We attach great importance to the transparent handling of personal data. This privacy policy provides information about what personal data we collect, for what purpose and to whom we pass it on. To ensure a high level of transparency, this privacy policy is regularly reviewed and updated.

First and foremost, we process personal data that you transmit to us or that we collect when operating our website. We may also receive personal data about you from third parties. These can be the following categories:
We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this privacy policy. We pay attention to transparent and proportionate processing.
If, in exceptional cases, we are not in a position to comply with these principles, the data processing may still be lawful because there is a justification. One possible justification is the following:
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent, unless we have another justification.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an e-mail to the address given in the legal notice. Data processing that has already taken place is not affected by this.
We may need to use the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients are named:
We ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.
We may also be obliged to disclose your personal data to authorities.
We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. You can see this in each case (typically via corresponding symbols). If you click on the icons, you will be redirected to our social media channels.
In this case, the social media providers will learn that you are accessing their platform from our website. The social media providers can use the data collected in this way for their own purposes. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the operators.
Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are obliged to protect data to the same extent as we are. The transmission can take place worldwide.
If the level of data protection does not correspond to that in Switzerland, we carry out a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same level of protection is guaranteed as in Switzerland (e.g. by means of the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we will take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses at the following link. https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de
We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the individual purposes for which the data was collected.
Data that we store when you visit our website is retained for twelve months. An exception applies to analysis and tracking data, which can be stored for longer.
We store contract data for longer, as we are obliged to do so by law. In particular, we must retain business communications, concluded contracts and accounting documents for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data from you to perform the services, the data will be blocked and we will only use it for accounting and tax purposes.
We will keep your data secure and take all reasonable steps to protect your data from loss, access, misuse or alteration.
Our contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obliged to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases it will be necessary for us to pass on your requests to companies associated with us. Your data will also be treated confidentially in these cases.
Within our website, we use the SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser.

You also have the right to receive your data in a commonly used file format if we process your data automatically, and if:
We may restrict or refuse to provide information or data if this conflicts with our legal obligations, our own legitimate interests, public interests or the interests of a third party.
The processing of your application is subject to the statutory processing period of 30 days. However, we may extend this period due to a high volume of inquiries, for legal or technical reasons or because we need more detailed information from you. You will be informed of the extension of the deadline in good time, at least in text form.
You have the option to request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject the request if we are required by law to store the data for a longer period or to store it unchanged, or if your request conflicts with an authorization requirement.
Please note that exercising your rights may be in conflict with contractual agreements and may have corresponding effects on the performance of the contract (e.g. premature termination of the contract or cost consequences).
If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch
