In particular, we provide information on why, how and where we process which personal data. We also inform you about the rights of persons whose data we process.

For individual or additional activities and activities, further data protection declarations as well as other legal documents such as general terms and conditions (GTC), terms of use or conditions of participation may apply.

1. Contact address

Responsibility for the processing of personal data:

Läderach (Switzerland) AG
Bleach 14
CH-8755 Ennenda

Email: [email protected]

We would like to point out if there are other controllers for the processing of personal data in individual cases.

2. Terms and legal bases

2.1 Terms

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is an individual about whom we process personal data.

Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and processes used, such as the consultation, comparison, adaptation, archiving, storage, retrieval, disclosure, procurement, recording, collection, deletion, disclosure, ordering, organizing, storing, modifying, disseminating, linking, destroying and using personal data.

2.2 Legal bases

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, FADP) and the German Data Protection Ordinance (Data Protection Ordinance, DPA).

3. Nature, scope and purpose

We process the personal data that is necessary to be able to carry out our activities and activities in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such personal data may include, in particular, the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or marginal data and usage data, location data, sales data, and contract and payment data.

We process personal data for the period of time required for the respective purpose(s) or by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer necessary will be anonymised or deleted.

We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may process personal data together with third parties or transfer them to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialized providers whose services we use. We also ensure the data protection of such third parties.

As a matter of principle, we process personal data only with the consent of the data subjects. If and to the extent that the processing is permissible for other legal reasons, we may waive the need to obtain consent. For example, we may process personal data without consent in order to perform a contract, to comply with legal obligations, or to protect overriding interests.

In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject voluntarily transmits to us when contacting us – for example by post, e-mail, instant messaging, contact form, social media or telephone – or in the context of the use of digital business cards. For example, we may store such information in an address book, in a customer relationship management system (CRM) system, or with similar tools. If we receive data about other persons, the transmitting persons are obliged to ensure data protection for these persons and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly available sources or collect in the course of our activities and activities, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.

4. Data integrity

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. In particular, we ensure the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the personal data processed.

Access to our online presence, and in particular to our website, is provided by means of transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers mark transport encryption with a small padlock in the address bar.

Our digital communication – like all digital communication – is subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion, as well as other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot have any direct influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by intelligence services, police departments and other security authorities.

Personal data abroad

As a matter of principle, we process personal data in Switzerland. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other countries, in particular in order to have it processed there.

We may disclose personal data to all states and territories on earth as well as elsewhere in the universe, provided that the law of that country ensures adequate data protection in accordance with the decision of the Swiss Federal Council.

We may disclose personal data in countries whose laws do not guarantee adequate data protection, provided that appropriate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons. Appropriate data protection can be ensured, for example, by appropriate contractual agreements, on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other appropriate safeguards. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection requirements are met, such as the explicit consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any warranties or provide a copy of warranties.

6. Rights of data subjects

6.1 Data protection claims

We grant data subjects all claims under applicable data protection law. In particular, data subjects have the following rights:

  • Information: Data subjects can request information as to whether we are processing personal data about them and, if so, what personal data is involved. Data subjects will also receive the information necessary to assert their data protection claims and ensure transparency. This includes the processed personal data as such, but also information on the purpose of processing, the duration of storage, any disclosure or export of data to other countries and the origin of the personal data.
  • Rectification and restriction: Data subjects can rectify inaccurate personal data, complete incomplete data and have the processing of their data restricted.
  • Deletion and objection: Data subjects can have personal data deleted ("right to be forgotten") and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data disclosure and data transfer: Data subjects may request the disclosure of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.

We may postpone, limit or refuse to exercise the rights of data subjects to the extent permitted by law. We can point out to data subjects any requirements that may have to be fulfilled for exercising their data protection claims. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part with reference to trade secrets or the protection of other persons. For example, we may also refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part with reference to statutory retention obligations.

We may, by way of exception, charge costs for exercising the rights. We will inform affected persons in advance of any costs.

We are required to take reasonable steps to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.

6.2 Legal protection

Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims by legal means or to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

The Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) is the data protection supervisory authority for complaints by data subjects against private controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland.

7. Use of our service

7.1 Cookies

We may use cookies. Cookies – our own cookies (first-party cookies) as well as cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) – are data that are stored in the browser. Such stored data does not have to be limited to traditional text cookies.

Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily, as "session cookies" or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. Session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies have a certain storage period. In particular, cookies make it possible to recognise a browser the next time you visit our website and thereby measure, for example, the reach of our website. However, persistent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.

Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated and deleted at any time in the browser settings. Without cookies, our website may no longer be available in its entirety. We actively ask – at least if and to the extent necessary – for your explicit consent to the use of cookies.

In the case of cookies that are used to measure success and reach or for advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is required for many services via AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAd Choices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or YourOnline Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).

7.2 Server Log Files

We may collect the following information for each access to our website, provided that it is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: date and time including time zone, IP address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, accessed individual sub-page of our website including amount of data transferred, last accessed website in the same browser window (referrer or referrer).

We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is required in order to provide our website in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner as well as to be able to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data – also by third parties or with the help of third parties.

8. Notifications and Communications

We may send notifications and communications via email and other communication channels, such as instant messaging or SMS.

8.1 Measuring success and reach

Notifications and communications may contain web links or web beacons that record whether a single message has been opened and which web links have been clicked. Such web links and web beacons may also record the use of notifications and communications on a personal level. We need this statistical recording of usage for the measurement of success and reach in order to be able to send notifications and communications effectively and user-friendly as well as permanently, securely and reliably based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients.

8.2 Consent and objection

As a matter of principle, you must expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and other contact addresses, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. If possible, we use the "double opt-in" procedure for any consent, i.e. you will receive an e-mail with a web link that you must click to confirm so that no misuse by unauthorized third parties can occur. We may log such consents, including IP address and date and time, for evidentiary and security purposes.

In principle, you can object to receiving notifications and communications, such as newsletters, at any time. With such an objection, you can at the same time object to the statistical recording of usage for success and reach measurement. We reserve the right to receive necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and activities.

9. Third-Party Services

We use the services of specialized third parties in order to be able to carry out our activities and activities in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such services allow us to embed features and content on our website, among other things. In the case of such an embedding, the services used collect the IP addresses of the users at least temporarily for technically compelling reasons.

For necessary security, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process aggregated, anonymized or pseudonymized data in connection with our activities and activities. For example, it is performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.

In particular, we use:

9.1 Digital infrastructure
