Data subject: Natural person about whom we process personal data.
Personal data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Personal data that is particularly worthy of protection: Data on trade union, political, religious or philosophical views and activities, data on health, privacy or membership of an ethnic or racial group, genetic data, biometric data that uniquely identifies a natural person, data on criminal and administrative sanctions or persecution, and data on social assistance measures.
Edit: Any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, such as querying, comparing, adapting, archiving, storing, reading, disclosing it, procuring, recording, collecting, deleting, disclosing it, structuring, organizing, storing, modifying, disseminating, linking, destroying and using personal data.
European Economic Area (EEA): Member States of the European Union (EU) as well as the Principality of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, FADP) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DSV).
If and to the extent that the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, we process personal data or personal data in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:
▪ Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
▪ Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data in order to safeguard legitimate interests – including the legitimate interests of third parties – unless the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights as well as the interests of the data subject prevail. Such interests are, in particular, the permanent, humane, secure and reliable exercise of our activities and activities, the guarantee of information security, protection against misuse, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.
▪ Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject under the applicable law of member states in the European Economic Area (EEA).
▪ Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a task that is in the public interest.
▪ Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
▪ Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
▪ Art. 9 para. 2 et seq. GDPR for the processing of special categories of personal data, in particular with the consent of the data subjects.
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) refers to the processing of personal data as the processing of personal data and the processing of particularly sensitive personal data as the processing of special categories of personal data (Art. 9 GDPR).
We process the personal data that is necessary to be able to carry out our activities and activities in a permanent, humane, safe and reliable manner. In particular, the processed personal data may 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. The personal data can also constitute particularly sensitive personal data.
We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly available sources or collect in the course of carrying out our activities and activities, to the extent that such processing is permitted.
Where necessary, we process personal data with the consent of the data subjects. In many cases, we may process personal data without consent, for example to comply with legal obligations or to protect overriding interests. We may also ask data subjects for their consent where their consent is not required.
We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose. We anonymise or delete personal data, in particular depending on statutory retention and limitation periods.
We may disclose personal data to third parties, have them processed by third parties or process them together with third parties. Such third parties may be, for example, specialized providers whose services we use. Such third parties may in turn disclose personal data to third parties.
In the course of our activities and activities, we may disclose personal data in particular to banks and other financial service providers, public authorities, educational and research institutions, consultants and lawyers, accounting and fiduciary service providers, debt collection agencies, interest groups, IT service providers, cooperation partners, credit and credit reference agencies, logistics and shipping companies, marketing and advertising agencies, media, parent companies, sister companies and subsidiaries, organisations and associations, social institutions, telecommunications companies, insurance companies and payment service providers.
We process personal data in order to be able to communicate with individuals as well as with authorities, organizations and companies. In particular, we process data that a data subject transmits to us when contacting us, for example by post or e-mail. We may store such information in an address book or similar tools.
Third parties who transmit data about other persons to us are legally obliged to ensure the data protection of these data subjects independently. In particular, they must ensure that they are allowed to transmit such data, but also ensure the accuracy of the data transmitted.
We use selected services from suitable providers to enable and improve communication with individuals and other communication partners. Such services allow us to manage and otherwise process data subjects' data beyond direct communication, for example in connection with orders, services, projects and resource planning.
In particular, we use:
▪ Microsoft Dynamics 365: Customer Relationship Management (CRM); Provider: Microsoft; Microsoft Dynamics-specific information: "Privacy and personal data in Microsoft Dynamics 365".
▪ Microsoft Forms: Online form service; Provider: Microsoft; Microsoft Forms-specific privacy information: "Privacy and Compliance," "Security and Privacy."
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. With our measures, we guarantee in particular the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the processed personal data, but without being able to guarantee absolute data security.
Access to our website and our other digital presence is by means of transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers warn against visiting a website without transport encryption.
Our digital communication – like all digital communication – is 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 directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police stations and other security authorities. We also cannot rule out the possibility that a person affected is being specifically monitored.
We generally process personal data in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we may also export or transfer personal data to other countries, in particular for the purpose of processing or having it processed there.
We can export personal data to all countries 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 and – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – also in accordance with the decision of the European Commission.
We may transfer personal data to countries whose laws do not ensure adequate data protection, provided that data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other appropriate safeguards. In exceptional cases, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection requirements are met, such as the explicit consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. We will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees upon request.
We grant all claims to data subjects in accordance with applicable law. In particular, data subjects have the following rights:
▪ Information: Data subjects can request information as to whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data it is. 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 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 rectify incorrect personal data, complete incomplete data and have the processing of their data restricted.
▪ Possibility for one's own point of view and human review: In the case of decisions that are based exclusively on automated processing of personal data and have legal consequences for them or significantly impair them (automated individual decisions), data subjects can present their own point of view and request review by a human.
▪ 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 release and data transfer: Data subjects can request the release of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.
We may postpone, restrict or refuse to exercise the rights of data subjects to the extent permitted by law. We can point out to data subjects any requirements that may have to be met for exercising their data protection rights. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part with reference to confidentiality obligations, overriding interests or the protection of other persons. For example, we may also refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part, in particular with reference to statutory retention obligations.
We may, exceptionally, provide costs for the exercise of the rights. We inform affected persons in advance of any costs.
We are obliged to take appropriate measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.
Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection rights through legal action or to file a complaint or complaint with a 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).
European data protection supervisory authorities are organised as members of the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). In some member states in the European Economic Area (EEA), the data protection supervisory authorities are structured on a federal basis, especially in Germany.
We may use cookies. Cookies – first-party cookies as well as cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) – are data that are stored in the browser. Such stored data does not have to 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 certain storage period. In particular, cookies make it possible to recognise a browser the next time you visit our website and thus measure the reach of our website, for example. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.
Cookies can be deactivated, restricted or deleted in whole or in part at any time in the browser settings. The browser settings often also enable automated deletion and other management of cookies. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We actively ask for explicit consent to the use of cookies – at least if and to the extent required by applicable law.
In the case of cookies used for success and reach measurement or for advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is possible 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).
We may log at least the following information for each access to our website and our other digital presence, provided that these are determined or transmitted to our digital infrastructure by default during such accesses: date and time including time zone, IP address, access status (HTTP status code), Operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual subpage of our website accessed including the amount of data transferred, last website accessed in the same browser window (referrer or referrer).
We log such information, which may also constitute personal data, in log files. The information is necessary in order to be able to provide our digital presence permanently, in a human-friendly and reliable manner. The information is also necessary to ensure data security – also by third parties or with the help of third parties.
We can integrate web beacons into our digital presence. Web beacons are also known as web beacons. Web beacons – including those of third parties whose services we use – are usually small, invisible images or scripts formulated in JavaScript that are automatically retrieved when accessing our digital presence. Web beacons can capture at least the same information as logging in log files.
Notifications and notifications may contain web links or web beacons that track whether an individual message has been opened and which web links have been clicked. Such web links and web beacons may also record the use of notifications and communications on a personal basis. We need this statistical recording of usage for success and reach measurement in order to be able to send notifications and messages based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients in an effective and humane way as well as permanently, securely and reliably.
In principle, you must consent to the use of your e-mail address and your other contact addresses, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. We can use the "double opt-in" procedure to obtain a doubly confirmed consent. In this case, you will receive a message with instructions for double verification. We may log consents obtained, including IP address and timestamp, for evidentiary and security purposes.
In principle, you can opt-out of receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can also object to the statistical recording of use for success and reach measurement. We reserve the right to provide necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and activities.
We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to be able to communicate with interested people and to inform them about our activities and activities. In connection with such platforms, personal data may also be processed outside 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. These provisions provide information in particular about the rights of data subjects directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, which includes, for example, the right to information.
We are jointly responsible for our social media presence on Facebook, including the so-called page insights, if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – together with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Ireland). Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is part of the Meta companies (including in the USA). Page insights provide insight into how visitors interact with our Facebook presence. We use Page Insights to provide our social media presence on Facebook in an effective and people-friendly way.
Further information on the type, scope and purpose of data processing, information on the rights of data subjects and the contact details of Facebook as well as Facebook's data protection officer can be found in Facebook's privacy policy. We have concluded the so-called "Addendum for Controllers" with Facebook and thus agreed in particular that Facebook is responsible for guaranteeing the rights of data subjects. For the so-called Page Insights, the corresponding information can be found on the page "About Page Insights" including "Information about Page Insights data".
We use the services of specialised third parties in order to be able to carry out our activities and activities in a permanent, humane, safe and reliable manner. Such services allow us, among other things, to embed features and content on our website. In such an embedding, the services used record the IP addresses of the users at least temporarily for technically compelling reasons.
For necessary security, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data related to our activities and activities in an aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised form.

We use the opportunity to display targeted advertising on third parties such as social media platforms and search engines for our activities and activities.
With such advertising, we would like to reach people in particular who are already or could be interested in our activities and activities (remarketing and targeting). For this purpose, we may transmit corresponding – possibly also personal – information to third parties who enable such advertising. We can also determine whether our advertising is successful, in particular whether it leads to visits to our website (conversion tracking).
Third parties with whom we advertise and with whom you are logged in as a user may be able to assign the use of our website to your profile there.
In particular, we use:

We try to measure the success and reach of our activities and activities. In this context, we can also measure the impact of third-party information or check how different parts or versions of our digital presence are used ("A/BTest" method). Based on the results of the success and reach measurement, we can fix errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements.
In most cases, the IP addresses of individual users are recorded for success and reach measurement. In this case, IP addresses are generally shortened ("IP masking") in order to follow the principle of data economy through the appropriate pseudonymisation.
Cookies can be used to measure success and reach and user profiles can be created. Any user profiles created include, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our digital presence, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the – at least approximate – location. In principle, any user profiles are created exclusively in pseudonymized form and are not used to identify individual users. Individual third-party services with which users are logged in can at best assign the use of our online offer to the user account or user profile of the respective service.
We have created this privacy policy using the privacy generator from Datenschutzpartner.
We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will inform you about updates by publishing the current privacy policy on our website.
