1. Controller and scope
BO Stores is a trading brand of BO Sàrl and is not a separate legal entity. BO Sàrl is the controller for data processing connected with this website and enquiries addressed to BO Stores.
This policy is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and its Ordinance. The GDPR may also apply where its territorial scope is engaged.
2. Website visits and hosting
The website is hosted by Vercel Inc. To deliver, secure and diagnose the service, Vercel may process technical data such as IP address, date and time, requested page, referrer URL, browser, device, operating system and error information.
This data is used for operation, security, abuse prevention and technical analysis. It is retained only as long as necessary under the provider's settings and obligations.
3. Quote requests and contact
The quote form sends your contact details, project address, products, dimensions, work requirements and contact preferences to BO Stores by email to handle your request. No user account is created. If you contact us, we process the information you choose to provide, including your name, contact details, enquiry, photographs or documents and communication metadata.
We use this data to respond, prepare quotations, perform contracts, manage projects and meet legal obligations. Business correspondence may be retained for the statutory Swiss retention periods.
4. Google Analytics, Ads and Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft Clarity loads only after you consent to usage measurement. This Microsoft service helps us understand clicks, scrolling and navigation through heatmaps and session recordings. The quote form and its summary are masked for Clarity. After consent, Clarity may use cookies including _clck and _clsk to connect visits and pages within a session. Your choice is sent to Clarity and can be changed through “Cookie settings” in the footer.
The website uses Google Tag Manager to manage Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads. With your consent, these services measure pages viewed, sessions, approximate region, device type and contact clicks to improve the site and evaluate campaign performance.
Analytics and advertising storage, user data and ad personalisation are denied by default. Depending on Google Consent Mode, technical signals without cookies may nevertheless be sent to Google. We do not intentionally send directly identifying details such as your name, email address or telephone number to Google Analytics.
5. Cookies and privacy choices
Your choice is saved locally in your browser under the key bo-stores-google-consent-v1 for 180 days. This information is necessary to remember your preference.
After consent, Google Analytics may use _ga and _ga_<identifier> cookies to distinguish visitors and sessions, generally for up to two years depending on Google's configuration. Google Ads may use additional advertising identifiers. You can withdraw consent at any time through “Cookie settings” in the footer or by deleting browser data.
6. External links and services
Links to WhatsApp, Google Maps, BO Fenster and other websites lead to external services. Their operators process data under their own rules when you open them. WhatsApp is optional; you can also contact us by telephone or email.
7. Purposes and legal grounds
We process data only to provide and secure the website, answer enquiries, prepare and perform services, improve communications, measure campaigns and meet legal obligations.
Where the GDPR applies, processing is based as appropriate on consent, pre-contractual steps or a contract, a legal obligation, or our legitimate interest in operating a secure website and managing our business.
8. Recipients and international transfers
Data may be accessible to our staff and necessary providers, particularly Vercel, Google, Microsoft and, if used, WhatsApp/Meta. Processing may occur in Switzerland, the EEA, the United States or other countries.
For international transfers, we use safeguards recognised under Swiss law, including adequacy decisions, the Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified, or appropriate contractual clauses.
9. Retention
We retain data for the period required for its purpose, then delete or anonymise it. Enquiries that do not proceed are generally deleted when no longer useful. Contractual and accounting records are retained for applicable statutory periods. Providers' own retention is governed by their settings and policies.
10. Security
We use proportionate technical and organisational measures to protect data against loss, unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure. Internet transmission can never be guaranteed to be entirely risk-free.
11. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion or delivery of your data, object to certain processing, and withdraw consent for the future. We may request proof of identity. Send requests to info@bostores.ch.
You may also contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
12. Automated decisions and changes
BO Sàrl does not make automated individual decisions with legal effects through this website.
We may update this policy when the website, providers or law changes. The version published here is the current version.
