We process those personal data that are necessary to carry out our activities and operations in a durable, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. In particular, such personal data may fall into the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or boundary data and usage data, location data, sales data, and contract and payment data.

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

We may process personal data for the period of time required by law.

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 are in particular specialized providers whose services we use. We also ensure data protection with such third parties.

.

We process personal data basically only with the consent of the persons concerned. If and to the extent that the processing is permitted for other legal reasons, we may refrain from 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.

.

In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject provides to us voluntarily when contacting us - for example, by mail, email, instant messaging, contact form, social media or telephone - or when registering for a user account. We may store such information, for example, in an address book, in a customer relationship management system (CRM system) or with comparable tools. If we receive data transmitted to us about other persons, the transmitting persons are obligated to ensure data protection with respect to these persons as well as to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.

.

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, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.

We will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees upon request.

6. Rights of data subjects

.

6.1 Data protection rights

.

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

.
  • Information: Data subjects may request information as to whether we process personal data about them, and if so, what personal data is involved. Data subjects 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 on 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: Data subjects may correct inaccurate personal data, complete incomplete data and have the processing of their data restricted.
  • Deletion and objection: Data subjects can have personal data deleted ("right to be forgotten") and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data surrender and data transfer: Data subjects may request the surrender of personal data or the transfer of their data to another data controller.

We may suspend, restrict or refuse the exercise of data subjects' rights to the extent permitted by law. We can inform data subjects of any requirements to be met for the exercise of their rights under data protection law. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part with reference to business secrets or the protection of other persons. We may also, for example, refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part with reference to statutory retention obligations.

We may provide for costs for the exercise of rights exceptionally. We inform data subjects in advance about any costs.

We are obliged to exceptional costs.

We are obliged to take reasonable measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Data subjects are obligated to cooperate.

6.2 Right to complain

.

Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection rights through legal channels 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 (FDPIC).

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

7. Data security

.

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the risk involved. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

.

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

Our digital communication is subject - as basically any digital communication - to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion and other monitoring by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police agencies and other security authorities.

.

8. Use of the website

.

8.1 Cookies

We may use cookies. Cookies - our own cookies (first-party cookies) as well as cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) - are data stored in the browser. Such stored data need not be limited to traditional cookies in text form.

.

Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. In particular, cookies enable us to recognize a browser the next time it visits our website and thus, for example, to measure the reach of our website. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.

.

Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated as well as deleted at any time in the browser settings. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We request - at least if and to the extent necessary - actively for the express consent to the use of cookies.

For cookies used for performance and reach measurement or for advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is required for many services via the AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA) possible.

8.2 Server logfiles

.

We may collect the following information for each access to our website, provided that it is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: Date and time including time zone, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual sub-page of our website accessed including amount of data transferred, website last accessed in the same browser window (referer or referrer).

.

We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is necessary to provide our website permanently, user-friendly and reliable, as well as to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data - also by third parties or with the help of third parties.

.

8.3 Zählpixel

We may use tracking pixels on our website. Tracking pixels are also referred to as web beacons. Tracking pixels - also from third parties whose services we use - are small, usually invisible images that are automatically retrieved when you visit our website. Counting pixels can be used to collect the same information as server log files.

.

8.4 Comments

.

We allow you to post comments on our website. In this context, we process in particular those details that a commenting person transmits to us themselves, but also the Internet Protocol (IP) address used and the date and time. This information is required to enable the publication of comments as well as to ensure protection against misuse, which is in our overriding legitimate interest.

.

9. Notifications and communications

.

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

9.1 Performance and reach measurement

.

Notifications and communications may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual communication was opened and which web links were clicked. Such web links and tracking pixels may also track usage of notifications and communications on a personal basis. We need this statistical recording of usage for performance and reach measurement in order to be able to send notifications and messages effectively and in a user-friendly manner based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients, as well as permanently, securely and reliably.

.

You must basically expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and other contact addresses, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. For any consent, we use the "double opt-in" procedure whenever possible, which means that you will receive an e-mail with a web link that you must click to confirm, so that no misuse by unauthorized third parties can take place. We may log such consents, including Internet Protocol (IP) address, date and time, for evidentiary and security purposes.

You can basically object to receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can simultaneously object to the statistical recording of usage for performance and reach measurement. This is subject to any necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and operations.

.

10. Social Media

.

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

.

The General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and Terms of Use as well as data protection declarations and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms also apply in each case. These provisions inform, in particular, about the rights of data subjects directly against the respective platform, which includes, for example, the right to information.

For our Social Media presence on Facebook including the so-called Page Insights, we - if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable - are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Ireland). 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 help us provide our social media presence on Facebook in an effective and user-friendly manner.

With such advertising, we would like to reach in particular people who are already interested in our activities and operations or who might be interested in them (Remarketing and Targeting). For this purpose, we may transmit relevant - if necessary also personal - data to third parties that enable such advertising. We may also determine whether our advertising is successful, that is, in particular, whether it leads to visits to our website (conversion tracking).

But we can also, for example, try out and compare how different parts or versions of our online offering are used ("A/B test" method). Based on the results of the success and reach measurement, we can in particular fix errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements to our online offering.

For performance and reach measurement, in most cases the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of individual users are stored. In this case, IP addresses are basically shortened ("IP masking") in order to follow the principle of data economy through the corresponding pseudonymization.

In the case of success and reach measurement, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of individual users are stored in most cases.

In measuring success and reach, cookies may be used and user profiles may be created. Any user profiles created include, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the - at least approximate - location. In principle, any user profiles are created exclusively pseudonymously and are not used to identify individual users. Individual services of third parties, with which users are registered, can assign the use of our online offer to the user account or user profile at the respective service.

.

We use in particular:

.

We have created this privacy statement using the Data Privacy Generator from Data Privacy Partners.

We may amend and supplement this Privacy Policy at any time. We will inform about such adjustments and additions in an appropriate form, in particular by publishing the respective current privacy policy on our website.
