Privacy Policy
This privacy policy informs you about the personal data we process in connection with our activities and services, including our website maono.ch. In particular, we explain what, how, and where we process which personal data. We also inform you about the rights of the persons whose data we process.
Additional privacy policies and other legal documents, such as General Terms and Conditions (GTC), Terms of Use, or Terms of Participation, may apply to individual or additional activities and services.
1. Contact Addresses
Responsible for the processing of personal data:
ComputerWorks Inc.
Florence Street 1e
4142 Munichstein
We would like to point out that in individual cases, there may be other parties responsible for the processing of personal data.
2. Terms and Legal Basis
2.1 Terms
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person about whom we process personal data.
Processing includes any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
2.2 Legal Basis
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DSV).
3. Type, scope and purpose
We process the personal data necessary to offer our activities and services – including the sale of audio microphone solutions – in a sustainable, user-friendly, secure, and reliable manner. Such data may include, in particular, inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or marginal data, usage data, location data, sales data, as well as contract and payment data.
The processing takes place for the duration required for the respective purpose or legal requirements. Data whose processing is no longer necessary will be anonymized or deleted.
We may have data processed by third parties or process it jointly with third parties or transmit it to them, in particular specialized providers such as logistics or payment service providers. We ensure that data protection is also guaranteed with these third parties.
As a general rule, we only process data with the consent of the data subjects. If processing is permissible for other legal reasons (e.g., contract fulfillment or legal obligations), consent may be waived. For example, we process voluntarily submitted data (e.g., when contacting us via email or registration) and store it in an address book or CRM system. Individuals who provide us with third-party data are obligated to ensure data protection with respect to those individuals.
We may also collect data from public sources or in the course of our activities, provided that this is legally permissible.
4. Personal data abroad
We generally process data in Switzerland. However, we may also transfer or export it to other countries for processing there.
Data transfers take place to states or territories whose laws, according to a decision of the Swiss Federal Council, offer adequate data protection. In countries without adequate data protection, we can transfer data if other guarantees (e.g., standard contractual clauses) exist. Exceptionally, a transfer without such guarantees is possible if data protection requirements are met (e.g., explicit consent). Upon request, we will inform data subjects about the guarantees and provide copies.
5. Rights of data subjects
5.1 Data Protection Claims
Data subjects have the following rights according to applicable data protection law:
- Information : You can find out whether and what data we process about you, including the purpose, storage period and any data transfers.
- Correction and restriction : Incorrect or incomplete data can be corrected and processing can be restricted.
- Deletion and objection : Data can be deleted ("right to be forgotten") or the processing can be objected to.
- Data disclosure and transfer : You can request your data or have it transferred to another responsible party.
We may delay, restrict, or refuse the exercise of these rights within the legally permissible framework (e.g., due to trade secrets or legal retention obligations). Costs may arise in exceptional cases, of which we will inform you in advance. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate for identification purposes.
5.2 Right to lodge a complaint
Those affected can assert their rights in court or file a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Public Access Commissioner (FDPAC).
6. Data Security
We take technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the risk. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Access to maono.ch is via transport encryption (SSL/TLS, e.g. HTTPS), recognizable by the padlock in the address bar.
