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

3.2 Under what conditions do we process your data?

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

If, by way of exception, we are unable to comply with these principles, the data processing may nevertheless be lawful because a legal justification exists. Grounds for justification include in particular:

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

3.3 How can you withdraw your consent?

If you have granted us 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 basis.

You have the option to withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address stated in the Legal Notice (Impressum). Any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected.

3.4 In what cases may we disclose your data to third parties?

a. General Principle

Under certain circumstances, we may rely on the services of third parties or affiliated companies and engage them to process your data (known as processors). Categories of recipients include, in particular:

  • Accounting, fiduciary, and auditing firms;
  • Consulting firms (legal advice, tax, etc.);
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, web 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 public authorities.

b. Visits to Our Social Media Channels

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

In this case, the social media providers learn that you are accessing their platform from our website. The social media providers can use the data collected in this way for their own purposes. Please note that we do not obtain knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the platform operators.

c. Transfer Abroad

Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad in the context of order processing. These companies are committed to data protection to the same extent as we are. The transfer may take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we perform a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (for example, by means of the new Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission or other legally mandated measures). Should our risk assessment be negative, we take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission at 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 is 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 analysis and tracking data, which may be stored for longer periods.

We store contractual data for a longer duration, as we are required to do so by statutory regulations. In particular, we must retain business communications, executed contracts, and accounting records for up to 10 years. Insofar as we no longer require such data from you to perform our services, the data will be restricted and used solely for accounting and tax purposes.

3.6 How do we protect your data?

We will store your data securely and take all reasonable measures to protect your data from loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.

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

Within our website, we use the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption 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. Please send your request for access, accompanied by proof of identity, to info@maler-rothe.ch.

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

  • You have granted your consent for the processing of this data; or
  • You have provided data in connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract.

We may restrict or refuse to provide access or release data if this conflicts with our legal obligations, our own legitimate interests, 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 a high volume of requests, for legal or technical reasons, or because we require further details from you. You will be informed of any extension of the deadline in good time, at least in text form.

b. Erasure and Rectification

You have the right to request the erasure or rectification of your data at any time. We may deny the request if statutory regulations require us to retain the data for a longer period or unchanged, or if a statutory exception prevents your request.

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

c. Legal Recourse

If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights through legal proceedings or to lodge a report with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC): https://www.edoeb.admin.ch

4.2 Adobe Fonts

Adobe Fonts is a service provided by Adobe Systems Incorporated, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110-2704, USA. Adobe Fonts is an online service that enables users to integrate high-quality fonts into their websites.

We use Adobe Fonts to embed specific fonts into our website. This enables us to maintain a consistent and appealing design that contributes to improving the user experience.

To deliver the fonts, Adobe Fonts may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information such as the visitor’s IP address, browser type and version, and other details concerning the visit to the website.



4.3 Google Fonts API

On our website, we use the Google Fonts API, a service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”), to embed fonts. By embedding these fonts, your browser will establish a connection to Google’s servers when you visit our website in order to download and display the fonts correctly.

Through this connection, data—in particular your IP address and information about the browser you are using—may be transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers. These servers may be located in the United States or other countries.

If you wish to prevent the transmission of data in connection with the Google Fonts API, you can block access to the domain fonts.googleapis.com in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, our website may not be displayed correctly.

We use the service “Complianz” on our website, provided by Really Simple Plugins, Keizersgracht 221, 1016 DV Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Complianz is a tool that assists us in generating privacy-compliant cookie notices and obtaining user consent for the use of cookies and other tracking technologies in accordance with statutory requirements.

4.5 WordPress

Our website is based on the WordPress platform, a content management system developed by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. WordPress enables us to create, manage, and publish content.

When you use our website, which is built on WordPress, various data—including your IP address, the date and time of access, as well as information about the browser you use—may be collected and stored. This data is primarily used for administrative purposes and to ensure the seamless operation of the website.

Some WordPress features, such as comments or contact forms, may collect additional personal data when you use them.



4.6 Google reCAPTCHA

To protect against unwanted requests via the web form on our website, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). This check serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human being or improperly through automated, mechanical processing. As part of this query, information such as your IP address or behavior while filling out the form may be transmitted to Google.

For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and processed further there. By using reCAPTCHA, you agree that the recognition you provide will be incorporated into the digitization of archival works. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data.
