The personal data collected from you (Registration Data, Order Data and User Data) are stored lawfully and as specified by the applicable data protection provisions. Your data will, of course, be treated confidentially.
Your Registration Data and Order Data will be used to perform the agreements concluded between you and us, particularly for delivering ordered products to the address provided by you. The legal basis for this processing is performance of the agreement, respectively conducting precontractual activities. The provision of these personal data is a contractual requirement. If you do not provide these personal data, you cannot set up a customer account or order any products, as applicable.
If we have received your e-mail address in connection with the purchase of a product or service, we will use your e-mail address for advertising similar products or services of our own. You can opt out of this use of your e-mail address for these purposes at any time without incurring any cost other than the applicable transmission costs at the basic rates. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests in processing personal data for direct advertising.
Furthermore, provided you have given your consent, your data may be used for purposes of internal marketing research or designing our product line to meet our customers' needs, as well as for sending e-mails containing information about our offerings, i.e. products and services that may interest you (e.g., tours). For purposes of market research and to design our product line in a goal-oriented manner so as to meet our customers' needs on all our sales channels, your data, which have been collected via several different communications channels and systems for mail order, over-the-counter trade and online trade, will be merged into a centralised electronic customer database, analysed and used for marketing campaigns. The legal basis for this processing is your consent.

These include, for example, e-mail receipt and read confirmations, information about the computer and operating system used, orders already placed, date and time of your visit to our website, as well as products viewed by you. The legal basis for this processing is your consent.

Your Registration Data, Order Data and User Data will be processed by persons in departments of Mammut who need to know the personal data.
Your Registration Data, Order Data and User Data will also be transmitted to affiliated companies of Mammut. Disclosure is made for the purpose of centralised storage, evaluation and management of administrative tasks, as well as for marketing purposes. The legal bases for the disclosure are the legitimate interests of Mammut, particularly internal management purposes, as well as marketing purposes.

Your data will be transmitted to Switzerland and stored there securely.
For purposes of delivering goods and processing payments, we transmit the necessary data to logistics companies and payment service providers. These service providers are carefully selected and contractually obligated to treat your data confidentially and to use them exclusively for purposes of making the delivery or processing payment, as applicable.
Furthermore, unless this Data Protection Policy specifies otherwise, we will only disclose your personal data to third parties if we are authorised or obligated to do this based on legal provisions or official or court orders or if you have given us your express consent to do this.
If we are required to provide our service in advance, for example, in case of a purchase on account, we may carry out a credit check with a credit agency in order to uphold our justified interests on the basis of mathematical and statistical processes, if applicable. To this end, Mammut will provide your name, postal address, shopping cart, the invoice amount, your customer history (i.e., whether, by the time of the purchase, Mammut has had positive or negative payment experiences with you), and, if direct debit is used, your bank details and, if necessary, your date of birth, to carefully selected service providers. These service providers will verify whether any negative indicators exist regarding your credit and then determine your "score value". The "score value" utilises known empirical values and a mathematical statistical procedure, including the use of postal address data, to predict the risk of potential non-payment. If the outcome of the credit check is negative, you will only be offered the option to use payment methods in connection with which we do not provide our service in advance. If the outcome of the credit check is positive, we will provide the service in advance. The legal bases for the disclosure of your personal data to selected service suppliers and for processing the scoring value are our legitimate interests, particularly protecting against non-payment and preventing fraud, as well as the legitimate interests of consumers, such as protecting against excessive debt.

If you give your consent, your data (name, surname, street, house number, postal code, city, date of birth, telephone number and, in the case of direct debit purchases, the bank account details provided) and data relating to your order will be transmitted to Klarna / Billpay.
