DATA PROTECTION

The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data are data that can be used to personally identify you. The present privacy policy explains which data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

Gotthardstrasse 28
CH-6302 Zug

Email: request@uniking-europe.com

Responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

STORAGE PERIOD

As long as no specific storage duration is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will occur after the reasons for retention no longer apply.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING ON THIS WEBSITE

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be based on § 25 para. 1 TTDSG.

NOTICE ON DATA TRANSFER TO THE USA AND OTHER THIRD COUNTRIES

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not considered to have adequate data protection. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no data protection level comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to hand over personal data to security authorities, without you as the affected party being able to take legal action against it. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT MARKETING (ART. 21 DSGVO)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PAR. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS. (WIDERSPRUCH NACH ART. 21 ABS. 1 DSGVO).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES. (WIDERSPRUCH NACH ART. 21 ABS. 2 DSGVO).

RIGHT TO COMPLAIN TO THE COMPETENT SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

In the event of violations of the GDPR, the affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT PROCESSING

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a Member State, apart from their storage.
