Data protection information

As the person responsible for SamaraNatura.ch (BioSamara GmbH), it is very important to me personally to treat the data of our customers confidentially and to save only as much as necessary or with your knowledge and consent. We have compiled this very detailed explanation for your information.

4. Use of cookies
We use cookies on various pages to make your visit to our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your computer. Most of the cookies we use are deleted from your computer's hard drive at the end of the browser session (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognize your computer the next time you visit (so-called permanent cookies). These cookies are used to use the customer account and make it unnecessary for you to re-enter your password or fill out forms with your data for subsequent orders. Our service providers are not permitted to use our website to collect, process or use personal data using cookies.

5. Tracking tools
a. General

For the purpose of the needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website, we use the web analysis service of Google Analytics. In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and small text files that are stored on your computer ("cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transferred to the server of the provider of these services, stored there and processed for us. In addition to the data listed under No. 1, we may receive the following information:

navigation path taken by a visitor on the site,
length of stay on the website or subpage,
the subpage on which the website is left,
the country, region or city from which access is made,
End device (type, version, color depth, resolution, width and height of the browser window) and
Returning or new visitor.

The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of us.

b. Google Analytics

Google Analytics is provided by Google Inc., a company of the Alphabet Inc holding company, based in the USA. Before the data is transmitted to the provider, the IP address is shortened by activating IP anonymization ("anonymizeIP") on this website within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. In these cases, we use contractual guarantees to ensure that Google Inc. maintains an adequate level of data protection. According to Google Inc., under no circumstances will the IP address be associated with other data relating to the user.

You can find more information about the web analysis service used on the Google Analytics website. Instructions on how to prevent the processing of your data by the web analysis service can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

6. Transfer of personal data
In order to be able to process your order, it is necessary to send your data to a logistics company we use, which processes this data on behalf of SamaraNatura (BioSamara GmbH). To process payments, we pass on your payment details to the bank responsible for the payment. To collect outstanding claims, it may be necessary to pass on your data to a business information service or a debt collection agency. All partner companies commissioned by us process your data exclusively for SamaraNatura (BioSamara GmbH) to fulfill their obligations and tasks and in compliance with these data protection regulations and the necessary security measures. Your data will only be kept for as long as is necessary for the provision of the services or for storage based on legal or legal obligations.

7. Data security
Your personal data is transmitted via 256-bit SSL encryption over the Internet during the ordering process. We secure our website and other systems by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your customer account is only possible after entering your personal password. You should always treat your access information as confidential and, especially if you share the computer with others, log out of the customer account and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us.
