6. Online advertising techniques

We use online advertising technologies such as cookies on our website. We use these to measure the user-friendliness and success of the website and online advertising campaigns.

6.1. What are online advertising techniques such as cookies?

When we track you, we can distinguish your access from that of other users so that we can ensure the functionality of the website and carry out statistical evaluations. Each time you visit a page, you will be identified as an individual

The visitor or individual visitor is recognized and can thus be distinguished from other people, for example by the server assigning a unique identification number to your browser (this is then referred to as a so-called "cookie"). Cookies are

automatically stored on your device when you visit our website. We use cookies, for example, to save settings between your visits to the website or to collect statistical, technical data.

6.2 Which cookies or online advertising technologies do we use?

We use analytics services to help us optimize our website. Below we explain how our most important analytics service providers work by way of example. Other third-party providers of corresponding tools generally process personal data in a similar way.

Google Analytics, an analysis service from Google LLC and Google Ireland Ltd. Google Ireland Ltd. is responsible for processing personal data. Google uses cookies and online advertising techniques to analyze certain information about the behavior of individual users on the website. On the basis of the analyzed data, Google provides us with evaluations, but also processes data for its own purposes. Information on data protection at Google Analytics can be found here. Facebook Pixel, an analysis tool from Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. This enables us to control ads on Facebook and Facebook partners so that they are only shown to those users who might be interested in the corresponding advertising. The data is stored on servers in the EEA and the USA. Users can send requests for information and other inquiries directly to Meta. Information on data protection at Meta can be found here.

7. Disclosure of data to other companies and other recipients

We disclose your personal data to service providers. This particularly applies to IT service providers, but can – where necessary – affect analysis service providers, debt collection service providers, credit agencies, marketing service providers, etc. To the extent that these service providers process personal data as contract processors, they are obliged to process personal data exclusively in accordance with our instructions and to take measures to ensure data security. Data can then also be disclosed to other recipients, e.g. to courts and authorities in the context of legal proceedings.

In individual cases, it is possible that we may pass on personal data to other third parties for their own purposes, e.g. if you have given us your consent to do so or if we are legally obliged or entitled to do so.

8. Personal data abroad

Recipients of data (e.g. other companies or authorities) are not only in Switzerland. This particularly applies to certain service providers. These can also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, in particular the USA, i.e. also in other countries around the world. We can, for example, transmit data to authorities abroad if we are legally obliged to do so. Not all countries outside Switzerland and the EEA have the same level of data protection as in Switzerland. We therefore compensate for the lower level of protection with appropriate contracts, in particular the so-called standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission and recognized by the Swiss Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

In certain cases, we may transfer data in accordance with data protection requirements even without these contracts, e.g. if you have consented to a specific disclosure of data or if the disclosure is necessary for the performance of the contract or the enforcement of legal claims or for overriding public interests.

9. Duration of data processing

We store and process your personal data as long as it is necessary for the purpose of processing (for data related to contracts, this is usually for the duration of the contractual relationship), as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing the data (e.g. to enforce legal claims or to ensure IT security)

and as long as data is subject to a statutory retention period (for example, certain data is subject to a ten-year retention period that we are required to adhere to). We will destroy or anonymize your personal data after the storage or processing period has expired, unless legal or contractual obligations prohibit this.

10. Rights of data subjects

You have certain rights under applicable data protection law to obtain further information about our data processing and to influence it. These are in particular the following rights:

You have a right to information. This means that you can request information about our data processing. We are happy to help you with this. You can also make a so-called request for information if you would like further information and a copy of your data.You have a right of transfer. This means that you have the right to receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to have it transferred to a third party, provided that the corresponding data processing is based on your consent or is necessary to fulfill the contract.You have a right to deletion and objection. This means that you can object to our data processing so that we can no longer process your data. You can then request that we delete your personal data. However, we would like to point out that we will continue to process and store your data if we are obliged to do so.You have a right to rectification. This means that you can correct or complete incorrect or incomplete personal data or have it marked with a so-called objection note.You have a right to revoke. This means that you can revoke your consent at any time, provided that you have previously given your consent for data processing. The revocation is valid from this moment, i.e. only for the future and not for the past. However, in the event of your revocation, we may continue to process your data on a different basis.

If you assert your rights as a data subject, we must verify your identity (this is done, for example, by sending a copy of your ID card). The data subject rights listed are then subject to legal requirements and restrictions. This means that the exercise of rights is not always possible in full. For example, we must continue to process your personal data in order to fulfil an order with you, to protect our own legitimate interests or to meet legal obligations. To the extent that it is legally permissible (e.g. to protect the privacy of third parties and to protect our own legitimate interests such as the existence of trade secrets), we can restrict or refuse to exercise your rights. It should also be mentioned that you also have the option of contacting the responsible data protection authority with your request.
