We only process personal data that we collect directly via our website, the associated applications, via external platforms, via so-called “landing pages” and/or as part of the business relationship with our customers and other business partners. Processing only takes place after consent or if there is a corresponding legal basis.

 

Within the scope of the consent you have given, we will only process your data within the limits of this consent, unless one of the following legal bases applies.

  • Erfüllung des Vertrages mit der betroffenen Person als Vertragspartei oder erforderliche vorvertragliche Massnahmen auf Anfrage der betroffenen Person;
  • Erfüllung erforderlicher rechtlicher Verpflichtungen unseres Unternehmens;
  • Wahrnehmung oder Ausübung einer Aufgabe im öffentlichen Interesse;

The personal data collected will be deleted as soon as we no longer need it for the specified purpose or the purpose of storage no longer applies. On the other hand, data must be stored if the Swiss or European legislator provides for a corresponding obligation. Such obligations exist, among other things, in contract and tax law or may result from the provisions on commercial accounting: Business documents, contracts or accounting vouchers are subject to a retention period of 10 years. This data, which also includes personal data, is blocked should we no longer need it to provide our services. We use them exclusively for the purpose of accounting and taxes.
