3.1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

3.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 31 (1) of the Swiss FADP / Art. 6 (1) lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serve as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract (to which the data subject is a party), Art. 31 (2) lit. a Swiss FADP / Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 31 (1) of the Swiss FADP / Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serve as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 31 (1) of the Swiss FADP / Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serve as the legal basis for the processing.

3.3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the a forementioned standards expires unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
