ARVI SA, a joint-stock company under Swiss Law UID: CHE-110.590.911, with registered office in Via Pedemonte di Sopra 1, Melano (CH-6818), hereinafter referred to as the Company, is responsible, among other things, for the management of the online shop and this website. In this capacity, the Company therefore acts as the owner of the processing of data that, also through this site, are collected. The processing is carried out in compliance with the applicable federal regulations and the principles set out in the GDPR.

1. When you visit our website, our servers record temporary files.

  • Search words on the website;

Some of this data is automatically transmitted by the device with which you visit our website. If you wish to prevent this automatic transmission, you must access the settings of your browser or device and deactivate the transmission of personal data.

Regarding the rest, the request for a service or product implies that the Client agrees to provide the Company with the data necessary for the execution of the order.

Other data are instead intended for our marketing and communication activities, explicitly collected for this purpose.

  • Updated, rectified or (if the data is incomplete) integrated;
  • Date of birth (necessary to verify the legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages);
  • Deleted, if:
  • your data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed;
  • you have revoked your consent or you object to processing;
  • your data is processed unlawfully or must be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation;
  • Limited processing, if:
  • your data is not accurate or is processed unlawfully or you have objected to processing;
  • although the Company no longer needs the data for processing purposes, it is necessary for the Company to enforce your rights legally
  • Transferred to another data processor (“right to transfer”), if the processing is based on consent and is carried out by automated means

We would like to inform you that, in compliance with fiscal, administrative and customs obligations, the Company is required to retain a part of your personal data; see also the chapter "Duration of data retention", below.

Provided you believe, that despite your requests to ARVI and their responses, there has been a violation of your rights, please contact the Federal Data Protection and Transparency Commissioner, who can be reached at the following address: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch

1. The Company implements, through appropriate technical and organizational measures, the protection of your personal data against unauthorized processing and / or loss of the same. The technical systems are maintained, taking into account - appropriately - constant technological development.

The Company, in order to guarantee, not only the absolute discretion of services offered to its customers, but also a confidential management of personal data; the Company has further strengthened their policies used to process your personal data. You personal data is only accessible to the staff that need it to offer services and products requested by you.

In addition, our employees, as well as the service providers, are required to observe and ensure compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

1. The Client’s personal data is processed and stored in principle, for as long as it is necessary for the provision of the services requested by the Client (contractual basis) or in compliance with legal obligations (legal basis). In particular, the data is stored for the entire duration of the contractual relationship between the Company and the Client, for accounting and legal purposes (e.g. the obligation to store data for accounting purposes is 10 years). In any case, to the extent that the Company's legitimate interest in data retention lapses, the data shall be rendered anonymous or deleted.

1. The Company, in order to provide its services, in some cases, it must provide third parties (outsourcing) access to your data. Particularly, in the context of managing the website, sending newsletters, profiling, marketing purposes and above all, to enable payment for the goods or services ordered and delivery of the goods to the address indicated by the Client. In any case, any transmissions shall only take place to the extent that your consent is given (see point III. above) and/or to the extent that this is provided for and/or in accordance with applicable law. In any case, the Company's Partners contractually commit to ensure compliance with the applicable regulations.

2. In particular, in order to be able to provide its services, the Company uses a data center, called moresi.com, which it and it’s servers are based in Switzerland. In addition, ARVI may refer to other companies in the management of IT and other related services.

3. Your data is also transmitted to the transport companies, as this is necessary to fulfill an order; the companies in charge of the transport and all the necessary administrative procedures (import/export, customs clearance, insurance, etc.). See also in this respect the following paragraph (H).

1. In order to deliver the goods to places outside Switzerland, the Company must therefore provide part of the data received from the customer to third parties, in the recipient and/or transit countries (as the case may be). Usually, this is done through the carrier designated by the Company, which will therefore need all the necessary data to be able to carry out customs operations, import and export operations and other formalities required by the applicable legislation.

2. In Europe, the provisions of the GDPR are in force, as well as, the regulations of the individual European States, which therefore guarantees the citizen residing in Europe the protection of his/her personal data in accordance with the aforementioned regulations. In order to ensure the security of citizens’ personal data, the above-mentioned regulations prohibit the transfer of data to third parties when there is not a sufficient degree of security in regards to the handling of personal data. However, data may be transferred to third parties, on the basis of contractual agreements given that adequate security is offered, the provided consent of the person concerned, or the necessity of the transfer for the purposes of contractual measures or other overriding interests.

The Company cooperates with international transport companies that meet the required data protection standards. If the transport companies in charge cannot guarantee adequate protection, ARVI reserves the right to suspend the shipment of the goods, or to request the customer's explicit written authorization, with the assumption of responsibility, for any shipment. ARVI encourages the Client in such a case to consult a trusted lawyer before authorizing the transmission of data in such circumstances.

3. Clients that reside in Switzerland should be aware that the transmission of data in the United States, if not within the framework of the privacy shield program or in the event of appropriate contractual obligations, does not guarantee them adequate protection of personal data. Therefore, we encourage our Clients residing in Switzerland to properly consider whether or not to give their consent to data transmission in the United States.

With regards to Clients residing in the European Union, please note that the European Union considers that the United States does not have an adequate data protection system. Also in this case, the protection of privacy can take place through the adoption of contractual measures or through the privacy shield program.

The data transmitted abroad, as part of the shipment are:

  • first and last name of the recipient;
  • destination address;
  • contact person, telephone number or e-mail address, respectively;
  • company name and, if applicable, import license;
  • the contents of the consignment (accompanied by the documents required for customs and import-export formalities);
  • value of the goods (necessary for customs formalities)
