4. COOKIES

Cookies are used on our website. Cookies are small standardised text files that are automatically stored by your browser for a fixed period of time when you access our website for the first time. When you access the same Internet pages later on, your browser tells the server which text the previously saved cookie contains. In addition to specifying the length of time it is stored, a cookie typically contains information about your individual system settings or a random string of characters as an identification number that allows Atelier Parsmei to recognise your browser when you call it up again at a later time and thus link it to a previous visit.

The cookies we use are used for the technical realisation of interactive user functions, which should make Atelier Parsmei more comfortable and user-friendly. For example, cookies make it possible for you to fill and manage your virtual shopping cart during your visit to atelierparsmei.com with orders, and for your site settings (e. g. language, country, payment method) to be maintained during future visits.

In addition, we also use cookies in accordance with this data protection declaration to collect statistical data on the general usage behaviour of our users. By evaluating this data, we gain a better understanding of our users’ needs, enabling us to better target our website and improve our overall experience.

You can configure your browser to prevent cookies from being stored during your visit to atelierparsmei.com. However, we would like to point out that this restricts the usability of our website.

The information generated by the cookie about the use of atelierparsmei.com is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of atelierparsmei.com on our behalf, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services associated with website and internet use for market research purposes and to design Atelier Parsmei in line with your needs.

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

7. NEWSLETTER

This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. This service is provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service which organises and analyses the distribution of newsletters. If you provide data (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter, it will be stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.  MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.

We use MailChimp to analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.

If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analysed by MailChimp, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected.

For details, see the MailChimp privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/

8. SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE

Atelier Parsmei has online presences on various social media and platforms. This simplifies the search for the products offered to interested parties and provides an additional channel of communication.

The purpose of the processing of user data by the respective social media and platforms is usually user-specific advertising, i.e. individualised advertising can be placed which corresponds to the presumed interests of the user or results from his previous usage behaviour. For this purpose, cookies are stored on the user’s end devices. These cookies can store the usage behaviour and thus represent the areas of interest.

The seat of a social medium or platform may be located in a third country, i.e. a country in which the GDPR has no direct legal effect. In this case, the transmission of data will only take place if your consent is given, if an appropriate level of data protection prevails or if another legal permission exists. US providers may operate under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which means that the requirements of the Privacy Shield Agreement are the same as those of the European Union and that the data will be treated accordingly.

We would like to make it clear that users should contact the respective third party providers directly in the case of requests for information and/or the assertion of other rights of those concerned. They have access rights to the user’s data stored and processed there and can provide information and/or take appropriate measures.

Please inform yourself about the principles of data processing of the respective companies on the basis of the corresponding data protection declarations.

9. DATA SECURITY

Atelier Parsmei has taken technical and organisational measures to ensure its systems are protected from misuse and the users’ personal data from loss, manipulation and unauthorised access. The transmission between our website and your browser is encrypted. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) transmission for this purpose. In this way, your data cannot be read by unauthorised third parties during transmission on the Internet. Most current browsers support this encryption technology.

Please note that communication via e-mail with Atelier Parsmei is unencrypted, so that it may be possible for third parties to read e-mail exchanges without authorisation.

10. DATA RETENTION

When you place an order through the website, we will maintain your Order Information for our records unless and until you ask us to delete this information.

11. YOUR RIGHTS

In accordance with and as far as provided by applicable law (as is the case where the GDPR is applicable), you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information above.

If you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfil contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the website), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe, including to Canada and the United States.

In addition, you has the right to enforce your rights in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority of Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).
