Data Security

We strive to secure your personal data given the technical possibilities and according to applicable data protection laws.  

Your personal data which you transmit to us in the order process or through your customer login are encrypted. We are using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) state-of-the-art encryption coding system; however, we may point out to you that in transmitting data through the internet (e.g. by e-mail communication) security gaps may occur. A complete protection of the data from third party access is not possible.

In order to protect your personal data, we maintain technical and organizational security measures and permanently adapt them to the latest technical developments in line with Art. 7 of the Swiss Data Protection law and the related provisions of the Decree on Swiss Data Protection as well as Art. 32 of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union.

We do not warrant uninterrupted and error-free availability of our offering services. Malfunctions, interruptions or technical failures cannot be excluded. There is a regular and careful back-up of our servers.

Transfer of Data to third parties; no transfer to countries outside CH and EU

As a rule, we are using your personal data only within our own company. If and insofar as we involve third parties in fulfilling contracts (e.g. for logistic or e-mail services), they receive the personal data only to the extent required for the completion of the respective service.

If we outsource certain parts of the data processing to a third party, as, for instance, to our hosting partner, we oblige the data processor in a written contract to process the personal data strictly in compliance with the requirements of the data protection laws and to guarantee the rights of the data subjects.

We do not transfer personal data to instances, companies or individuals outside Switzerland or the European Union and we are not planning to do so in the future.

 

Legal basis

The processing of personal data is based on the actual provisions of the Swiss Data Protection Act, specifically Art. 13 sec. 1 and sec. 2 lit. a DPA and on the actual EU regulations, namely Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a, b and f of the General Data Protection Regulation.
