General remarks
Data protection is very important to us. Tellknives is committed to respecting your privacy. For this reason, Tellknives only collects personal data that is absolutely necessary for the performance of its activities. Your data is treated with the utmost care. In doing so, Tellknives guarantees that everyone has the right to privacy and protection against the misuse of personal data, as laid down in Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution. This website complies with this provision.
However, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that any transmission of data via a network, such as the Internet or e-mail, involves risks, in particular that of third parties seizing information without your or our consent. Although Tellknives makes every effort to mitigate this risk, we cannot guarantee the complete confidentiality of information exchanged between you and us, or between you and third parties using our services. Thus, if you exchange information, you are aware that it could be read by third parties, and you explicitly accept the consequences.
We do not accept responsibility for any damage (direct or indirect) that may arise from access to our services and our site. It is the user's responsibility to protect the data on his or her computer or other data storage medium by any appropriate technical means, and to ensure that the contents of such media do not present any security risk to us.
Although we have chosen to host your data in Switzerland, you should also be aware that information exchanged via the Internet or e-mail may pass through a multitude of countries without our knowledge. As some countries do not have the same data protection requirements, you agree that your data may transit through other countries and may be subject to other data protection legislation.
Scope of application
This privacy policy applies to the Tellknives website at the "tellknives.ch" domain, as well as to personal data collected via these sites. It may be modified at any time without prior notice. Third-party sites linked to the Tellknives site are subject to their own privacy policies.
Tellknives has no influence on the external sites to which it links, nor on the external sites that link to its site. We cannot therefore guarantee the reliability or security of these sites (false information, viruses, malware, etc.). The content and services offered are the responsibility of the third parties concerned. Tellknives declines all responsibility.
Processing of personal data
Storage and deletion
The Tellknives website only processes the data required to carry out the company's activities and, where applicable, the data you choose to provide. Personal data is kept only as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. The retention of your personal data is therefore linked to whether your customer account is "active" or "cancelled".
Storage of form data
When you fill in a form (e.g. contact form), only the data required to fulfill the intended purpose is processed. As a rule, fields are optional. A field is compulsory only if it relates to data that Tellknives needs to complete a task or respond to your request.
Registration for newsletter subscriptions
When registering for a newsletter, you will be asked to provide only the data you require.
Cookies
Our Tellknives site uses cookies to make browsing more pleasant and to provide certain functions. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer. Most cookies are deleted from your hard drive when you close your browser (session cookies). Others remain on your computer and are able to recognize you if you return to the same site (permanent cookies).
You can block the use of cookies in your browser by limiting or disabling their storage and reading. Without cookies, however, you will not be able to use all the functions offered by our site.
Social networks and other third-party services
Tellknives has various accounts and profiles on social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.), its own YouTube channel and several applications. These sites and services are offered and managed by third parties. Each has its own privacy policy.
In addition, third-party services such as YouTube, Google Ads, the Google personalized search engine and Instagram are integrated by features on the Tellknives site. These providers also use cookies. When using the Tellknives site, users automatically transmit data to these providers. These cases are expressly subject to the data protection rules of the suppliers concerned. Users should therefore be aware that data may be collected and transmitted to third parties. If a user is simultaneously connected to an account of another service, the information transmitted may be directly associated with this account.
Tellknives has no influence on the collection and use of this data. Tellknives has no knowledge of the scope of the data stored, where it is stored, how long it is stored, whether any deletion rules are observed, what evaluations and associations are made with this data, or to whom it is transmitted.
