Personal data is any 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, retrieval, erasure, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:

  • lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

  • lit. b) Processing of personal data for the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject and for the performance of related pre-contractual measures.

  • lit. c) Processing of personal data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.

  • lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

  • lit. f) Processing of personal data for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interests 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 as long as is necessary for the purpose or purposes in question. If we are required to retain personal data for a longer period of time due to legal or other obligations, we will limit the processing accordingly.
