2. Explanations on Data Processing

The processing of your data by us is carried out strictly in accordance with the legal requirements in Switzerland (in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection "FADP") and the EU (in particular the General Data Protection Regulation "GDPR").

2.1 Legal Basis for Data Processing

In general, the following legal justifications are applicable to the processing of your Personal Data:

a) Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing, Art. 27 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serve as the respective legal basis.
b) In accordance with Art. 27 para. 2 lit. a FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, a contractual relationship may serve as legal basis if the processing of Personal Data is required in direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract. This also applies to processing operations in order to implement pre-contractual measures.
c) Insofar as processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, Art. 27 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR may serve as legal basis.
d) For further processing, we may rely on our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 27 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, for example, to ideally adapt and continuously improve our services to the needs of our customers and to carry out marketing activities in order to be able to offer you suitable products or services and to display advertisements that are relevant to you. If you are of the opinion that our interests described here do not override your interests or basic rights, you have the right to object to these data processing operations at any time within the legal framework (see item 5).

2.2 Scope of Data Processing

2.2.1 Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

Our website collects a number of general data with every visit. These general data and information are stored in the log files of the server. The following data is recorded:

Access status/http status code,
Amount of data transferred in each case,
Internet site from which the request originated,

Operating system.

When using this general data, no allocation to a specific person takes place. The collection of this data is technically necessary to display our website and to ensure its stability and security. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 27 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection. The collection and temporary storage of this data for the purpose of providing the website is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility to object thereto as user.

2.2.2 Contact Form

Our website contains a contact form that can be used to contact us. The transmission of the data entered in the contact form is encrypted (SSL encryption). The data entered into the contact form is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the person requesting contact. These data will not be transmitted to third parties. For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained during the sending process and reference will be made to this privacy policy.

The purpose of using cookies is, on the one hand, to simplify the use of our website for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. On the other hand, however, we also use cookies to make our website more user-friendly, for the analysis of user behaviour on our website, in particular to measure the range of coverage, and for advertising purposes.

The legal basis for processing your data in connection with cookies is Art. 27 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and f GDPR.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.

If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable anymore.

Among other things, we currently use the following cookies for analysis and advertising purposes:
