We also inform about the rights of persons whose data we process.  Individual or additional activities and operations may be subject to further data protection  declarations and other legal documents such as general terms and conditions (GTC), terms of  use or conditions of participation.  We are subject to Swiss data protection law and any applicable foreign data protection law, in  particular that of the European Union (EU) with the General Data Protection Regulation  (GDPR). The European Commission recognizes that Swiss data protection law ensures  adequate data protection.

  2. Terms and legal basis
    1. Terms  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, procurement, collection, deletion, storage,  modification, destruction and use of personal data.  The European Economic Area (EEA) comprises the member states of the European Union (EU)  as well as the Principality of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. The Basic Data Protection  Regulation (GDPR) refers to the processing of personal data as processing of personal data.
    2. Legal basis We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law such as, in particular,  the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) and the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (DPA). We process personal data – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation  (GDPR) is applicable – in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:
      1. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data for the fulfillment of  a contract with the data subject as well as for the implementation of pre-contractual  measures.
      2. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data to protect the  legitimate interests of us or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and  interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests are, in particular, our interest in  being able to carry out our activities and operations in a permanent, user-friendly, secure  and reliable manner and to communicate about them, the guarantee of information  security, protection against misuse, the enforcement of our own legal claims and  compliance with Swiss law. 
      3. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data for the fulfillment of  a legal obligation to which we are subject according to any applicable law of member states  in the European Economic Area (EEA). 
      4. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance  of a task that is in the public interest. 
      5. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO for the processing of personal data with the consent of the person  concerned.
      6. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data in order to protect  the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. 
  3. Nature, scope and purpose We process the personal data that is required to carry out our activities and operations in a  permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such personal data may in particular 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 data and contract and payment data.  We process personal data for the period of time required for the respective purpose(s) or as  required by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer required is anonymized or  deleted.  We may have personal data processed by Drine. We may process personal data jointly with  third parties or transfer it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialized  providers whose services we use. We also guarantee data protection for such third parties.  We process personal data only with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is  permitted for other legal reasons. Processing without consent may be permissible, for  example, for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre contractual measures, in order 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 data subject voluntarily provides to  us when contacting us – for example, by letter, e-mail, instant messaging, contact form, social  media or telephone – or when registering for a user account. We may store such information,  for example, in an address book, in a cust- omer relationship management system (CRM  system) or with comparable tools. If we receive data transmitted to us about other persons,  the transmitting persons are obligated to ensure data protection with respect to these persons  as well as to ensure the accuracy of this personal data. We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly  available sources or collect in the course of our activities and operations, if and to the extent  that such processing is permitted by law.
  4. Personal data abroad We process personal data in Switzerland and in the European Economic Area (EEA). However,  we may also export or transfer personal data to other countries, in particular in order to  process it or have it processed there.  We may export personal data to any country or territory in the world and elsewhere in the  universe, provided that the law of that country or territory ensures adequate data protection  as determined by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or  as determined by the Swiss Federal Council and, if and to the extent that the General Data  Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, as determined by the European Commission.  We may transfer personal data to countries whose laws do not guarantee adequate data  protection, provided that data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, in particular on the  basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable guarantees. Exceptionally, we  may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the  special data protection requirements are met, for example the express consent of the data  subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract. Upon  request, we will gladly provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or provide  a copy of any guarantees.
  5. Rights of data subjects Data subjects about whom we process personal data have the rights under Swiss data  protection law. These include the right to information as well as the right to correction,  deletion or blocking of the processed personal data. If and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, data  subjects whose personal data we process may request confirmation free of charge as to  whether we are processing personal data relating to them. In this case, data subjects may  request information about the processing of their personal data, have the processing of their  personal data restricted, exercise their right to data portability, and exercise their right of  access to their personal data.correct, delete (“right to be forgotten”), block or complete personal data. Data subjects whose personal data we process may – if and insofar as the GDPR 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 about whom we process personal data have a right of appeal to a competent  supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the  Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
  6. Data security We take suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to  the respective risk. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.Access to our website takes place via transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the  Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS).

We cannot have any direct  influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police agencies  and other security authorities.
