Data protection

The website of Gilgen Logistics AG is subject to Swiss data protection law, in particular pursuant to the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and any applicable foreign data protection law such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU).

The protection of your personal data is of great importance to us.

The provisions below serve to provide information as to the manner, extent and purpose for collecting, using and processing personal information by the provider.

Our website can generally be used without entering personal data. Where personal data is entered on our websites (e.g. name, address or e-mail address), this is always on a voluntary basis where possible and exclusively for the purpose specified. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

We would like to point out that online data transfer (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security loopholes. This means seamless protection against access by third parties is not possible.

In the processing of personal data necessary for complying with a contract for the contracting party in question, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.

Contact information published by third parties in line with the obligation to provide legal information may explicitly not be used for sending advertising and information materials which have not specifically been requested. The operators of the page specifically reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising, e.g. via spam e-mails.

We do not engage in profiling with the personal data nor do we use it for automated individual decisions.

We process personal data that you voluntarily provide to us (via the contact form, newsletter registration or the form for ordering spare parts). Certain technical data is also collected automatically when you visit our website (e.g. your IP address, details of your browser, date and time of your visit, name and URL of the page accessed).

As a matter of principle, we process personal data only to the extent that we need them to process our business relationship, in particular to conclude and process contracts with customers, suppliers, etc.. We also process personal data if you contact us directly in order to process your request.

In addition, we process personal data in order to comply with our legal obligations at home and abroad, to safeguard legal claims and to defend ourselves in legal disputes or official proceedings, to comply with compliance and other internal guidelines and for internal administrative purposes.

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

We host our website at Internetgalerie AG, Thun, Switzerland. The provider (or its web space provider) collects data about every access to the web content (so-called server log files). The access data includes: name of the website requested, file, date and time of the request, volume of data transferred, message about successful request, browser type with version, operating system of the user, referrer URL (the page previously visited) and the requesting provider. 

The provider only uses the log file for statistical evaluations for the purpose of the operation, security, and optimization of the web content. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log files subsequently where concrete indications give rise to the justified suspicion of unlawful use. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR with information security as a legitimate interest.

In such event, information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of facilitating communications with the user. No data is transferred to third parties.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise for the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e., for example, for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation and processing to the termination of the contract) as well as beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. It is possible that personal data will be retained for the time during which claims can be asserted against our company and to the extent that we are further required to do so by law or legitimate business interests (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted or anonymized as far as possible.
