3.2 Under What Conditions Do We Process Your Data?

We handle your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We ensure transparent and proportionate processing.

If we are unable to comply with these principles in exceptional cases, data processing may still be lawful based on the following legal grounds:

  • Your consent
  • The execution of a contract or pre-contractual measures
  • Our legitimate interests, provided that your interests do not override them.

3.3 How Can You Withdraw Your Consent?

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of that consent unless we have another legal basis.

You may withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address provided in the Imprint. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that has already taken place.

3.4 In What Cases Do We Share Your Data With Third Parties?

a. General Principles

We may need to engage third-party services or affiliated companies to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients may include:

  • Accounting, fiduciary, and auditing firms
  • Consulting firms (legal, tax, etc.)
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.)
  • Payment service providers
  • Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services

We ensure that these third parties and affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and handle your personal data confidentially.

In certain cases, we may also be legally required to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Visiting Our Social Media Channels

Our website may contain links to our social media channels, which are identifiable by corresponding icons. Clicking these icons will redirect you to our social media pages.

Social media providers will then be informed that you are accessing their platform from our website. These providers may use the collected data for their own purposes. Please note that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how it is used by the respective operators.

c. International Data Transfers

In some cases, personal data may be transferred to companies abroad in the course of processing. These companies are subject to the same data protection obligations as we are. Data transfers may occur worldwide.

If the level of data protection in the recipient country does not match that of Switzerland, we will conduct a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure equivalent protection (e.g., using the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally required measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we will implement additional technical measures to protect your data.

Data collected during your visit to our website is stored for twelve months, except for analytics and tracking data, which may be retained longer.

Contract-related data is stored for a longer period due to legal obligations. Business communications, contracts, and accounting records must be retained for up to 10 years. Once data is no longer needed for service execution, it is restricted and used only for accounting and tax purposes.

3.6 How Do We Protect Your Data?

We take all reasonable measures to store your data securely and protect it from loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.

Our partners and employees who have access to your data are required to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, we may need to forward your requests to affiliated companies, but your data will always be treated confidentially.

  • You have provided the data in connection with a contract.

We may restrict or deny access to your data if legal obligations or legitimate interests prevent disclosure.

We will process your request within 30 days, unless legal or technical reasons require an extension.

b. Right to Deletion and Correction

You can request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. However, we may deny your request if legal obligations require us to retain the data or if another legitimate basis exists.

Please note that exercising your rights may conflict with contractual obligations and could result in consequences such as the early termination of a contract or additional costs.

If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or submit a complaint to the relevant supervisory authority.
