Data Protection & Privacy

Dealing with your data confidentially is very important to us. You can find out how we handle your data in our data protection declaration. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact our data protection responsible at compliance@swicro.de.

This privacy policy applies to this webshop and all other online shops operated by Swicro GmbH.

You can visit our site without providing any personal information. We only store access data without personal reference such as browser type/version, operating system used, previously visited page, IP address, excluding time of server request. These data are evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes and thus for the improvement of our offer and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

You can also place orders without creating a user account.

Personal data is only collected if you voluntarily provide it to us within the scope of your order, when opening a customer account or registering for our newsletter. We use this data without your separate consent exclusively for the fulfilment and processing of your order including the processing of the necessary production, shipping and payment logistics. Under no circumstances will the collected data be sold or passed on to third parties for other purposes.

With complete processing of the contract and complete payment of the purchase price, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted at the end of the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data. If you register for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be used for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. If you have opened a customer account, your previous orders will be stored there.

The Internet pages use cookies in several places. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain on your computer (so-called permanent cookies). These originate from Google Analytics and are used to create pseudonymous user profiles that do not allow any inference to your person.

You can deactivate cookies in your browser, but you may not be able to use certain functions of our website. Our partner companies are not permitted to collect, process or use personal data via cookies on our website.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on the user's computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and truncated by Google on servers in the United States. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating the use of the website by users, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage for website operators.

With the newsletter we inform our customers and newsletter subscribers about us and our offers.

If you wish to receive the newsletter, we need a valid email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected. This data will only be used to send the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

With the registration to the newsletter we store your IP address and the date of the registration. This record serves only as proof in the event that a third party misuses an email address and subscribes to the newsletter without the knowledge of the person entitled to do so.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. The revocation can be made via a link in the newsletters themselves, in your profile area or by sending a message to the contact options listed above.
