Personal data is information that reveals or can reveal the identity of the user. We adhere to the principle of data avoidance. We refrain from collecting personal data as far as possible.
1.2 Handling of personal data
Personal data is used exclusively for the establishment of a contract, the content, implementation or processing of the contractual relationship (Art. 6 I b GDPR). In addition, personal data will only be processed if we have received your consent (Art. 6 I a GDPR) or if there is a legitimate interest in the processing. As a general rule, it will not be passed on to third parties. To process payments, the payment data required for this purpose will be passed on to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and, if applicable, to the commissioned and selected payment service provider. Your personal data will only be processed within Switzerland and the EU.
1.3 Usage data
When you visit the website, general technical information is collected. This includes the IP address used, time, duration of the visit, browser type and, if applicable, the page of origin. For technical reasons, this usage data is recorded in a log file and can be used and stored for the purpose of statistical analysis of this website. This usage data is not linked to your other personal data. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.
The log files contain IP addresses or other data that can be assigned to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data. The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to identify errors and to technically optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
