III. General principles

1. Processing of personal data

First and foremost, we process personal data that we collect during the operation of our website or other applications or that we collect from our customers and other business partners in the course of our business relationship with them and additional persons involved. 

We primarily collect your personal data directly from you. We may also receive personal data about you from third parties. This data may include the following categories: 

  • Information from publicly available sources (e.g., media, internet);
  • Information from public registers (e.g. commercial register, debt collection register, land register);
  • Information in connection with official or judicial proceedings;
  • Credit check information (insofar as we conduct personal business with you);
  • Information about you given to us by persons in your environment so that we can conclude or process contracts with you (e.g. references, information from sales and other contractual partners, etc.);
  • Data in connection with the use of the website (e.g. IP address, MAC address of the smartphone or computer, information about your device and settings, cookies, date and time of visit, pages and content accessed, functions used, referring websites, location information).

2. Purposes and legal bases of data processing

We process your data only for specified purposes and only in cases permitted by law. The following reasons may serve as a legal basis:

  • Your consent;
  • The execution of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
  • The fulfillment of legal requirements;
  • Our legitimate interests, unless your interests are overriding;
  • To safeguard vital interests of you or another person or to perform a task in the public interest;
  • Other relevant statutory legal grounds.

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent unless we have another legal basis. 

You can revoke the consent at any time. Data processing that has already taken place is not affected by this.

3. Disclosure to third parties

a. Principle

As part of the provision of our services and the provision of our website, we may need to use the services of third parties. It may happen that we commission third parties with the processing of your personal data. We contractually ensure that these third parties comply with the requirements of data protection. Under certain circumstances, we are also obliged to disclose your data to authorities. We will only pass on your personal data if one of the following conditions is met:

  • Your consent has been given;
  • There is a legal obligation;
  • if this is necessary for the enforcement of our rights, in particular the enforcement of claims arising from the contractual relationship;
  • if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures;
  • if we have a legitimate interest in doing so and your interests to the contrary do not prevail;
  • if another legal permission exists.

b. Transfer abroad

Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of the order processing. These companies are obligated to data protection to the same extent as we ourselves are. The transfer may take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland or the European Union, we will contractually ensure that the same level of protection is guaranteed as in Switzerland or the European Union (e.g. by means of standard data protection clauses of a supervisory authority or other measures prescribed by law).

4. Storage period

We store personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the individual purposes for which the data was collected.

We store contractual data for longer, as we are obliged to do so by legal regulations. In particular, we must retain business communications, concluded contracts and accounting records for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data from you to perform the services, the data will be blocked and we will only use it for accounting and tax purposes.

5. Data security

We will keep your data secure and therefore take all reasonable measures to protect your data from loss, access, misuse or alteration.

Our contractors who have access to your data will be contractually bound to maintain confidentiality and comply with data protection laws. In some cases, it will be necessary for us to pass on your requests to companies affiliated with us. In these cases, too, your data will be treated confidentially.

Within our website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser.

6. Obligation to provide certain personal data

You may be required to provide us with certain personal information in order for us to do business with you. Without such data we are normally not able to process a contract. The website also cannot normally be used if certain information to ensure traffic (such as IP address) is not disclosed.
