3. General and mandatory information
Data protection
The owners of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We will keep your personal data confidential and handle them in accordance with statutory provisions on data protection and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected.
Personal data means any data by which you can be identified personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that transferring data over the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information regarding the data controller
The controller for data processing on this website is:
Mems AG
Bruggerstrasse 30
CH-5413 Birmenstorf
Telephone: +41 56 470 92 00
E-Mail:
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses and the like).
Retention period
Unless a more specific retention period has been named within this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for the data processing lapses. If you assert a justified erasure request or revoke a consent to data processing, your data shall be erased provided we have no other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or trade law); in the latter case, the erasure takes place once these grounds lapse.
Note on data disclosure to the USA and other third-party states
Tools, among other things, of companies based in the USA or other third-party states that are not secure under data protection law are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third-party states and processed there. We advise that no data protection level comparable to the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obligated to issue personal data to security authorities without you as the affected person being able to raise court proceedings against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) will process your data found on US servers for monitoring purposes, evaluate them and store them permanently. We do not have any influence on these processing activities.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many instances of data processing are possible only with your express consent. You can withdraw any consent already given at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF POINT (E) OR (F) OF ART 6(1) GDPR, YOU WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU RAISE OBJECTIONS, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THESE REASONS UNLESS WE HAVE PROOF OF COMPELLING AND LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR PROCESSING WHICH PREVAIL OVER YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR WHERE THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS MARKETING AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING PROFILING IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the case of violations of the GDPR, the persons concerned have a right to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the suspected violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or legal remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the data which we process automatically based on your consent or in the performance of a contract or have them transmitted to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Where you request the direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will be done only where technically feasible.
SSL and / or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect confidential contents such as orders or queries which you send to us as owners of the site, this site uses SSL and / or TLS encryption. You can tell an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion and correction
Under applicable legal provisions, you have the right, at any time and free of charge, of access to your personal data stored by us and to information about their source and recipients and the purposes of the data processing and, where appropriate, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. Regarding this and other questions concerning personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was / is carried out unlawfully, you may request that the data processing be restricted instead of deleted.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you do need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data instead of deleting it.
- If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may be processed – apart from their storage – only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Newsletter data
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter provided on the website, we will need your email address as well as information allowing us to verify that you are the owner of the email address given and agree to receiving the newsletter. No further data are collected except on a voluntary basis. We will use these data solely for sending out the information requested and not pass them on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is solely on the basis of your consent in accordance with point (a) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent given to storing the data and the email address and to using the email address to send out the newsletter at any time, for example by using the 'unsubscribe' link in the newsletter. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of data processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
The data you have given us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and erased from the newsletter mailing list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or once the purpose of your data being held has lapsed. We reserve the right to erase or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter mailing list at our own discretion as part of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.
After you have been removed from the newsletter mailing list, we and/or the newsletter service provider may store your e-mail address in a blacklist in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist are used for this purpose only and are not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in compliance with the legal specifications for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is permanent. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
We use Mailchimp as our Newsletter tool. Learn more about Mailchimp's privacy practices here.
