Data Protection

The protection of customer privacy is a top priority for Mavena. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. Here you can find out the principles according to which Mavena collects and processes personal data via this website.

The subject of this privacy policy is the collection, processing and use of data by the Mavena website.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done (as far as possible) on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that the transmission of data on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Legal Basis

If the data is processed for the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject, including pre-contractual measures, the legal basis is Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. If consent has been given, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of ours, Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. This applies, for example, to marketing (personalised offers about our products and services), provided you have not objected to the use of your data for marketing purposes.

Legitimate interests may include other interests in particular:

  • Answering enquiries;
  • Product improvements;
  • Operation and administration of the website;
  • The provision of services and/or information intended for you;
  • Analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and our advertising;

Contact us by e-mail or contact form

You have the option of contacting us in various ways. In particular, this includes contacting us using the contact form on our website or directly by e-mail.

If you send us a message via one of the contact options offered, we will use the data you provide us with for the purpose of processing your enquiry. Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to answer your enquiry, provided there are no legal obligations to retain it.

This is done on the basis of a legitimate interest (answering enquiries; Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or Art. 31 para. 1 FADP) and consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 31 para. 1 FADP.

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending an email to our contact details. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Social Media

Our website uses links to various social networks listed below, such as Instagram (hereinafter "networks"). The links are labelled with a logo. The connection to the provider is only established when you click on the provider's icon. Data is therefore not automatically transmitted to social media services when you visit our website. We have no influence over how the social media service providers process your data; further information on this can be found in the corresponding data protection declarations, which are linked below. Personal data is only transmitted to the operators of the social media service if you have given your consent by clicking on the corresponding icon. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 31 para. 1 FADP (consent).

Further Information
on this can be found in the individual data protection declarations:

 

Sweepstakes

Personal data will be stored for the duration of the competition for the purpose of processing the prize. In individual cases, the data will be passed on to external service providers.

Furthermore, the participant agrees that in the case of corresponding competitions, the photo or product review uploaded by him/her may be published with his/her full first name and the first letter of his/her surname both in connection with the competition and, if applicable, together with the prize, on the website, Facebook or Instagram page of Mavena after our approval. The participant is responsible for the legal conformity of the uploaded photos, in particular the rights to the image. Mavena reserves the right not to release photos or texts with content that is obviously not legally compliant (these photos will not be shown publicly and will be excluded from the competition).

Data processing is based on the legal basis of the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject, including pre-contractual measures in accordance with Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and consent (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

The participant is free to revoke their consent to the storage of data at any time at info@mavena.com and thus withdraw from participation.

News Subscription

If you would like to receive the news notifications offered on our website, we require an e-mail address as well as your title, surname and first name. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information.

Data processing is therefore based on consent (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can object to receiving newsletters at any time and you can also unsubscribe directly at any time using the link provided in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the cancellation.

If you have subscribed to a newsletter, we may store the unsubscribed e-mail addresses for the statutory retention period on the basis of our legitimate interests (administrative purposes; Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) before we delete them in order to be able to prove that consent was previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims.

Experience Form

You can share your experience with our products by completing the relevant form. The personal data you enter in the form will only be used to process the form and to improve the product.

Data processing is therefore based on consent (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and the legitimate interest in product improvement (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Data Transfer

If this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contracts, we transfer your personal data to external service providers. This occurs in particular in the context of hosting. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR or Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a FADP.

We would like to point out that it is possible that your data may be processed by our service providers in Switzerland, the EU/EEA as well as in countries that do not have adequate data protection in accordance with the applicable data protection law. If we use such providers in insecure countries, we contractually oblige the recipient to comply with the applicable data protection law. The transfer is based in particular on Art. 46 para. 1 lit. c GDPR or Art. 16 para. 2 lit. d FADP (conclusion of the adapted EU standard contractual clauses which can be accessed here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?) unless the recipient is already subject to a legally recognised set of rules to ensure data protection and we cannot rely on an exemption provision. An exception may apply in particular in the case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interests or if the fulfilment of a contract requires such disclosure, if you have given your consent or if the data in question has been made generally accessible by you and you have not objected to its processing.

 

Retention period of your data

We only store your data for as long as is legally required or necessary for the purpose of processing. In the case of analyses, we store your data until the analysis has been completed. If we store data on the basis of a contractual relationship with you, this data will remain stored for at least as long as the contractual relationship exists and at most as long as limitation periods for possible claims from us run or statutory or contractual retention obligations exist.

Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure personal data.

The website uses a security certificate. This encrypts the connections between the website and visitors. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the lock symbol in the address bar of the browser and by the fact that the website address begins with https:// instead of http://.

Rights of data sujects

You have the right to request information about which data about you is being processed. You also have the right to request the rectification, erasure or restriction of the processing of your data and, where applicable, the right to data portability.

You can also object to the use of your data for marketing purposes and revoke any consent you have given to data processing.

These rights apply insofar as no statutory retention obligations or other legitimate interests conflict with the request. If applicable to you, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.

You can assert your rights at the contact address given above.

Changes to the privacy policy

This privacy policy can be amended at any time; the version published on the website applies.
