Data Policy
Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your
personal data when collected, processed and used on the occasion of your visit
to our website is an important concern for us.
1. Personal data
Personal data is information that can be used to learn your identity.
This includes your name, address, postal address and telephone number.
Information that is not associated with your identity (such as the number of
users of a website) is not included. In principle, you can use our online services
without disclosing your identity.
When you visit our website or use our services, the device you use to access
the site automatically transmits log data (connection data) to our servers. Log
data includes the IP address of the device you use to access the website or
service, the type of browser you use to access, the page you previously
visited, your system configuration, and dates and times. The IP addresses are
only stored to the extent necessary to provide our services. Otherwise, the IP
addresses will be deleted or anonymized. We store your IP address when you
visit our website for a maximum of 7 days in order to detect and defend against
attacks.
When you request information, order e-books, or make other requests, we ask for
your name and other personal information. It is up to you to decide whether or
not to enter this information. We store your data on specially protected
servers in Switzerland. Following a corresponding examination, the EU
Commission has certified that Switzerland has a level of data protection
comparable to EU law. A transfer of data from the EU to Switzerland is
permissible under data protection law. Access to it is only possible for a few,
authorized persons. They are responsible for the technical, commercial or
editorial support of the content and servers.
Insofar as the usage or traffic data is required for our services, it will be
stored for a maximum of six months after the data has been collected. If the
data is required for the fulfilment of existing legal, statutory or contractual
retention periods (e.g. invoices), this data will also be stored beyond that.
However, this data is blocked and only accessible to a few, authorized persons
via passwords.
Right to object to the collection of data in
special cases as well as to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or
(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data
at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies
to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which
processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you lodge an
objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can
demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your
interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or
defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you
have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data
for the purpose of such marketing, including profiling insofar as it is related
to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be
used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2
GDPR).
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your
personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time at the address given
in the imprint.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
·
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we usually
need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to
request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
·
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request
the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
·
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend
or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the
processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
·
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance
must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been
determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the
restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data
may only be processed – apart from their storage – with your consent or for the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the
rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public
interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
2. Disclosure of personal data to third parties
We will only use your personal information for the purpose for which it
is used by us. We do not pass on the data to third parties without your
explicit consent. Insofar as we are obliged to do so by law or by court order,
we will transmit your data to bodies entitled to receive information.
3. Use of cookies

4. Protection of minors
Children and persons under the age of 18 should not submit any personal information
to us without the consent of their parents or guardians.
5. Links to other websites
Our online offer contains links to other websites. We have no influence
on whether their operators comply with data protection regulations.
6. CRM (Worldsoft Business Suite) and Newsletter
This website uses the Worldsoft Business Suite (WBS). The provider is
Worldsoft AG, Churerstrasse 158, 8808 Pfäffikon, Switzerland.
Worldsoft Business Suite (WBS) is a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) that
can be used to organize and analyze data.
If you submit your personal data to us via a web form or when placing an order,
this data will be stored on the servers of Worldsoft AG in Switzerland.
Following a corresponding examination, the EU Commission has certified that
Switzerland has a level of data protection comparable to EU law. A transfer of
data from the EU to Switzerland is permissible under data protection law.
We will refer you to our privacy policy before submitting your data. By
submitting the data, you agree that we may collect, process and use your
personal data within the framework of the legal regulations.
The purpose of the use results from the context in which your data is
transmitted. Your data will be used for the purpose for which it was originally
collected. Example: If you order a product on our website, your data will be
used to create and send the invoice and for any queries.
Legal basisData processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
You can revoke this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing
operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
Data analysis by the WBSThe WBS allows us to divide prospects and customers
according to different categories (so-called tagging). The address entries
can be subdivided by gender, personal preferences (e.g. vegetarian or
non-vegetarian) or customer relationship (e.g. customer or potential customer).
The data you provide to us will be stored until you revoke your consent.
After revocation of consent, your data will be deleted from our servers as well
as from the servers of Worldsoft AG. For more information, please refer to
the privacy policy of Worldsoft AG at:
www.worldsoft.info/86.
Newsletter data
With the Worldsoft Business Suite (WBS), the dispatch of newsletters can
be organized and analyzed, among other things. The data entered by you for the
purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored on the servers of
Worldsoft AG.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require
an e-mail address or telephone number for SMS, as well as information that
allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address or telephone
number provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will
not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We only use
this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third
parties.
The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be
stored on the servers of Worldsoft AG.
The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively
on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent
to the storage of your data, your e-mail address and their use for sending the
newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the
newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations that have already
taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter
will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be
deleted after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by
us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain
unaffected by this.
When we send newsletters with the help of the WBS, we can determine whether
a newsletter message has been opened and, if so, which links have been clicked.
The WBS also allows us to divide newsletter recipients according to different
categories (so-called tagging). The newsletter recipients can be divided
according to gender, personal preferences (e.g. vegetarian or non-vegetarian)
or customer relationship (e.g. customer or potential customer). In this way,
the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups. For more
information, please visit: www.worldsoft-wbs.info
If you do not want an analysis by the WBS, you must therefore unsubscribe from
the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every
newsletter message.
Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for
the member area, address details for invoicing) remain unaffected by this.
7. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc.
("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the
cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usually transmitted to
a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information
on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile
reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with other
services related to the use of this online offer and Internet usage. The
processed data can be used to create pseudonymous user profiles.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that
the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the
European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European
Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted
to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted
by the user's browser will not be merged with other data held by Google. Users
can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in
their browser software; Users can also prevent the collection of the data
generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google
and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the
browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Mobile users also have the option of opting out of the storage of
cookies:Disable

Further information on the use of data for advertising purposes by Google,
settings and objection options can be found on Google's websites: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/ ("Use of data by
Google when you use websites or apps of our partners"), www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads ("Use of Data for
Advertising Purposes"), www.google.de/settings/ads ("Manage Information
Google Uses to Show You Advertisements"), and www.google.com/ads/preferences/ ("Determine Which Ads Google
Shows You").
8. Social Media with Shariff Module
The usual plug-ins of social media (shown as buttons on the website)
transmit the user data to the social platforms (Facebook & Co) every time a
page is accessed. In this way, some of these plug-ins provide social networks
with information about your surfing behavior. You don't have to be logged in or
a member of the network.
We use the Shariff module on our website. A Shariff button does not
establish direct contact between a social network and you until you actively
click on the share button.
In this way, Shariff prevents users from leaving a digital trace on
every page they visit and improves data protection.
With the Shariff module you can like, +1 or tweet - the respective
social network does not receive more information.
9. Plugins and Tools
DISQUS – Comment Platform
For the comment function, e.g. on blog posts, this site uses the DISQUS
platform. DISQUS is an online public comment sharing platform where users can
log in and create profiles to participate in conversations with like-minded
people and enjoy an interactive experience.
If you write comments on blog posts and create a profile for them, use DISQUS.
This means that your profile data and IP address will be transmitted to this
company and stored on this company's servers in the United States. The provider
of this site has no influence on this data transfer.
You can avoid this by not creating a user profile with DISQUS.
The DISQUS privacy policy can be found here:

Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts from Google for the uniform display
of fonts. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into
its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, however, the browser you are using does not connect to
Google's servers, but accesses Worldsoft's servers in Switzerland. Google does
not know that our website has been accessed via your IP address. However,
Worldsoft will become aware of your IP address in the course of using the
website. The handling of your IP address is described in point 1, paragraph 2
of this privacy policy.
The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing
presentation of our online offerings. If your browser does not support web fonts,
your computer will use a standard font.
Google Maps
This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is
Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
In order to use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP
address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA
and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data
transfer.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our
online offers and an easy findability of the places indicated by us on the
website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6
(1) (f) GDPR.
You can find more information about the handling of user data in Google's privacy
policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The
operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066,
USA.
When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to
YouTube's servers is established. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed
which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to assign your
surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by
logging out of your YouTube account.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our
online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of
Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
