Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular, the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data following the Swiss data protection law. In all other respects, we process personal data – insofar and insofar as the EU Data Protection Ordinance is applicable – following the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 Data Protection Ordinance:

 

  • lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
  • lit. b) Processing of personal data for the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject and the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.

  • lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests are, in particular, our economic interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the purpose or purposes in question. In the case of longer-term storage obligations due to legal and other necessities to which we are subject, we restrict the processing accordingly.

If the anonymisation is active, Google abbreviates IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. This ensures that no conclusions can be drawn about your identity. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

 

Hence, Google complies with the privacy provisions of the Privacy Shield Agreement. Moreover, the company is registered with the Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield program.
