2.1 Definitions

• Personal Data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
• Particularly Sensitive Personal Data: This includes data on trade union, political, religious, or philosophical views and activities; health data; intimate sphere; ethnicity or race; genetic data; biometric data that uniquely identify a person; data on criminal or administrative sanctions; and data on social assistance measures.

2.2 Legal Basis
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection laws, including the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the Data Protection Ordinance (DPO).

3. Type, Scope, and Purpose of Processing

We process the personal data necessary to perform our activities and services in a sustainable, user-friendly, secure, and reliable manner. Such data may include categories like account and contact data, browser and device data, content data, metadata, usage data, location data, sales data, and contract or payment data.

We process personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or purposes or as legally required. Data no longer needed is anonymized or deleted.

We may have personal data processed by third parties, jointly process personal data with third parties, or transfer it to third parties, particularly specialized service providers. In doing so, we ensure data protection even with third parties.

We generally process personal data only with the consent of the data subject. However, if processing is legally permissible without consent, we may forego obtaining consent—for example, to fulfill a contract, comply with legal obligations, or protect overriding interests.

We also process personal data obtained from third parties, publicly accessible sources, or collected during our activities and services, as long as such processing is legally permitted.

4. Communication

We process personal data to communicate with third parties. In this context, we process data provided by the data subject, such as via postal mail or email. Such data may be stored in an address book or comparable tools.

Third parties transmitting data about others must ensure data protection for the affected individuals, including the accuracy of the transmitted data.

5. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security in accordance with the respective risk. These measures guarantee the confidentiality, availability, traceability, and integrity of processed personal data, although absolute data security cannot be guaranteed.

Access to our website and online presence is via transport encryption (SSL/TLS, particularly HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a small padlock in the address bar.

Our digital communication is subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion by security authorities in Switzerland, Europe, the United States, and other countries. We have no direct influence over the corresponding data processing by intelligence services, police, or other security authorities and cannot rule out targeted surveillance of individual data subjects.

6. Personal Data Abroad

We primarily process personal data in Switzerland. However, we may transfer or export personal data to other countries for processing.

We may transfer personal data to any country or territory on Earth or elsewhere in the universe, provided that the Swiss Federal Council has deemed the respective country’s data protection adequate.

For countries without adequate data protection, we ensure appropriate safeguards through standard data protection clauses or other measures. In exceptional cases, we may export personal data without adequate protection if specific conditions are met, such as the data subject’s explicit consent or a direct connection to contract fulfillment.

7. Rights of Data Subjects

7.1 Data Protection Rights
Data subjects have the following rights under applicable data protection laws:

• Access: To know whether their data is being processed and, if so, what data is being processed.

• Deletion and Objection: To delete their data or object to its processing.
• Data Portability: To request the transfer of their data to another entity.

We may delay, limit, or deny the exercise of these rights where legally permissible. In some cases, the exercise of rights may incur costs, and data subjects will be informed of such costs beforehand.

7.2 Legal Remedies
Data subjects have the right to assert their claims through legal channels or lodge complaints with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
