Personal data is all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person. The affected person is a person about whom personal data is processed.

To edit includes every handling of personal data, independently of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, collection, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

The European Economic Area (EEA) comprises of the member states of the European Union (EU) as well as the Principality of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) describes the processing of personal data as the editing of personal data. 

2.2 Legal Bases 

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular, the Federal law on data protection (DSG) and the Ordinance to the Federal Law on Data Protection (VDSG).

We process – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – personal data in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:

  • Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data in order to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms, rights and interests of the person concerned do not prevail. In particular, our legitimate interest in being able to carry out our activities in an ongoing, user-friendly, safe and reliable manner and to be able to communicate about them, guarantee information security, protect against misuse, enforce legal claims and comply with Swiss law.
  • Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of member states in the European Economic Area (EEA).

  1. Nature, Scope and Purpose 

We process personal data that is necessary to be able to carry out our ongoing activities in a way which is user-friendly, safe and reliable. Such personal data may fall under the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or edge data, usage data, location data, sales data as well as contract and payment data.

We process personal data during this duration, which is required for the respective purpose or by law. Personal data that no longer needs to be processed will remain anonymous or deleted.

We may edit personal data through third parties. We may process personal data together with third parties or transfer them to third parties. Such third parties are specialized providers whose services we use. We also guarantee data protection with such third parties.

We process personal data primarily with the consent of the person concerned, unless the processing is permissible for other legal reasons, for example, to fulfil a contract with the person concerned and for corresponding pre-contractual measures to protect our overriding legitimate interests when the processing is evident from the circumstances or by prior information.

In this context, we process particular information that a person submits when contacting us – for example by letter post, e-mail, instant messaging, contact form, social media or telephone – or when voluntarily registering for a user account. We may store such information in an address book or with comparable tools. If you transmit personal data to us via third parties, you are obliged to ensure 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, procure from publicly accessible sources or collect amid our activities, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted by law.

 

  1. Personal Data Abroad 

We process personal data primarily in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we may also export or transmit personal data to other countries for processing either by us or a third party.

We can store personal data in all States and Territories on Earth as well as elsewhere in the universe, if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – and in accordance with the Decision of the European Commission to ensure adequate data protection.

We may transfer personal data to countries whose law does not guarantee adequate data protection, provided data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or other suitable guarantees. In exceptional cases, we may 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 person concerned or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we will be happy to provide affected persons with copies of information relating to any guarantees.

  1. Rights of Data Subjects 

Affected persons whose personal data we process have rights under Swiss data protection law. This includes the rights to information as well as the rights to correction, deletion or blocking of the processed personal data.

Affected persons whose personal data we process can – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – receive confirmation free of charge as to whether we are processing their personal data and, if so, request information about the processing of their personal data, restrict the processing of their personal data, exercise their right to data transferability and have their personal data corrected, deleted (“right to be forgotten”), blocked or completed.

Affected persons whose personal data we process can – if and to the extent that the GDPR is applicable – revoke a given consent at any time with immediate effect and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.

Affected persons whose personal data we process have the right to appeal to a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

We have no direct influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police forces and other security authorities.

User profiles include, for example, the pages visited or content viewed on our website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the approximate location of the user.
