2. Processing of personal data
2.1 Terms
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is being processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, collection, deletion, saving, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
The European Economic Area (EEA) comprises the European Union (EU) as well as 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 bases
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).
Where and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we process personal data in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:
Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our interest in providing our services in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner and, if necessary, in advertising them, information security and protection against misuse and unauthorised use, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of Member States of the European Economic Area (EEA).
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to perform a task carried out in the public interest.
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
2.3 Nature, scope and purpose
We process the personal data that is necessary to provide our services in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. 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, contract and payment data.
We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose or purposes or as required by law. Personal data that no longer needs to be processed is anonymised or deleted. Persons whose data we process have a fundamental right to have it deleted.
We only process personal data with the consent of the data subject, unless processing is permitted for other legal reasons, for example to fulfil a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre-contractual measures, to protect our overriding legitimate interests, because processing is apparent from the circumstances or after prior information.
In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject voluntarily provides to us when contacting us – for example, by post, e-mail, contact form, social media or telephone – or when registering for a user account. We may store such information in an address book, a customer relationship management system (CRM system) or similar tools. If you provide us with personal data about third parties, you are obliged to ensure data protection for such third parties and to ensure the accuracy of such personal data.
We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect when providing our services, provided that such processing is permitted for legal reasons.
Personal data from job applications is only processed to the extent that it is necessary for assessing suitability for employment or for the subsequent execution of an employment contract. The personal data required for the implementation of an application process is derived from the information requested or provided, for example in the context of a job advertisement. Applicants have the option of voluntarily providing further information for their respective applications.
2.4 Processing of personal data by third parties, including abroad
We may have personal data processed by commissioned third parties or process it jointly with third parties or with the help of third parties or transfer it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, providers whose services we use. We also ensure adequate data protection with such third parties.
Such third parties are generally located in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, such third parties may also be located in other countries and territories on Earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that their data protection laws, in the opinion of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) and – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies – in the opinion of the European Commission – or if adequate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, such as through a corresponding contractual agreement, in particular on the basis of standard contractual clauses, or through corresponding certification. In exceptional cases, such a third party may be located in a country without adequate data protection, provided that the data protection requirements, such as the express consent of the data subject, are met.
3. Rights of data subjects
Data subjects whose personal data we process have rights under Swiss data protection law. These include the right to information and the right to correction, 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) applies – request confirmation free of charge as to whether we process their personal data and, if so, 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 – withdraw their consent at any time with effect for the future and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
Data subjects whose personal data we process have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
4. Data protection
We take appropriate and suitable technical and organisational measures to ensure data protection and, in particular, data security. However, despite such measures, the processing of personal data on the internet can always have security gaps. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute data security.
Access to our online offering is provided using transport encryption (SSL/TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated to HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.
Access to our online offering is subject – as is all Internet use in general – to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion, as well as other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the European Union (EU), the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We have no direct influence on the processing of personal data by secret services, police forces and other security authorities.
5. Use of the website
5.1 Cookies
We may use cookies on our website. Cookies – both our own cookies (first-party cookies) and cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) – are data that are stored in your browser. Such stored data are not necessarily limited to traditional cookies in text form. Cookies cannot execute programmes or transmit malware such as Trojans and viruses.
When you visit our website, cookies may be stored in your browser temporarily as ‘session cookies’ or for a specific period of time as so-called permanent cookies. ‘Session cookies’ are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. In particular, they enable your browser to be recognised the next time you visit our website, thereby allowing us to measure the reach of our website, for example. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.
You can deactivate and delete cookies in your browser settings at any time, either completely or partially. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We actively request your express consent for the use of cookies, if and to the extent necessary.
For cookies used to measure success and reach or for advertising, a general objection (‘opt-out’) is possible for numerous services via the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).
5.2 Server log files
We may collect the following information for each visit to our website, provided that it is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: Date and time including time zone, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual sub-pages of our website accessed including the amount of data transferred, last website accessed in the same browser window (referrer).
We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is necessary in order to provide our online offering in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner and to ensure data security and, in particular, the protection of personal data – including by third parties or with the help of third parties.
6. Third-party services
We use third-party services to ensure that our offering is permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable. These services also enable us to embed content in our website. Such services – for example, hosting and storage services, video services and payment services – require your Internet Protocol (IP) address, as otherwise they would be unable to transmit the relevant content. Such services may be located outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA), provided that adequate data protection is guaranteed.
For their own security-related, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may also process data in connection with our offering and from other sources – including cookies, log files and tracking pixels – in aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised form.
6.1 Digital infrastructure
We use third-party services to provide the digital infrastructure required for our offering. These include, in particular, hosting and storage services from specialised providers. Such providers process the data required to operate this infrastructure, usually exclusively on our behalf. This includes, in particular, your Internet Protocol (IP) address. We also ensure adequate data protection with such providers.
