2. Processing of personal data
2.1 Terms
Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data are processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, sourcing, collection, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
2.2 Legal basis
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Law on Data Protection (DSG) and the Regulation to the Federal Law on Data Protection (VDSG).
2.3 Type, scope, and purpose
We process those personal data that are necessary to provide our online services in a permanent, user-friendly, secure, and reliable manner. Such personal data can fall into the categories of inventory and contact data, content data, meta or marginal data as well as usage data, location data, contract data and payment data.
We process personal data during the periodrequired for the respective purpose or purposes or as required by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer required will be made anonymous or deleted.
We normally process personal data only with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permitted for other legal reasons, for example, to fulfil a contract with the data subject and for appropriate pre-contractual measures to protect our overriding legitimate interests, because the processing is evident from the circumstances or after prior information.
In this context, we process in particular information that a person concerned voluntarily and personally submits to us when contacting us – for example by mail, e-mail, 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 save in similar tools. If you transmit personal data about third parties to us, you are obliged to guarantee data protection against such third parties and to ensure the accuracy of such personal data.
We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources, or collect when providing our online services, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted by law.
2.4 Processing of personal data by third parties, also abroad
We may have personal data processed by third parties, such as in particular order processors, or process it together with third parties or with the help of third parties or transfer it to third parties. Such third parties are in particular providers whose services we use. We also guarantee appropriate data protection for such third parties.
Such third parties are generally located in Switzerland and in the European Economic Area (EEA) including the European Union (EU) and the Principality of Liechtenstein. However, such third parties may also be located in other states on earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that their data protection laws guarantee adequate data protection in the opinion of the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or if adequate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, such as by a corresponding contractual agreement, in particular on the basis of standard contractual clauses, or by appropriate certification. In the case of third parties in the United States of America (USA), certification in accordance with the Privacy Shield can guarantee adequate data protection. Exceptionally, such a third party may be in a country without adequate data protection, provided that the legal data protection requirements are met, such as the express consent of the data subject.
3. Rights of data subjects
Data subjects whose personal data we process enjoy their rights under Swiss data protection law. This includes the right to information and the right to correct, delete or block the processed personal data.
Data subjects whose personal data we process have a right of appeal to a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
4. Data security
We take appropriate and suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure data protection and in particular data security. However, despite such measures, the processing of personal data on the Internet can always have security gaps. We can therefore not guarantee absolute data security.
The access to our online offerings takes place by means of transport encryption (SSL / TLS with HTTPS).
Access to our online offerings is subject – as is basically the case with all Internet use – to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion and other monitoring by security authorities in Switzerland, in the European Union (EU), in the United States of America (USA) and in other countries. We cannot directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police forces and other security authorities.

Permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.
You can deactivate or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, either in whole or in part. Without cookies, our online offering may no longer be available in its entirety. We actively ask you – if and to the extent necessary – for your express consent to the use of cookies.

We may send notices and communications, such as newsletters, by e-mail and through other communication channels such as instant messaging.
6.1 Measurement of success and range
Notifications and messages can contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message was opened, and which web links were clicked. Such web links and tracking pixels may also record the use of notifications and messages on a personalized basis. We need this statistical recording of usage to measure success and reach to provide notifications and messages in an effective, user-friendly, permanent, secure and reliable manner based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients.
6.2 Consent and objection
In principle, you must 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 to receive e-mails, we use “double opt-in”, i.e. you will receive an e-mail with a web link that you must click to confirm your consent, so that no misuse by unauthorized third parties can occur. We may log such consent including Internet Protocol (IP) address and date and time for evidence and security purposes.
You can basically unsubscribe from notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. This is subject to notifications and messages that are absolutely necessary for our online offerings. By unsubscribing, you can object in particular to the statistical recording of usage for measuring success and reach.
6.3 Service provider for notifications and messages
We may have notices and communications sent by, or through, service providers. We also guarantee an appropriate level of data protection with such service providers.

We may use third party services to provide our online services in a durable, user-friendly, secure, and reliable manner. Such services also serve to embed content in our online offering.
