Name of the company: Satis Products GmbH

General / Introduction

Satis Products GmbH would like to inform you about the handling of your personal data with these privacy notices, in light of the completely revised Data Protection Act (DSG) and the implementing provisions in the new Data Protection Regulation (DSV). Although it is an EU regulation, the GDPR is relevant for Satis Products GmbH for various reasons: Swiss data protection law has historically been closely tied to EU regulation, Swiss data protection law is strongly influenced by the GDPR, and finally, the GDPR imposes high data protection standards with extraterritorial effect, meaning companies outside the EU are bound by these regulations under certain conditions. For this reason, the terminology of the GDPR will also be used below.

We reserve the right to change the content of this privacy notice, especially if we provide new or modified services, or if changes in laws or jurisprudence make an adjustment necessary or sensible, provided that the change is reasonable for the user, taking into account the legitimate interests of Satis Products GmbH.

Scope

We process personal data that we receive from our customers in the course of our business relationship. Additionally, we process, as necessary for the provision of our services, personal data that we lawfully obtain from publicly available sources (e.g., commercial registers, websites). We use the personal data exclusively, without further consent, to enable the use of the services we offer, as well as to fulfill and process inquiries, registrations, and orders.

Relevant personal data includes specific details about the personal or material circumstances of a particular or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as first and last name, complete address, phone number, and mobile number.

Further personal data is only collected, processed, and used with your consent when these details are provided voluntarily, such as in an inquiry, search request, or for the creation, structuring, or modification of an order, and for billing purposes, and if these details are necessary for answering or processing the request.

Forwarding

Personal data may be transferred to third parties in accordance with the requirements of Art. 6 DSG (and Art. 6 GDPR), particularly when the recipients process the personal data on our behalf (Art. 9 DSG, Art. 28 GDPR), or if this is necessary for the fulfillment of our legitimate interests, e.g., for internal administrative purposes within our corporate group, or to fulfill contractual or legal obligations, or based on your consent. Transfers abroad are carried out under the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 16 and 17 DSG (Art. 44ff GDPR).

We share information with these affiliated companies to assist us in providing our products and managing our internal operations. By leveraging this broad expertise, we are able to offer you the best possible support and service.

Service Partners Involved in Contract Execution

We may transmit the collected data to the service partners involved in the execution of the contract, to the extent necessary, who assist us in fulfilling the contract, as long as the purpose of the data remains intact. However, data will only be shared to the prescribed and absolutely necessary extent.

Use of Data for Own Consulting and Advertising Purposes

We are permitted to collect, process, and use your personal data for the purposes of our own consulting and advertising, particularly for tailoring the services we offer to your needs.

Furthermore, we treat the data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection laws. We will not disclose this data or the content of your messages to third parties without your consent unless the disclosure is expressly agreed upon for the stated purposes or is required or permitted by law.

This prohibition on data sharing does not apply if we are required by the relevant authorities to provide information to third parties, especially government agencies, in individual cases, where this is necessary for law enforcement or to enforce intellectual property rights, or due to other applicable legal provisions. No further consent is required for this.

Internet Payment Systems

Please note that in addition to the online payment service PayPal, which is based in San Jose, USA, and Luxembourg, other internet payment systems may also be offered, whose operators may be based outside of Switzerland. These companies store the data relevant to the payment of the ordering user on servers, possibly outside of Switzerland. We have no influence on this. The use of these payment systems is solely based on your consent.

Data Security

Personal data is transmitted over the internet encrypted when contacting us through our contact form on our website, placing orders, or logging into the customer portal. We secure our website and other systems with technical and organizational measures to protect your data from loss, destruction, unauthorized access, alteration, or dissemination by unauthorized persons.

Anonymous Data Collection

Our websites can be visited without providing personal information. However, every access to our website and every retrieval of files stored there is logged and saved in a file. We automatically collect and store in our server log files only the information transmitted to us by your internet browser. This includes:

  • Browser type/version
  • Operating system used
  • Referring URL (the previously visited website)
  • Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address)
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Name of the file retrieved
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Message about successful retrieval

We cannot associate these data with specific individuals. We do not merge these data with other data sources. Subject to any legal retention obligations, the IP addresses of users are deleted after the session. The temporary storage and statistical evaluation of data that cannot be assigned to specific users serves only to ensure system security and the security of user data (e.g., to detect faulty links, program errors, or attacks on the system).

Inclusion of Third-Party Services and Content

It is possible that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, or RSS feeds, is integrated into our websites. This technically requires that the providers of these contents (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) can detect the user’s IP address because, without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. Therefore, the IP address is essential for the display of these contents.

Access, Correction, Blocking, and Deletion

In accordance with the applicable data protection laws, you have the right to request information about the personal data stored about you, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of storage, and to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of your stored data. If legal, contractual, commercial, or tax retention periods or reasons prevent deletion, your data will be blocked instead of deleted.

Google Maps

This website uses the services of Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and provide you with a convenient use of the map feature. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in, or if no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the design of its website to meet user needs. This evaluation is carried out especially (even for non-logged-in users) to provide personalized advertisements and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right, you must contact Google. Further information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as additional information on your rights and privacy settings, can be found here: https://safety.google/intl/de_ch/privacy/privacy-controls/

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via a Google ad, a cookie is placed on your computer by Google Ads. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad displayed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained via the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page that contains a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used for personal identification of users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can refuse the setting of the necessary cookie — for example, by setting your browser to block cookies automatically, or by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com.”

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not want measurement data to be collected. If you delete all your cookies in the browser, you will need to set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The feature is used to display interest-based ads to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A “cookie” is stored in the visitor’s browser, which allows the visitor to be recognized when visiting websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these websites, ads may be displayed to the visitor related to content the visitor previously accessed on websites using Google’s remarketing feature.

According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing feature, you can disable it by adjusting the appropriate settings here: http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can opt-out of interest-based advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions here: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses Google’s reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland). The query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes transmitting the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further processed there. However, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transferred. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 is not merged with other data from Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the “Privacy Shield.” Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has committed to its requirements. By completing the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on the consent prior to withdrawal. Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the associated privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the person responsible for processing data on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the data processing by Google Analytics is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited will be referred to as “Google” hereinafter.

The statistics obtained help us improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which occurs via a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can disable cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under “My Data”, “Personal Data.”

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in shortened form, so that they cannot be associated with a specific person. If the data collected about you can be assigned to a person, it will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

In exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide further services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. For exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings. However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available here: Disable Google Analytics.

Additionally, you can prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will store an opt-out cookie on your device that prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies from your device, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense on this website. This is an advertising program by Google Inc. In Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google AdSense allows us to display ads on this website that are relevant to our topic.

Google AdSense uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ad repeatedly. Google records which ads are displayed in which browser via a cookie ID, and can prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Additionally, Google AdSense can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad views. This happens, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser’s website using the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain personal information.

By using the marketing tools, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find and store your IP address.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:

  • By adjusting your browser software settings, especially by suppressing third-party cookies, ensuring that you will not receive ads from third parties.
  • By disabling conversion tracking cookies by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com,” here: https://adssettings.google.com, although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies.
  • By deactivating interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads,” via the link: https://www.aboutads.info/choices, though this setting will also be deleted if you delete your cookies.
  • By permanently deactivating in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome via the link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

The legal basis for processing your data is a balancing of interests, where no overriding interests on your part conflict with the processing described above (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR). Further information on Google Ads by Google can be found here: https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/, and regarding Google’s general data protection practices here: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) here: https://www.networkadvertising.org.

Google WebFonts

This website uses web fonts provided by Google to ensure the uniform display of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found here: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
