2. Collection, Processing, and Use of Your Personal Data
2.1. Personal Data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to them. For example, your name, telephone number, address, or all the data you provide to us when registering and creating your customer account. Statistical data that we collect, for example, when browsing our online sales site and which cannot be directly linked to your person, are not covered by this declaration. This includes, for example, statistics indicating which pages of our site are visited most frequently.
2.2 Customer Account
Every customer who registers on our site has direct, password-protected access to the data stored with us. Through your customer account, you can view data concerning your past, current, or recently shipped orders. You can also update your addresses, payment preferences, and other data at any time. You agree to treat your personal access data confidentially and to prevent any unauthorized third party from accessing it. We decline any responsibility in the event of problems related to the misuse or inappropriate use of passwords.
2.3 Collection, Processing, and Use of Your Personal Data
We strictly comply with the legal provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection and the Electronic Media Act when collecting, processing, and using your personal data. We collect, store, and process your data for the complete fulfillment of your purchase, for our customer and technical service, and for internal marketing purposes. Your personal data is only communicated to third parties if absolutely necessary for the performance of the contract or invoicing, or if you have given your prior consent. In the context of order fulfillment, the service providers we use (delivery services, suppliers, banks) receive only the data necessary for the execution of the order and delivery. The data communicated to them must only be used for the performance of the tasks we entrust to them. No other use of the information is authorized or takes place with the service providers we mandate. For your order, we need your exact data, notably your name, delivery address, and email address for the order confirmation. To the extent that no legal retention obligation opposes it, your personal data will be deleted if you have exercised your right to deletion and if the data is no longer necessary for the performance of the tasks for which it was stored, or if its storage is not authorized for any other legal reasons.
2.4 Use of Your Data for Advertising Purposes and Newsletter
In addition to processing your data for the fulfillment of your purchase at CS Stores Sàrl, we also use your data to communicate with you regarding your orders and to recommend products or services that might interest you. By making a purchase at CS Stores Sàrl, you consent to our processing and using your personal data, particularly for advertising purposes, to send you information about our products by email and post. You may object to this at any time, partially or entirely, without incurring any costs other than transmission costs at basic rates. A simple written declaration sent to us by email, post, or fax is sufficient for this purpose. Regarding the newsletter, you can subscribe to it on our website or unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the link provided for this purpose at the bottom of our newsletter.
3. Credit Check
In order to protect you and shield our company from abuse, you authorize CS Stores Sàrl to transmit your personal data necessary for a credit check to a credit reference agency. We use the information obtained regarding the statistical probability of a payment default (“probability value”) to decide on the payment options suggested to you. In the event of a problem, CS Stores Sàrl reserves the right, at any time and without notice, to deactivate or terminate a customer account without being obliged to state the reason or notify the customer concerned. This applies particularly to customers who breach the general terms and conditions of sale.
Customers who have been excluded are not permitted to register again as customers on our website, whether under their own name or under the name of a third party, without the prior agreement of CS Stores Sàrl.
You may object at any time to the transmission of your data to a credit reference agency. A simple written declaration is sufficient for this purpose. However, we draw your attention to the fact that in this case, only advance payment will be offered to you.
