For follow-up questions, we may use the email address or phone number provided.

The legal basis for processing is the initiation of an employment relationship. If special categories of personal data (e.g., health data) are processed, this occurs only as required to fulfill legal obligations in employment and social-security law or for health and occupational safety purposes. If an applicant is not selected or withdraws the application, the submitted data—including all related correspondence—will be deleted no later than six months after notification, based on our legitimate interest in addressing any subsequent questions and fulfilling equal-treatment documentation duties.
If the application is successful, the data will be further processed for the execution of the employment relationship.

​

13) Rights of the Data Subject

Under applicable data-protection law, you have the following rights concerning the processing of your personal data:

• Right of access (Art. 25 DSG)

• Right to data portability or disclosure (Art. 28 DSG)

• Right to rectification (Art. 32 para. 1 DSG)

14) Duration of Retention of Personal Data

The duration of storage of personal data depends on the applicable legal basis, the processing purpose, and—where relevant—statutory retention periods (e.g., commercial or tax law).

Where processing is based on explicit consent, the data will be retained until you withdraw your consent. If statutory retention periods apply, data will be retained for the legally required duration.

Beyond that, personal data will be processed as long as you do not expressly object, unless we can demonstrate an overriding legitimate interest in continued processing under Art. 31 para. 2 DSG or another legal justification.
