2. Definitions
Definitions of the terms used (e.g., “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 of the GDPR.
3. General Information on Data Processing
Trust is important, especially when it comes to your data. For this reason, we consider it our duty to collect only the data that is absolutely necessary, to handle it with due care, and to protect it against misuse.
3.1. Scope of Processing Personal Data
We only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Such personal data may include master and contact data, content data, usage data, metadata, as well as contract and payment data.
We only process personal data with the consent of the person concerned, unless processing is permitted by other legal grounds, such as the fulfillment of a contract with the data subject or for corresponding pre-contractual measures, to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests, because the processing is evident from the circumstances, or after prior information.
3.2. Recipients of Personal Data
We may have personal data processed by third parties, particularly by processors, or jointly with third parties or with the help of third parties, or transmit it to third parties. These third parties are particularly service providers whose services we use.
3.3. Data Deletion and Storage Duration
Your data is stored after collection for as long as necessary for fulfilling our purposes, complying with legal retention obligations, or for legitimate interests. Personal data that is no longer required will be anonymized or deleted.
3.4. Your Rights (Rights of the Data Subject)
Data subjects whose personal data we process have the rights under Swiss data protection law, including the right to access and the right to rectify, delete, or block the processed personal data.
Where and to the extent that the GDPR applies, data subjects may also request free confirmation of whether we are processing their personal data and, if so, request information about such processing, restrict processing, exercise the right to data portability, and have their data corrected, deleted (“right to be forgotten”), blocked, or completed.
You may also withdraw your consent at any time with future effect or object to the processing of your personal data at any time.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data protection and, in particular, data security. However, processing personal data on the internet may have security vulnerabilities despite these measures. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
