In individual cases, third parties may be responsible for processing personal data, or joint responsibility with third parties may exist. We are happy to provide affected individuals with information about the respective responsibilities upon request.

3. Nature, Scope, and Purpose of Data Processing

We process the personal data that is necessary to carry out our activities and operations in a permanent, user-friendly, secure, and reliable manner. The processed personal data may fall into the categories of browser and device data, content data, communication data, metadata, usage data, master data (including inventory and contact data), location data, transaction data, contract data, and payment data. The personal data may also include special categories of personal data.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources, or collect in the course of our activities and operations, provided such processing is permissible.

We process personal data, where necessary, with the consent of the data subjects. In many cases, we may process personal data without consent, for example, to fulfill legal obligations or to protect overriding interests. We may also request consent from data subjects even if consent is not required.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose. We anonymize or delete personal data, in particular, depending on statutory retention and limitation periods.

4. Automation and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

We may process personal data automatically or use artificial intelligence (AI) for processing personal data.

We may use profiling to automatically evaluate certain personal aspects relating to data subjects. Profiling serves, for example, to analyze or predict interests, behaviors, or personal preferences.

We inform data subjects on a case-by-case basis about decisions based solely on automated processing of personal data that have legal effects or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions).

5. Disclosure of Personal Data

We may disclose personal data to third parties, have it processed by third parties, or process it jointly with third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialized providers whose services we use.

We may disclose personal data, for example, to banks and other financial service providers, authorities, educational and research institutions, consultants and lawyers, interest groups, IT service providers, cooperation partners, credit and business information agencies, logistics and shipping companies, marketing and advertising agencies, media, organizations and associations, social institutions, telecommunications companies, insurers, and payment service providers.

6. Communication

We process personal data to communicate with individuals as well as with authorities, organizations, and businesses. In this context, we process, in particular, data that a data subject provides when contacting us, such as by mail or email. We may store such data in an address book or similar tools.

Third parties who transmit data about other individuals to us are required to independently ensure data protection for the affected individuals. In particular, they must ensure that such data is accurate and may be transmitted.

We use selected services from suitable providers to enable and improve communication with individuals and other communication partners. With such services, we may also manage and otherwise process the data of affected individuals beyond direct communication.

We use, in particular:

7. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of data security appropriate to the respective risk. Our measures ensure, in particular, the confidentiality, availability, traceability, and integrity of the processed personal data, although we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our website and other digital presence is encrypted (SSL / TLS, in particular usingHypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers warn when visiting a website without transport encryption.

Our digital communication—like any digital communication—is subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA), and other countries. We have no direct influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by intelligence agencies, police, and other security authorities. We also cannot rule out that an individual may be specifically monitored.

8. Personal Data Abroad

We process personal data primarily in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we may export or transfer personal data to other countries, in particular to process or have it processed there.

We may export personal data to allcountries on Earthand elsewhere in theuniverse, provided the local law ensures an adequate level of data protection according to thedecision of the Swiss Federal Counciland—if and to the extent the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable—also according to thedecision of the European Commission.

We may transfer personal data to countries whose laws do not ensure adequate data protection if data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, in particular based on standard data protection clauses or other suitable guarantees. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection requirements are met, for example, the explicit consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. We are happy to provide affected individuals with information about any guarantees upon request or provide a copy of any guarantees.

9. Rights of Data Subjects

9.1 Data Protection Claims

We grant data subjects all rights under applicable law. Data subjects have, in particular, the following rights:

  • Information: Data subjects may request information about whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data is involved. Data subjects also receive the information necessary to assert their data protection claims and ensure transparency. This includes the processed personal data itself, as well as, among other things, information about the purpose of processing, the retention period, any disclosure or export of data to other countries, and the origin of the personal data.
  • Correction and Restriction: Data subjects may correct inaccurate personal data, complete incomplete data, and request the restriction of the processing of their data.
  • Right to Express a Point of View and Human Review: Data subjects may express their point of view and request human review for decisions based solely on automated processing of personal data that have legal effects or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions).
  • Deletion and Objection: Data subjects may request the deletion of personal data ("right to be forgotten") and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data Release and Data Transfer: Data subjects may request the release of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.

We may postpone, restrict, or refuse the exercise of data subjects' rights within the legally permissible scope. We may inform data subjects of any conditions to be met for exercising their data protection claims. For example, we may refuse

information in whole or in part with reference to confidentiality obligations, overriding interests, or the protection of other individuals. We may also refuse the deletion of personal data, in particular with reference to statutory retention obligations, in whole or in part.

We may charge costs exceptionally for exercising rights. We inform data subjects in advance of any costs.

We are required to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights with appropriate measures. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.

9.2 Legal Protection

Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims through legal action or to file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

The data protection supervisory authority for private controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is theFederal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

European data protection supervisory authorities are organized asmembers of the European Data Protection Board(EDPB). In some member states of the European Economic Area (EEA), data protection supervisory authorities are structured federally,particularly in Germany.

10.1 Cookies

We may use cookies. Cookies—both our own cookies (first-party cookies) and cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies)—are data stored in the browser. Such stored data is not limited to traditional text-based cookies.

Cookies may be stored temporarily in the browser as"session cookies" or for a specific period as so-called permanent cookies."Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. Cookies enable, in particular, the recognition of a browser on the next visit to our website and thus, for example, the measurement of our website's reach. Permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing.

Cookies can be disabled, restricted, or deleted in the browser settings at any time, in whole or in part. Browser settings often also allow automated deletion and other management of cookies. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We request—at least if and to the extent required by applicable law—explicit consent for the use of cookies.

For cookies used for success and reach measurement or advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is possible for many services viaAdChoices(Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), theNetwork Advertising Initiative(NAI),YourAdChoices(Digital Advertising Alliance), orYour Online Choices(European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).

We log such information, which may also constitute personal data, in log files. The information is necessary to provide our digital presence permanently, user-friendly, and reliably. The information is also necessary to ensure data security—including by third parties or with the help of third parties.

10.3 Tracking Pixels

We may integrate tracking pixels into our digital presence. Tracking pixels are also called web beacons. Tracking pixels—including those from third parties whose services we use—are typically small, invisible images or scripts written in JavaScript that are automatically retrieved when accessing our digital presence. With tracking pixels, at least the same information as in log files can be recorded.

11. Notifications and Messages

11.1 Success and Reach Measurement

Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message was opened and which web links were clicked. Such web links and tracking pixels may also record the use of notifications and messages on a personal level. We need this statistical recording of use for success and reach measurement to send notifications and messages effectively and user-friendly, as well as permanently, securely, and reliably, based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients.

11.2 Consent and Objection

You must generally consent to the use of your email address and other contact addresses unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. For obtaining consent, we may use the"double opt-in" procedure. In this case, you will receive a message with instructions for double confirmation. We may log obtained consents, includingIP addressandtimestamp, for evidence and security reasons.

You can generally object to receiving notifications and messages, such as newsletters, at any time. With such an objection, you can also object to the statistical recording of use for success and reach measurement. Necessary notifications and messages in connection with our activities and operations remain reserved.
