2. Terms and legal basics
2.1 Terms
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. A person concerned is a person about whom personal data are processed.
Processing includes any handling of personal data, independent of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, collection, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
The European Economic Area (EEA) comprises the member states of the European Union (EU) plus the Principality of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) refers to the processing of personal data as the processing of personal data.
2.2 Legal basis
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law such as, in particular, the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA) and the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA).
We process - if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) is applicable - personal data in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject as well as for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our interest in being able to carry out our activities and operations permanently, in a user-friendly, secure and reliable manner, as well as to communicate about them, to ensure information security, to protect against misuse, to enforce our own legal claims and to comply with Swiss law.
- Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of Member States in the European Economic Area (EEA)

- Art. 6 para 1 lit. a DSGVO for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
- Art. 6 para 1 lit. d DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
3. type, scope and purpose
We process those personal data that are necessary to carry out our activities and operations in a durable, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. In particular, such personal data may fall into the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or marginal data and usage data, location data, sales data, and contract and payment data.
We process personal data for the period that is required for the relevant purpose(s) or by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer necessary will be anonymized or deleted.
We may process personal data for the period of time required by law.
We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may process personal data jointly with third parties or transmit it to third parties. Such third parties are in particular specialized providers whose services we use. We also ensure data protection with such third parties.
We process personal data only with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permitted for other legal reasons. Processing without consent may be permissible, for example, for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre-contractual measures, in order to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests, because the processing is evident from the circumstances or after prior information.
We only process personal data without the consent of the data subject.
In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject provides to us voluntarily when contacting us - for example, by mail, e-mail, instant messaging, contact form, social media or telephone - or when registering for a user account. We may store such information, for example, in an address book, in a customer relationship management system (CRM system) or with comparable tools. If we receive data transmitted to us about other persons, the transmitting persons are obligated to ensure data protection with respect to these persons as well as to ensure the accuracy of this 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, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.
4. Personal data abroad
We process personal data basically in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we may also export or transfer personal data to other countries, in particular to process it or have it processed there.
We may export personal data to all states and territories on Earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that the law there is in accordance with assessment of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or according to decision of the Swiss Federal Council, as well as - if and to the extent the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable - according to decision of the European Commission
We may transfer personal data to countries whose laws do not ensure adequate data protection, provided that data protection is ensured for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other appropriate safeguards. By way of exception, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the specific requirements under data protection law are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract. We will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any safeguards or provide a copy of any safeguards upon request.
5. Rights of data subjects
Data subjects about whom we process personal data have rights under Swiss data protection law. These include the right to information as well as the right to rectification, deletion or blocking of the personal data processed.
Data subjects whose personal data we process may - if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable - request confirmation free of charge as to whether we are processing personal data relating to them. In this case, data subjects may request information about the processing of their personal data, have the processing of their personal data restricted, exercise their right to data portability and have their personal data corrected, deleted ("right to be forgotten"), blocked or completed.
Data subjects whose personal data we process may - if and to the extent that the GDPR applies - revoke any consent they have given at any time with future effect and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
Affected persons about whom we process personal data have a right of appeal to a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
6. Data security
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the risk involved. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

10. Success and reach measurement
We use services and programs to determine how our online offering is used.

Based on the results of the performance and reach measurement, we can in particular fix errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements to our online offering.
When using services and programs for performance and reach measurement, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of individual users must be stored. IP addresses are basically shortened ("IP masking") in order to follow the principle of data economy through the corresponding pseudonymization and thus to improve user data protection.

User profiles include, for example, the pages visited or content viewed on our website, information about the size of the screen or browser window and the - at least approximate - location. In principle, user profiles are created exclusively pseudonymously. We do not use user profiles to identify individual users. Individual services of third parties, to which users are logged in, can assign the use of our online offer at most to the user account or user profile at the respective service.
We use in particular:
