We point out if there are other responsible parties for the processing of personal data in individual cases.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified 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, such as querying, matching, adapting, archiving, storing, reading out, disclosing, procuring, recording, collecting, deleting, disclosing, arranging, organizing, storing, modifying, disseminating, linking, destroying and using personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law such as, in particular, the Federal Data Protection Act (Data Protection Act, DPA) and the Data Protection Ordinance (Data Protection Ordinance, DPA).
We process the personal data that is necessary for us to carry out our activities and operations in a sustainable, humane, safe and reliable manner. The personal data processed may in particular fall into the categories of browser and device data, content data, communication data, metadata, usage data, master data including inventory and contact data, location data, transaction data, contract data and payment 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, insofar as such processing is permitted for legal reasons.
We process personal data, where necessary, with the consent of the data subjects. We may process personal data in many cases without consent, for example to fulfill legal obligations or to protect overriding interests. We may also request the consent of data subjects when their consent is not required.
We process personal data for the duration of the period necessary for the respective purpose. We anonymize or delete personal data in particular in accordance with statutory retention and limitation periods.
We may disclose personal data to third parties, have it processed by third parties or process it jointly with third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialized providers whose services we use.
We may disclose personal data, for example, to banks and other financial service providers, authorities, educational and research institutions, consultants and lawyers, interest groups, IT service providers, cooperation partners, credit and business information bureaus, logistics and shipping companies, marketing and advertising agencies, media, organizations and associations, social institutions, telecommunications companies and insurance companies.
We process personal data in order to communicate with individuals as well as with authorities, organizations and companies. In doing so, we process in particular data that a data subject transmits to us when establishing contact, for example by letter post or e-mail. We may store such data in an address book or with comparable tools.
Third parties who provide us with data about other persons are obliged to ensure the data protection of these persons independently. In particular, they must ensure that such data is correct and may be transmitted.
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. In particular, we ensure the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the personal data processed, but we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
Access to our website and our other online presence is protected by transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers warn against visiting websites without transport encryption.
Our digital communication is subject – as is basically all digital communication – 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 have no direct influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police forces and other security authorities. We also cannot rule out the possibility that a data subject may be monitored specifically.
We process personal data basically in Switzerland. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process it or have it processed there.
We may transfer personal data to all states and territories on Earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that the law there ensures adequate data protection in accordance with the decision of the Swiss Federal Council.
We may disclose personal data to countries whose laws do not ensure adequate data protection, provided that adequate data protection is ensured for other reasons. Appropriate data protection may be ensured, for example, by appropriate contractual agreements, on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other appropriate guarantees. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the special legal data protection requirements are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract. We will be happy to provide data subjects with information on any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees upon request.
We grant data subjects all rights under applicable data protection law. In particular, data subjects have the following rights:
We may suspend, restrict or refuse the exercise of the rights of data subjects to the extent permitted by law. We may inform data subjects of any requirements that must be met in order to exercise their data protection rights. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part on the grounds of business secrets or the protection of other persons. We may also, for example, refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part, citing legal obligations to preserve records.
We may exceptionally provide for costs for the exercise of rights. We inform data subjects in advance über allfällige costs.
We are obliged to take reasonable measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Data subjects are required to cooperate.
Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims by legal means or to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority
The data protection supervisory authority for private data controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Swiss Data Protection and Information Commissioner (EDÖB).
