2. Processing of personal data

2.1 Terms

Personal data is all information that relates 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, irrespective of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, collection, deletion, storage, 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 Basic DataProtection Regulation (DSGVO) describes 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, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act(DSG) and the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (VDSG).

We process – if and insofar as theBasic 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 processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract with the person concerned and for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

· Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the person concerned outweigh the data subject’s own.Legitimate interests are in particular our interest in being able to provide our services permanently, user-friendly, secure and reliable and to advertise them as required, information security and protection against misuse and unauthorised use, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

· Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject according to any applicable law of member states of the EuropeanEconomic Area (EEA).

· Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data to perform a task in the public interest.

2.3 Nature, scope and purpose

We process those personal data that are necessary to provide our services in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Suchpersonal data can 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 as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes or as required by law.Personal data whose processing is no longer required will be made anonymous or deleted. Persons whose data we process have in principle the right to request a deletion.

As a matter of principle, we process personal data only with the consent of the person concerned, unless processing is permitted for other legal reasons, for example to fulfill a contract with the person concerned and for appropriate pre-contractual measures to protect our overriding legitimate interests, because the processing is evident from the circumstances or after prior information.

In this context, we process in particular information that a person concerned voluntarily and personally submits to us when contacting us – for example by letter 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, in a customer relationship management system (CRM system) or with comparable tools. If you transmit personal data about third parties to us, you are obliged to guarantee data protection against such third parties and to ensure the accuracy of such personal data.

In addition, we process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect when providing our services, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted by law.

Personal data from job applications will only be processed to the extent that it is necessary for the assessment of suitability for an employment relationship or for the subsequent execution of an employment contract. The personal data required to carry out an application procedure is derived from the information requested or provided, for example, in the context of a job description. Applicants have the option of voluntarily providing additional information for their respective applications.

2.4 Processing of personal data by third parties, also abroad

We may have personal data processed by commissioned third parties or process it together 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 guarantee appropriate data protection for such third parties.

Such third parties are generally located in Switzerland and theEuropean Economic Area (EEA). However, such third parties may also be located in other states and territories on earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that their data protection law guarantees adequate data protection in the opinion of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC)and – if and insofar as the Basic Data Protection Ordinance (DSGVO) is applicable – 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 the case of third parties in the United States of America (USA), certification in accordance with thePrivacy Shield could guarantee adequate data protection. Exceptionally, such a third party may be located in a country without adequate data protection, provided that the legal data protection requirements are met, such as the express consent of the person concerned.

 

3. Rights of data subjects

Data subjects whose personal data we process have the rights under Swiss data protection law. This includes the right to information and the right to correct, delete or block the processed personal data.

Data subjects whose personal data we process may – if and to the extent that the Basic Data Protection Ordinance(DSGVO) is applicable – obtain confirmation free of charge as to whether we are processing their personal data and, if so, request information about the processing of their personal data, have the processing of their personal data restricted, exercise their right to data transferability and have their personal data corrected, deleted (“right to forget”), blocked or completed.

Data subjects whose personal data we process may – if and insofar as the DS-GVO is applicable – revoke 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 a right of appeal to a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal DataProtection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

4. Data security

We take appropriate and suitable technical and organizational 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 can therefore not guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our online offer is carried out using transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the HypertextTransfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers mark transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.

Access to our online service is subject – as is basically the case with any use of the Internet – to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion and other monitoring by security authorities in Switzerland, the European Union (EU), the United States ofAmerica (USA) and other countries. We cannot exert any direct influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police forces and other security authorities.
