3. General principles

3.1 What data do we collect from you and from whom do we receive this data

We primarily process personal data that you send to us or that we collect when operating our website. We may also receive personal data about you from third parties. This may be in the following categories:

  • Personal master data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
  • Contact details (mobile number, email address, etc.);
  • Financial data (e.g. account details);
  • Online identifiers (e.g. cookie identifiers, IP addresses);
  • location and traffic data;
  • sound and image recordings;
  • particularly sensitive data (e.g. biometric data or information about your health).

3.2 Under what conditions do we process your data?

We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this privacy policy. We ensure that processing is transparent and proportionate.

If, in exceptional circumstances, we are unable to comply with these principles, the data processing may still be lawful because there is a justification. The following may be considered justification:

  • your consent;
  • the execution of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
  • our legitimate interests, unless your interests outweigh them.

3.3 How can you withdraw your consent?

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent unless we have another justification.

You have the option to revoke your consent at any time by sending an email to the address provided in the imprint. This does not affect data processing that has already taken place.

3.4 In which cases can we pass on your data to third parties?

a. Principle

We may be dependent on using the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commissioning them to process your data (so-called data processors). The categories of recipients are:

  • accounting, trust and auditing companies;
  • Consulting firms (legal advice, taxes, etc.);
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);
  • payment service providers;
  • Providers of tracking, conversion and advertising services.

We ensure that these third parties and our affiliates comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.

We may also be required to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Visiting our social media channels

We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This will be visible to you in each case (typically via corresponding icons). If you click on the icons, you will be redirected to our social media channels.

In this case, the social media providers will learn that you are accessing their platform from our website. The social media providers can use the data collected in this way for their own purposes. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the operators.

c. Transfer abroad

Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are obliged to protect data to the same extent as we are. The transfer can take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we carry out a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same level of protection is guaranteed as in Switzerland (e.g. using the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we will take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses at the following link. https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de

3.5 How long do we keep your data?

We only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the individual purposes for which the data was collected.

Data that we store when you visit our website is retained for twelve months. An exception applies to analytics and tracking data, which may be retained for longer.

We store contract data for longer because we are required to do so by law. In particular, we must store business communications, concluded contracts and booking documents for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data from you to carry out the services, the data will be blocked and we will only use it for accounting and tax purposes.

3.6 How do we protect your data?

We will keep your information secure and take all reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, access, misuse or alteration.

Our contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obliged to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases it will be necessary for us to forward your enquiries to companies affiliated with us. In these cases too, your data will be treated confidentially.

On our website we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.

3.7 What rights do you have?

a. Right to information

You can request information about the data we have stored about you at any time. We ask you to send your request for information together with proof of identity to info@interior3000.ch.

You also have the right to receive your data in a common file format if we process your data automatically and if:

  • you have given your consent for the processing of this data; or
  • You have disclosed data in connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract.

We may restrict or refuse to provide information or data if this conflicts with our legal obligations, our own legitimate or public interests or the interests of a third party.

The processing of your request is subject to the statutory processing period of 30 days. However, we may extend this period due to a high volume of requests, for legal or technical reasons, or because we require further information from you. You will be informed of the extension in good time, at least in text form.

b. Deletion and rectification

You have the option to request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject the request if legal regulations require us to store the data for a longer period or without changes, or if a permit conflicts with your request.

Please note that the exercise of your rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have corresponding effects on the implementation of the contract (e.g. early termination of the contract or cost consequences).

c. Legal recourse

If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to file a report with the responsible supervisory authority. The responsible supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch

We may change this privacy policy at any time. The changes will be published on, but you will not be informed separately.


4. Individual data processing operations

4.1 Providing the website and creating log files

What information do we receive and how do we use it?

When you visit, certain data is automatically stored on our servers or on servers of services and products that we purchase and/or have installed for system administration purposes, for statistical or backup purposes or for tracking purposes. These are:

  • the name of your Internet service provider;
  • Your IP address (where applicable);
  • the version of your browser software;
  • the operating system of the computer used to access the URL;
  • the date and time of access;
  • the website from which you visit URL;
  • the search terms you used to find the URL.

Why are we allowed to process this data?

This data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is not merged with other data sources. The log files are stored to guarantee the functionality of the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. This is our legitimate interest.

How can you prevent data collection?

The data is only stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Accordingly, the data is deleted at the end of each session. The storage of log files is essential for the operation of the website, so you have no option to object to this.



4.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.



4.3 Google Tag Manager

To manage website tags via an interface, we use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not process any personal data. The service triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

By using the Google Tag Manager, scripts (so-called tags) can be automatically activated on our website and data can be transmitted from your browser to Google. This data can include information about your IP address, the browser you use, the subpages of our website visited and other interactions during your website visit.



4.4 Hotjar

We use the web analysis service Hotjar from Hotjar Ltd on our website. Hotjar Ltd. is a European company based in Malta (Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe). Hotjar enables us to measure and analyze the behavior of our website visitors.

For example, Hotjar allows us to determine how long users stay on a page, which links they click on and how they move through the page. This helps us make our website more user-friendly. The information is collected anonymously and is not merged with other data.

Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect information about the behavior of our users and about their devices. This may include the device's IP address (only stored in anonymized form), screen size, device type, browser information, geographic location (country only) and preferred language.



4.5 Pinterest Conversion Tag

We use the "Pinterest Conversion Tag" on our website, an analysis tool from Pinterest Inc., 505 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. This tool enables us to measure the effectiveness of our Pinterest ads and optimize our marketing strategies accordingly.

The Pinterest Conversion Tag allows us to track which actions users perform on our website after they have clicked on one of our Pinterest ads. For example, we can see whether users purchase products, sign up for our newsletter or perform other conversion-relevant actions after clicking on an ad.

The Pinterest Conversion Tag works by placing cookies and similar technologies on users' devices. These technologies collect information about users' browsing behavior and interactions with our ads and website. This includes data such as pages visited, time spent on the website, and actions performed.

If you do not want Pinterest to record and analyze your behavior on our website, you can adjust this in the settings of your Pinterest account or restrict the use of cookies in your browser.



4.6 Google Ads

We use Google Ads on our website, an online advertising service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"). Google Ads enables us to place advertisements in Google search results and in the Google advertising network.



4.7 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, as part of this, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Ads Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").

If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your device. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You can also deactivate personalized advertising in the Google advertising settings. Instructions on how to do this can be found at https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764.



4.8 MailChimp

To send newsletters and email notifications, we use the MailChimp service, offered by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

If you sign up for our newsletter, the data you provide and your email address will be transferred to MailChimp, stored and processed. This enables us to send you regular updates, offers and information.

By registering for the newsletter, your IP address and the date of registration are saved. This storage serves solely as evidence in the event that a third party misuses an email address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorized person.

MailChimp offers extensive analysis options on how the newsletters sent are opened and used. These analyses are group-related and are not used by us for individual evaluation.

The data stored by MailChimp will be deleted as soon as you unsubscribe from our newsletter. This does not affect data stored by us for other purposes.

Pinterest Ads allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by providing information on how many users performed a specific action on our website after clicking on an ad, such as making a purchase or signing up for our newsletter.

To measure the effectiveness of our ads, Pinterest uses cookies and similar technologies. These collect information about your browsing behavior and your interactions with our ads.

Font Awesome is operated by Fonticons, Inc., located at 6 Porter Road, Apartment 3R, Cambridge, MA 02140, USA. Font Awesome is a collection of scalable vector icons that allows website developers to integrate various icons and social logos on their websites.

Font Awesome may load web fonts from Fonticons, Inc.'s servers when a user visits our website. The user's IP address will be sent to Fonticons, Inc. This is necessary so that the user's web browser can correctly display the Font Awesome icons.

Fonticons, Inc. stores users' IP addresses only briefly and solely for the purpose of providing the Font Awesome icons. No further storage or analysis takes place.



4.12 Google Maps

We use Google Maps on our website, a map service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Google Maps enables us to integrate interactive maps directly into the website and allows you to conveniently use the map function, for example to search for a location or to plan your route.

When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, further data, in particular your IP address, is transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers. These servers may be located in the USA or other countries. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists.

Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to your needs. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.



4.13 YouTube

Our website includes videos from YouTube, a platform of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you view the videos or click the play button, data, including your IP address and information about the browser you are using, is transmitted to Google servers and stored there. This data is used to provide the video, monitor performance and improve the user experience.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

4.15 Google reCaptcha

To protect against unwanted requests via the internet form on our website, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The query is used to distinguish whether the input was made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. As part of the query, information such as your IP address or behavior when filling out the form may be transmitted to Google.

For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and processed there. By using reCAPTCHA, you agree that the recognition you provide will be incorporated into the digitization of old works. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data.
