  • on the performance of the contract, Article 6(1), first sentence, point (b) GDPR

I Use of information when contacting BEE Medic GmbH

Use of information: when contacting us in writing by mail, e-mail or fax

If you contact BEE Medic GmbH in writing by post, e-mail or fax, the data you provide (e.g.: surname, first name, address, e-mail address, telephone number) as well as the information contained in the message and, if applicable, other personal data provided by you will be used for the purpose of contacting you and processing your request. If you contact us by telephone, as a rule no personal data will be collected, unless this is necessary to process your request (call back, written communication or similar). The processing of data in the ways mentioned here is done voluntarily on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

Use of information: when using contact and registration forms on our website

If you use a contact or registration form on one of our websites, the following personal information marked with an "X" is required as mandatory data for the initial contact. The information marked with "-" will not be requested at the appropriate place:

The information from the respective forms will be used to process your request and your contact data will be stored by us in case of follow-up questions. The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected by this. If, in the case of support requests, we are unable to solve your question by e-mail, we offer you telephone support and, if desired, online support via remote maintenance. This may require further personal data, such as a contact for video conferencing and the use of remote maintenance programs from third parties. These are carefully selected by us and contracts for order data processing have been concluded with them. In all cases, the data is processed with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR and is used exclusively for the fulfilment of the task.

Use of information: Customer and contract data

Within the framework of:

  • orders or bookings
  • the supply of goods
  • the provision of services
  • Payment processing
  • provision of services
  • and processing of support requests

we also collect, process, store and use personal data only to the extent that they are necessary for the establishment, content design or change of the legal relationship (inventory data). Within the scope of this, it may be necessary for us to transmit personal data to third parties, for example to the credit institution commissioned with the handling of payments. Here too, data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, on the basis of consent and for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. A further transmission of the data is not carried out or only if you have expressly agreed to the transmission. 

Note on retention periods

We store your data in compliance with legal retention periods for as long as this is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned above and for the business relationship. Afterwards your data will be deleted within the legal periods.

Note on revocation

In principle, you can revoke your consent to the use of the above-mentioned data at any time. You will find more detailed information on this and on your so-called data subject rights in section IV.

Commercial and business services

We process data of our contractual and business partners, e.g. customers and interested parties (collectively referred to as “contracting partners”) within the framework of contractual and comparable legal relationships as well as related measures and in the context of communication with the contractual partners (or pre-contractual), e.g. in order to answer inquiries.

We process this data in order to fulfil our contractual obligations, to safeguard our rights and for the purposes of the administrative tasks associated with this information as well as for the corporate organisation. We only pass on the data of the contractual partners to third parties within the scope of applicable law to the extent that this is necessary for the aforementioned purposes or for the fulfilment of legal obligations or takes place with the consent of the data subjects (e.g. in involved telecommunications, transport and other auxiliary services as well as subcontractors, banks, tax and legal advisers, payment service providers or tax authorities). The contractual partners will be informed about further forms of processing, e.g. for marketing purposes, in the context of this data protection declaration.

We inform the contracting parties which data are required for the aforementioned purposes before or in the context of data collection, e.g. in online forms, by means of special markings (e.g. colours) or symbols (e.g. asterisks or similar), or personally.

We delete the data after expiration of legal warranty and comparable obligations, i.e., basically after 4 years, unless the data is stored in a customer account, e.g. as long as it has to be kept for legal reasons of archiving (e.g. for tax purposes usually 10 years). We delete data that have been disclosed to us in the context of an order by the contractual partner in accordance with the requirements of the order, in principle after the end of the order.

Insofar as we use third-party providers or platforms to provide our services, the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective third-party providers or platforms shall apply in relation between the users and the providers.

Customer account: Contractual partners can create an account within our online offer (e.g. customer or user account, short “customer account”). If the registration of a customer account is necessary, contractual partners will be informed about this as well as the ones required for registration. Customer accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. As part of the registration as well as subsequent registrations and use of the customer account, we store the IP addresses of the customers in addition to the access times in order to be able to prove the registration and prevent any misuse of the customer account.

If customers have terminated their customer account, the data relating to the customer account will be deleted, subject to their retention is required for legal reasons. It is the customer’s responsibility to secure their data upon termination of the customer account.

 

Shop and e-commerce: We process the data of our customers in order to enable them to select, purchase, or order the selected products, goods and related services, as well as their payment and delivery, or execution. If necessary for the execution of an order, we use service providers, in particular postal, forwarding and shipping companies, to carry out the delivery or execution to our customers. We use the services of banks and payment service providers to process the payment transactions. The required information is marked as such within the scope of the ordering or comparable acquisition process and includes the information required for delivery, or provision and billing, as well as contact information in order to be able to hold any consultation.

• Data types processed: Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices, payment history), contact details (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers), contractual data (e.g. subject of contract, duration, customer category), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

• Persons affected: • Persons affected: Interested parties, business and contractual partners, customers.

• Purposes of processing: Provision of contractual services and customer service, contact requests and communications, office and organisation procedures, administration and response of requests, security measures.

• Legal bases: Performance of the contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b. GDPR), legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c. GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR).

II Collection of personal data when using our websites

Collection of personal data for purely informational use of our websites 
You can visit our websites without giving any personal information. In the case of purely informational use, i.e. if you do not register and do not use any forms, we only collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server and stores in log data, so-called server log files. Without this no website can function. The log files are therefore stored to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimise the website and to ensure the stability and security of the website. The following data is collected:

  • Name of the website accessed
  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Amount of data transmitted and message on successful retrieval
  • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
  • Internet service provider of the user
  • Used operating system of the user
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • Type of browser used, language and version of browser software

Since the collection of this data and storage in log files is necessary in order to operate a website at all, the user has no opportunity to object. The provider uses the log data only for statistical analysis for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently check the protocol data if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete evidence. An evaluation for marketing purposes does not take place. A consolidation of this data with other data sources is not carried out. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Session cookies and permanent cookies

In addition to the data mentioned above, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are assigned to and stored on your hard disk to the browser you are using; and through which certain information flows to the site that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies serve on the one hand to make our offer more user-friendly (e.g. storage of login data, use of a shopping cart etc.), more effective and safer. On the other hand, they serve to record statistical data on website use and to be able to analyse them for the purpose of improving our offer.

We use session cookies on our websites. A session cookie is a temporary cookie and, as the name suggests, is temporary in nature. They contain data such as an identification number (so-called session ID). They allow the server to assign subsequent browser requests to the same user and/or are necessary for the functioning of certain functions. These session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

On the https://www.beemedic.ch website we also use permanent cookies
Permanent cookies are set when you register as a customer on our website. When you create your user account, you will be asked whether you want to save your access data. This means that the next time you visit the website, your user name and password (encrypted) will already be entered when you log in. In this case, the cookie will only be deleted after 30 days. The use of cookies on the websites of BEE Medic GmbH is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR out of a justified interest in the technically error-free presentation of our websites and the optimal provision of our services. Other cookies, e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour, will be treated separately in the following.

The following applies to both temporary and permanent cookies: You can influence the use of cookies and actively delete them at any time. Internet browsers are set by default to accept cookies. However, you can make appropriate changes in the respective browser settings. You can find further information on this in the help function of your browser. Please note: this is up to you as an Internet user and you must take personal action here. Please also note that the deactivation / restriction of cookies can cause problems when using websites and that you can only use the customer photo function on our website https://www.beemedic.ch to a limited extent or not at all.

Furthermore, the processing can be a component of our (pre)contractual services, provided that the use of the third party was agreed within this context.

The processing of these data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time. In the case of an obligation to permanently observe an objection, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address solely for this purpose in a blacklist.

Information on legal bases: The sending of the newsletter is based on the consent of the recipients or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing. Insofar as we engage a service provider for sending e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests.

Plugins and embedded functions as well content

We include functional and content elements in our online offering, which are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These may include graphics, videos or social media buttons as well as contributions (hereinafter referred to as “content”).

The integration always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of these contents or functions. We strive to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the “pixel tags” information, such as the visitor traffic on the pages of this website, can be evaluated. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, websites to be referred to, time of visit, and other information about the use of our online offer as well as to be associated with such information from other sources.

Reference to legal basis: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for the processing of data is consent. Otherwise, the user’s data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economic and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to inform you about the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

We have entered into a special agreement with Facebook (“Additional for Responsible Persons”, https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum), which specifies in particular which security measures Facebook must observe and in which Facebook has agreed to comply with the data subject’s rights (i.e. users can, for example, address information or deletion requests directly to Facebook). Note: If Facebook provides us with measured values, analyses and reports (which are aggregated, i.e. do not receive information about individual users and are anonymous to us), then this processing is not carried out under common responsibility, but on the basis of an order processing contract (“Data Processing Conditions”)“, https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/dataprocessing), the “Data Security Conditions” (https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum) and with regard to processing in the United States on the basis of standard contractual clauses ("Facebook-EU Data Transfer Supplement,).

Onlinemarketing

We process personal data for the purposes of online marketing, which may include in particular the marketing of advertising space or the display of advertising and other content (collectively referred to as "Content") based on the potential interests of users and the measurement of their effectiveness.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles are created and stored in a file (so-called "cookie") or similar procedure in which the relevant user information for the display of the aforementioned content is stored. This information may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited, online networks used, communication partners and technical information such as the browser used, computer system used and information on usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their sideline data, these can also be processed.

The IP addresses of the users are also stored. However, we use provided IP masking procedures (i.e. pseudonymisation by shortening the IP address) to ensure the protection of the user's by using a pseudonym. In general, within the framework of the online marketing process, no clear user data (such as e-mail addresses or names) is secured, but pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of online marketing procedures, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles.

The information in the profiles is usually stored in the cookies or similar memorizing procedures. These cookies can later, generally also on other websites that use the same online marketing technology, be read and analyzed for purposes of content display, as well as supplemented with other data and stored on the server of the online marketing technology provider.

Exceptionally, clear data can be assigned to the profiles. This is the case, for example, if the users are members of a social network whose online marketing technology we use and the network links the profiles of the users in the aforementioned data. Please note that users may enter into additional agreements with the social network providers or other service providers, e.g. by consenting as part of a registration process.

As a matter of principle, we only gain access to summarised information about the performance of our advertisements. However, within the framework of so-called conversion measurement, we can check which of our online marketing processes have led to a so-called conversion, i.e. to the conclusion of a contract with us. The conversion measurement is used alone for the performance analysis of our marketing activities.

Unless otherwise stated, we kindly ask you to consider that cookies used will be stored for a period of two years.

Information on legal basis: If we ask users for their consent (e.g. in the context of a so-called "cookie banner consent"), the legal basis for processing data for online marketing purposes is this consent. Otherwise, user data will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online services. In this context, we would also like to refer you to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

Presences in social networks (social media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and in this context process user data in order to communicate with the users active there or to provide information about us.

We would like to point out that users’ data can be processed outside the European Union. This can lead to risks for users, for example because enforcement of users’ rights could be made more difficult.

Furthermore, users’ data within social networks are usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on the usage behaviour and resulting interests of the users. In turn, the usage profiles can be used to display advertisements inside and outside the networks, which are supposed to correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users’ computers in which the user’s behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

For a detailed presentation of the respective forms of processing and the possibilities of opposition (opt-out), please refer to the data protection declarations and information of the operators of the respective networks.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Facebook: Together with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, we are responsible for the collection (but not the further processing) of data of visitors to our Facebook page (so-called “Fanpage”). This data includes information about the types of content that users view or interact with, or the actions they take (see “Things done and provided by you and others” in the Facebook Data Policy: Https://www.facebook.com/policy), as well as information about the devices used by users (e.g. IP addresses, operating system, browser type, language settings, cookie data; See “Device Information” in the Facebook Data Policy Statement: Https://www.facebook.com/policy). As explained in the Facebook Data Policy under “How do we use this information?”, Facebook also collects and uses information to provide analytic services, so-called “page-insights”, to site operators so that they can gain insights into how people interact with their pages and with the content associated with them. We have entered into a special agreement with Facebook (“Information on page insights”, https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum), which specifically regulates which security measures Facebook must observe and in which Facebook has agreed to comply with the data subject’s rights (i.e., users can, for example, address information or deletion requests directly to Facebook). The rights of users (in particular to information, deletion, objection and complaint to the competent supervisory authority) are not limited by the agreements with Facebook. Further information can be found in the “Information on page-insights” (https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data).
