Privacy Policy

General and Scope of Application
This privacy policy provides information on how It Piece Club collects, uses, and processes your personal data (hereinafter also referred to as "process" or "processing").

Personal data includes all information related to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is considered one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, particularly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more specific characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. This includes, for example, your name, phone number, address, as well as all inventory data you provide during registration and when creating your customer account. Statistical or anonymized data that cannot be directly associated with your person is not included.

Depending on the processing of personal data, either the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the corresponding Ordinance (VDSG) or the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies.

We collect and gather your data in the following cases:

  • Use of our website www.itpiececlub.com (hereinafter: "Website") including the webshop

  • Conclusion of a rental agreement or order in our webshop

  • Contact via email

Newsletter
You will only receive a newsletter from us when signing up for it on our website.  After registration, we will send you a confirmation email. When registering for the newsletter, your email address, along with your consent, will be used for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Unsubscribing is possible at any time but does not affect previous processing operations carried out before unsubscribing. We are authorized to engage third parties for the technical handling of advertising measures and are entitled to disclose your data for this purpose. However, disclosure of your data for other purposes is excluded unless you have given your consent.

Purpose of Collection
We primarily process your personal data to enable the use of our website, the conclusion and execution of rental agreements between us and the renters, and communication with users of the website or renters for marketing purposes. The processing also serves to regulate, analyze, and continuously improve our services and related products. In addition, processing is carried out for marketing purposes.

Scope of Collection
When you access and use our website, we automatically collect and store relevant data and device-specific information for a limited period. This involves the use of so-called "cookies." Such data and information include, in particular, the IP address, access data and times, the website from which our URL was accessed, and, if applicable, the search term used, the country from which access to our website is made, the operating system of your computer, and the browser used.

We process this data to enable you to use our website and for the operation, maintenance, and improvement of our website.

Contact via Email
Users of the website and renters can contact It Piece Club GmbH via email. It Piece Club GmbH only collects personal data received in this context to the extent necessary to respond to the inquiry or to provide our service.

Opening a Customer Account in the Webshop
To rent a product on the website, certain personal data must be provided. It is possible to create a customer account on the website, although this is not a prerequisite for renting a product. To conclude a rental agreement or create a customer account, the following personal data is collected:

  • First and last name

  • Company name (optional)

  • Street and house number

  • Postal code

  • City

  • Email address

  • Agreement to the terms and conditions and privacy policy

The above-mentioned personal data is required for the conclusion of the rental agreement or the processing of the order, namely the subsequent shipment of the product and the provision of our service. Currently, credit card payment is available to renters as a means of payment. For the processing of the rental agreement or order, It Piece Club GmbH forwards the relevant credit card information to the respective credit card issuer and the responsible credit card acquirer.

Cookies
To improve our product offering, we use so-called "cookies" on our websites. A "cookie" is a small text file that is transferred to your computer when you surf our pages. A cookie can only contain information that we send to your computer – private data cannot be read with it. If you accept cookies on our site, we do not have access to your personal information, but with the help of cookies, we can identify your computer. No personal data is stored in the cookies used, so we cannot draw conclusions about your identity based on cookie technology.

We use cookies to check if you meet our terms of use.

The data stored in our cookies is not linked to your personal data (name, address, etc.) without your explicit consent.

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties
We only disclose your personal data if you have explicitly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or if it is necessary to enforce our rights, especially to enforce claims from the contractual relationship. Furthermore, we only disclose your data to third parties to the extent necessary for the execution of the contract. For this purpose, we disclose your necessary data to subsidiaries, transport companies, banks, and other service providers. These service providers use your data exclusively for order processing and not for other purposes. It is contractually ensured that these service providers treat your data confidentially and in accordance with applicable legal regulations and use your data only for the purpose of the respective services.

We are also entitled to disclose your data to external service providers to protect your economic, legal, and intellectual interests (e.g., for marketing purposes or improving the online offering). In connection with software tools, we use services of Google Inc. ("Google Analytics"). The data collected in connection with the use of these software tools may be transferred to servers in the USA.

Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, and loss. This includes the issuance of instructions, regular backups, and the use of encryption techniques. However, we would like to point out that the transmission of data (especially via email) always involves certain security risks. For this reason, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted in this way.

Retention Period
We only process your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or the purposes pursued with the processing. After that, the relevant data is generally deleted to the extent possible. We would like to point out that certain data may be subject to special legal provisions that may obligate us to store this data until the end of the legally prescribed retention period.

Rights
You have the right to request detailed information about what personal data we have stored about you and how we process it, as well as to request a copy of your personal data. You are also entitled to have your personal data corrected or deleted, to restrict our processing activities regarding this data, and to object to the processing of your personal data. You can also revoke your consent to processing at any time. In this regard, we would like to point out that even in the event of revocation of consent, we may continue to process your personal data to the extent required or permitted by law.

If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please send us an email to hello@itpiececlub.com. If you are not satisfied with any aspect of the collection and use of your data, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the locally competent data protection supervisory authority, in Switzerland with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

Liability for Links
We expressly declare that at the time of setting the link, no illegal content was recognizable on the pages to be linked. We have no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, we expressly distance ourselves from all content on all linked pages that has been changed since the link was set. This statement applies to all links and references set within our own internet offering. The provider of the page to which reference is made, not the one who merely refers to the respective publication via links, is solely liable for illegal, incorrect, or incomplete content and, in particular, for damages arising from the use or non-use of such information.

Changes
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. If you are affected by a change to the privacy policy, we will inform you of such a change in an appropriate form. The privacy policy does not establish any contractual or other formal legal relationship with or on behalf of a party.
