3. General Principles

3.1 What Data Do We Collect from You and from whom Do We Receive this Data

Primarily, we process personal data that you transmit to us or that we collect during the operation of our website. Under certain circumstances, we may also receive personal data about you from third parties. These may include the following categories:

  • Master data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
  • Contact data (mobile number, email address, etc.);
  • Financial data (e.g., account details);
  • Online identifiers (e.g., cookie ID, IP addresses);
  • Location and traffic data;
  • Audio and video recordings;
  • Particularly sensitive data (e.g., biometric data or information about your health).

 

3.2 under What Conditions Do We Process your Data?

We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We ensure transparent and proportionate processing.

If, exceptionally, we are unable to adhere to these principles, data processing may still be lawful if there is a legal justification. Possible legal justifications include:

  • Your consent;
  • the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
  • our legitimate interests, provided your interests do not override them.

 

3.3 how Can You Withdraw your Consent?

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent, unless we have another legal justification.

You have the option to withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address provided in the imprint. Data processing that has already taken place will not be affected by this.

 

3.4 in which Cases Can We Disclose your Data to Third Parties?

 

a. Principle

Under certain circumstances, we may need to use the services of third parties or affiliated companies and entrust them with the processing of your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients include:

  • Accounting, fiduciary, and auditing firms;
  • Consulting firms (legal advice, taxes, etc.);
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);
  • Payment service providers;
  • Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services.

 

We ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.

Under certain circumstances, we may also be required to disclose your personal data to authorities.

 

b. Visiting our social media channels

We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This is visible to you (typically via corresponding icons). If you click on the icons, you will be redirected to our social media channels.

In this case, the social media providers will know that you are accessing their platform from our website. The social media providers may use the data collected in this way for their own purposes. We point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the operators.

 

c. Data transfer abroad

Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are obliged to protect data to the same extent as we are. The transfer can take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not correspond to that in Switzerland, we conduct a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (e.g., by means of the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). Should our risk assessment be negative, we will take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission via the following link. https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de

 

3.5 how Long Do We Retain your Data?

We store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the individual purposes for which the data was collected.

Data that we store during your visit to our website is retained for twelve months. An exception applies to analytics and tracking data, which may be retained longer.

We store contract data longer because we are obliged to do so by legal regulations. In particular, we must retain business communications, concluded contracts, and booking documents for up to 10 years. If we no longer require such data from you for the provision of services, the data will be blocked, and we will only use it for accounting and tax purposes.

 

3.6 how Do We Protect your Data?

We will keep your data secure and take all reasonable measures to protect your data from loss, access, misuse, or alteration.

Our contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obliged to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it will be necessary for us to forward your inquiries to affiliated companies. In these cases, too, your data will be treated confidentially.

Within our website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser.

 

3.7 What Rights Do You Have?

 

a. Right of access

You can request information about the data we store about you at any time. We ask you to send your request for information along with proof of identity to info@tieztes-catering.ch.

You also have the right to receive your data in a common file format if we process your data automatically, and if:

  • You have given your consent for the processing of this data; or
  • You have disclosed data in connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract.

We may restrict or refuse access to information or data disclosure if this conflicts with our legal obligations, legitimate own or public interests, or the interests of a third party.

The processing of your request is subject to the statutory processing period of 30 days. However, we may extend this period due to high request volumes, legal or technical reasons, or because we require further information from you. You will be informed of the extension of the deadline in good time, at least in text form.

 

b. Deletion and Rectification

 

You have the option to request the deletion or rectification of your data at any time. We may reject the request if legal regulations oblige us to retain the data for a longer period or unchanged, or if a permissible circumstance conflicts with your request.

Please note that exercising your rights may, under certain circumstances, conflict with contractual agreements and may have corresponding effects on contract execution (e.g., premature termination of contract or cost implications).

 

c. Legal recourse

If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch

Google AdSense uses cookies to analyze website usage by visitors. In addition, Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this offering.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including users’ IP addresses) and the delivery of ad formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on by Google to Google’s contractual partners. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of our website.

4.4 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

On our website, we use the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, within this framework, Conversion Tracking (visitor action evaluation). Google Ads Conversion Tracking is an analytics service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set on your device. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain personal data, and therefore do not serve for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page.

The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
