2. Definitions and Legal Basis

2.1 Definitions

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An affected person is an individual about whom we process personal data.

Processing encompasses any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, including querying, comparing, adapting, archiving, storing, extracting, disclosing, obtaining, capturing, collecting, deleting, revealing, organizing, storing, altering, distributing, linking, destroying, and using personal data.

The European Economic Area (EEA) includes the Member States of the European Union (EU) as well as the Principality of Liechtenstein, Iceland, and Norway. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) refers to the processing of personal data as the processing of personal data.

2.2 Legal Basis

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, including the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, DPA) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DPO).

We process – to the extent the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – personal data based on at least one of the following legal bases:

  • Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for pre-contractual measures.
  • Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our interest in conducting our activities and operations permanently, user-friendly, safely, and reliably, as well as being able to communicate about them; ensuring information security, protection against abuse, enforcement of our legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
  • Article 6(1)(c) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under potentially applicable laws of Member States in the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • Article 6(1)(e) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
  • Article 6(1)(a) GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
  • Article 6(1)(d) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

3. Type, Scope and Purpose

We process those personal data that are necessary to carry out our activities and operations permanently, user-friendly, safely, and reliably. Such personal data may fall into categories including inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or marginal data, usage data, location data, sales data, as well as contract and payment data.

We process personal data for the duration that is necessary for the respective purpose(s) or as required by law. Personal data that is no longer necessary for processing will be anonymized or deleted.

We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may process or transmit personal data jointly with third parties. Such third parties are typically specialized providers whose services we use. We ensure data protection even with these third parties.

We process personal data only with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permissible for other legal reasons. Processing without consent may be permissible, for example, to fulfill a contract with the data subject and corresponding pre-contractual measures, to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests, where processing is apparent from the circumstances, or after prior information.

In this context, we particularly process information that an affected person voluntarily submits to us when contacting us—such as through postal mail, email, instant messaging, contact forms, social media, or telephone—or when registering for a user account. We may store such information, for example, in an address book or using similar tools. When we receive data about other individuals, the transmitting individuals are obligated to ensure data protection for these individuals and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.

Furthermore, we process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources, or collect in the course of our activities and operations, provided such processing is legally permissible.

4. Personal Data Abroad

We process personal data primarily in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we may also export or transmit personal data to other countries, particularly to process or have them processed there.

We may export personal data to all countries and territories on Earth as well as elsewhere in the Universe, provided that the local law, according to the decision of the Swiss Federal Council, ensures adequate data protection, and, to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, according to the decision of the European Commission ensures adequate data protection.

We may transmit personal data to states where the law does not guarantee adequate data protection, provided that data protection is ensured for other reasons, particularly based on standard data protection clauses or other appropriate guarantees. In exceptional cases, we may export personal data to states without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection requirements are met, such as the explicit consent of the data subjects or a direct connection to the conclusion or performance of a contract. Upon request, we are happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees.

5. Rights of Data Subjects

5.1 Data Protection Claims

We grant data subjects all claims under applicable data protection law. Data subjects have the following rights, in particular:

  • Information: Data subjects can request information about whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data it is. Data subjects also receive information necessary to assert their data protection claims and ensure transparency. This includes the processed personal data itself, but also information about the purpose of processing, the duration of storage, any disclosure or transfer of data to other countries, and the origin of the personal data, among other things.
  • Rectification and Restriction: Data subjects can correct incorrect personal data, complete incomplete data, and restrict the processing of their data.
  • Erasure and Objection: Data subjects can request the erasure of personal data (“right to be forgotten”) and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data Disclosure and Data Transfer: Data subjects can request the disclosure of personal data or the transfer of their data to another responsible party.

We may defer, restrict, or refuse the exercise of data subjects’ rights within the legally permissible framework. We may inform data subjects of any conditions that must be fulfilled to exercise their data protection claims. For example, we may fully or partially refuse information on the basis of trade secrets or the protection of other individuals. We may also fully or partially refuse the erasure of personal data based on legal retention obligations, for example.

We may exceptionally charge for the exercise of rights. We will inform data subjects in advance of any potential costs.

We are obligated to identify data subjects who request information or exercise other rights with appropriate measures within the legally permissible framework. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.

5.2 Right to Lodge a Complaint

Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims through legal proceedings or to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

The data protection supervisory authority for private controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (EDÖB).

Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent European data protection supervisory authority, to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security that is appropriate to the respective risk. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our website is via transport encryption (SSL / TLS, especially with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock icon in the address bar.

Our digital communication is subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion, as well as other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA), and other countries, as is generally the case with all digital communication. We have no direct influence on the processing of personal data by intelligence agencies, police authorities, and other security authorities.

Tracking pixels can capture the same information as in server log files.

8. Notifications and Communications

We send notifications and communications via email and other communication channels such as instant messaging or SMS.

8.1 Success and Reach Measurement

Notifications and communications may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual notification was opened and which web links were clicked. Such web links and tracking pixels can also capture the usage of notifications and communications on a personal level. We require this statistical tracking of usage for success and reach measurement, in order to effectively and user-friendly deliver notifications and communications based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients, while ensuring their long-term, secure, and reliable transmission.

8.2 Consent and Objection

You must generally provide explicit consent for the use of your email address and other contact addresses, unless the use is permissible for other legal reasons. We use the “Double Opt-in” procedure whenever possible for obtaining consent, meaning you receive an email with a link that you need to click to confirm, in order to prevent misuse by unauthorized third parties. We may log such consents, including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses as well as the date and time, for evidential and security reasons.

You can generally object to receiving notifications and communications, such as newsletters, at any time. By objecting, you can also object to the statistical tracking of usage for success and reach measurement. Necessary notifications and communications related to our activities and operations remain unaffected.

9. Social Media

We have a presence on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to communicate with interested individuals and provide information about our activities and operations. In connection with such platforms, personal data may be processed outside of Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA).

The terms and conditions (T&Cs) and usage conditions as well as privacy policies and other provisions of each operator of such platforms also apply. These provisions particularly inform data subjects directly about their rights vis-à-vis the respective platform, including the right to information.

For our Social Media presence on Facebook, including so-called Page Insights, we are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Ireland) to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is part of the Meta companies (including in the USA). Page Insights provide information about how visitors interact with our Facebook presence. We use Page Insights to effectively and user-friendly provide our Social Media presence on Facebook.

Further information about the nature, scope, and purpose of data processing, information about the rights of data subjects, as well as contact details for Facebook and Facebook’s Data Protection Officer can be found in the Facebook Privacy Policy. We have concluded the so-called “Controller Addendum” with Facebook, and thereby agreed that Facebook is responsible for ensuring the rights of data subjects. The corresponding information for Page Insights can be found on the “Information about Page Insights” page, including “Information about Page Insights Data”.

10. Third-Party Services

We use services from specialized third parties to conduct our activities and operations permanently, in a user-friendly, secure, and reliable manner. With such services, we can embed functions and content into our website. For such embedding, the used services, for technical reasons, temporarily collect at least the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of users.

For necessary security, statistical, and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data related to our activities and operations in an aggregated, anonymized, or pseudonymized manner. These may include performance or usage data in order to provide the respective service.
