Processing of personal data
To begin with, we clarify the most important terminology that will be used below for a better understanding. We adhere to the definitions of terms contained in the Swiss Data Protection Act (Art. 3 DSG).
- Personal data: all information relating to a specific or identifiable person.
- Data subjects: individuals or corporations whose data are processed.
- Processing: any treatment of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the procurement, storage, use, rework, disclosure, filing, or destruction of data.
We process personal data in compliance with Swiss data protection law. The legality of the processing of personal data according to GDPR – to the extent this is applicable – is ensured as follows:
- The data subject has consented to the processing of the personal data concerning him/her for one or more specific purposes (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or
- the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract the data subject is a party of or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures which are carried out at the request of the data subject (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR) or
- the processing is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are responsible (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR) or
- the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR) or
- the processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of an official authority, which has been entrusted to us as controller (Article 6, Section 1, item (e) of GDPR) or
- processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests as a controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring the protection of personal data prevail, in particular where the data subject is a child (Article 6, Section 1 item (f) of GDPR).
We process the data collected in order to improve the products and services you request, to manage your use and access to our services and information, to maintain our business relationship with you, to monitor the performance of our offer, and to detect, prevent, or clarify illegal activities.
