Processing of personal data
Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing covers all handling of personal data, regardless of the tools and procedures used, in particular the retention, disclosure, obtaining, deletion, storage, amendment, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in compliance with Swiss data protection law. In addition to this, provided that and insofar as GDPR is applicable, we process personal data based on the following legal principles:
- Article 6 paragraph 1 (a) GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
- Article 6 paragraph 1 (b) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfil a contract with the data subject and to implement the relevant pre-contractual measures.
- Article 6 paragraph 1 (c) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under an applicable EU law or applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.
- Article 6 paragraph 1 (d) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
- Article 6 paragraph 1 (f) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data in order to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights and interests of the data subject take priority. Legitimate interests notably include our economic interest in being able to publish our website, information security, enforcement of our own legal rights and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the period required for the relevant purpose or purposes. In the case of prolonged storage obligations based on our statutory and other obligations, we restrict processing accordingly.
