5.1       Outsourcing

In order to be able to offer you our goods and services, we collaborate with various service providers, e.g.

• IT service providers, so that we have up-to-the-minute infrastructure at our disposal, as well as for sending newsletters and hosting the online shop www.drinkdirect.ch;
• Payment service providers for the purpose of processing payment transactions (e.g. financial institutions, payment services) for orders;
• Logistics companies, e.g. delivery services, so that we can deliver our goods to you;
• Debt collection service providers or consumer reporting agencies, as far as is necessary for exercising our rights.

The above service providers use your data only in the context of processing orders for us and for our service provision (subject to deviating information in this Privacy Policy).

We transfer data to locations outside Switzerland and the European Union (third countries) only if the recipient country has legislation guaranteeing adequate data protection. If the recipient country does not have legislation guaranteeing adequate data protection, we will disclose your data only if you have consented to this disclosure, if it is necessary for the preservation of overriding interests, or if the security of your data is ensured by the conclusion of contractual guarantees.

5.2       Credit checks

Before a payment method selection list is displayed to you, a pre-authorization procedure including a credit check takes place. In the event of a positive authorization result, “Purchase on account” and “Purchase by installment” will be offered for selection as one of the possible payment options. Your data will be disclosed to Accarda AG, Birkenstrasse 21, 8606 Brüttisellen, Switzerland (which will conduct the authorization process) for address verification and credit check purposes.

For orders placed with the online shop at www.drinkdirect.ch using the payment option “Purchase on account” and “Purchase by installment”, Accarda AG assumes our claim against you within the framework of an assignment of claims (cession). When placing an order as a customer of the online shop of Diwisa Distillerie Willisau SA, you agree that the data associated with the payment method “Purchase on account” and available to the online shop of Diwisa Distillerie Willisau SA, including personal data, purchase data, invoice and payment and debt collection data, can be used by Accarda AG in its capacity as controller for its own purposes; in particular, Accarda AG is authorized to include this data in its own credit checking databases and to use it for other purposes of its own, including the use of credit checking queries for the “Purchase on account”, “Purchase by installment” and “Credit card” means of payment for itself and for third parties (e.g. online shops). For further information on “Purchase on account”, we also refer you to our General Terms and Conditions.

Insofar as provided for by the data protection law applicable to you, you may request information free of charge about the stored data relating to you, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing.
