We are pleased about your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide detailed information about how we handle your data. The processing of your data is carried out on the basis of the GDPR as well as pursuant to § 165 para. 3 TKG.
GENERAL NOTICE
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy as well as protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as effectively as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. No data will be passed on to third parties without your consent.
PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Personal data means all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, collection, deletion, saving, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, where and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:
a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
c) Processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under the law of a country where the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms, fundamental rights, and interests of the data subject do not prevail. Legitimate interests include in particular our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the period necessary for the respective purpose(s). In the case of longer retention obligations due to statutory or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Within the framework of fulfilling contracts, we use the payment service providers on the basis of the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance and, where necessary, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Otherwise, we use external payment service providers on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance and, where necessary, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, in order to offer our users effective and secure payment options.
The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data such as name and address, bank data such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums as well as contract, amount, and recipient-related details. The information is required to carry out the transactions. However, the entered data is processed and stored only by the payment service providers. As operators, we receive no information about (bank) accounts or credit cards, but only information confirming (acceptance) or rejecting the payment. Under certain circumstances, data may be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. This transmission serves the purpose of identity and creditworthiness checks. In this regard, we refer to the GTC and privacy notices of the payment service providers.
The terms and conditions and privacy notices of the respective payment service providers apply to payment transactions and are available within the respective website or transaction applications. We also refer to these for further information and the assertion of rights of revocation, access, and other data subject rights.
AGENCY SERVICES
We process the data of our customers in accordance with the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DPA) and the EU GDPR within the scope of our contractual services.
In doing so, we process inventory data (e.g., master customer data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers), content data (e.g., text entries), contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, duration), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history), usage and metadata (e.g., in the context of evaluation and success measurement of marketing measures). Data subjects include our customers, interested parties and their customers, users, website visitors or employees as well as third parties. The purpose of processing is the provision of contractual services, billing, and customer service. The legal bases arise from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contractual services) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data necessary for establishing and fulfilling contractual services and indicate the necessity of providing such data. Disclosure to external parties occurs only if required within the framework of an assignment. When processing data provided to us within the scope of an assignment, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and do not process the data for purposes other than those specified in the assignment.
We delete data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations. The necessity of retaining data is reviewed at irregular intervals. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry. In the case of data disclosed to us within the framework of an assignment by the client, we delete the data in accordance with the assignment requirements, generally after the end of the assignment.
CONTRACTUAL SERVICES
We process the data of our contractual partners and interested parties as well as other clients, customers, principals, or contractual partners (collectively referred to as “contractual partners”) in accordance with the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DPA) and the EU GDPR pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR in order to provide them with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The processed data, its type, scope, purpose, and necessity are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.
Processed data includes master data (e.g., names and addresses), contact data (e.g., email addresses and telephone numbers), contract data (e.g., services used, contract contents, contractual communication, names of contact persons), and payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history).
We generally do not process special categories of personal data unless they are components of commissioned or contractually required processing.
We process data required to establish and fulfill contractual services and point out the necessity of providing such data unless this is evident to the contractual partners. Disclosure to external persons or companies takes place only if required within the framework of a contract. When processing data provided to us within the framework of an assignment, we act in accordance with the client’s instructions and statutory requirements.
Within the framework of using our online services, we may store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. Storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as the users’ interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. Disclosure of this data to third parties generally does not take place unless it is necessary for pursuing our claims pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or there is a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
Data is deleted when it is no longer required to fulfill contractual or statutory duties of care and to handle any warranty or comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of retention is reviewed at irregular intervals. Otherwise, statutory retention obligations apply.
