This document explains what personal data (i.e., information related to identified or identifiable persons) we collect from your visit on our web sites and from your orders, and how these are processed and used. We also explain how we use cookies.
Personal data is all data which make personal reference to you, such as your name, address, email addresses, user behaviour. We process your personal data with respect to the applicable data protection regulations, particularly the European General Data Protection Regulation as well as all other pertinent international and national regulations concerning the processing of personal data.
In principle, we only collect data that are legally or contractually required or necessary for conclusion of contracts or to provide services and honour our contractual obligations. Optional information is marked as such. There are no negative consequences associated with not supplying this information. However in some cases, failure to supply this may hinder/delay communication with you, for example.
Your personal data are always protected against loss and misuse with appropriate technical and organisational measures. It is stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to the public. In certain cases, such as when you log in or make a payment, your personal data will be transmitted in encrypted form through the so-called "Secure Socket Layer" technology (SSL). This means that the communication between your computer and our servers will take place via a certified encryption process.

This pertains to the connection data of your computer (IP address), the subpages you are visiting on our site, date and duration of your visit, recognition of the types of device, operating system and browser and the website or starting point from which you came to visit us.

We collect and process such data only insofar as this serves the professional processing of your order and the maintenance of our customer relationship.
Apart from that we process anonymised information about how our visitors use our user interfaces; it helps us to enhance our services and the functions of our web sites, and to adapt them to your needs.
We treat your data confidentially as a matter of principle and do not pass them on to third party processors. However, we reserve the possibility to have the data processed by third parties in Switzerland or in EU countries, if so required for the operational processing of your orders. In such case, an adequate level of data protection will be ensured by compliance with the privacy protection laws applicable in Switzerland, the EU and in each such country, and by corresponding contracts with our suppliers.
So that reorders or potential complaints can be processed, your order information is held for up to 30 days before it is irrevocably deleted.

In this section, we would like to provide with extensive information on the topic of “usage-based online advertising”. Our website, or the website you were forwarded from, collects and processes your usage behaviour anonymously. This benefits you as a user, since you receive advertising which is more suited to your fields of interest, and because less randomly dispersed advertising is sent to you overall.

All the usage data is stored with the use of a pseudonym, so that a personal identification is generally excluded. For data collection for the purpose of sending usage-based online advertising, we make use of the following tools:

We seek to design our web presence as user friendly and efficient as possible. To this end, we apply cookies. You may decide yourself whether or not our software may load cookies onto your computer. You can configure your browser so that cookies will not be accepted, or only from certain web sites, or only after notice. Please observe, however, that the use of certain functions of our website may be restricted or disabled if you decline cookies from our web site. For a convenient experience we recommend a browser setting which accepts our cookies.
Cookies are small data files which are stored in the browser of your computer while it visits our web sites. Cookies support the functions of our service, by retaining your entries during a session or during an order process and by saving certain user settings. They also assist us with analysing the way our services are used, in order to design them as convenient and efficient as possible for our users.
We apply session cookies and permanent cookies. In addition, partner and affiliate cookies are employed. Session cookies remain stored only for the duration of a visit of our web sites, and are automatically deleted while closing the browser.
Permanent cookies remain on your computer until you delete them or their duration expires. They memorise anonymous information relating to users who repeatedly take access to one of our web sites. This helps us to offer optimised user guidance, and to recognise and distinguish one user from others, in order to maintain that user’s personal settings, simplify the user experience on the web site, and provide each user with customised contents and pages. These cookies are not designed to actually identify users. Such cookies are also implemented for purposes of anonymised web analytics, see
Partner and affiliate cookies are employed where a user takes access to our services via a platform of one of our partners (e.g. an advertising display). They serve for accounting with such partners, do not contain personal data of the user, and are deleted once the user registers on our user interface, or upon expiry of the pre-set duration.
The application of cookies can normally be avoided, restricted, or connected with a notice to the user by corresponding settings in your browser. The help manual of your browser will instruct you what to do. Please note, however: Some cookies are essential for the use of our web site, or of certain functions. If they are disabled, you may not be able to pass through the order process, and you may have to accept restrictions in display and user guidance. Please also note that there may be no possibility of disabling cookies when accessing our user interfaces by other means than through a browser, for instance, through mobile devices.
Two technical solutions are currently used as part of our web analysis.
Webtrekk Analytics Tools

Within the framework of order processing, we use technology from Webtrekk GmbH Robert-Koch-Platz 4, 10115 Berlin, Germany. This automatically collects and saves data. Pseudonymous usage profiles are also created here. Webtrekk uses them to provide us with reports on user activity and other services related to the use of our websites.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest, Art. 6(1) point f GDPR, to provide you with a smooth order process and to make our website more user-friendly and effective overall.
