Liability for content

Weidmann & Sohn provides no guarantee that the content published on this website is up to date, correct, complete or of a particular quality. Weidmann & Sohn may modify the websites themselves and the availability of information and/or prices at any time without notice. Liability claims against Weidmann & Sohn relating to material or non-material damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided, or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are generally excluded unless Weidmann & Sohn is proven to have acted intentionally or with gross negligence.

Liability for links

Our website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no control. We therefore cannot accept any responsibility for this external content. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations when the links were created. No unlawful content was evident at that time. However, permanently monitoring the content of linked pages is not reasonable without specific indications of a legal violation. If we become aware of any legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.

Copyright

The content and works created by the operators of these pages are subject to German copyright law. Reproduction, editing, distribution and any form of exploitation beyond the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this website are permitted for private, non-commercial use only. Where content on this website was not created by the operator, third-party copyrights are respected. In particular, third-party content is identified as such. If you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, please notify us. If we become aware of any legal violations, we will remove such content immediately.

Right of return

You may cancel your order within 14 days without giving reasons, either in writing or by returning the goods. The period begins upon receipt of the goods and this notice. To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient to send the cancellation notice or the ordered goods in good time.

Consequences of cancellation

In the event of a valid cancellation, both parties must return the benefits received. If a container has already been opened, please consult us first. We may be able to help you resolve application problems with our advice.

If the total value of the goods is less than CHF 40.–, the buyer bears the return shipping costs if the goods ordered correspond to those delivered. If the total value of the goods exceeds CHF 40.–, we will reimburse the return shipping costs. On request, we will also be happy to send you a return label so that you can hand in the return at the post office easily and at no cost to you. Simply attach the return label and hand the parcel in at the counter.

3. Personal data to be processed

We process different categories of personal data for different purposes. Where our contractual partners are companies, we process less personal data; in particular, we process data about the companies’ contact persons (e.g. name, email address, position within the company, communication data). You provide much of the following personal data to us yourself. However, you are generally not obliged to do so. If you disclose data about other people to us, we assume that you are authorised to do so and that this data is also correct. You automatically confirm this when you transmit data about these third parties to us. Please ensure that the third parties concerned have been made aware of this Privacy Policy.

3.1. Basic data and contact information

Basic data and contact information relate directly to you and your characteristics (for example, so that we can contact you). We process the following basic data, for example:

• Surname, first name
• Postal address/address
• Email address
• Telephone number

We receive this master data directly from you. Under certain conditions, however, we may also obtain personal data from third parties, such as our contractual partners, associations and address brokers, and from publicly accessible sources such as the internet.

3.2. Contract data

Contract data is information that arises in connection with the performance of a contract. We process the following data:

• Information about payments and payment arrangements, mutual claims
• Information about objections, customer satisfaction, complaints and feedback
• Responses to customer and satisfaction surveys

3.3. Job application data

Job application data is data that arises in connection with your application to us, such as the following:

• CV, cover letter
• Employment references and educational certificates
• Information about your current job (e.g. notice period)
• Salary expectations
• Information related to a job interview

3.4. Communication data

Communication data is data that arises in connection with communication with you, such as the following:

• Contact details such as postal address, email address and telephone number
• The content of all correspondence
• Information about the type, time and other metadata of the communication

3.5. Behavioural data

To tailor our offerings and services to you, we try to get to know you better. To do this, we process data about your behaviour. Behavioural data is information about your use of our website. It may also be collected on the basis of technical data. We may also use your other interactions with us as behavioural data, and we may combine behavioural data with other information. This data then gives us an indication of your likely needs and interests. We analyse behavioural data for this purpose. In this way, we gain an overall understanding of the preferences and likely behaviour of you or groups of people with similar characteristics.

3.6. Location data and technical data

When you visit our website, technical data is collected. This includes the following, for example:

• Location and traffic data
• The device’s IP address and device ID
• Information about your device and its operating system
• Information about your internet service provider
• Content accessed or logs recording the use of our systems
• The date and time of access to the website

3.7. Other possible data

Depending on what is necessary, we may also process the following additional data:

• We may also process photographs or videos in which you may be identifiable (e.g. from events).

4. Purposes of our data processing

To the extent permitted, we process your personal data for various purposes in which we have a legitimate interest corresponding to the purpose:

• To perform contracts
• To improve our services and products
• For communication (e.g. responding to your messages)
• For marketing and information purposes (for example, so that we can inform you about offers or new activities in line with your personal interests)
• To assess your job application (so that we can determine whether you are suitable for a position with us)
• For internal administration (e.g. in connection with accounting or data archiving)
• To comply with legal requirements (e.g. to handle complaints or prevent and investigate criminal offences or other misconduct)
• To assert legal claims (where necessary, we also process personal data to enforce claims in court, out of court and before authorities in Switzerland and abroad, or to defend ourselves against legal claims)
• For business development (e.g. for company management, to carry out the purchase and sale of business divisions and the associated transfer of personal data)

5. Data processing in connection with social media

When you contact us via social media and our profiles there, for example on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc., comment on content or share posts, we collect information about this that we may use for marketing purposes, for example. The respective social media platform provider also collects data itself when you visit our profile. Further information about data processing by a social media provider itself can be found in that provider’s privacy policy.

On our website, we offer you the option of using a social media plugin from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn and Pinterest to integrate the respective provider’s functions into our website. These plugins are disabled by default, but are activated when you click the social media icon on the website. You can address requests for information and other data subject requests in connection with these social media providers directly to the provider concerned.

6. Online advertising technologies

We use online advertising technologies, such as cookies, on our website. We use these to measure the user-friendliness and success of the website and online advertising campaigns.

6.1. What are online advertising technologies such as cookies?

When we track you, we can distinguish your visits from those of other users so that we can ensure the website functions properly and carry out statistical analyses. Each time you access a page, you are recognised as an individual visitor and can therefore be distinguished from other people, for example by the server assigning your browser a unique identification number (known as a “cookie”). Cookies are automatically stored on your device when you visit our website. We use cookies, for example, to save settings between your visits to the website or to collect statistical technical data.

6.2. Which cookies or online advertising technologies do we use?

We use analytics services so that we can optimise our website. Below, we explain how our main analytics service providers work by way of example. Other third-party providers of similar tools generally process personal data in a similar way.

• Google Analytics, an analytics service from Google LLC and Google Ireland Ltd. Google Ireland Ltd. is the controller responsible for processing personal data. Google uses cookies and online advertising technologies to analyse certain information about the behaviour of individual users on the website. Based on the analysed data, Google provides us with reports, but also processes data for its own purposes. Information about data protection at Google Analytics can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

• Facebook Pixel, an analytics tool from Meta Platforms Irland Ltd. This allows us to control advertisements on Facebook and Facebook’s partners so that they are displayed only to users who may be interested in the relevant advertising. The data is stored on servers in the EEA and the USA. Users can address requests for information and other enquiries directly to Meta. Information about data protection at Meta can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy.

• LinkedIn Insight Tag, an analytics tool from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. This tool informs us that you have visited our website, and your IP address is processed in this connection. The tool allows us to analyse the use of our website. The data is stored on servers in the EEA and the USA. Please note that LinkedIn may establish a connection to a user profile and use analysed data for its own advertising purposes. Further information about LinkedIn’s data protection practices and the corresponding settings can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

7. Disclosure of data to other companies and further recipients

We disclose your personal data to service providers. This concerns IT service providers in particular, but may also include analytics providers, debt collection agencies, credit reference agencies, marketing service providers, etc., where necessary. Insofar as these service providers process personal data as processors, they are obliged to process personal data exclusively in accordance with our instructions and to take data security measures. Data may also be disclosed to other recipients, for example courts and authorities in the context of legal proceedings.

In individual cases, we may also pass personal data on to other third parties for their own purposes, for example if you have given us your consent to do so or if we are legally obliged or entitled to disclose it.

8. Personal data abroad

Data recipients (e.g. other companies or authorities) are not located exclusively in Switzerland. This particularly concerns certain service providers. They may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, in particular in the USA, i.e. also in other countries around the world. For example, we may transmit data to authorities abroad if we are legally obliged to do so. Not all countries outside Switzerland and the EEA have the same level of data protection as Switzerland. We therefore compensate for the lower level of protection through appropriate contracts, particularly the Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the European Commission and recognised by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

In certain cases, we may also transmit data without these contracts in accordance with data protection requirements, for example if you have consented to a specific disclosure of data or if disclosure is necessary for the performance of a contract, the enforcement of legal claims or overriding public interests.

9. Duration of data processing

We store and process your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purpose of processing (for data relating to contracts, this is normally for the duration of the contractual relationship), for as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing the data (e.g. to enforce legal claims or ensure IT security) and for as long as the data is subject to a statutory retention obligation (for example, certain data is subject to a ten-year retention period with which we must comply). We destroy or anonymise your personal data after the storage or processing period has expired, unless legal or contractual obligations prohibit this.

10. Rights of data subjects

Under applicable data protection law, you have certain rights that allow you to obtain further information about and influence our data processing. These include, in particular, the following rights:

• You have a right of access. This means you can request information about our data processing. We are happy to assist you with this. You can also submit an access request if you would like further information and a copy of your data.
• You have a right to data portability. This means you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to a third party, insofar as the processing concerned is based on your consent or is necessary for the performance of a contract.
• You have a right to erasure and to object. This means you can object to our data processing so that we can no longer process your data. You can also request that we delete your personal data. However, please note that we will continue to process and retain your data if we are obliged to do so.
• You have a right to rectification. This means you can have incorrect or incomplete personal data corrected or completed, or have a note added indicating that the data is disputed.
• You have a right to withdraw consent. This means you can withdraw your consent at any time if you previously gave your consent to data processing. Withdrawal takes effect from that point onwards, i.e. only for the future and not for the past. However, if you withdraw your consent, we may continue to process your data on another basis.

If you exercise your rights as a data subject, we must verify your identity (for example, by having you send us a copy of an identity document). The rights listed above are also subject to legal conditions and restrictions. This means that it is not possible to exercise these rights in full in every case. For example, we must continue to process your personal data to fulfil an order with you, to safeguard our own legitimate interests or to comply with legal obligations. To the extent permitted by law (e.g. to protect the privacy of third parties and to safeguard our own legitimate interests, such as trade secrets), we may restrict or refuse the exercise of your rights. Please also note that you have the option of taking your concerns to the competent data protection authority.
