2. Terms and legal bases
2.1 Terms
Personal data is all information that relates to a specific or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person about whom we process personal data.
Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, for example querying, comparing, adapting, archiving, storing, reading, disclosing, obtaining, recording, collecting, deleting, disclosing, sorting, organizing, storing, changing, disseminating , linking, destroying and using personal data.
2.2 Legal basis
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).
3. Nature, scope and purpose
We process the personal data that is necessary to be able to carry out our activities and activities in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such personal data may in particular fall into the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or edge data and usage data, location data, sales data and contract and payment data.
We process personal data for the period that is necessary for the respective purpose(s) or by law. Personal data that no longer needs to be processed will be anonymized or deleted.
We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may process personal data together with third parties or transfer it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialized providers whose services we use. We also guarantee data protection for such third parties.
We generally only process personal data with the consent of the person concerned. If and to the extent that processing is permitted for other legal reasons, we may waive the need to obtain 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 available sources or collect in the exercise of our activities and activities, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.
4. Communication
We process personal data in order to be able to communicate with third parties. In this context, we process in particular data that a data subject transmits when contacting us, for example by post or email. We may store such data in an address book or similar means.
Third parties who transmit data about other people are obliged to ensure data protection for such data subjects. To do this, among other things, the accuracy of the personal data transmitted must be ensured.
5. Data security
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security that is appropriate to the respective risk. With our measures, we ensure in particular the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the processed personal data, but cannot guarantee absolute data security.
Access to our website and our other online presence is carried out using transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers mark transport encryption with a small padlock in the address bar.
Our digital communication is – like basically all digital communication – 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. We cannot have any direct influence on the appropriate processing of personal data by secret services, police departments and other security authorities. We also cannot rule out the possibility that individual affected individuals will be specifically monitored.
6. Personal data abroad
We generally process personal data in Switzerland. We can also disclose or export personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process it or have it processed there.
We may disclose personal data to all states and territories on earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that local law ensures adequate data protection in accordance with a decision of the Swiss Federal Council.
We may disclose personal data in countries whose laws do not ensure adequate data protection, provided that adequate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons. Suitable data protection can be guaranteed, for example, through appropriate contractual agreements, on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable guarantees. As an exception, we can export personal data to countries without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection requirements are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we will be happy to provide affected persons with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees.
7. Rights of data subjects
7.1 Data protection claims
We grant data subjects all claims in accordance with applicable data protection law. Data subjects have the following rights in particular:
Information: Data subjects can request information as to whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data is involved. 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 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 can correct incorrect personal data, complete incomplete data and have the processing of their data restricted.
Deletion and objection: Data subjects can have their personal data deleted (“right to be forgotten”) and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
Data release and data transfer: Affected persons can request the release of personal data or the transfer of their data to another person responsible.
We may suspend, restrict or refuse to exercise the rights of data subjects to the extent permitted by law. We can inform affected persons of any requirements that need to be met in order to exercise their data protection rights. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part with reference to trade secrets or the protection of other persons. For example, we can also refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part with reference to legal retention requirements.
We may, in exceptional circumstances, provide for costs for the exercise of the rights. We will inform those affected in advance about any costs.
We are obliged to take appropriate measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Those affected are obliged to cooperate.
7.2 Legal protection
Affected persons have the right to enforce their data protection claims through legal action or to file a report or complaint with a responsible data protection supervisory authority.
The data protection supervisory authority for reports by data subjects against private parties and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
