General Information

Personal data is processed to the extent necessary to provide our website and the content and services it contains. Processing is based either on your consent or, where permitted by other legal grounds, in particular our overriding legitimate interests.

We also process personal data in the context of our customer and supplier relationships as well as through our social media channels — data received from you or involved third parties in the course of individual customer and supplier relationships or through the use of social media channels, or data we collect ourselves.

If you transmit personal data about third parties to us (e.g., via your employees or other contact persons), it is your responsibility to inform those third parties in a general way about processing by us or other external service providers (e.g., in an employee privacy notice).

The legal bases for data processing include the execution or initiation of a contract, your consent, legal obligations, or our overriding legitimate interests.

Consent to the processing of personal data may be withdrawn from us at any time. Please note, however, that withdrawal only takes effect for the future. Processing that occurred prior to the withdrawal is not affected.

Website

Collection of Access Data and Log Files
To ensure the proper operation of our website, we collect data about accesses to the server on which our website is hosted (so-called server log files). These log files store information such as the name of the retrieved page or file, date and time of the request, volume of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type (including version), the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider. Log file information is collected for security purposes (e.g., to investigate abuse or fraud) and is retained for as long as necessary or appropriate for evidentiary purposes.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Our website uses cookies. When you visit our website, these are stored locally by your browser. Locally stored cookies allow your browser to be identified on repeat visits to our website.

So-called session cookies are stored for the duration of your browser or website session and are deleted from memory at the latest when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies allow certain preferences and settings for our website to be stored in the browser so they can be retrieved on subsequent visits. Persistent cookies are deleted after their defined storage period expires.

We use cookies on our website (e.g., Google Analytics cookies) to measure information about website usage and reach. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in continually optimizing our online offering and improving your user experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer that enable analysis of your website usage. Based on information stored via cookies, we can, among other things, show you pop-up messages once during your visit or manage login functionality for access to certain content.

You can disable the use of cookies from our website and/or third parties at any time in your browser settings, or allow/block them individually. The following link provides detailed instructions on how to disable cookies in your browser: https://de.wikihow.com/Cookies-deaktivieren. Various programs (e.g., Norton Internet Security) also offer settings for managing cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may result in your being unable to use certain features of our (and other) websites to the same extent.

Google Analytics

On intelligentfood.com, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. / Google Ireland Limited (www.google.com). Google Analytics uses cookies that allow us to analyze (on a non-personal basis) how visitors use our website. Google Analytics is configured so that your IP address is truncated by Google within Europe before any transfer to the USA, and all features that would allow identification via an existing Google account are disabled.

Based on our configuration of Google Analytics, we assume that the information we share with Google does not constitute personal data for Google. Nevertheless, we cannot rule out that Google may draw conclusions about you from this data for its own purposes, create personal profiles, and link this data to individual Google accounts. If you have a Google account, you are generally identifiable to Google. Processing of your personal data by Google then occurs under Google's responsibility and in accordance with Google's privacy policy. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Via Google Analytics, we only learn how our website is used, without receiving any personal information about users. You can disable the use of Google Analytics at any time by installing a simple browser add-on, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/?hl=de.

By default, all data at the user and event level associated with cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies) is deleted from Google Analytics 26 months after the last activity of the respective user.

Google Web Fonts

To ensure consistent and correct display of fonts on our website, we use Google Web Fonts. When our website loads, the corresponding fonts are loaded into your browser cache. The use of Web Fonts serves the uniform, error-free, and visually appealing display of all texts and typefaces.

To display Web Fonts, your browser establishes a connection to Google's servers. Google is thereby informed that our website was accessed via your IP address. For more information on how Google handles this data, see https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Facebook

Facebook (www.facebook.com) uses technologies to show you relevant advertisements. Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., located at 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. If you do not want anonymized data to continue to be collected by Facebook, please click the opt-out link below. This opt-out cookie clears previously stored information and prevents further data collection.

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

At certain points on this website, third-party content is embedded, such as CAPTCHAs from Google reCAPTCHA or graphics from other websites. This means that third-party providers learn, when the page loads, that our website was accessed via your IP address. Third-party content and services are only integrated in exceptional cases and always with the aim of improving usability and user convenience on our website.

Contact by Email and Contact Form

If you contact us via the email addresses or contact forms provided on the website, the personal data transmitted with the email will be stored. This data is used to handle your inquiry. In addition, you thereby grant us your consent to use your data for advertising and marketing purposes (e.g., information about product innovations, events, etc.) as well as for market research, opinion research, and media monitoring.

Processing on Social Media Channels

We operate our own profiles on third-party online platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, and process data about you in this context. We process data you provide to us directly via these platforms (communication via the platform, retrieval of content, comments, likes, and other functions), and we also receive non-personal data from the platforms (analytics). The operators of such platforms may also process, use, and act as data controllers for this data for their own purposes in accordance with their own terms of use and privacy policies (e.g., for marketing and market research purposes and to administer their platforms). Please consult the privacy policies of the respective platforms:

Processing in Contractual Relationships

In the context of contractual relationships with us, you or the individuals concerned transmit personal data to us when you or they contact us, for example by email or telephone, and inquire about our products and services. This includes, for example, names and contact details as well as information about the role of the person concerned at the company or organization for which you or the respective contact persons work, or on whose behalf you or they contact us.

We process this personal data to provide, document, and invoice our services within the scope of our contractual relationships. We also process your contact details, or those of your employees or other contact persons, for marketing purposes (using any communication channel such as email, social media, mail, or telephone) to inform about publications, events, news, services, or products that may be of interest.

Recruiting

If you apply to us for a position, we process the relevant data for the purpose of reviewing the application, conducting the application process, and — in the case of successful applications — for preparing and concluding an employment contract. In addition to your contact details and the information from the relevant correspondence, we process in particular the data contained in your application documents as well as data we may additionally obtain about you from publicly accessible third-party sources, such as professional social networks, the internet, media — and from references, if you consent to us obtaining references about you.

Unless you indicate otherwise, we reserve the right to also consider and review your application for other positions at our company that may be suitable for you. With your consent, we will also retain the application for a limited period of time so that we can assess whether you are suitable for future vacancies and contact you accordingly.

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties

To achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, it may be necessary for us to disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients: external service providers, insurers, authorities and courts, and business partners with whom we may need to coordinate our services.

We process personal data within our area of responsibility in Switzerland or in the European Economic Area. However, we may transfer personal data to recipients who in turn process the personal data in other countries, including those that do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to Swiss law. The latter will be done on the basis of consent or standard contractual clauses, or where necessary for the performance of a contract or the enforcement of legal claims.

Retention Period

We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the handling of the contractual relationship, as long as a statutory retention and documentation obligation exists, as long as we have an overriding private or public interest in doing so, or as long as storage is technically required (e.g., in the case of backups or document management or archiving systems). Unless legal or contractual obligations or technical reasons prevent it, we will generally delete or anonymize your data after the storage or processing period has expired as part of our internal processes.

Data Security

We take proportionate and reasonable precautions to protect personal data from loss, unauthorized alteration, or unauthorized access by third parties.

Your Rights

As a user, you have the right at any time to request, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about you. You also have the right to correction of incorrect data, blocking and deletion of your personal data, and to object to the future processing of your personal data in accordance with legal requirements.

Please note, however, that conditions and exceptions apply to these rights. To the extent legally permissible or required, we may refuse requests to exercise these rights. For example, we may or must retain personal data or otherwise continue processing it for legal reasons within the framework of our statutory or contractual retention obligations, even if requested to delete personal data or restrict processing.

If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy or your personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us. You can do so by emailing contact@intelligentfood.com or writing to the address given at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. In case of doubt, we reserve the right to require proof of your identity for requests.

Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend the content of this Privacy Policy at any time and without notice, unilaterally. It is therefore recommended that you consult our Privacy Policy on our website on a regular basis.
