With this privacy policy, we inform you which personal data we process in connection with our website and our other services. In particular, we inform you about the purposes for which we process personal data and how we process it. We also inform about the rights of persons whose data we process.
For certain or additional services, other legal documents such as general terms and conditions (GTC), terms of use or conditions of participation may apply.
Our services are subject to Swiss data protection law as well as any applicable foreign data protection law, such as in particular that of the European Union (EU) with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes the 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.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, 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:
We process those personal data that are necessary to provide our offer permanently, user-friendly, secure and reliable. As a matter of principle, we process personal data only with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permitted for other reasons, for example, to fulfill a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre-contractual measures, 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 transmits himself or herself when contacting us - for example, by letter, e-mail, contact form, telephone or social media. If you transmit data about other persons to us, you are obliged to ensure data protection with respect to such persons and to ensure the accuracy of such personal data.
We process personal data for the duration that is required for the respective purpose(s) or by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer required will be anonymized or deleted. Persons whose data we process generally have a right to deletion.
We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may process personal data jointly with third parties or transmit it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialized providers whose services we use. We also ensure appropriate data protection for such third parties.
We process personal data in Switzerland and in the European Economic Area (EEA). Provided that adequate data protection is guaranteed in accordance with the FDPIC or a decision of the Swiss Federal Council, we may also export or transfer personal data to other countries.
We may transfer personal data to countries whose laws do not ensure adequate data protection, provided that data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, in particular by appropriate safeguards in the form of standard contractual clauses. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the special data protection law requirements are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects.
Data subjects whose personal data we process have the rights under Swiss data protection law. These include the right of information as well as the right of correction, deletion or blocking of the personal data processed.
Data subjects whose personal data we process, if and to the extent that the GDPR applies, may request free of charge confirmation as to whether we are processing their personal data and, if so, information about the processing of their personal data, have the processing of their personal data restricted, exercise their right to data portability, and have their personal data corrected, deleted ("right to be forgotten") or blocked.
Data subjects whose personal data we process may - if and in so far as the GDPR applies - revoke consent they have given at any time with effect for the future and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
Data subjects whose personal data we process 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).
We take appropriate and suitable organizational and technical measures to ensure data protection and data security.
For each visit to our website, we collect the following data, if transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure, and store this data in log files:
Such data may constitute personal data. The data is necessary to provide our offer permanently, securely and reliably and to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data - also by third parties or with the help of third parties.
We use cookies on our website. Cookies - also from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) - are text files that are stored in your browser. Cookies can be stored in your browser when you visit our website. In particular, cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit malware such as Trojans and viruses. Cookies are necessary to provide our offer including our website effectively and user-friendly as well as permanently, safely and reliably, in particular by analyzing the use with regard to troubleshooting and improvements.
Cookies can be stored temporarily as "session cookies" in your browser during your visit or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. In particular, cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website and thus, for example, to measure the reach of our website. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.
You can completely or partially deactivate cookies in your browser settings at any time, as well as delete them. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available.
We may send notifications and newsletters via email and other communication channels.
Unless and in so far as the sending is necessary to fulfill a contract with the data subject or to protect our overriding legitimate interests, you must expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and other contact addresses to prevent misuse by unauthorized third parties. For any consent to receive e-mails, we use the "double opt-in" procedure whenever possible, which means that you will receive an e-mail with a web link that you must click to confirm, so that no misuse by unauthorized third parties can occur. We may have notifications and newsletters sent by third parties or send them with the help of third parties.
In principle, you can unsubscribe from notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. By unsubscribing, you can in particular object to the statistical recording of usage for performance and reach measurement. Notifications and communications that are absolutely necessary for our offer remain reserved.
We send notifications and communications via third-party services or with the help of service providers. Cookies may also be used in the process.
In particular, we use:
We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to communicate with interested persons and to provide information about our offer. In doing so, personal data may also be processed outside of Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA).
The General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and Terms of Use as well as data protection declarations and other provisions of the individual operators of such online platforms also apply in each case. These provisions inform in particular about the rights of data subjects, which include, for example, the right to information.
For their own security, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may also process data related to our offer as well as from other sources - including cookies, log files and counting pixels - in aggregated, anonymized or pseudonymized form.
We use third-party services to make use of required digital infrastructure for our offer. These include, for example, hosting and storage services from specialized providers.
We use third-party services to enable the direct playback of audiovisual media, such as music or videos, on our website.
In particular, we use:
We use services and programs to determine how our online offering is used. In this context, we can, for example, measure the success and reach of our online offering and the effect of third-party links to our website. However, we can also, for example, test and compare how different versions of our online offering or parts of our online offering are used ("A/B test" method). Based on the results of the performance and range measurement, we can in particular correct errors, strengthen particularly popular content or make improvements to our online offering.
When using services and programs for performance and range measurement, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of individual users must be stored. IP addresses are generally shortened in order to comply with the principle of data economy through the corresponding pseudonymization and to improve the data protection of visitors to our website ("IP masking").
When using services and programs for performance and range measurement, cookies may be used and user profiles may be created. User profiles include, for example, the pages visited or content viewed on our website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the - at least approximate - location. As a matter of principle, user profiles are created exclusively on a pseudonymous basis. We do not use user profiles to identify individual visitors to our website. Individual services with which you are registered as a user may, if necessary, assign the use of our online offer to your profile with the respective service, although you usually had to give your consent to this assignment in advance.
We use in particular:
We may amend and supplement this privacy policy at any time. We will inform data subjects about such changes in an appropriate form on our website.
