Information on Data Protection

We are very pleased about your interest in our Swiss company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Malort im Dörfli. As a rule, the website of Malort im Dörfli can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

The processing of personal data — such as a person’s name, address, email address, or telephone number — is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the country‑specific data protection regulations applicable to Malort im Dörfli. With this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights.

As the controller responsible for processing, Malort im Dörfli has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet‑based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

Definitions

The privacy policy of Malort im Dörfli is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the GDPR. Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use, among others, the following terms in this privacy policy:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means — such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, alignment, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using such data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person — in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures ensuring that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller

The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

h) Processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not they are a third party.

j) Third party

A third party is any natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and persons who are authorized to process personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Cookies

The website of Malort im Dörfli uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so‑called cookie ID — a unique identifier consisting of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific internet browser in which it was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified via its unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Malort im Dörfli can provide users of this website with more user‑friendly services that would not be possible without cookie placement. Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of users. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make the use of our website easier for users.

For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re‑enter their login data each time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used, thereby permanently objecting to the placement of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the placement of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Collection of General Data and Information

Each time the website of Malort im Dörfli is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a series of general data and information is collected and stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be collected:

browser types and versions used
the operating system used by the accessing system
the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (referrer)
the sub‑pages accessed on our website
the date and time of access
an internet protocol address (IP address)
the internet service provider of the accessing system
other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our IT systems

When using this general data and information, Malort im Dörfli does not draw conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to:

correctly deliver the content of our website
optimize the content of our website and its advertising
ensure the long‑term functionality of our IT systems and website technology
provide law enforcement authorities with necessary information in the event of a cyberattack

These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Subscription to Our Newsletter

The website of Malort im Dörfli offers users the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller when subscribing to the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

Malort im Dörfli informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals about company offers via a newsletter. The newsletter can only be received by the data subject if:

the data subject has a valid email address, and
the data subject registers for the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by the data subject for the first time for newsletter delivery, using the double opt‑in procedure. This confirmation email verifies whether the owner of the email address has authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to trace any potential misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later time and serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected during newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Subscribers may also be informed by email if necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or registration — for example, in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or technical adjustments.

There is no transfer of personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data provided for newsletter delivery can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link for revocation can be found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe directly on the controller’s website or to notify the controller in another way.

Newsletter Tracking

The newsletters of Malort im Dörfli contain so‑called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns.

Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Malort im Dörfli can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the email were accessed. Personal data collected via tracking pixels in newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller to optimize newsletter delivery and better tailor future newsletter content to the interests of the data subject.

These personal data are not transferred to third parties. Data subjects may revoke their separate consent given via the double opt‑in procedure at any time. After revocation, these personal data are deleted. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted as revocation.

Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is permitted by the European legislator or another competent legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to Confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

b) Right of Access

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information from the controller about the personal data stored concerning them, as well as a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

the purposes of processing
the categories of personal data processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, especially recipients in third countries or international organizations
if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that duration
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: any available information about the source of the data
the existence of automated decision‑making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR, and — at least in these cases — meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

c) Right to Rectification

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject also has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request that the controller erase personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as processing is not required:

The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of personal data is required to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Malort im Dörfli, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee will ensure that the request for erasure is complied with immediately.

If Malort im Dörfli has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Malort im Dörfli — taking into account available technology and implementation costs — will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to, copies of, or replications of this personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The employee of Malort im Dörfli will take the necessary steps in each individual case.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data, and requests the restriction of its use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Malort im Dörfli, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.

i) Right to Withdraw Consent

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of their personal data at any time. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may contact any employee of Malort im Dörfli at any time.

Data Protection for Applications and Application Procedures

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically — for example, by email or via an online form on the website.

If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose deletion. A legitimate interest in this sense may include the need to retain evidence in proceedings under the Equal Treatment Act.

Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party — for example, processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service — the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre‑contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data — such as fulfilling tax obligations — the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Processing would then be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the above legal grounds, if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override that interest. Such processing operations are permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 GDPR).

Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well‑being of all our employees and shareholders.

Duration for Which Personal Data Is Stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the retention period expires, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

Provision of Personal Data as a Statutory or Contractual Requirement

The provision of personal data may be required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual obligations (e.g., information necessary for concluding a contract). Sometimes, a data subject may be required to provide personal data to us, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them.

Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact an employee. The employee will clarify whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, or necessary for concluding the contract, and whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, as well as the consequences of not providing personal data.

Existence of Automated Decision‑Making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision‑making or profiling.

f) Right to Data Portability

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine‑readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means — provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of Malort im Dörfli at any time.

g) Right to Object

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, at any time and for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Malort im Dörfli will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If Malort im Dörfli processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, Malort im Dörfli will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

Additionally, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Malort im Dörfli directly. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services — notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC — by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated Decision‑Making in Individual Cases, Including Profiling

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision:

is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller,
is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Malort im Dörfli will implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests — including at least the right to obtain human intervention from the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

If a data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision‑making, they may contact any employee of Malort im Dörfli at any time.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Data Protection for Applications and Application Procedures

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits application documents electronically — for example, by email or via an online form on the website.

If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose deletion. A legitimate interest may include retaining evidence in proceedings under the Equal Treatment Act.

Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party — for example, processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service — the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre‑contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data — such as fulfilling tax obligations — the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

Duration for Which Personal Data Is Stored

Provision of Personal Data as a Statutory or Contractual Requirement

For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact an employee. The employee will clarify whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, or necessary for concluding the contract, and whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, as well as the consequences of not providing personal data.

Existence of Automated Decision‑Making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision‑making or profiling.
