All personal data is treated confidentially. Our privacy policy with detailed information on the handling of your personal data, its protection and your rights in this regard can be found here: Privacy policy We are delighted that you are interested in our Swiss family business. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the BRINGHEN Group. The BRINGHEN Group is the operator of the website www.bringhen.ch including all subdomains and the services offered on it and is therefore responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data and the compliance of the data processing with the applicable data protection law. The BRINGHEN Group website can generally be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.your trust is important to us, which is why we take the issue of data protection seriously and pay attention to appropriate security. It goes without saying that we comply with the statutory provisions. Our privacy policy is based on the terminology of the laws and regulations mentioned under point 1 d). Please take note of the following information so that you know what personal data we collect from you and for what purposes we use it. 1 General provisions a) Name and address of the controller The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is: BRINGHEN Group / BRINGHEN AG Kantonsstrasse 32 3930 Visp Switzerland Tel.+41 (0)27 948 84 11 E-mail: datenschutz@bringhen.ch Website: www.bringhen.ch b) Disclosure of data to third parties We only disclose your personal data if you have expressly consented to this, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship. In addition, we pass on your data to third parties insofar as this is necessary in the context of using the website and processing the contract (including outside the website), in particular processing your bookings. This includes the respective transport service provider entrusted with the shipment of ordered goods. A service provider to whom the personal data collected via the website is passed on or who has or may have access to it is our web host Arcmedia AG, Winkelriedstrasse 37, 6003 Lucerne (CH). The website is hosted on servers in Switzerland. The data is passed on for the purpose of providing and maintaining the functionalities of our website. This is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If we make advance payments, e.g. in the case of a purchase on account, we may obtain credit information from a credit agency on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures in order to safeguard our legitimate interests. For this purpose, we transmit the personal data required for a credit check to the credit agency Intrum AG, Winkelriedstrasse 37, 6003 Lucerne (CH) and use the information received on the statistical probability of a payment default for a balanced decision on the establishment, execution or termination of the contractual relationship. The credit report may contain probability values (score values) that have been calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical and statistical procedures and whose calculation includes address data. Your interests worthy of protection are taken into account in accordance with the statutory provisions. The purposes described above constitute our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Finally, we forward your credit card information to your credit card issuer and the credit card acquirer when you pay by credit card on the website. If you decide to pay by credit card, you will be asked to enter all mandatory information. The legal basis for passing on the data is the fulfillment of a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR. With regard to the processing of your credit card information by these third parties, please also read the General Terms and Conditions and the privacy policy of your credit card issuer. c) Transfer of data abroad We are also entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties (contracted service providers) abroad for the purposes of the data processing described in this privacy policy. These companies are obliged to protect data to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or the EU, we contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or the EU at all times.
d) Legal basis for processing The statutory provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (OFADP), the Telecommunications Act (TCA) and other applicable data protection provisions of Swiss or EU law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), serve our company 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, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order 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 in our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the 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 prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR). 2. types of data collection a) Cookies Cookies help in many ways to make your visit to our website easier, more pleasant and more meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically stores on your computer's hard drive when you visit our website. We use cookies, for example, to offer you the shopping cart function across several pages and to temporarily store your entries when you fill out a form on the website so that you do not have to repeat the entry when you call up another subpage. Cookies may also be used to identify you as a registered user after you have registered on the website without you having to log in again when you access another subpage. Most Internet browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a message always appears when you receive a new cookie. If you deactivate cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website. b) Accessing our website The BRINGHEN Group websites collect a range of general data and information each time the website or an automated system is accessed. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the BRINGHEN Group does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the BRINGHEN Group analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. When you visit our website, our servers temporarily store every access in a log file. As with every connection to a web server, the following technical data is recorded without your intervention and stored by us until it is deleted after 6 months at the latest: the IP address of the requesting computer, the date and time of access, the website from which the access was made (referrer URL), including the search term used if applicable, the name and URL of the file accessed, the status code (e.g. error message), the operating system of your computer, the browser you use (type, version and language), the transmission protocol used (e.g. HTTP/1.1) and, if applicable, your user name from a registration/authentication The collection and processing of this data is carried out for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (connection establishment), to ensure system security and stability in the long term and to enable the optimization of our Internet offer as well as for internal statistical purposes. This is our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. c) Opening a customer account c.1 Online orders To place orders in the online store, you can order as a guest or open a customer account. When ordering as a guest and registering for a customer account, we collect the following data: Salutation/title First and last name Postal address Date of birth Telephone/mobile country Payment details (depending on the selected payment method) E-mail address Password (only for customer account registration, encrypted) The data is collected for the purpose of providing the customer with password-protected direct access to their basic data stored by us. The customer can view his completed and open orders or manage or change his personal data. The legal basis for processing the data for this purpose is the consent you have given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. c.2 Other orders If you place an order in person, by telephone or by email, we require the following data to process the contract: Salutation / title First name and surname Billing address (and delivery address if different) Payment details Telephone / mobile Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy or you have not separately consented to this, we will process the following data. Unless you have consented to this separately, we will only use the aforementioned data to process the contract, namely to process your orders, deliver the ordered products and ensure correct payment. The legal basis for data processing for this purpose is the performance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR. d) Registration on our website You have the option of registering on the BRINGHEN Group website and the subdomains of the individual locations by providing personal data. The personal data that is transmitted to the BRINGHEN Group is determined by the input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use and for our own purposes. The BRINGHEN Group may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the BRINGHEN Group. When you register on our website, the IP address assigned to you by your Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration will also be stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate criminal offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our security. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on of the data serves the purpose of criminal prosecution. Your registration with voluntary provision of personal data serves the BRINGHEN Group to offer content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the BRINGHEN Group's database. The BRINGHEN Group will provide you with information about which personal data is stored about you at any time on request. Furthermore, the BRINGHEN Group will correct or delete personal data at your request or notice, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. All BRINGHEN Group employees are available to you as contact persons in this context. e) Subscription to our newsletter On the BRINGHEN Group website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted to the BRINGHEN Group when the newsletter is ordered. The BRINGHEN Group informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. Our company's newsletter can only be received by you if (1) you have a valid e-mail address and (2) you have registered to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of 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 in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves to legally safeguard the BRINGHEN Group. The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the BRINGHEN Group website or to inform the BRINGHEN Group of this in another way. f) Newsletter tracking The BRINGHEN Group newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, the BRINGHEN Group can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the BRINGHEN Group in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the BRINGHEN Group. The BRINGHEN Group automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation. g) Contact possibility via the website Due to legal regulations, the website of the BRINGHEN Group contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted by you on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. h) Applications and application procedures The BRINGHEN Group collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents to the BRINGHEN Group electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the BRINGHEN Group concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded between the BRINGHEN Group and the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted four months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that the advertised position concerned has been filled and deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the BRINGHEN Group. If no legitimate interests prevent the deletion of the data, the application data will in any case be deleted one year after receipt of the application documents. 3. special data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook The BRINGHEN Group has integrated components of the company Facebook on its website. Facebook is a social network. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the BRINGHEN Group and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. If you are logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject-and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site-which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to your Facebook account by Facebook. If you click on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if you enter a comment, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data. Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether you click on the Facebook component or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, you can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of your Facebook account before accessing our website. 4. data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function) The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc, a company of the holding company Alphabet Inc, based in the USA. Before the data is transmitted to the provider, the IP address is shortened by activating IP anonymization ("anonymizeIP") on this website within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. In these cases, we use contractual guarantees to ensure that Google Inc. complies with an adequate level of data protection. According to Google Inc., under no circumstances will the IP address be associated with other data relating to the user. Further information about the web analysis service used can be found on the Google Analytics website. You can find instructions on how to prevent the processing of your data by the web analysis service at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. 5. Right to confirmation, information, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing; right to data portability; right to withdraw consent under data protection law You have the right to request information about the personal data that we store about you. In addition, you have the right to rectification of incorrect data and the right to erasure of your personal data, insofar as this does not conflict with a statutory retention obligation or a permission that allows us to process the data. You also have the right to request that we return the data that you have provided to us (right to data portability). On request, we will also forward the data to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a commonly used file format. You can contact us for the aforementioned purposes via the e-mail address datenschutz@bringhen.ch. We may, at our discretion, request proof of identity in order to process your requests. Furthermore, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you wish to withdraw your consent, you can contact an employee of the BRINGHEN Group at any time. 6. final provisions a) Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders. b) Storage of data We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to use the above-mentioned tracking and analysis services and other processing within the scope of our legitimate interest. We store contractual data for longer, as this is required by statutory retention obligations. Retention obligations that oblige us to retain data arise from accounting and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communication, concluded contracts and accounting documents must be stored for up to 10 years. If we no longer need this data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and tax purposes. c) Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the 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 one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided. d) Automated decision-making As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling. e) Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority at any time. 7. Video surveillance The Bringhen Group, Kantonsstrasse 32, 3930 Visp, informs you that the personal data contained in the recordings of the video surveillance system of our sites are processed in order to ensure the protection of persons and property against possible attacks, theft, robbery, damage, vandalism and also for the purpose of fire protection, safety in the workplace and to pursue our legitimate interests by collecting evidence and for organizational requirements.
The images collected will not be used for the purpose of monitoring the activities carried out by employees, except for the detection of unlawful or fraudulent conduct punishable by criminal sanctions. The data will only be processed electronically by authorized employees of the Bringhen Group and for organizational requirements by employees of the Bringhen Group expressly designated in writing. The data will only be kept for as long as the purpose requires and then deleted. Deletion takes place at the latest when the purpose of preserving evidence has been achieved. The monitored areas are marked accordingly with signs and brief notices. The personal rights of data subjects provided for in the data protection laws apply. For example, it is possible at any time to request which data is collected and how it is used, to request its deletion or to object to processing on legitimate grounds by submitting a written request to the data controller: info@bringhen.ch You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC): Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, CH-3003 Bern, phone: +41 (0)58 462 43 95
d) Legal basis for processing The statutory provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (OFADP), the Telecommunications Act (TCA) and other applicable data protection provisions of Swiss or EU law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), serve our company 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, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order 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 in our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the 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 prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR). 2. types of data collection a) Cookies Cookies help in many ways to make your visit to our website easier, more pleasant and more meaningful.

This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the BRINGHEN Group. The BRINGHEN Group automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation. g) Contact possibility via the website Due to legal regulations, the website of the BRINGHEN Group contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted by you on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. h) Applications and application procedures The BRINGHEN Group collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents to the BRINGHEN Group electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the BRINGHEN Group concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded between the BRINGHEN Group and the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted four months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that the advertised position concerned has been filled and deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the BRINGHEN Group. If no legitimate interests prevent the deletion of the data, the application data will in any case be deleted one year after receipt of the application documents. 3. special data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook The BRINGHEN Group has integrated components of the company Facebook on its website. Facebook is a social network. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the BRINGHEN Group and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. If you are logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject-and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site-which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to your Facebook account by Facebook. If you click on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if you enter a comment, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data. Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether you click on the Facebook component or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, you can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of your Facebook account before accessing our website. 4. data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function) The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc, a company of the holding company Alphabet Inc, based in the USA. Before the data is transmitted to the provider, the IP address is shortened by activating IP anonymization ("anonymizeIP") on this website within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. In these cases, we use contractual guarantees to ensure that Google Inc. complies with an adequate level of data protection. According to Google Inc., under no circumstances will the IP address be associated with other data relating to the user. Further information about the web analysis service used can be found on the Google Analytics website. You can find instructions on how to prevent the processing of your data by the web analysis service at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. 5. Right to confirmation, information, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing; right to data portability; right to withdraw consent under data protection law You have the right to request information about the personal data that we store about you. In addition, you have the right to rectification of incorrect data and the right to erasure of your personal data, insofar as this does not conflict with a statutory retention obligation or a permission that allows us to process the data. You also have the right to request that we return the data that you have provided to us (right to data portability). On request, we will also forward the data to a third party of your choice. You have the right to receive the data in a commonly used file format. You can contact us for the aforementioned purposes via the e-mail address datenschutz@bringhen.ch. We may, at our discretion, request proof of identity in order to process your requests. Furthermore, you have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you wish to withdraw your consent, you can contact an employee of the BRINGHEN Group at any time. 6. final provisions a) Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders. b) Storage of data We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to use the above-mentioned tracking and analysis services and other processing within the scope of our legitimate interest. We store contractual data for longer, as this is required by statutory retention obligations. Retention obligations that oblige us to retain data arise from accounting and tax regulations. According to these regulations, business communication, concluded contracts and accounting documents must be stored for up to 10 years. If we no longer need this data to perform the services for you, the data will be blocked. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and tax purposes. c) Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the 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 one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided. d) Automated decision-making As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling. e) Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority at any time. 7. Video surveillance The Bringhen Group, Kantonsstrasse 32, 3930 Visp, informs you that the personal data contained in the recordings of the video surveillance system of our sites are processed in order to ensure the protection of persons and property against possible attacks, theft, robbery, damage, vandalism and also for the purpose of fire protection, safety in the workplace and to pursue our legitimate interests by collecting evidence and for organizational requirements.
The images collected will not be used for the purpose of monitoring the activities carried out by employees, except for the detection of unlawful or fraudulent conduct punishable by criminal sanctions. The data will only be processed electronically by authorized employees of the Bringhen Group and for organizational requirements by employees of the Bringhen Group expressly designated in writing. The data will only be kept for as long as the purpose requires and then deleted. Deletion takes place at the latest when the purpose of preserving evidence has been achieved. The monitored areas are marked accordingly with signs and brief notices. The personal rights of data subjects provided for in the data protection laws apply. For example, it is possible at any time to request which data is collected and how it is used, to request its deletion or to object to processing on legitimate grounds by submitting a written request to the data controller: info@bringhen.ch You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC): Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, CH-3003 Bern, phone: +41 (0)58 462 43 95
