3. general principles
3.1 What data we collect from you and from whom we receive this data
First and foremost, we process personal data that you transmit to us or that we collect when operating our website. We may also receive personal data about you from third parties. This may include the following categories:
- Personal master data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
- Contact details (cell phone number, e-mail address, etc.);
- Financial data (e.g. account details);
- Online identifiers (e.g. cookie identifiers, IP addresses);
- Location and traffic data;
- Sound and image recordings;
- particularly sensitive data (e.g. biometric data or information about your health).
3.2 Under what conditions do we process your data?
We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this privacy policy. We pay attention to transparent and proportionate processing.
If, in exceptional cases, we are not in a position to comply with these principles, data processing may still be lawful because there is a justification. In particular, the following grounds for justification may apply:
- Your consent;
- the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
- our legitimate interests, unless your interests prevail.
3.3 How can you withdraw your consent?
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent, unless we have another justification.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an e-mail to the address given in the legal notice. Data processing that has already taken place is not affected by this.
3.4 In which cases can we pass on your data to third parties?
a. Principle
We may need to use the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called processors). The categories of recipients are as follows:
- Accounting, fiduciary and auditing company;
- Consulting companies (legal advice, taxes, etc.);
- IT service provider (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);
- Payment service provider;
- Provider of tracking, conversion and advertising services.
We ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.
We may also be obliged to disclose your personal data to authorities.
b. Visiting our social media channels
We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. You can see this in each case (typically via corresponding icons). If you click on the icons, you will be redirected to our social media channels.
In this case, the social media providers will learn that you have accessed their platform from our website. The social media providers can use the data collected in this way for their own purposes. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the providers.
c. Transfer abroad
Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are obliged to protect data to the same extent as we are. The transfer may take place worldwide.
If the level of data protection does not correspond to that in Switzerland, we carry out a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same level of protection is guaranteed as in Switzerland (e.g. by means of the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we will take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses at the following link. https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de

We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the individual purposes for which the data was collected.
Data that we store when you visit our website is stored for twelve months. An exception applies to analysis and tracking data, which may be stored for longer.
We store contract data for longer, as we are obliged to do so by law. In particular, we must store business communications, concluded contracts and accounting documents 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.
3.6 How do we protect your data?
We will keep your data secure and take all reasonable steps to protect your data from loss, access, misuse or alteration.
Our contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obliged to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases it will be necessary for us to pass on your inquiries to companies associated with us. Your data will also be treated confidentially in these cases.

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set on your device.

However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

4.6 Google Tag Manager
To manage website tags via an interface, we use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not process any personal data. The service triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
By using the Google Tag Manager, scripts (so-called tags) can be automatically activated on our website and data can be transmitted from your browser to Google. This data may include information about your IP address, the browser you are using, the subpages of our website you have visited and other interactions during your visit to our website.

4.16 Google reCaptcha
We use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”) to protect against unwanted requests via the Internet form on our website.
