Privacy policy

The privacy policy describes how and why we collect, process and use personal data. The responsible handling of data has always been an important concern for us. We are constantly making adjustments to protect our customers’ personal data even better. The protection of your personal data is very important to us.

What data we collect

General personal data

We process your general personal data. Personal data is any type of information relating to an identifiable natural person. The natural person is identifiable if the available information allows conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the person.

Example: Your name, IP address and home address are personal data.

Data provided

You often provide us with your personal data yourself. Whenever you enter your personal data and transmit it to us, it is deemed to have been provided to us. The transfer of data to us is generally voluntary, but in some cases is absolutely necessary in order to be able to use our services.

Example: You enter your data in a contact form or register for a newsletter.

Data collected

When you use our services, we sometimes collect your data without your active participation being required. This data is usually data about your device and data about user behavior.

Example: We collect data about the operating system of the device you used to access our website.

Data transfer

We share your personal data with companies that can decide for themselves how they use the data. This is usually done because it is necessary to comply with legal requirements, when an outstanding debt is transferred to a debt collection agency or to detect fraudulent activity.

Example: A legal regulation obliges us to pass on your data to an authority.

Worldwide

We work with providers from all over the world to process your personal data. This allows us to benefit from a global offering and access the best and most reliable services. The country to which the data is exported may not have the same data protection standards as Switzerland.

Example: We use the services of a cloud provider such as Google, which is based in the USA.

Which services we use

reCAPTCHA

ReCAPTCHA is used to prevent automated programs from acting on a website. It is a process that allows humans to perform some simple tasks that are difficult for computers to solve. These tasks can consist of identifying an image, selecting certain letters or reading and entering a certain sentence. With reCAPTCHA, website owners can ensure that users are actually humans interacting on your site and not automated bots.

Google Web Fonts
How does Google Web Fonts work?

We use so-called web fonts provided by Google on our website for the uniform display of fonts. When you access one of our pages, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

What information do you share with us and how is it used?

The browser you are using establishes a connection to Google’s servers. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Why are we allowed to use Google Web Fonts?

The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. For more information about Google Web Fonts, see the Google Web Fonts FAQs: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq.

  • Personal master data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
  • Contact details (cell phone number, e-mail address, etc.);

6.2 Under what conditions do we process your data?

We process your data in good faith and in accordance with the purposes set out in this privacy policy. In doing so, we ensure transparent and proportionate processing.
If, in exceptional cases, we are unable to comply with these principles, the 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.

6.3 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 revoke 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.

6.4 In which cases can we pass on your data to third parties?

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 providers (only with your prior consent);
  • Providers of tracking, conversion and advertising services (only with your prior consent).
We ensure that data is only passed on with your express consent, provided that this does not involve commissioned data processing. We also 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. Disclosure to partners and cooperation companies
We sometimes work together with various companies and partners who place their offers on our website. It is recognizable for you that it is a third-party offer (marked as “advertising”).
If you take advantage of such an offer, we will transfer your personal data to the relevant partner or cooperation company (e.g. name, function, communication, etc.) whose offer you wish to take advantage of, provided you have given your express prior consent. These partners and cooperation companies are independently responsible for the personal data they receive. Once the data has been transmitted, the data protection provisions of the respective partner apply.
c. Visiting our social media channels
We have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This is visible to you in each case (typically via corresponding icons). If you click on the icons, you will be redirected to our social media channels.

We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the providers.
d. 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 Link.

We may restrict or refuse to provide information or data if this conflicts with our legal obligations, our own legitimate interests, public interests or the interests of a third party.

However, we may extend this period due to a high volume of requests, for legal or technical reasons or because we need more detailed information from you. You will be informed of the extension in good time, at least in text form.

You can request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject the request if statutory provisions oblige us to store the data for a longer period or to store it unchanged, or if your request conflicts with a legal requirement.
