2. Terms and Legal Basis

2.1 Terms

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

Processing encompasses any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, including but not limited to querying, comparing, adapting, archiving, retaining, extracting, disclosing, obtaining, recording, collecting, deleting, disclosing, organizing, storing, altering, disseminating, 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 Bases

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the Data Protection Ordinance (Data Protection Ordinance, DSV).

We process - if and to the extent the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable - personal data according to at least one of the following legal bases:

  • Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the affected person and to carry out pre-contractual measures.
  • Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental rights and freedoms and interests of the affected person prevail. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our interest in being able to exercise our activities and operations permanently, user-friendly, safely, and reliably, as well as communicate about them, ensure information security, protect against abuse, enforce our own legal claims, and comply with Swiss law.
  • Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under the laws of Member States in the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • Art. 6 (1) lit. e GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
  • Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the affected person.
  • Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person.

3. Type, Scope, and Purpose

We process personal data that is necessary to conduct our activities and operations in a permanent, user-friendly, safe, and reliable manner. Such personal data may include categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or marginal data, usage data, location data, sales data, and 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 required for processing will be anonymized or deleted.

We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may process personal data jointly with third parties or transmit it to third parties. Such third parties include specialized providers whose services we use. We ensure data protection even with such third parties.

We generally process personal data only with the consent of the affected persons. If and to the extent that processing is permissible for other legal reasons, we may dispense with obtaining consent. For example, we may process personal data without consent to fulfill a contract, to comply with legal obligations, or to protect overriding interests.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources, or collect in the course of our activities and operations, to the extent that such processing is permissible for legal reasons.

4. Communication

We process personal data to communicate with third parties. In this context, we particularly process data that an affected person transmits when contacting us, for example, by postal mail or email. We may store such data in an address book or similar tools.

Third parties transmitting data about other persons are obligated to ensure data protection for such affected persons. This includes ensuring the accuracy of the transmitted personal data, among other things.

We use selected services from suitable providers to communicate better with third parties.

5. Data Security

We implement suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. With our measures, we ensure in particular the confidentiality, availability, traceability, and integrity of the processed personal data, but we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our website and our other online presence is carried out using transport encryption (SSL / TLS, especially with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a small padlock icon in the address bar.

Our digital communication is subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion 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 cannot directly influence the processing of personal data by intelligence services, law enforcement agencies, and other security authorities. We also cannot exclude that individual affected persons are being monitored.

6. Personal Data Abroad

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

We can export personal data to all countries and territories on Earth and elsewhere in the Universe, as long as the local law ensures adequate data protection according to the decision of the Swiss Federal Council and, if applicable, according to the decision of the European Commission regarding adequate data protection in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We may transmit personal data to states whose law does not guarantee adequate data protection if data protection is ensured for other reasons, especially based on standard data protection clauses or other suitable guarantees. In exceptional cases, we may export personal data to states without adequate or suitable data protection if the specific data protection requirements are met, such as the explicit consent of the affected persons or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we provide affected persons with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees.

7. Rights of Affected Persons

7.1 Data Protection Claims

We grant affected persons all claims according to the applicable data protection law. Affected persons have the following rights in particular:

  • Information: Affected persons can request information about whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data it concerns. Affected persons also receive the information necessary to assert their data protection claims and to ensure transparency. This includes the processed personal data as such, but also, among other things, information about the purpose of processing, the duration of storage, any disclosure or export of data to other countries, and the origin of the personal data.
  • Correction and Restriction: Affected persons can have incorrect personal data corrected, incomplete data completed, and the processing of their data restricted.
  • Deletion and Objection: Affected persons can have personal data deleted ("right to be forgotten") and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data Disclosure and Data Portability: Affected persons can request the disclosure of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.

We may, within the legally permissible framework, postpone, restrict, or refuse the exercise of the rights of affected persons. We may inform affected persons of any prerequisites that must be met to exercise their data protection rights. For example, we may refuse information with reference to business secrets or the protection of other persons, in whole or in part. For example, we may also refuse the deletion of personal data with reference to legal retention obligations, in whole or in part.

We may exceptionally charge for the exercise of the rights. We will inform affected persons in advance of any possible costs.

We are obliged to identify affected persons who request information or exercise other rights with appropriate measures. Affected persons are obliged to cooperate.

7.2 Legal Protection

Affected persons have the right to enforce their data protection claims through legal means or to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

The data protection supervisory authority for complaints by affected persons against private controllers and federal authorities in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

European data protection supervisory authorities for complaints by affected persons, if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, are organized as members of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). In some Member States in the European Economic Area (EEA), data protection supervisory authorities are organized at the federal level, especially in Germany.

9.1 Success and Reach Measurement

Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that determine whether an individual message has been opened and which web links were clicked.

We may log obtained consents, including IP addresses and timestamps, for evidence and security reasons.

You can generally object to receiving notifications and messages such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can simultaneously object to the statistical tracking of usage for success and reach measurement. Required notifications and messages related to our activities and operations remain reserved.

9.3 Service Providers for Notifications and Messages

With such services, we may embed functions and content into our website. When embedding, the used services capture the IP addresses of users at least temporarily for technical reasons.

For security-relevant, 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 form. This includes performance or usage data necessary to provide the respective service.

We recommend, depending on the situation, muting the microphone by default and blurring the background or using a virtual background when participating in audio or video conferences.

With such advertising, we aim to reach individuals who are already interested in or could be interested in our activities and operations (Remarketing and Targeting). To do this, we may transmit relevant – possibly also personal – information to third parties that enable such advertising. Additionally, we can determine whether our advertising is successful, meaning whether it leads to visits to our website (Conversion Tracking).

We use, in particular:

12. Success and Reach Measurement

We try to determine how our online offering is used. In this context, we can, for example, measure the success and reach of our activities and operations, as well as the impact of third-party links to our website. We can also experiment and compare how different parts or versions of our online offering are used (A/B test method). Based on the results of success and reach measurement, we can, in particular, fix errors, strengthen popular content, or make improvements to our online offering.

In most cases, IP addresses of individual users are stored for success and reach measurement. In this case, IP addresses are generally shortened ("IP masking") to follow the principle of data minimization through appropriate pseudonymization.

Cookies may be used for success and reach measurement, and user profiles may be created. Any user profiles created may include, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our website, information about the size of the screen or browser window, and the – at least approximate – location. In principle, any user profiles are created exclusively pseudonymized and are not used for the identification of individual users.
