Cookies enable us to track your visit to our website in order to improve the user-friendliness of our website, but they do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. They also serve to save settings between your visits or to technically enable functionalities of the website.

Personal data

Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person; A natural person is regarded as identifiable who, directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, to an identification number, to location data, to an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person can be identified. This includes, for example, your name, your telephone number, your address and all inventory data that you provide to us when you register or when you place an order. This does not include statistical or anonymized data that we collect when you visit our website and that cannot be directly linked to your person.

 

Purposes of data processing

The collection and processing of personal data takes place - in addition to the purpose of fulfilling the contract - for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (connection establishment), to guarantee system security and stability over the long term and to enable the optimization of our website, as well as for internal statistical purposes.

 

We collect, store and process personal data exclusively in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions and only insofar as this is necessary and necessary to fulfill the contractual performance obligations between us and the user. This also includes the storage of data for possible warranty claims after the fulfillment of a contract.

 

In addition, we may use your data within the framework of applicable law for our own marketing purposes in order to optimize our range of services, to meet your needs with us even more conveniently and individually and to draw your attention to services and products in which you may be particularly interested.

 

In addition, personal data will only be processed if you have given your consent and not revoked it.

 

Legal basis for the processing

We process your personal data primarily to fulfill contractual obligations as well as to fulfill legal obligations imposed on us. In addition, by accepting this data protection declaration, you are giving your consent for all processing operations mentioned in this data protection declaration. You can of course revoke your consent at any time; a corresponding declaration to info@belesta.ch is sufficient for this. However, the processing operations carried out up to this point in time will not be affected by your revocation.

 

In addition to the afore-mentioned legal basis for data processing, we also process data on the basis of legitimate interests on our part. This applies in particular, but not only, to processing operations for marketing and advertising purposes. We may pursue the following interests:

 

• own marketing purposes

• Ensuring that the website can be used

• Fraud Prevention

• Ensuring the security and stability of IT systems

• internal statistical purposes
   

Transfer of data

We only pass on your personal data if you have given your express consent, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims from the contractual relationship. In addition, we only pass on your data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of a contract. These service providers use your data exclusively for order processing and not for other purposes. Belesta is entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties abroad if this is necessary to process a contract. They are committed to data protection to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland, we contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland at all times.
 

Duration of retention

We keep your personal data for as long as we consider necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws or for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. We delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer needed and in any case after the statutory maximum retention period has expired. You can request the deletion of your personal data yourself at any time by sending us a request to info@belesta.ch. We will comply with your request immediately, unless we are obliged to keep it for other reasons or need it to enforce claims.

 

User rights

Right of withdrawal

If you have given us your consent to the processing of personal data while using the website, you can revoke this consent at any time. The revocation can be sent by e-mail or in writing to the contact points mentioned under Responsible Body. The effects of the revocation are limited to the processing of personal data that may not already be processed without your consent due to legal permissions. The revocation also has no effect on the previous processing operations that were carried out before the revocation.

 

Further rights

a) information

Upon written request, we will provide you with information at any time about which personal data we have stored about you. The request for information must be made in writing and with proof of identity (copy of ID, passport or other official identification document). The exercise of this right is free of charge once a year; we reserve the right to request an expense allowance for every further request.

 

b) Correction, deletion, restriction of processing

You also have the option of having your personal data corrected, blocked or deleted by us at any time. For this purpose, please contact the office named under Responsible Body. Only data that we need to process outstanding tasks or to enforce existing rights and claims is excluded from deletion, as well as data that we have to keep due to legal regulations. However, such data will be blocked for processes other than those mentioned.

 

c) Right to complain

We attach great importance to the protection of the rights of our customers and thus also to the protection of your personal data. Should you nevertheless be of the opinion that we are processing your data unlawfully, you can contact us at any time by e-mail at info@belesta.ch. We will take care of your concerns to the best of our knowledge and belief.

 

If, contrary to expectations, our data protection officer is unable to provide you with satisfactory assistance, there is the option of submitting your request to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner in the form of a formal complaint.

 

d) data portability

Upon written request, you also have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, common, machine-readable format for the purpose of transmission to a third party. We reserve the right to demand compensation for this.

 

Safety measures

We use technical and organizational security measures to adequately protect your personal data against unauthorized access, misuse, accidental or intentional manipulation, loss or destruction. Technical security measures to protect your personal data are regularly checked and, if necessary, adapted to the state of the art.
