Privacy policy

Data protection

Foreword 

We, Beat Grossenbacher GmbH (hereinafter"the company","we" or"us") take the protection of your personal data seriously and would like to take this opportunity to inform you about data protection in our company.

As part of our responsibility under data protection law, additional obligations have been imposed on us by the entry into force of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679; hereinafter: "GDPR") in order to ensure the protection of personal data of the person affected by processing (we also refer to you as the data subject below with "customer", "user", "you", "you" or"data subject").

Insofar as we decide either alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of data processing, this includes above all the obligation to inform you transparently about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing (cf. Art. 13 and 14 GDPR). With this declaration (hereinafter:"data protection information"), we inform you about the way in which your personal data is processed by us.

Our data protection information has a modular structure. It consists of a general section for any processing of personal data and processing situations that apply each time a website is accessed (A. General) and a special section, the content of which relates only to the processing situation specified there with the designation of the respective offer or product, in particular the visit to websites described in more detail here (B. Visit to websites).

1. general 

(1) Definitions

Following the example of Art. 4 GDPR, this data protection notice is based on the following definitions:

- "Personal data" (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). A person is identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data or information relating to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. Identifiability can also be achieved by linking such information or other additional knowledge. The origin, form or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (photos, video or audio recordings can also contain personal data).

- "Processing " (Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) means any operation which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means (i.e. using technical specifications). This includes, in particular, the collection (i.e. acquisition), recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data, or alteration of the purposes for which they were originally processed.

- "Controller" (Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR) is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

- "Third party" (Art. 4 No. 10 GDPR) is any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data; this also includes other legal entities belonging to the group.

- "Processor" (Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR) is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with the controller's instructions (e.g. IT service provider). In terms of data protection law, a processor is in particular not a third party.

- "Consent" (Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR) of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

(4) Legal basis for data processing

In principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited by law and is only permitted if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications:

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR ("consent"):
If the data subject has voluntarily, in an informed and unambiguous manner, by means of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, indicated that he or she consents to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR:
If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR:
If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject (e.g. a legal obligation to retain data);

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR:
If processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR:
If the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, or

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR ("Legitimate interests"):
If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate (in particular legal or economic) interests of the controller or a third party, unless the conflicting interests or rights of the data subject prevail (in particular if the data subject is a minor).

For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate the applicable legal basis in each case below. Processing may also be based on several legal bases.

5) Data erasure and storage duration

For the processing operations carried out by us, we indicate below how long the data is stored by us and when it is deleted or blocked. Unless an explicit storage period is specified below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for storage no longer applies. Your data will generally only be stored on our servers in Switzerland, subject to any disclosure in accordance with the provisions in A.(7) and A.(8).

However, your data may be stored beyond the specified period in the event of a (threatened) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings or if storage is provided for by statutory provisions to which we are subject as the controller. If the storage period prescribed by the statutory provisions expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.

(6) Data security

We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. TSL encryption for our website), taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing as well as the existing risks of a data breach (including its probability and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

We will be happy to provide you with more detailed information on request. Please contact our data protection officer (see under A.(3)).

(7) Cooperation with processors and resellers

As with any large company, we also use external domestic and foreign service providers to process our business transactions (e.g. for IT, logistics, telecommunications, sales and marketing). These service providers only act in accordance with our instructions and are contractually obliged to comply with data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

If we transfer your personal data to our resellers (for example www.hungeschirr-grossenbacher.de or www.grossenbacher-deutschland.de) or are passed on to us by our resellers (e.g. for advertising purposes or inquiries and information about our products), this is done on the basis of existing order processing relationships.

(8) Requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries

As part of our business relationships, your personal data may be passed on or disclosed to third-party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing takes place exclusively to fulfill contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer below at the relevant points.

The European Commission certifies that some third countries have data protection standards comparable to the EEA standard by means of so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.html). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible through binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates or recognized codes of conduct. Please contact our data protection officer (see A.(3)) if you would like more information on this.

(9) No automated decision-making (including profiling)

We do not intend to use personal data collected from you for automated decision-making (including profiling).

(10) No obligation to provide personal data

We do not make the conclusion of contracts with us dependent on you providing us with personal data beforehand. As a customer, you are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data; however, we may only be able to provide certain services to a limited extent or not at all if you do not provide the necessary data. If this should exceptionally be the case in the context of the products presented below and offered by us, you will be informed of this separately.

(11) Legal obligation to transmit certain data

We may be subject to a special legal or statutory obligation to provide the lawfully processed personal data to third parties, in particular public authorities (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR).

(12) Your rights

You can assert your rights as a data subject with regard to your processed personal data at any time by contacting us using the contact details provided at the beginning under A.(2) and A.(3).

As the data subject, you have the following rights:

  • Right to information

In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you can request information about your data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the category of data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details;

  • Right of rectification

In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to demand the immediate correction of incorrect data or the completion of your data stored by us.

  • Right to erasure

In accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, you can request the deletion of your data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. However, we are obliged to delete your personal data if your data is no longer required for our purposes, if consent has been withdrawn and there is no other legal basis.

  • Right to restriction of data processing

In accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your data if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you or the processing is unlawful.

  • Right to data portability

In accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right, under certain conditions, to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller.

  • Right of objection

In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, you can object to the processing if the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR. This is the case in particular if the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you. If it is not an objection to direct advertising, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we have done when exercising such an objection. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

  • Right of withdrawal

In accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR, you may withdraw your consent once given to us at any time (even before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before May 25, 2018) - i.e. your voluntary, informed and unequivocal consent to the processing of the personal data concerned for one or more specific purposes, if you have given such consent - by means of a declaration or other unambiguous confirmatory act. The consequence of this is that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future.

  • Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

In accordance with Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data if you believe that the processing violates the GDPR. You can assert your right to lodge a complaint in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

(13) Changes to the data protection information

As part of the further development of data protection law as well as technological or organizational changes, our data protection information is regularly reviewed to determine whether it needs to be adapted or supplemented. You will be informed of any changes, in particular on our website at www.grossenbacher-beat.ch in particular. This data protection notice is valid as of May 2021.

Informational visit to our website
The following categories of personal data are collected, stored and processed by us during the informational use of the websites:

Log data
When you visit our websites, a so-called log data record (so-called server log files) is temporarily and anonymously stored on our web server.

This consists of:

  • the page from which the page was requested (so-called referrer URL)
  • the name and URL of the requested page

  • the amount of data transferred
  • the operating system
  • the message whether the call was successful (access status/Http status code)
  • the GMT time zone difference

Contact form data
When contact forms are used, the data transmitted through them is processed (e.g. gender, surname and first name, address, company, email address and the time of transmission).
In this context, we process your data exclusively for the purpose of communicating with you. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if the contact is made to initiate a contract. Otherwise, your inquiry will be answered in our common interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Newsletter
In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer a subscription to our newsletter, which we use to inform you about news such as new products etc. If you subscribe to our newsletter, the following "newsletter data" will be collected, stored and processed by us:

  • the page from which the page was requested (so-called referrer URL)

  • the description of the type of web browser used
  • the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened so that a personal reference can no longer be established

We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the aforementioned data and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links contained in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymized form, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, and direct personal identification is excluded. 

Contacting us by e-mail, fax or telephone
You can contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax. Your personal data transmitted in this way will be stored by us; the data will not be passed on to third parties.

The data will be processed exclusively in order to process your contact; the legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data will be stored until it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of the conversation with you and the purpose of your contact has been fully clarified.

If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract with us, the additional legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. This data will be stored for as long as it is necessary for the performance of the contract. Otherwise, we only store your data in order to fulfill contractual or legal obligations; see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).

(3) Purpose and legal basis of data processing

We process the personal data specified above in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR, the other relevant data protection regulations and only to the extent necessary. Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, the aforementioned purposes also represent our legitimate interests.

The processing of log data serves statistical purposes and to improve the quality of our website, in particular the stability and security of the connection (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

The processing of contact form data is carried out to process customer inquiries (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b or lit. f GDPR).

Newsletter data is processed for the purpose of sending the newsletter. When registering for our newsletter, you consent to the processing of your personal data (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an email to the email address you have provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to verify your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can revoke your consent by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, by e-mail to info@grossenbacher-beat.ch or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the legal notice.

(6) Use of cookies, plugins and other services on our website

  1. a) Cookie

We use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files that are assigned to the browser you are using and stored on your hard disk by means of a characteristic string of characters and through which certain information flows to the site that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer and therefore cannot cause any damage. They serve to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall, i.e. more convenient for you.

cookies may contain data that makes it possible to recognize the device used. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information on certain settings that are not personally identifiable. However, cookies cannot directly identify a user.

A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. In terms of their function, cookies are divided into:

- Technical cookies: These are absolutely necessary to move around the website, use basic functions and ensure the security of the website; they do not collect information about you for marketing purposes, nor do they store which websites you have visited;

- Performance cookies: These collect information about how you use our website, which pages you visit and, for example, whether errors occur on the website. They do not collect any information that could identify you - all information collected is anonymous and is only used to improve our website and to find out what interests our users;

- Advertising cookies, targeting cookies: These are used to provide the website user with tailored advertising on the website or offers from third parties and to measure the effectiveness of these offers; advertising and targeting cookies are stored for a maximum of 13 months;

- Sharing cookies: These are used to improve the interactivity of our website with other services (e.g. social networks). Sharing cookies are stored for a maximum of 13 months.

Any use of cookies that is not absolutely technically necessary constitutes data processing that is only permitted with your express and active consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. This applies in particular to the use of advertising, targeting or sharing cookies. In addition, we only pass on your personal data processed by cookies to third parties if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. 

  1. b) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to design our website to meet your needs. Google Analytics uses targeting cookies that are stored on your end device and can be read by us. In this way, we are able to recognize and count returning visitors and find out how often our websites have been accessed by different users. Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, since we have activated IP anonymization on our website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and only shortened there (for more information on the purpose and scope of data collection, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de). We have also concluded an order processing contract with Google LLC (USA) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Google will therefore only use all information strictly for the purpose of evaluating the use of our websites for us and compiling reports on website activity.

You can revoke your consent at any time. Please use one of the following options: 

  • You inform us that you wish to withdraw your consent.
  • You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
  • You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of our websites (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). 
  1. c) Facebook pixel (website costum audience pixel)

We have integrated a pixel from Facebook Ireland Limited into this website. This is a website custom audience pixel. This pixel collects information about the use of the website by us and Facebook Ireland Limited under joint responsibility and transmits it to Facebook Ireland Limited. This information can be assigned to you using other information that Facebook Ireland Limited has stored about you, e.g. via your Facebook account. As a result of the information collected via the pixel, interest-based advertisements about our offers can be displayed in your Facebook account (retargeting). In addition, the information collected via the pixel can be collected by Facebook Ireland Limited and used for its own advertising purposes as well as for advertising purposes of third parties. This enables Facebook Ireland Limited to infer certain interests from your surfing behavior on our website and to use this information to advertise third-party offers.

In addition, Facebook Ireland Limited may combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that Facebook Ireland Limited has collected about you through other websites or your Facebook account and store a profile about you that Facebook Ireland Limited can use for advertising purposes. Facebook Ireland Limited is solely responsible for the further processing and permanent storage of your data as described here.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please use one of the following options to do so:

  • You inform us that you wish to withdraw your consent.
  • You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. 
  1. d) Retargeting

We also use retargeting technologies from external service providers (e.g. Facebook pixels) on our website. Retargeting gives us the opportunity to tailor our online offers to you and make them more interesting for you. This allows us to place targeted online advertising on the websites of our partners and resellers and address users who have already shown an interest in our website and products. Various studies have shown that interest-based advertising tailored to the user is more interesting than advertising with no personal reference.

We use a cookie for this purpose, which can be used to collect interest data using pseudonyms. This information is used to display personalized and interest-based advertising on our partners' websites. No directly personal data is stored in this process. In addition, no user profiles are created with personal data.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit a GDPR (consent).

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please use one of the following options to do so:

  • You inform us that you wish to withdraw your consent.
  • You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. 
  1. f) Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited for our website. Google Tag Manager is an organizational tool with which we can centrally integrate and manage website tags (e.g. Google Analytics) via a user interface. The Tag Manager merely forwards data from the respective website tags. No cookies are set and no data is stored. Instead, the Google Manager Tag is a cookie-less domain that does not access the data itself. The Google Tag Manager recognizes when an analysis program wants to collect data (e.g. when registering for a newsletter) and then forwards the data to the respective program.

Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services in Europe. 

  1. g) Social media plugins

We use social media plugins on our website; the legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The reason for our use of social media plugins is to make our company and our products better known. The purpose behind the use is to be seen as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. The responsibility for data protection-compliant operation is to be guaranteed by the respective provider.

The respective provider will inform you about the purpose and scope of data processing by the respective provider as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your data and privacy in its data protection information.

If you log out of the social media websites before visiting our website and delete the cookies set there, you can prevent the social networks from assigning the information collected about you to your respective social media account during your visit to our website.

You can also completely prevent the plug-ins from loading with add-ons for your Internet browser - for example with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net)- to prevent this. 

Instagram
We have integrated plugins from the social network Instagram Inc, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA on this website. If you click on the Instagram button and are logged into your Instagram account at the same time, you can share and link the content of our site on your profile.

YouTube
We use the social plugin from Google (YouTube) on our website. This is an offer from the American company Google.

This allows Google to track your visit to this website. This applies even if you do not actively use the YouTube plug-in function. If you have an account with Google (YouTube), you can use such a social plugin and share information with others. We have no influence on the respective content of the plugin or on the transmission of the information.

Facebook fan page
We operate a Facebook fan page (Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California, 94025, USA, "Facebook") to get in touch with followers and provide information about our products and offers. This enables us to receive statistics from Facebook on the use of our fan page by Facebook users so that we can observe user behavior and the respective interactions with our fan page. For more information, please refer to the Facebook Insights information. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have no influence on the data that is processed under our own responsibility in accordance with the respective conditions of Facebook, as Facebook itself processes the aforementioned information for its own market research and advertising purposes.
