2.3 User shall read this Privacy Policy carefully. By accessing the Website User agrees to this Privacy Policy. If User disagrees complying with the terms of Kugelmeiers, User shall not access the Website.

2.4 Kugelmeiers may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. Amendments to the Terms will be posted on the Website. Kugelmeiers will also inform Users who have provided their contact information (e.g. Customer or newsletter subscriber) by e-mail about any amendments. If a registered User disagrees with the amended Terms, it must inform Kugelmeiers within fourteen (14) days by e-mail to info@kugelmeiers.com, in which case Kugelmeiers will delete the User’s registration data that must not be archived according to mandatory law.

2.5 Activities beyond the Website are governed by the terms and/or privacy policy of such third party activity provider. Kugelmeiers cannot influence the way Personal Data is transmitted by third party providers. User shall refer to the contractual data protection clauses of his/her network operator to find out more about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further distribution and use of User’s Personal Data by his/hers operator, as well as about the possibilities the operator grants User to protect User’s privacy.

 

3. Personal Data

3.1 When Visitor accesses or User registers on the Website it voluntarily provides certain Personal Data to Kugelmeiers. Such Personal Data can include an IP address, name, gender, email address, shipping and billing information, telephone number provided during sign-up as well as surfing patterns, and any other information User may provide to Kugelmeiers.

3.2 Kugelmeiers may receive certain Personal Data about User, being from social media networks or otherwise. Kugelmeiers may also collect Personal Data which User actively provides, such as, for instance Personal Data that User writes on Kugelmeiers’ social media pages (or Personal Data User exposes by ‘liking’ or ‘following’ Kugelmeiers’ pages or channels), and/or provides on other services. Such Personal Data is considered public, and may be collected by third parties beyond Kugelmeiers’ control. Any Personal Data User exposes when contacting Kugelmeiers, via email or otherwise, may also be collected.

3.3 Kugelmeiers may collect User’s IP address and other Personal Data about User’s activities on the Website. For example, Kugelmeiers may record how many times User accesses the Website or what Content User accesses, and/or what device User uses. Kugelmeiers may place cookies (i.e. small data packets) on User’s device for identification purposes and to increase usability and user experience. User may opt not to have cookies installed on his/her device, in which case User’s usability and user experience of the Website may be limited.

3.4 At some point, User may decide to refer the Website to others. Should this be done through the Website or any other system of Kugelmeiers, then Personal Data may be collected from such activity.

3.5 The Website integrates functions (so called plugins) of various third party operators of social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google+). Those plugins allow Visitors to share content in social networks. If a plugin appears while accessing the Website (e.g., the Facebook “like” button), a connection to the servers of the corresponding operator is automatically established. In such case Personal Data about the access to the Website may be transferred to such third party operator. If User is logged into the network of the third party operator while at the same time accessing the Website, Personal Data can be assigned to User’s social network account (e.g. User’s Facebook, Twitter or Google+ account).

3.6 Kugelmeiers uses third party services to analyse surfing behaviour of its Users (e.g. Google Analytics). Those third parties may process the surfing data visitors create on the Website. Data collected this way is being transferred anonymously to servers of those third parties, also outside Switzerland, in particular to the U.S.A.

  • Purchase: Kugelmeiers may use the Personal Data to provide the merchandise purchased to Customer.
