Disclosure of Personal Data Abroad
Personal data collected within the scope of EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH’s activities is generally not disclosed to third parties. However, for the fulfillment of business orders, it is possible that your data may be forwarded to third parties due to technical processing necessities or legal regulations. Your data will be forwarded in accordance with the provisions of the FADP. Furthermore, we inform you that EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH may obtain information about you from third parties within the scope of its business activities and to fulfill legal obligations. EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH only transfers your personal data to countries for which the Federal Council certifies an adequate level of data protection. If EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH transfers your personal data to countries that do not have a certified adequate level of data protection, EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH implements measures to ensure the protection of your data by contracting with recipients in these states under standard contractual clauses.
Protection of Personal Data
EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH takes appropriate technical and organizational measures regarding both data processing and data storage, as well as its online presence, to protect all data against loss, unauthorized access, or misuse. Regardless of the measures taken to protect data, you must be aware that data transmission via the internet – this applies to both websites and email services – occurs in an uncontrolled and cross-border manner. Even if the sender and recipient are in the same country, cross-border data transmission may occur. EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH therefore cannot guarantee the confidential treatment of data transmitted via the internet. If you disclose personal data via the internet, you must be aware that third parties may access this information, read, alter, falsify, monitor, destroy, or misuse the data. Data transmission may also be delayed. Furthermore, data may be lost during transmission. Moreover, third parties could draw conclusions about existing business relationships. Therefore, EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH cannot assume responsibility for the security of your data during transmission via the internet and disclaims all liability for direct and indirect damages.
Retention of Personal Data
The systems of EDELWIIS Holzmöbel GmbH required for data processing are located in Switzerland. The data transmitted by you will be stored for as long as operationally necessary or legally required.
