We process your data only in compliance with the relevant legal provisions. The following information refers to the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG) – as far as applicable – while simultaneously taking into account the DSGVO (EU General Data Protection Regulation; GDPR). In the following, we are considered the responsible party for the collection, use and processing of your data.
You can contact us at any time by e-mail and letter post:

2. Data processing, storage and deletion
We only process personal data that we collect directly via our website, the associated applications, via our platforms, via so-called “landing pages” or in the context of the business relationship with our customers and other business partners. Processing only takes place after consent has been given or if there is a corresponding legal basis.
Within the scope of the consent granted by you, we will only process your data within the limits of this granted consent, unless one of the legal bases mentioned below applies. We expressly point out that you can revoke the consent you have given at any time, whereby – lawful – processing actions that have already taken place are not affected by this.
The following reasons come into question as a legal basis:
- Consent of the data subject;
- Fulfilment of the contract with the data subject as a contractual party or necessary pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject;
- Fulfilment of necessary legal obligations of our company;
- Performance or exercise of a task in the public interest;
- Legitimate interests of our company, provided that the interests of the data subject or their fundamental rights are not overridden.
The personal data collected will be deleted as soon as we no longer need it for the stated purpose or the purpose of storage no longer applies. On the other hand, storage must take place if the Swiss or European legislator provides for a corresponding obligation in the respective laws or regulations. Such obligations arise, among other things, from contract and tax law as well as from the provisions on commercial accounting. Business documents, contracts or accounting vouchers require a retention period of 10 years. This data, which also includes personal data but which we no longer need to provide our services, is blocked and subsequently used solely for accounting and tax purposes.
3. Disclosure to third parties
In the course of order processing, it may be necessary to use the services of third parties. In this case, it may be necessary to pass on data to these external service providers in order to provide the services in accordance with the contract. The legal basis for passing on data is identical to the legal basis for lawful processing and can be found under point 2. In any case, we contractually ensure that third parties commissioned to process your data comply with the requirements of data protection. Finally, under certain circumstances we may also be obliged by official and court order to hand over data to third parties or government agencies.
4. Provision of our services and creation of log files
Our system automatically collects and stores – as soon as you call up our website or are redirected to one of our “landing pages” – information in so-called log files. These are:
- Browser type and version
- operating system
- IP address
- Internet service provider
- Date and time
The aforementioned data cannot be directly assigned to any person. The data collected and stored in this way is not merged and stored with other personal data of yours, but is located in our system. The legal basis for the aforementioned collection and storage in log files is the legitimate interests of our company.
The storage in log files exclusively serves the functionality of our services. Furthermore, it supports the optimisation of our services and ensures the security of our information technology systems. In any case, the log files are only stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Deletion is automated after each session.
The collection of your data and its storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of our website; there is no possibility to object to this.
5. Cookies

The IP address transmitted within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged by Google with other data – collected by Google – outside our website.
Data collection by Google signals is activated. Google signals are session data that Google links to users who are logged into their Google account and have activated personalised advertising.
Google will use the stored information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity or internet usage.
