2.2. Scope of processing of personal data

As a general rule, our users’ personal data are only collected and used by us where this is necessary in order to provide a properly functioning website and for our content and services. This only occurs with the consent of the user. The only exception to this is where data processing is permitted by law and it is not possible to obtain consent in advance due to practical reasons.

Where the purpose for which data have been stored no longer applies, the data subject’s personal data are erased. Storage may continue if permitted under national or European law. Where personal data must be stored to take steps prior to entering into a contract or for the performance of a contract, blockage or erasure may be delayed notwithstanding the expiry of the storage period.

 

3. Third party services

3.1. Host provider

The website of Denecke + Leuzinger AG is hosted on the servers of lavitto ag in Netstal, Switzerland. www.lavitto.ch

Please be aware that the transmission of data over the internet may as a general matter entail security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to achieve comprehensive protection against third party access.

3.2. Collection of personal data when our website is visited

If the website is used purely for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or transfer any other information to us, we only collect personal data that your browser transmits to our servers. If you would like to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us in order to display our website and to guarantee stability and security:

  • IP address
  • request date and time
  • time zone difference with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • content of the request (specific page)
  • access status/HTTP status code
  • the relevant quantity of data transferred
  • the website from which the request was made
  • browser
  • operating system and surface
  • language and version of the browser software

The IP addresses contained in these logs are without exception anonymised after seven days, although normally on a daily basis. Logs may be retained for longer than seven days, depending upon technical requirements.

3.3. Google Maps

We use Google Maps to embed maps and directions. This is a service provided by the US company Google LLC. The Irish company Google Ireland Ltd. is responsible for users in Switzerland and the European Economic Area. This service uses cookies. As far as we are aware, usage of our website does not result in any personal tracking. Further information can be found in the Google Privacy Policy.

 

4. Registration form, email contact and using the online shop

4.1. Description and scope of data processing

The “Availability check” function on our website offers the option of ordering products in our online shop. If you would like to place an order in our online shop, you will need to register with us using your personal data in order to conclude a contract. Information that is absolutely essential for the performance of the contract is specifically marked; the provision of other information is optional. We process the data provided by you in order to fulfil your order.

If you wish, you can set up a customer account so that we can save your data for future purchases. If you set up an account under “Customer log in[TR2] ”, the data entered by you will be stored unless and until instructed otherwise. You can arrange for all other data, including your user account, to be erased by us. Please contact us should you wish to do so.

However, you can also send us a normal email through the “Contact” page without registering under “Availability check”, which we will receive via the program Microsoft® Outlook®. Alternatively, you can also get in touch directly by writing to any of our email addresses. Should you do so, the user’s personal data transmitted along with the email will be stored. No data are shared with third parties in relation to the above.

4.2. Duration of storage

We are obliged under commercial and tax law to store your address, payment data and order data for a period of ten years. Email conversations between users and Denecke + Leuzinger AG and other personal data (such as email addresses) are stored by our email program and archived. They are definitively erased at regular intervals whenever emails are deleted.

4.3. Ability to object to processing and to remove data stored

Users may withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. This may be done by contacting us in writing via email or ordinary post. All personal data stored in relation to the contact will be erased in the event that content is withdrawn or of an objection.
