Privacy policy (version of 24.05.2018)

In this privacy statement, we explain how we collect and process personal data. 
This is not an exhaustive description; other data protection declarations may regulate specific matters. 
 

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. If you provide us with the personal data of other persons (e.g. family members, data of work colleagues), please make sure that these persons are aware of this privacy policy and only share their personal data with us if you are allowed to do so and if this personal data is correct. 

This privacy statement is aligned with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Although the GDPR is a regulation of the European Union, it is relevant to us. The Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA) is heavily influenced by EU law and companies outside the European Union or EEA must comply with the DPA in certain circumstances.

 

Collection and processing of personal data 
We primarily process personal data that we collect from users when operating our website. 
Personal data is treated as strictly confidential and is neither sold nor passed on to third parties.
In close cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavor to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
When you access our websites, the following data, for example, is stored in log files: Details of your device and settings, cookies, date and time of visit, pages and content accessed, functions used, referring website, and location details. 

This usage data forms the basis for statistical, anonymous evaluations so that trends can be identified which we can use to improve our offers accordingly.
 

Purpose of data processing and legal basis 
We also use personal data from you and other persons, insofar as this is permitted and appears to us to be appropriate, for the following purposes, in which we (and sometimes also third parties) have a legitimate interest corresponding to the purpose: 

 

1. to offer and further develop our offers, services websites, apps, and other platforms (where available) on which we are present; 

 

2. Communicating with third parties and processing their inquiries (e.g. applications, media inquiries); 
 

3. Testing and optimizing procedures for needs analysis for the purpose of directly approaching customers as well as collecting personal data from publicly accessible sources for the purpose of customer acquisition;

4. Advertising and marketing (including the organization of events), insofar as you have not objected to the use of your data (if we send you advertising as an existing customer, you can object to this at any time and we will then place you on a blocking list against further advertising mailings);

5. Market and opinion research, media monitoring;
 

6. Assertion of legal claims and defense in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;

 

7. Guaranteeing our operations, in particular, IT, our websites, apps, and other platforms;

 

Insofar as you have given us consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (for example, when you register to receive newsletters), we process your persons within the scope of and based on this consent, insofar as we have no other legal basis and we require such a basis. Consent given can be revoked at any time, but this has no effect on data processing that has already taken place.
