These data protection regulations form the basis for the processing of personal data and provide information on what type of user data is collected from customers by Shoppinhome.ch, how Shoppinhome.ch uses this data and what rights the customers are entitled to. Shoppinhome.ch complies with the applicable data protection laws and only processes personal data for the purposes for which the data was transmitted.

This privacy policy will be adjusted, supplemented or changed from time to time. With each new call or visit to the website, the current, retrievable version applies.

2 Nature and purpose of the data collected

The term "personal data" or "personally identifiable information" as used in this Privacy Policy includes information from which customers can be personally identified.

The processing of personal data means any handling of personal data, such as collecting, using, storing, disclosing, transmitting or deleting the data.

On the one hand, shoppinghome.ch automatically collects personal data when the customer interacts with the website or uses the online shop. On the other hand, personal data provided by a customer (e.g. by making contact, creating a user profile or customer account) is recorded automatically or manually.

2.1 Information Collected Automatically

When visiting the Shoppinghome.ch website, statistical visitor data is automatically collected on which parts of the website the customer visits. Each time a website is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, the customer's IP address, the date and time of the call, the browser used, the operating system, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data). contains and documents the retrieval. In this context, it is sometimes necessary for so-called cookies (see Section 4 below) to be used.

This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer.

2.2 Data when interacting with Shoppinghome, for contract processing, contacting and opening a customer account

Shoppinghome.ch does not automatically collect personal data from customers, such as name, address, telephone number or e-mail address.

On the other hand, personal data is collected from customers if a customer voluntarily provides this as part of an order or when contacting Shoppinghome.ch (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, since Shoppinghome.ch needs the data in these cases to process the contract or to process the contact and without this information the order or the contact cannot be sent. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms.

If a customer decides to open a customer account, Shoppinghome.ch uses the personal data for the purpose of opening a customer account. The mandatory information requested during registration must be given in full, otherwise Shoppinghome.ch can refuse the registration. Shoppinghome.ch only uses the personal data recorded for the purpose of using the online shop or the respective offer or service for which the customer has registered. In addition, Shoppinghome.ch can use the customer's e-mail address to inform them about important changes, for example in the scope of the offer, or in the case of technically necessary changes.

After the contract has been fully processed or after the customer account has been deleted, the customer's data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after the tax and commercial law retention periods have expired, unless the customer has expressly consented to further use of the data or Shoppinghome.ch has not consented reserves the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law. The customer account can be deleted at any time and can be done either by sending a message to the contact details given below (see Section 9 below) or using a function provided for this purpose in the customer account.

3 Legal basis for collecting and processing personal data

The legal basis for the collection and processing of the customer's personal data depends on the respective purpose of the data processing in each individual case. In particular, the following come into question:

§ safeguarding the legitimate interests of Shoppinghome.ch, provided that the interests of the customer or fundamental rights or fundamental freedoms are not unreasonably affected;

§ the conclusion or performance of a contract; or

§ Consent of the customer at the time the personal data is recorded. The customer can revoke his consent at any time. For this purpose, the customer can send a corresponding notification to the contact details described below. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

Cookies are small pieces of software information that are stored by web browsers (e.g. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) on the customer's computer hard drive to facilitate use of the website (e.g. language selection, shopping cart, etc.).

Some of the cookies used by Shoppinghome.ch are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing the web browser (so-called session cookies).

4.3 Social Media Content

Shoppinghome.ch can use social media plugins from social networks such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter on the website.

If the customer calls up a website that contains such a plugin, the web browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to the web browser by the respective provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, the providers receive the information that the customer's web browser has accessed the corresponding Shoppinghome.ch website, even if the customer does not have a profile on the corresponding social network or is not currently logged in. This information (including the IP address) is transmitted from the customer's web browser directly to a server of the respective provider (possibly in the USA) and stored there. If the customer is logged in to one of the services, the providers of the social network can directly assign the visit to the Shoppinghome.ch website to the profile in the respective social network. If the customer interacts with the plugins, for example by pressing the "Like" or "Share" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information is also published on the social network and displayed there to the customer's contacts.

These social network platforms have their own data protection regulations over which Shoppinghome.ch has no influence.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers on their pages as well as a contact option and the related rights of the customers and setting options for the protection of privacy can be found in the data protection information of the providers:

https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

https://twitter.com/de/privacy

https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388

If the customer does not want any of these plugins to be loaded, it is recommended to log out of the relevant social network. Furthermore, various web browsers can be set up or supplemented with add-ons (e.g. Facebook blocker) so that the social media plugins are not loaded.

5 newsletters

If the customer would like to receive a newsletter offered by Shoppinghome.ch, Shoppinghome.ch requires an e-mail address from the customer and other information that allows verification that the customer is the owner of the e-mail address provided and with whom I agree to receive the newsletter (so-called “double opt-in” procedure). If the customer would like to register for a newsletter as a registered customer, he can give his consent at the time of registration or later via the registration function in the customer account.

With the newsletter, the customer regularly receives recommendations and offers that might interest them. For this purpose, Shoppinghome.ch collects and processes personal data relating to the customer's usage behavior on the website, the orders placed with Shoppinghome and how the customer uses the newsletter (e.g. whether the newsletter is opened or which web URL links are clicked on). Shoppinghome.ch can evaluate this data for statistical purposes in order to better tailor the content of the newsletter to the interests of the customer.

The personal data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed based on the customer's consent, which the customer can revoke at any time for the future. The revocation takes place either via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter, written notification by the customer to Shoppinghome.ch at the address listed below or deregistration in the customer account. Shoppinghome.ch uses the personal data collected to design the content and send the newsletter. It will not be passed on to third parties for their own (advertising) purposes.

Shoppinghome.ch stores the personal data stored by the customer for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter until the customer unsubscribes from the newsletter again.

6 Sharing Your Information

Shoppinghome.ch will not disclose customers' personal data to third parties. An exception to this is if the customer has consented to the transfer of data to companies that are not affiliated with Shoppinghome.ch or if Shoppinghome.ch is legally, officially or judicially obliged to do so. In addition, if service providers who support Shoppinghome.ch in data processing, website administration or in any other way and in providing the products and services requested by the customer are called in (e.g. parcel or newsletter delivery service providers). These third parties are obliged to maintain the same level of security and data protection as Shoppinghome.ch.

7 Data Security

Unfortunately, the transmission of data via the Internet is not completely secure. Shoppinghome.ch works with service providers and Internet providers who take appropriate technical and organizational security precautions to protect the personal data of customers. However, Shoppinghome.ch cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted by the customer. Any data transmission is therefore at your own risk.

8 Your information and cancellation rights

Of course, every customer is free to inform Shoppinghome.ch at any time - for example in an e-mail - that the personal data should not be used to contact them in the future. Participation in the special services of the Shoppinghome.ch website, such as the newsletter service, can also be revoked at any time.
