This mainly concerns IT service providers but may also involve analysis service providers, debt collection service providers, credit agencies, marketing service providers, etc., where necessary. When these service providers process personal data as processors, they are required to process personal data exclusively according to our instructions and implement measures to ensure data security. Data may also be disclosed to other recipients, such as courts and authorities, in the context of legal proceedings.

    In individual cases, it is possible that we may also disclose personal data to other third parties for their own purposes, for example, if you have given us your consent or if we are legally obligated or entitled to disclose it.

    8. Duration of Data Processing

    We store and process your personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose of processing (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 the data is subject to a legal retention obligation (certain data, for example, is subject to a ten-year retention period, which we must strictly adhere to). We destroy or anonymize your personal data after the storage or processing period has expired, unless legal or contractual obligations prohibit this.

    9. Legal Bases for Data Processing under the GDPR

    Depending on the circumstances, data processing is only permitted if specifically permitted by applicable law. This is not the case under Swiss data protection law, but it applies under the European GDPR, to the extent it is applicable. In this case, we base the processing of your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR)
  • The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(2)(b) GDPR)
  • The processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
  • The processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or in court proceedings (Art. 6(1)(f) and Art. 9(2)(f) GDPR)
  • The processing is necessary for compliance with legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) and (f) and Art. 9(2)(g) GDPR)

    • 10. Rights of Data Subjects

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

  • You have the right to information. This means that you can request information about our data processing. We are happy to provide you with this information. You can also submit a request for information if you wish to receive further information and a copy of your data.
  • You have the right to data portability. This means that you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to have it transferred to another data controller, provided that the corresponding data processing is based on your consent or is necessary for the performance of a contract.
  • You have the right to erasure and objection. This means that you can object to our data processing, preventing us from processing your data. You can also request the deletion of your personal data. However, we would like to point out that we may continue to process and retain your data if we are legally obligated to do so.
  • You have the right to rectification. This means that you can correct or complete incorrect or incomplete personal data or have it annotated with a so-called dispute notice.
  • You have the right to withdraw your consent. This means that you can revoke your consent at any time if you have previously given your consent for data processing. The revocation takes effect from that moment onward, i.e., only for the future and not for the past. However, it may be the case that we continue to process your data based on another legal basis after your revocation.

    • If you exercise your rights as a data subject, we must verify your identity (this is usually done by providing a copy of your ID). The rights of data subjects listed above are subject to legal requirements and limitations. This means that the exercise of these rights may not be fully possible in every case. For example, we may need to continue processing your personal data to fulfill a contract with you, to protect our legitimate interests, or to comply with legal obligations. To the extent permitted by law (e.g., to protect the privacy of third parties and our own legitimate interests, such as the presence of trade secrets), we may restrict or refuse the exercise of your rights. It should also be mentioned that you also have the option to contact the competent data protection authority with your request.
