Data processing for advertising purposes is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO, whereby our interest lies in particular in direct marketing and the analysis and evaluation of the use of our website.
We use and analyse your data when you visit our website. So-called cookies may be used for this purpose (see point 6). Their behaviour can be used to create a so-called usage profile. This is only done on the basis of pseudonyms.
We integrate remarketing pixels from Facebook, which allow us to use personalized marketing. If you have an account with one of the social networks included in this site and are logged in at the time of your visit, this pixel links your visit to your account. If you want to prevent this link, you must log out of your account before visiting the site.
- Transfer of collected data to third parties
We will only pass on your personal data if you have expressly consented to this, 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 relationship between you and Chocolat Ammann AG. In addition, we will pass on your data to third parties as far as this is necessary within the scope of the use of the website for the provision of the services requested by you and for the analysis of your user behaviour, as described above. Insofar as this is necessary for the above-mentioned purposes, the data may also be transferred abroad. If our website contains links to third-party websites, Chocolat Ammann AG has no influence on the collection, processing, storage or use of personal data by the third party after clicking on these links and, to the extent permitted by law, assumes no responsibility or liability for such data.

These third parties are obliged to the same extent as we are ourselves to protect data.
Data transfers to the USA

For the rest, we refer to the data protection regulations of the USA.

- Tracking Tools
The tracking tools allow us to track your surfing behavior on our website. This monitoring is carried out for the purpose of designing our website in line with requirements and for the continuous optimisation of our website.
Social plugins from Facebook are used on our website. This is an offer from the US company Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
We use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button for this. Through the integration of these plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
For the rest, we refer to the privacy policy of Facebook.

You have the right to request information about your personal data stored by us about you, to request any corrections and deletion of your personal data, unless this is contrary to a legal obligation to retain data or a permission to process the data.
