We process all personal data that is necessary to be able to carry out our activities and services 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, contract and payment data.

We process personal data for the necessary period of the respective purpose or 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 ensure that such provider comply with the obligations of data protection.

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 fulfil a contract, to comply with legal obligations or to protect overriding interests.

In this context, we process information that a data subject voluntarily sends to us when contacting us - for example by post, email, instant messaging, contact form, social media or phone - or when registering for a user account. We can store such information, for example, in an address book or using comparable tools. If we receive data about other people, the people providing the data are obliged to ensure data protection for these people and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly available sources or collect by exercising our activities and services, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.

4. 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 any other reasons. Applicable data protection can be provided, 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 specific consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we will provide the affected persons with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees.

5. Rights of data subjects

5.1 Data protection claims

We grant data subjects all rights in accordance with the applicable data protection law. Data subjects have the following rights, in particular:

  • Information: Data subjects can request information about whether and to what extend we process their personal data and 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.

​

​

8.2 Consent and objection

If possible, we use the “double opt-in” procedure to obtain consent, which means that you will receive an email with a web link that you must click on to confirm so that there is no misuse by unauthorized third parties. We may log such consent, including IP address and date and time, for evidentiary and security reasons.

In principle, you can unsubscribe from receiving notifications and messages such as newsletters etc. at any time.

For example, we can also try 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.

In most cases, the IP addresses of individual users are stored to measure success and reach. In this case, IP addresses are generally shortened (“IP masking”) in order to follow the principle of data economy through the corresponding pseudonymization.

Any user profiles created 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.
