Privacy Policy
Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable (natural or legal) person. This includes information such as first name and surname, title, postal address, e-mail address, telephone number and similar details.
This does not include information that cannot be directly linked to your real identity.
Collection and use of personal data in general
Personal data is collected where it is required for orders, offers, participation in competitions, newsletters, etc. or for the fulfilment of a contractual or legal obligation on the part of Innovity.
If you wish to shop in our online shop, we collect various data for the processing of the order. You must provide the following data:
Name and first name
delivery address
email address
Payment details (depending on the payment method chosen)
telephone number
The telephone number is collected in order to provide you with after-sales services (if necessary) and to guarantee smooth dispatch. The telephone number is not used to call you for advertising purposes, but is forwarded to our shipping partners to improve delivery.
In connection with your orders in the online shop, the processing of your orders and the provision of the services you requested, we collect, store and process the following additional data:
Information about the products ordered;
Information on the services ordered;
Data on your ordering, purchasing and payment behaviour.
For the data processing purposes mentioned in this data protection declaration, we enrich the data we collect about you with personal data from third-party sources. This involves the following personal data:
Year / children's year (for the selection of families with children of school age for the mailing of the Family Magazine);
Data on relocation notifications from Swisscom Directories and data reconciliation to clean up our database.
Innovity.co does not sell or rent any personal data (see below for information on forwarding to third parties).
Impersonal usage data
When you visit and use this website, the web servers register non-personal usage data. The log files provide information about your IP address, the last page visited, the browser used, the date, the time and the requested file.
Innovity.co evaluates this non-personal usage data in order to identify trends, compile statistics and improve its offers. Care is taken to ensure that usage data is not linked to personal data.
Use of personal data for advertising purposes
By providing personal data, you consent to Innovity.co using this data for marketing purposes. In particular, Innovity.co may use your data for the delivery of newsletters or other communication by e-mail or post. You can revoke your consent to the use of your data for advertising purposes at any time. In addition, each newsletter or advertising communication clearly indicates the possibility of rejecting future communications free of charge and simply. Innovity.co is entitled to commission third parties with the technical processing of advertising measures and to pass on your data for this purpose.
Use of data for credit checks
If we make an advance payment, e.g. in the case of a purchase on account, we may obtain credit information from a credit agency on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures in order to safeguard our interests. To this end, we transmit the personal data required for a credit assessment to a credit agency and use the information received on the statistical probability of a default in payment for a balanced decision on the establishment, execution or termination of the contractual relationship. The creditworthiness report may contain probability values (score values) which have been calculated on the basis of scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedures and which include address data, among other things, in their calculation. Their interests worthy of protection are taken into account in accordance with the legal provisions.
Disclosure of personal data to third parties
We will only pass on your personal data if you have expressly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship.
In addition, we pass on your data to third parties insofar as this is necessary for the use of the website and the execution of the contract, in particular the processing of your orders, the processing of your purchases, the delivery of your ordered products and their payment, the provision of the services requested by you and the analysis of your user behaviour. The use of the data passed on for this purpose by third parties is strictly limited to the aforementioned purposes.
Finally, when you pay by credit card in the online shop, we forward your credit card information to your credit card issuer and the credit card acquirer. If you decide to make a credit card payment, you will be asked to enter all the necessary information. With regard to the processing of your credit card information by these third parties, we ask that you also read your credit card issuer's terms and conditions and privacy policy.
Cross-border transfer of personal data
We are also entitled to transfer your personal data to companies domiciled outside Switzerland if this is necessary for the aforementioned purposes. In doing so, we of course comply with the legal regulations on the transfer of personal data to third parties. They are obliged to the same extent as we ourselves to protect data. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland at all times.
Cookies
Innovity.co uses anonymous cookies (small text files that provide storage space for required information) on its websites in order to optimise performance and to determine page impressions.
Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. However, it is up to you to set your browser so that cookies are generally rejected. In this case, however, you may not be able to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.
Web analysis
For our web statistics and in order to constantly improve our online offering, we use analysis tools from various tool providers, such as Google Analytics from Google Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "Google").
These tools use "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to a server of the relevant tool provider and stored there. This server may be located outside Switzerland.
The tool providers will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of this website, compiling reports on website activity for Innovity.co and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. They may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of the tool providers.
You may refuse the use of cookies 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.
By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
In particular, we use the following analysis tools on our websites:
Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (www.google.com). The information generated about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. By activating IP anonymisation on this website, the IP address in member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area as well as in Switzerland is shortened prior to transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymous IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
We also use Google Analytics on our websites. You can prevent this analysis activity by deactivating the use of Google Analytics as mentioned above.
For reasons of completeness, we would like to point out to users resident or domiciled in Switzerland that US authorities have taken surveillance measures in the USA which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland to the USA. This is done without differentiation, limitation or exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective criterion that would allow the US authorities to restrict access to the data and subsequent use thereof to very specific, strictly limited purposes that could justify the interference associated both with access to and use of such data. Furthermore, we would like to point out that in the United States there are no legal remedies available to data subjects from Switzerland that would allow them to access, rectify or delete their data, or that there is no effective judicial protection against general access rights of US authorities.
Advertising analysis
At this point we would like to provide you with comprehensive information on the subject of use-based online advertising. Our Internet offering or website you are currently viewing is marketed by Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 2nd Floor, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland. Advertising on the websites marketed by Shopify International Limited will be optimised for you by anonymously collecting and processing your usage behaviour and will be directed towards predicted interests. As a result, you as a user benefit by receiving advertising that is more in line with your areas of interest and by delivering less randomly scattered advertising overall. A cookie is stored on your computer to record your usage behaviour. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the hard disk of your computer and enable recognition, but do not allow identification of your person.
The aforementioned analysis of your user behaviour may result in a personality profile within the meaning of the Swiss Data Protection Act.
What data is collected?
Information about your activities on this website is collected (e.g. surfing behaviour, visited subpages of Internet offers, clicked advertising banners, etc.). As the current legal situation does not completely rule out the possibility that the data collected may refer indirectly to a person, all usage data is stored anonymously so that personal identification is excluded. The IP address of your computer transmitted for technical reasons is completely anonymised by an independent third party and is not used for the controlled insertion of advertising.
If you no longer wish to receive use-based advertising insertions, you can object by clicking on the following link and deactivate data collection ("opt-out"):

Finally, you can also delete cookies at any time. Please refer to the instructions of your browser manufacturer to find out how all this works in detail. If you do not accept cookies, this may lead to functional limitations of the websites in individual cases. Please note that if you delete a cookie, you must also reactivate the opt-out link.
Personalized marketing in social networks
To enable personalized marketing in social networks, we integrate so-called remarketing pixels from Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Youtube and Snapchat into our websites. If you have an account with a social network involved in this and you are logged into that network at the time you visit the site, that pixel will link the page visit to your account. Before you visit a page, log out of your account to prevent linking. You can make further settings for advertising in the respective social networks in your user profile.
Re-targeting
If necessary, we use so-called re-targeting technologies. Your user behaviour on our website is analysed so that we can subsequently offer you advertising tailored to your individual needs on partner websites. Your user behaviour is recorded under a pseudonym.
Most re-targeting technologies work with cookies (see section "Cookies" above).
This website uses Google AdWords Remarketing, Doubleclick by Google and Google Adsense, services of Google Inc. ("Google") to serve ads based on the use of previously visited web sites. Google uses the DoubleClick cookie and other cookies or pixels to help the browser recognize you when you visit other websites. The information generated by the cookie or pixels about your visit to these websites (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States (for information on transfers of personal data to the United States, see "Web Analytics" above, Google Analytics).
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website with regard to the ads to be placed, compiling reports on website activity and advertising for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not, however, associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
You can prevent re-targeting at any time by rejecting or deactivating the relevant cookies in your web browser.
