Accordingly, we adhere to the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the Data Protection Ordinance (DPO) and other applicable legal provisions regarding data protection, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as a matter of course when processing your personal data.
Personal data is information that identifies you or allows you to be identified, including your first name, surname, address and email address.

In addition, we may inform you separately about the processing of your data, e.g., in declarations of consent, contract terms, additional privacy policies, forms or notices.

In principle, we obtain your personal data from you directly. The majority of the data we process is provided by you (or your device) yourself (e.g., in connection with our services, the use of our website and apps, or any communication with us). We are not obligated to disclose your data, with some individual exceptions (e.g., legal obligations). However, in some circumstances, such as if you wish to form a contract with us or make use of our services, you need to provide us with certain specific data. It is also not possible to use our website without some data processing taking place.
We may also take personal data from public sources (e.g., debt enforcement registers, land registers, trade registers, media or the internet, including social media) or obtain it from (i) public authorities, (ii) your employer or contracting entity with whom we have either a business relationship or other dealings, or (iii) other third parties (e.g., clients, counterparties, legal costs insurance, commercial credit agencies, list brokers, associations, contractual partners or internet analysis services).

This involves monitoring and checking electronic access to our IT systems, analyzing and testing our IT infrastructure, and carrying out system and defect inspection.
We use cookies and similar technologies (hereinafter all referred to under the umbrella term “cookies”) on our website and in conjunction with other digital offerings. We may also use cookies or similar technologies (e.g., pixel tags or fingerprints) to recognize repeat users of our website, evaluate their behavior and identify their preferences. A cookie is a small file transmitted between the server and your system, which enables a specific device or browser to be recognized.
We distinguish between the following types of cookies (this also includes technologies with comparable functions such as fingerprinting):
In general, neither technical data nor cookies contain any personal data. However, personal data about you that is stored by us or by third parties commissioned by us (e.g., if you create a user account with us or another provider) may be linked to the technical data or the information stored in and obtained from cookies, and may thus be linked to you individually.
Most internet browsers are set up to accept cookies as standard. If you do not want your browser to do this, you can change the settings in your browser so that it informs you of the use of cookies and allows you to accept them in individual cases only or shut them off altogether. You can also change the settings so cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Moreover, you can delete existing cookies at any time via your internet browser or other software program. The process for checking and deleting cookies depends on which browser you use.
You can reject the use of cookies by changing the settings in your browser. However, you should bear in mind that this might impact how you can use our website. Further information regarding cookies, including managing, rejecting and deleting them, can be found at https://allaboutcookies.org/.

We use the following services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, or if your place of habitual residence is in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in Switzerland, of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (or simply "Google"):
Google usually uses cookies. The cookies used by Google allow us to analyze how our website is being used. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in Ireland or the USA.
According to Google’s own statements, it may process personal information for marketing products in any country in which Google or its subprocessors has premises. Information about the location of Google’s data centers can be found at www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/.
For Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Google Ads, the following subcontractors may be used: https://business.safety.google/adssubprocessors/. Google attests that it ensures an adequate level of data protection by relying on the EU standard contractual clauses (cf. https://business.safety.google/processorterms/).
Further information about Google's personal data processing and privacy settings can be found in its Privacy Policy or the information on its privacy controls.
We use Google Analytics 4 on our website, a web analysis service offered by Google that enables us to analyze how our website is used.
Google Analytics uses cookies stored on a device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) to enable the program to analyze how you use our website. This allows us to evaluate user behavior on our website and use the statistics/reports provided to make our offering more interesting.
Google Analytics 4 anonymizes IP addresses as standard. This means your IP address is shortened by Google within Switzerland or the EU/EEA before it is transmitted. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server before being shortened.
We have concluded a commissioned processing agreement with Google to ensure the data of our site visitors is protected and is not passed on to third parties without authorization. For the transfer of data to the USA, Google invokes the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the level of data protection within the EU. Further legal information on Google Analytics 4, including a copy of the aforementioned standard contractual clauses, can be found here.
Demographics: Google Analytics 4 uses a special “demographics” function and can generate statistics that provide information about the age, gender and interests of a website’s visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third party providers. It allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be attributed to a specific person and is stored for two months before being deleted.
Google Signals: In addition to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on the website to create cross-device reports. If you have activated personalized ads and linked your devices via a Google account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across different devices for the purposes of Google Analytics 4 and generate database models on things like cross-device conversions. We only receive statistics from Google, not personal data. If you want to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the “Personalized ads” function in your Google account settings. This page provides instructions on how to do this.
User IDs: In addition to Google Analytics 4, the “User ID” function may be used on the website. If you log into this account on multiple devices, your activity, including conversions, can be analyzed across different devices.
Google uses this information to evaluate your [pseudonymous] use of our websites, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website and internet use. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data. When you visit our websites, your user behavior in the form of events (such as page views, purchase activities including revenue amounts, interaction with the website or your “click path”) and other data such as your approximate location (country and city), technical information about your browser and the devices you use or the referrer URL, i.e., what website / advert brought you to our website, is recorded.
You can prevent the data generated by cookies that relates to your use of our website (including your IP address) from being collected and transmitted to Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser add-on that deactivates Google Analytics. If you wish to object to personalized advertising by Google, you can use Google settings and opt-out options.
If you allow cookies, Google Analytics will store your data for two months. Data that has reached the end of this retention period is automatically deleted. For an overview of how data is used in Google Analytics and the steps Google has taken to protect your data, please see the Google Analytics Help.
We use Google Tag Manager to integrate Google analysis and marketing services into our website and to maintain and manage them. Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that generates and monitors tags on a user interface without having to write new code every time. The tagging tool itself is a cookie-less domain and does not collect personal data. However, the tool does trigger other tags that collect data under certain circumstances. But Google Tag Manager itself does not access this data.
If you have deactivated settings at domain or cookie level, this applies to all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Further information about Google Tag Manager can be found in Google’s use policy.
CAPTCHA is the acronym for Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart. This is a test designed to tell humans and machines/robots (or “bots”) apart.
reCAPTCHA is a CAPTCHA service by Google that attempts to determine whether a particular action on the internet has been carried out by a human or computer program. reCAPTCHA is used as part of the double opt-in process of subscribing to our newsletter.
Further information on data processing and data protection by reCAPTCHA can be found under: Google Terms of Service – Privacy Policy & Terms of Service – Google.
Google Maps is integrated into our website. This allows us to display interactive maps directly in our website and enables convenient use of the map function.
When you use Google Maps, information about your use of our website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in Ireland or the USA. Google may store this data as usage profiles for the purpose of tailoring services, advertising and market research. If you are registered with Google, your data will be allocated directly to your account. To avoid this, you need to sign out of your Google account beforehand. If you do not consent to your data being processed, it is possible to deactivate Google Maps to prevent data being transmitted to Google. To do this, you need to deactivate the JavaScript function in your browser. However, please note that you will not be able to use Google Maps in this case, or only to a limited extent.
This data processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in the analysis, optimization and financial operation of our services).
In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing way across all browsers, we sometimes use script and/or font libraries (Google Fonts) on our website to display fonts. Google Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid pages loading multiple times. If your browser does not support Google Fonts or prohibits access to them, content will be displayed in the default font.
Using script or font libraries automatically establishes a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible for Google to collect personal data as part of this (e.g., IP address) and transmit it to a server in Ireland or the USA.
Further information on Google Fonts can be found at Frequently Asked Questions | Google Fonts | Google Developers and in Google's privacy notice: Privacy Notice – Privacy Notice & Terms of Service – Google.
You can prevent Google Fonts from processing data by deactivating JavaScript in your browser or installing a JavaScript blocker. Please note that this will cause some functionality to be lost.
On the basis of our legitimate interest, we use the online advertising program Google Ads, which is part of Google’s marketing services and is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, or if your place of habitual residence is in the European Economic Area (EEA) or in Switzerland, of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Ads places a cookie on your device (known as a “conversion cookie”) if you used a Google advertisement to navigate to our website. These cookies stop being valid after 30 days, do not contain any personal data, and do not allow you to be personally identified. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were brought to our website. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This ensures that it is not possible to track cookies via Ads customers’ websites. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. We do not receive any information that would allow you to be personally identifiable.
The information collected by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA or Ireland. Based on the information collected, your browser is assigned categories relevant to your interests. These categories are used to place personalized ads.
Using Google Ads allows us to reach users that have already visited our website. This allows us to show our advertisements to target groups who are already interested in our products or services.
It is also possible to reject personalized Google ads. To do this, you need to click on the following link: https://myadcenter.google.com via each of the web browsers you use and change the settings accordingly.
Further information on the terms of service and data protection in the context of Google AdWords can be found via this link.
Google Marketing Platform (GMP) is a marketing tool provided by Google that places and displays personalized ads to visitors of our website and the websites of third parties. In the process, a pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser in order to check which ads have been displayed in your browser and which ads have been selected. The use of GMP cookies allows Google to place ads on the basis of previous visits to our website or other websites.
You can prevent the cookies this tool uses from being stored by deactivating JavaScript in your browser settings or installing a tool such as “NoScript”. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies that relates to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being processed by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

We choose our partners and subprocessors carefully and only trust them if we are sufficiently convinced that they have the appropriate technical and organizational measures in place to comply with legal requirements. Our subprocessors may only process personal data if they have received documented instruction from us to do so. They are all subject to confidentiality obligations and may use your personal data only to the extent necessary to fulfill the purpose for which your personal data was collected, unless required by law to do otherwise.
We process and store personal data primarily in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA), but we may potentially do so in any country in the world, depending on the circumstances – for example, via subcontractors of our service providers or as part of proceedings before foreign courts or authorities.
In the event that we disclose your personal data to third parties abroad (i.e., outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA)), these third parties are bound by the same scope of data protection compliance that we are. If the relevant country does not have a sufficient level of data protection but there is no suitable alternative, we will ensure that your data is protected to that level.
We ensure this by having the relevant companies agree to the standard data protection clauses of the EU Commission (available here) or of the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) and/or with other guarantees that comply with the applicable data protection law. If this is not possible, we only disclose data where disclosure is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract.
We only process and store your data for the duration required to achieve the stated purpose, or if it is required by any laws or regulations to which we are subject. If the purpose of storage no longer exists or the prescribed retention period has elapsed, we delete the data or make it unavailable as a matter of routine, in line with legal requirements. In addition to this, we also delete data if you ask us to and if there is no legal reason why or other retention or security obligation under which we would need to keep this data.

We take technical and organizational security precautions to protect your personal data from being manipulated, lost, destroyed or accessed by unauthorized persons and to ensure that your rights are protected and that we are complying with the applicable data protection laws (e.g., encryption technologies, etc.).
We are continuously adapting our data processing and security measures in line with technological developments.

You can contact us about your rights via the contact information provided in Section 1.
In addition, you can lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law.
