For further details, please refer to section 8 “Automated data collection and processing on our website”;
Behavior and preference data: Depending on our relationship to you, we will try to get to know you and target our products, services and offers to you better. To this end, we collect and use data on your behavior and preferences. We do this by evaluating information about your behavior in our area, and we can also supplement this information with information from third parties, including from publicly accessible sources. On this basis for this, for instance, we can calculate the likelihood that you will take up particular services or behave in a particular way. The data we process to this end may already be known to us (e.g. when you use our services) or we can obtain this data by recording your behavior (e.g. how you navigate on our website). We describe how tracking works on our website in section 8.
Voluntary information: This includes data that you provide to DataStore on a voluntary basis without DataStore specifically asking for it, such as special marketing preferences, etc.
Third-party data: If you provide DataStore with personal data of third parties (e.g. subcontractors, employees, etc.) in the course of a business transaction, we also process this data.
We collect and process data from the following persons (hereinafter “Business Partners”):
Registered and non-registered visitors to our website;
Contacts and employees of manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, vendors and providers of the products and services we request;
Customers, purchasers and recipients/beneficiaries or interested parties of our products and services (including warranty, repair and service services) or their contacts and employees;

Recipients of our newsletters; participants of market research and opinion surveys conducted by DataStore; participants of courses, seminars and events offered by DataStore;

The aforementioned personal data is generally collected directly from the data subjects in the course of using the website, when requesting or using products or services, participating in market or other surveys, at our events or in direct communication with us via e-mail, telephone or other means.
However, the data may also be collected indirectly, namely when transactions are made for the benefit of or for delivery to a business partner by another business partner, on the recommendation of third parties (e.g. recommendation by acquaintances of the business partner) or by obtaining or purchasing supplementary information from third party data sources (e.g. social media, address dealers).
4. Purpose of processing and legal basis
We process the data of business partners – to the extent permitted by applicable law – in particular, but not exclusively, for the following purposes:
For the conclusion and processing of your contractual relationship as well as for the processing of your inquiries or your orders (Art. 30 and Art. 31 para. 1 and para. 2 let. a DPA / Art. 6 para. 1 let. b GDPR): In this context, the purposes of the data processing depend on the intended transaction. We collect this data in order to provide you with our services or to be able to obtain such services from you;
For the operation of our website (Art. 30 as well as Art. 31 para. 1 and para. 2 let. b DPA / Art. 6 para. 1 let. b and f GDPR): This includes, in particular, the administration of the users of the website and the activities carried out on it, the operation and further development of the website, ensuring a problem-free connection setup, the evaluation of system security and stability and other administrative purposes. Your data collected in this context will not be used to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind is only evaluated statistically by DataStore in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it, to combat abuse, for the purposes of legal investigations, proceedings and to respond to inquiries from authorities.
For process and offer optimization (Art. 30 as well as Art. 31 para. 1 and para. 2 let. e DPA / Art. 6 para. 1 let. a and f GDPR): This includes quality control, the preparation of statistics, budgets, management information as well as their evaluation, market research, the further development of products, services as well as the company and its processes;
For marketing and advertising purposes (Art. 30 as well as Art. 31 para. 1 DPA / Art. 6 para. 1 let. a and f GDPR): This includes customer loyalty, the implementation of customer loyalty programs, the optimization of customer offers, market or opinion research as well as the implementation of customer events. You may object to any processing or use of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time. The objection must be addressed to the person responsible;
To comply with legal and regulatory requirements (Art. 30 as well as Art. 31 para. 1 DPA / Art. 6 para. 1 let. c GDPR): We process your data to fulfill the legal obligations to which we are subject. This includes the processing of data in the context of obligations to provide information to authorities as well as compliance with tax and / or commercial regulations (e.g. retention obligations of business and accounting records);
For the sale or purchase of business units, companies or parts of companies and other transactions under company law (Art. 30 as well as Art. 31 para. 1 DPA / Art. 6 para. 1 let. a and f GDPR).
In the aforementioned purposes also lies our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 31 para. 1 DPA or Art. 6 para. 1 let. f GDPR.
Processing of personal data for purposes other than those described will only take place if permitted by law or if you have consented to the changed purpose of the data processing. In the event of further processing for purposes other than those for which the data was originally collected, we will inform you about these other purposes before further processing and provide you with all relevant information.
5. Categories of recipients of data
In principle, your personal data will only be passed on to the recipients named below without your express prior consent:
Public bodies and authorities: If it is necessary to clarify an illegal use of our services or for legal prosecution, personal data will be forwarded to law enforcement authorities and, if necessary, to injured third parties. However, this only happens if there are concrete indications of unlawful or abusive behavior. A transfer may also take place if this serves the enforcement in terms of use or other agreements. We are also legally obligated to provide information to certain public authorities upon request. These are law enforcement agencies, authorities that prosecute administrative offenses subject to fines and the tax authorities. The disclosure of this data is based on our legitimate interest in combating abuse, prosecuting criminal offenses and securing, asserting and enforcing claims, Art. 30 and Art. 31 para. 1 DPA as well as Art. 6 para. 1 let. f GDPR.
Processors: We rely on contractually affiliated third-party companies and external service providers (“processors”) to provide our services. In such cases, personal data is disclosed to these processors to enable them to continue processing. These processors are carefully selected and regularly reviewed by DataStore. The processors may only use the data for the purposes specified by DataStore and are also contractually obligated by DataStore to treat your data exclusively in accordance with this privacy policy and the applicable data protection laws.
DataStore uses the following processors:
Subcontractors and cooperation partners engaged by DataStore to provide the services owed to you.
Companies for the purpose of centralized order processing and financial accounting.
Logistics service provider to ship the products, marketing materials or other items you order from DataStore.
Payment service providers to process payments from you to DataStore or vice versa;
Service provider for collection services, advertising and marketing, sending newsletters or conducting customer surveys.
IT service provider for the provision of cloud services, software and hardware, and for carrying out maintenance work.
Software provider for the use of communication offers with customers, in particular also for the implementation of event offers.
The transfer of data to processors takes place based on Art. 9 DPA or Art. 28 (1) GDPR, alternatively on the basis of our legitimate interest in the economic and technical advantages associated with the use of specialized processors and the fact that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not prevail, Art. 31 (1) DPA or Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.
Suppliers: We permit suppliers to view the data we process as part of checks and audits on compliance with manufacturer requirements (e.g. on billing or compliance with credit limits, Article 31 (1) and Article 2 (a) DPA/Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR).
6. Data transmission abroad
Your personal data is generally processed in Switzerland. However, we may transfer your data to trusted recipients in third countries (both in Europe and worldwide).
This is done on the basis of a so-called adequacy decision of the Federal Council or the European Commission. If a recipient is in a country without appropriate legal data protection, we oblige them to comply with applicable data protection on the basis of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 16 (2) DPA or Article 46 (2) GDPR, in particular so-called standard contractual clauses, which have also been issued by the European Commission or recognized, issued or approved by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). We may not impose an obligation of this nature if an exception applies. An exception can apply in the event of legal proceedings abroad, as well as in cases of overriding public interest, if processing a contract requires disclosure abroad, if you have consented to this, or if this is generally accessible data and you have not objected to its processing.
In the present case, it cannot be ruled out that we transmit personal data to recipients in the USA. Please also note that data exchanged via the Internet is often routed via third countries. Your data may therefore end up abroad even if the sender and recipient are in the same country.
7. Duration of storage
We store your personal data until the purpose on which the processing is based (see section 4 above) no longer applies. If we are legally obligated to store personal data, the data will be stored for the duration of the legal obligation. For commercial documents, which include financial accounting and the supporting documents (including invoices), this is up to 10 years. If necessary, your data will be blocked for ongoing operations during this time, provided that there is no other purpose for the processing.
8. Automated data collection and processing on our website
Our website uses the technologies and tools described below to enable us and third parties engaged by us to recognize you when you use our website and, under certain circumstances, to track you across multiple visits. If you do not wish to use them, we will provide you with various options and settings for the respective tool to prevent their use. Unless otherwise noted, your personal data is processed in this respect on the legal basis of your consent under Article 31 (1) DPA or Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent until revocation.
a. Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific information related to the user on the user’s terminal device while the user is using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze behavior patterns of page use, but also make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. We will ask for your consent before we use cookies that serve purposes beyond those purely necessary (e.g. for performance or marketing). You can revoke this consent at any point via the cookie settings. Alternatively, you can set your Internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.
A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of the services, especially in the case of tracking, via the U.S. site www.aboutads.info or the EU site www.youronlinechoices.com. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offer can then be used.
b. SSL-/TLS-encryption
Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to DataStore as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to DataStore cannot be read by third parties.
c. Contact form
If you send DataStore inquiries via the contact form, your data from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by DataStore for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions.
By pressing the query, you consent to the corresponding processing of your data. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. We do not pass on the data from the contact form to third parties without your consent.
d. Newsletter data
For actively registered customers (resellers and managed service providers) we offer the possibility to register for the free newsletter offered on this website. For this purpose, we obtain from you an e-mail address and information that allows DataStore to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter in every newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send your revocation to the following e-mail address .
e. Google Maps
Our website uses the offer of Google Maps. This allows DataStore to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to comfortably use the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US
f. Google Ads
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Ads will set a “cookie” (see section 8. a. above) on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads customers’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com” are blocked.
Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using Google Ads is Art. 30 and Art. 31 para. 1 DPA and Art. 6 para. 1 let. f GDPR.
g. Google Remarketing
Our website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A “cookie” is stored in the browser of the website visitor (see section 8. a. above), which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, the visitor can be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function.
According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you nevertheless do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can generally deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using Google Remarketing is Art. 30 and Art. 31 para. 1 DPA and Art. 6 para. 1 let. f GDPR.
h. Google reCAPTCHA
Our website uses the reCAPTCHA service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland “Google”). The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further used there. However, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In the event of a corresponding order from our side, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data from Google. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA in the process.
By pressing the query, you consent to the corresponding processing of your data. The processing is thus based on Art. 31 (1) DPA or Art. 6 (1) a GDPR with your consent.
You can find more information about Google reCAPTCHA and the associated privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.
i. Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller on our website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. Our website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under “My data”, “Personal data”.
We have configured the service so that Google truncates the IP addresses within Europe before forwarding them to the USA, meaning it is not possible for them to be traced back. We have deactivated the settings for “data disclosure” and “signals”.
While we can therefore assume that the information we share with Google is not personal data for Google, it is possible for Google to use this data for its own purposes to draw conclusions about visitors’ identities, to create personal profiles and to link this data to a person’s Google accounts. If you consent to the use of Google Analytics, you are explicitly consenting to processing of this nature, which also includes the transmission of personal data (in particular, usage data for the website and app, device information and individual IDs) to the USA and other countries. As a result, the legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent under Article 31 (1) DPA and Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Google Analytics uses cookies. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics.
Furthermore, you can prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. This will save a so-called opt-out cookie on your data carrier, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your terminal device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, i.e. you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/end device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.
j. LinkedIn und XING
We use the marketing services of the social networks LinkedIn of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”) and XING, Grosse Bleichen 27, Kaisergalerie, 20354 Hamburg, Germany (“XING”) within our online offer.
These use cookies to analyze the use of the website. This allows DataStore, for example, to measure the success of our advertisements and to show users products in which they were previously interested. For example, information on the operating system, the browser, the website you previously visited (referrer URL), which websites the user visited, which offers the user clicked on, and the date and time of your visit to our website is collected.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted pseudonymously to a server of LinkedIn and XING also in the European Union and the USA and stored there. LinkedIn and XING therefore do not store the name or email address of the respective user. Rather, the above-mentioned data is only assigned to the person for whom the cookie was generated. This does not apply if the user has allowed LinkedIn or XING to process without pseudonymization or has a LinkedIn and/or XING account.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also object to the use of your data directly at LinkedIn and XING:
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out
XING: https://privacy.xing.com/en
We use LinkedIn Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics obtained enable DataStore to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
If we ask for consent for the use of “LinkedIn” and “XING”, the legal basis for the processing of the corresponding data is Art. 31 para. 1 DPA and Art. 6 para. 1 let. a GDPR. Third-party provider information: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2 Ireland; https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/3537/aktualisierte-nutzervereinbarung-und-datenschutzrichtlinie?lang=en
k. Newsletter – Mailchimp
The newsletter is sent using the dispatch service provider ‘MailChimp’, a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
The dispatch service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.
l. YouTube
Functions of the “YouTube” services are integrated on our website. “YouTube” is owned by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under the laws of Ireland, with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
Your legal agreement with “YouTube” consists of the terms and conditions found at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=de&template=terms&hl=en. These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and “YouTube” regarding your use of the Services. Google’s Privacy Policy explains how “YouTube” treats and protects your personal information when you use the service.
m. Instagram
We have integrated features from Instagram into our website. Instagram is a social media platform operated by the company Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA, a subsidiary of Meta Platform Inc., which also operates “Facebook”.
By embedding Instagram content, we are able to show you content from Instagram, such as buttons, photos or videos, on our website directly. If you access websites within our online presence that have an integrated Instagram feature, data is transmitted to Instagram, processed and stored on servers around the world, including in the USA. Instagram primarily stores your data via cookies. You can manage, deactivate or delete these cookies via your browser (see section 8.a of this privacy policy for details).
If you have consented to your data being processed and stored by integrated social media elements, this consent is taken as the basis for data processing (Article 31 (1) (a) DPA or Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). In principle, your data is also processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Articles 30 and 31 DPA and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in good, swift communication with you or other customers and business partners. Nevertheless, we only use the integrated social media elements if you have consented to this.

Right to erasure (Art. 30 para. 3 DPA or Art. 17 GDPR): You also have the right to demand that we erase your personal data. We are obliged to delete, among other things, if you expressly prohibit DataStore from processing and there is no justifiable reason for further processing, if your personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, if you have revoked consent once given, or if the data was processed unlawfully.
