Privacy Policy
We, Kali Skate GmbH, Tannrain 19, 6214 Schenkon, operate the website https://www.kaliskate.ch as well as the associated online shop and are the provider of the products offered on this website. In the following, we are considered the controller responsible for the collection, use and processing of your personal data.
Below, we inform you whether and how we process your data:
Data Processing, Storage and Deletion
We only process personal data that we collect directly via our website, associated applications, external platforms, so-called “landing pages”, or in the course of business relationships with our customers and other business partners. Processing only takes place if explicit consent has been given or if a legal basis exists — for example, for the performance of a contract, to comply with legal obligations, or based on our legitimate interests.
Within the scope of your consent, we process your data only within the limits of that consent, unless one of the following legal bases applies. Please note that you may withdraw your consent at any time; however, any processing carried out lawfully prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.
Possible legal bases include:
● The data subject’s consent;
● Fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or necessary pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject;
● Compliance with legal obligations to which our company is subject;
● Performance of a task carried out in the public interest;
● Legitimate interests pursued by our company, provided these are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject.
We delete personal data as soon as the purpose of its collection has been fulfilled and there is no need for further storage. However, in certain cases we are legally required to store data for a longer period. This applies in particular to provisions under Swiss or European law in areas such as contract, tax and commercial accounting regulations. For example, business records, contracts and accounting documents must be retained for a period of 10 years. Personal data that is stored solely for legal reasons and is no longer required for the provision of our services will be restricted and only used for accounting and tax purposes.
Disclosure to Third Parties
In the course of order processing, the use of third-party services may be necessary. In such cases, it may be required to transfer data to external service providers to ensure contractual performance. The legal bases for such data transfers correspond to those for lawful processing, as outlined in the previous section. Through contractual agreements, we ensure that third parties entrusted with data processing comply with data protection regulations. Furthermore, in certain cases, we may be legally obliged by administrative or judicial orders to disclose data to public authorities or third parties.
Shipping Service Providers
For the delivery of your orders, we transmit necessary data (name, delivery address and, if applicable, email address/phone number for shipment notifications) to the Swiss Post and/or DHL. The legal basis is contractual performance; additionally, we have a legitimate interest in efficient delivery.
Provision of Our Services and Creation of Log Files
Our system automatically collects and stores information in so-called log files as soon as you access our website. This includes the following data:
● Browser type and version
● Operating system
● IP address
● Internet service provider
● Date and time of access
The above data cannot be directly assigned to a specific person and is not merged with other personal data. However, it remains stored within our system. The collection and storage of this data in log files is based on our legitimate interests — in particular, to ensure the functionality and security of our services as well as to optimize them. Log files are automatically deleted after each session ends.
The collection and storage of your data in log files is essential for the operation of our website; therefore, you have no option to object to this process.

● The categories of personal data being processed;
● The recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, particularly recipients in third countries or international organisations;

You also have the right to be informed whether your personal data is being transferred to a third country or international organisation. In such cases, you have the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
Right to Rectification and Erasure
You have the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete personal data.
You also have the right to request the immediate deletion of personal data concerning you, if one of the following reasons applies:
● The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
● You withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing;

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:
● You contest the accuracy of the personal data — processing may be restricted for a period enabling us to verify accuracy;
● The processing is unlawful, but you oppose deletion and request restriction instead;
● We no longer need the data for processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
● You have objected to processing and it is not yet clear whether our legitimate grounds override yours.
If processing has been restricted, such personal data shall — apart from storage — only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest.
Notification Obligation
If we have made personal data public and are obliged to delete it, we will, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, take reasonable steps to inform other controllers processing the data that you have requested deletion of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.
We will notify all recipients to whom personal data has been disclosed about any rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. If requested, we will inform you about these recipients.

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. In this case, we will no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time. If you object, we will no longer use your data for this purpose.

In Switzerland, the competent authority is:
Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC)
Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, Switzerland
The supervisory authority will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy.
