Privacy Policy

Data gathered when this website is accessed are collected, processed and used by Tears of Bacchus AG (“Tears of Bacchus”, “we” or “us”) as the provider of this website. The protection of your personal data is of great importance to us, and we handle it responsibly and in compliance with the applicable statutory data protection regulations.

1. Data that we may collect

In principle, our website can be used without disclosing any personal data. As is common practice, certain technical data such as IP addresses and usage information are collected automatically when pages are retrieved from our web servers.

Automatic records: our web server records each access in a temporary log file. This may include the IP address of the requesting computer, browser and operating system identification, the volume of data transferred, the internet service provider, the date and time of access, as well as the name and URL of the accessed file and the referring page.

Other data processing: we store personal data such as your name, address and contact details only when you decide to send them to us, for example by filling in the contact form. We only ask for the data we need in order to provide the service in question. Mandatory fields are marked; anything else is shared voluntarily.

2. Our use of your data

We use the data we collect to enable your use of the website, for internal system-related purposes such as technical administration and system security, and for anonymous statistical evaluation that helps us tailor the website to our visitors.

3. Cookie policy

A cookie is a small text file used for technical session control and for identifying your browser for the duration of your visit. Cookies allow an anonymous evaluation of general user behaviour for the purpose of optimising our website.

You may view our website without cookies. Most browsers accept cookies by default; you can prevent cookies from being stored, or be warned before they are stored, by changing your browser settings. Some functions of the website may then be restricted.

4. Will we share your data with anyone else?

Personal data collected through this website are not transferred to third parties without your express consent. Excluded from this is the transmission to governmental institutions and authorities, or to private persons with a corresponding right, based on statutory regulations, court orders or regulatory decisions.

Where processing is carried out on our behalf by external service providers, those providers are contractually obliged to comply with the applicable statutory regulations on data protection and data security.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, including details of their origin, recipients and the purpose of storage. Please contact us at benno.greter@tearsofbacchus.com.

You may at any time have your personal data rectified, blocked or deleted, object to their use for advertising purposes, or withdraw your consent in part or in full. Where deletion is prevented by statutory retention periods, the data will be blocked instead of erased. Please note that e-mail is an unencrypted form of communication.

6. How secure is your data?

The data we collect and save are treated confidentially and protected against loss, manipulation and unauthorised access by appropriate technical and organisational measures. Our website may contain links to other websites that are outside our control and are not covered by this privacy policy.

7. Transfers abroad

Owing to the global nature of the internet, information you provide may be transferred in transit to countries outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area. We take adequate steps to ensure the security of your information whenever such a transfer takes place.

8. Changes to this privacy policy

Changes to this privacy policy may be required from time to time, for example due to the further development of our website or statutory changes. Tears of Bacchus therefore reserves the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with future effect. This privacy policy was last updated on 01.05.2020.
