Data protection

We, sui.polewear GmbH, Sonnenbergstrasse 52, 8603 Schwerzenbach, operate the websitewww.suipolewear.ch and the associated online shop and are the providers of the products offered on the website. As a result, we are considered to be responsible for the collection, use and processing of your data.

 

In the following we will show you whether and how we process your data:

 

1. Data processing, storage, deletion

We only process the personal data that we collect directly via our online shop, the associated applications, via external platforms, via so-called "landing pages" and/or as part of the business relationship with our customers and other business partners. The processing takes place only after consent or if there is a corresponding legal basis.

 

As part of the consent you have given, we only process your data within the limits of this consent, unless one of the following legal bases applies. We expressly point out that you can revoke your consent at any time, although a – lawful – processing action that has already taken place is not affected by the revocation.

 

The following legal bases come into question:

  • consent of the data subject;

  • Fulfillment of the contract with the data subject as a contracting party or necessary pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject;

  • Fulfillment of necessary legal obligations of our company;

  • performing or carrying out a task in the public interest;

  • Legitimate interests of our company, provided that the interests of the person concerned or their fundamental rights do not prevail.

 

The personal data collected will be deleted as soon as we no longer need them for the specified purpose or the purpose of storage no longer applies. On the other hand, storage must take place if the Swiss or European legislator provides for a corresponding obligation. Such obligations exist, among other things, in contract and tax law or can result from the provisions on commercial accounting: business documents, contracts or accounting vouchers are subject to a retention period of 10 years. This data, which also includes personal data, will be blocked if we no longer need it to provide our services. We only use them for accounting and tax purposes.

 

2. Disclosure to Third Parties

In the context of order processing, the use of third-party services may be necessary. It may be necessary to pass on data to these external service providers in order to provide the service in accordance with the contract. The legal bases for disclosure are identical to the legal bases for lawful processing and can be viewed under Section 1. In any case, we contractually ensure that the third parties commissioned to process your data comply with the requirements of data protection. Finally, under certain circumstances, we may also be obliged by official and court orders to release data to third parties or government agencies.

 

3. Provision of our services and creation of log files

Our system automatically collects and stores information in so-called log files as soon as you access our website. It refers to:

The aforementioned data cannot be assigned directly to any person. The data collected and stored in this way are not merged and stored with other personal data, but are in our system. The legal basis for the collection and storage in log files are the legitimate interests of our company.

 

Storage in log files is solely for the functionality of our services. In addition, this supports the optimization of our services and ensures the security of our information technology systems. The log files are automatically deleted after each session.

 

The collection of your data and its storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of our website; there is no possibility of objection.
