3. Type, scope and purpose

We process the personal data that is necessary to be able to carry out our activities 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 marginal data and usage data, location data, sales data as well as contract and payment data.

We process personal data for the period of time required for the respective purpose(s) or as required by law. Personal data, the processing of which is no longer necessary, will be anonymized or deleted.

We may have personal data processed by third parties . We may process personal data together with third parties or transmit it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialized providers whose services we use. We also guarantee data protection with such third parties.

As a matter of principle, we process personal data only with the consent of the persons concerned. If and to the extent that the processing is permitted for other legal reasons, we may waive the need to obtain consent. For example, we may process personal data without consent in order to fulfil a contract, to comply with legal obligations or to protect overriding interests.

In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject voluntarily transmits to us when contacting us  – for example by post, e-mail, instant messaging, contact form, social media or telephone  – or when registering for a user account. We may store such information, for example, in an address book or with comparable tools. If we receive data about other persons, the transmitting persons are obliged to ensure data protection vis-à-vis these persons and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.

We may export personal data to all countries and territories on earth as well as elsewhere in the universe , provided that the law there guarantees 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 – adequate data protection in accordance with the decision of the European Commission .

We may transfer personal data to countries whose law does not guarantee 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. Exceptionally, 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 data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of any guarantees.

6. Rights of data subjects

6.1 Data protection claims

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

  • Information: Data subjects may request information as to whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data is involved. Data subjects also receive the information that is 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.
  • Rectification 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 personal data deleted ("right to be forgotten") and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data disclosure and data transfer: Data subjects may request the surrender of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.

We may postpone, restrict or deny the exercise of the rights of data subjects to the extent permitted by law. We may inform data subjects of any requirements that may have to be met in order to exercise their data protection claims. 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 may also refuse the deletion of personal data in whole or in part with reference to statutory retention obligations.

We may, exceptionally, provide for costs for the exercise of the rights. We will inform affected persons in advance about any costs.

We are obliged to take appropriate measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Affected persons are obliged to cooperate.

6.2 Right to lodge a complaint

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 controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner  (FDPIC).

If and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation  (GDPR) is  applicable, data subjects have  the right to lodge a complaint with a competent European data protection supervisory authority.

Our digital communications are subject   to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion as well as other surveillance 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 departments and other security authorities.

8. Use of the Website

8.1 Cookies

We may use cookies. Cookies  – our own 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 temporarily stored in the browser 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 recognize a browser the next time you visit our website and thus, for example, to measure the reach of our website. However, permanent cookies can also be used, for example, for online marketing.

Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated or deleted at any time in the browser settings. 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 necessary .

In the case of cookies that are used to measure success and reach or for advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is possible for numerous services via 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).

8.2 Server log files

We may collect the following information for each access to our website, provided that this information is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: Date and time including time zone, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, accessed individual sub-page of our website including amount of data transferred, last accessed in the same browser window (referrer or referrer).

We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is required in order to provide our website in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner and to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data - also by third parties or with the help of third parties.

8.3 Tracking pixels

We may use web beacons on our website. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels  – including those of third parties whose services we use  – are small, usually invisible images that are automatically retrieved when you visit our website. Tracking pixels can be used to collect the same information as in server log files.

9. Notifications and Notices

We send notifications and communications by e-mail and through other communication channels such as instant messaging or SMS.

9.1 Measuring success and reach

Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message has been opened and which web links have been clicked on. Such web links and tracking pixels may also record the use of notifications and messages on a personal basis. We need this statistical recording of usage to measure success and reach in order to be able to send notifications and messages based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients in an effective and user-friendly manner as well as permanently, securely and reliably.

9.2 Consent and objection

In principle, you must expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and your other contact addresses, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. If possible, we use the "double opt-in" procedure for any consent, i.e. you will receive an e-mail with a web link that you must click on to confirm so that no misuse by unauthorized third parties can take place. We may log such consents, including Internet Protocol (IP) address and date and time, for evidentiary and security purposes.

In principle, you can object to receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can at the same time object to the statistical recording of usage for the measurement of success and reach. We reserve the right to make necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and activities.

9.3 Service providers for notifications and communications

We send notifications and communications with the help of specialized service providers.

In particular, we use:

10. Social Media

We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to be able to communicate with interested persons 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 in each case. In particular, these provisions provide information about the rights of data subjects directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, including, for example, the right to information.

If and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is  applicable, we  are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Ireland) for our social media presence on Facebook, including the so-called Page Insights. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is part of the Meta companies (including in the USA). The Page Insights provide information about how visitors interact with our Facebook presence. We use Page Insights to provide our social media presence on Facebook in an effective and user-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 and Facebook's data protection officer can be found in Facebook's privacy policy. We have concluded the so-called " Controller Addendum" 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 "Information on Page Insights" including "Information on Page Insights Data".

11. Third-party services

We use the services of specialized third parties in order to be able to carry out our activities and activities in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such services allow us to embed functions and content into our website, among other things. In the case of such embedding, the services used record the Internet Protocol  (IP) addresses of the users at least temporarily for technically compelling reasons.

For necessary security-related, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data in connection with our activities and activities in aggregated, anonymized or pseudonymized form. It is, for example, performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.

In particular, we use:

In particular, we use:

11.2 Audio and video conferencing

We use specialized services for audio and video conferencing in order to be able to communicate online. For example, we can use it to hold virtual meetings or conduct online classes and webinars. For participation in audio and video conferences, the legal texts of the individual services, such as data protection declarations and terms of use, also apply.

Depending on your life situation, we recommend muting the microphone by default when participating in audio or video conferences, as well as blurring the background or displaying a virtual background.

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, i.e. in particular whether it leads to visits to our website (conversion tracking).

For example, we can also try out and compare how different parts or versions of our online offer are used ("A/B test" method). Based on the results of the success and reach measurement, we can in particular correct errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements to our online offering.

In most cases, the Internet Protocol  (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 appropriate pseudonymization.

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 website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the  – at least approximate  – location. As a matter of principle , any user profiles are created exclusively pseudonymously and are not used to identify individual users. Individual third-party services to which users are logged in may assign the use of our online offer to the user account or user profile of the respective service.

In particular, we use:
