The responsible authority in the sense of the applicable Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP, "nLPD") is:
Responsible party: Belimport SA
Via Antonio Adamini 20
6900 Lugano
Switzerland
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, shall always comply with applicable Swiss data protection regulations (FADP). By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights through this data protection declaration.
Privacy information for consumers and customers For the purpose of pre-contractual measures and/or fulfilling orders or providing services, we process personal data such as your address and contact details, information on conversations held, your requirements, offers, and other information received from you. In the case of B2B customers, we also process information, in particular, contact details of our business contacts. For payment processing, we process data on your bank details if necessary. If external partners are involved in providing services or fulfilling orders, the necessary information may be shared with these third parties. IT systems such as ERP systems and financial accounting software are used to process data. Service providers may have access to these systems for maintenance purposes, with whom we conclude appropriate contractual agreements for data processing. Additional data protection information can be found in other sections of this declaration.
Legal basis for processing personal data
For processing operations where we obtain consent, Art. 31 para. 1 FADP serves as the legal basis for our company. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, for example for delivering goods or providing services, the processing is based on Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a FADP. This also applies to processing necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as responding to inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to legal obligations requiring data processing, such as tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 31 para. 2 lit. b FADP. In rare cases, processing may become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Art. 31 para. 2 lit. c FADP).
Finally, processing operations may be based on legitimate interests according to Art. 31 para. 1 FADP. Processing operations not covered by the aforementioned bases may rely on this legal basis if necessary for protecting legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject do not override these interests.
Purposes of data processing by Belimport and third parties We process your personal data solely for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We will only transfer your personal data to third parties if:
you have explicitly given consent,
the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you,
the processing is required to comply with a legal obligation,
the processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests, provided there are no overriding legitimate interests on your part.
Transfer of data to third countries
We do not transfer personal data outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area unless appropriate guarantees and data protection standards are ensured.
Deletion or blocking of data We adhere to the principles of data minimization and proportionality. We store your personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the stated purposes or as required by statutory retention periods. After the purpose ceases or the periods expire, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted according to legal requirements.
Legal or contractual requirements for providing personal data; necessity for contract conclusion
Providing personal data may be required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or contractual provisions. Sometimes providing personal data is necessary for concluding a contract, and failure to provide the data could mean the contract cannot be concluded. Before providing personal data, please contact us. We will inform you on a case-by-case basis whether providing personal data is required by law or contractually necessary, the obligation to provide it, and the consequences of not providing such data.
Automated decision-making Belimport does not use automated decision-making or profiling.
Your rights as a data subject At any time, you can exercise the following rights:
Information about your stored data and its processing
Correction of incorrect personal data
Deletion of your personal data
Restriction of data processing if deletion is not yet possible due to legal obligations
Objection to data processing by us
Data portability, provided that you have consented or concluded a contract with us
Revocation of consent with effect for the future

Description and scope of data processing
You can contact us using the e-mail addresses provided vertrieb@merida-centurion.com, marketing@merida-centurion.com and service@merida-centurion.com. In this case, your personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored in our system.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for processing the data is, if and as long as your consent is available, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (see above III. (2) 1.).
The legal basis for processing the data that is transmitted as part of a sent e-mail is additionally Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (see above III. (2) 5.). If the e-mail contact is already targeting the conclusion of an agreement, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (see above III. (2) 2.) is also an additional legal basis for processing.
Purpose of data processing
Processing personal data from an e-mail sent to us is used solely to process the contact. This also covers the necessary justified interest in processing the data if they are processed based on Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR.
Storage period
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve the purpose they were collected for in the first place. For personal data that was sent via e-mail, this is then the case if the respective conversation with the user is over. The conversation is over when it is understood from the circumstances that the relevant matter has been conclusively clarified.
Objection and removal options
You have the option of revoking your consent to have your personal data processed at any time. If you contact us using the e-mail contact form, you can request that your personal data no longer be stored. In such a case, however, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data that was saved during the e-mail contact process will be deleted in this case.
SSL encryption
In order to protect your transmitted data, we use SSL encryption. You can identify this type of encrypted connection with the prefix “https://” in the page link in your browser’s URL line. All data that you transmit to our website – for example when using our contact forms – cannot be read by third parties thanks to SSL encryption.
