Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to operate the online store and provide its functions. Cookies may also be used to remember preferences, analyse Site usage and, where activated, support marketing activities.
We use Consentmo GDPR Compliance to manage privacy and cookie preferences on the Site.
Depending on your location and the applicable legal requirements, you may be asked for consent before certain non-essential cookies or tracking technologies are activated.
Where a cookie preference tool is displayed, you can use it to manage or withdraw your choices.
Necessary cookies may be used without consent where they are required to provide the Site or a service explicitly requested by you.

Our Shopify configuration may include integrations with platforms such as Google or Meta. Such integrations are only used for analytics or advertising purposes where they have been activated and where the applicable privacy and consent requirements are met.

Service providers receive personal data only to the extent necessary for the respective purpose, subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.
12. International Data Transfers
Some of our service providers and business partners are located outside Switzerland or may process personal data in other countries.
This includes, in particular, international technology providers used to operate the Site.
Where personal data is transferred to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection, appropriate safeguards are used where required by applicable law, such as contractual data protection clauses or other recognised transfer mechanisms.
Shopify states that data from customers in Switzerland and the EEA is initially processed by Shopify International Limited in Ireland and may subsequently be transferred to Shopify entities and service providers in other countries. Shopify uses mechanisms including Binding Corporate Rules and contractual safeguards for applicable international transfers.
13. Data Retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with applicable legal, accounting and regulatory requirements.
In particular, information relating to orders, payments and invoices may need to be retained after completion of an order in order to comply with statutory record-keeping obligations.
Marketing data is generally retained until you withdraw your consent, unsubscribe or the information is no longer required for the relevant marketing purpose, subject to applicable legal requirements.
14. Data Security
We and our service providers use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission or electronic storage can provide absolute security.
