2. Collection and Processing of Personal Data

We primarily process the personal data we receive from our customers and other business partners and other parties involved in our business relationships, or that we receive when oper-ating our websites.
To the extent permitted, we also obtain certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g., debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, the press, the internet), from authorities, and other third parties. In addition to the data you provide to us directly, the cate-gories of personal data that we receive about you from third parties include, in particular, in-formation from public registers, information that we learn in connection with official and judicial proceedings, information in connection with your professional functions and activities (so that we can, for example, conclude and process transactions with your employer with your help), information about you in correspondence and meetings with third parties, credit reports (insofar as we conduct business with you personally), information about you that people from your environment (family, advisors, legal representatives, etc.) give us so that we can conclude or process contracts with you or with your involvement (e.g. references, your address for deliver-ies, powers of attorney, information on compliance with legal requirements such as the fight against money laundering and export restrictions, information from banks, insurance compa-nies, sales and other contractual partners of ours for the use or provision of services by you (e.g. made payments, made purchases)), information from the media and the Internet about you (as far as this is appropriate in the specific case, e.g. in the context of an application, press review, marketing/sales, etc.), your addresses and, if applicable, interests and other so-cio-demographic data (for marketing), data in connection with the use of the website (e.g. IP address, MAC address of the smartphone or computer, information about your device and settings, cookies, date and time of the visit, pages and content accessed, functions used, referring website, location information).

3. Purposes of data processing and legal bases

We use the personal data we collect primarily to conclude and process our contracts with our customers and business partners, particularly in the context of consulting with our customers and the purchase of products and services from our suppliers and subcontractors, as well as to fulfill our legal obligations at home and abroad. If you work for such a customer or business partner, your personal data may of course also be affected in this capacity.

 In addition, we process personal data from you and other individuals, to the extent permitted and where we deem it appropriate, for the following purposes, in which we (and occasionally third parties) have a legitimate interest corresponding to the purpose

• Offering and further developing our offerings, services and websites, apps, and other platforms on which we are present;
• Communication with third parties and processing their inquiries (e.g., applications, media inquiries);
• Reviewing and optimizing needs analysis procedures for direct customer contact and collecting personal data from publicly accessible sources for customer acquisition;
• Advertising and marketing (including organizing events), provided you have not objected to the use of your data (if we send you advertising as an existing customer, you can object at any time; we will then place you on a blacklist to prevent further advertising mailings)
• Market and opinion research, media monitoring;
• Asserting legal claims and defending ourselves in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;
• Preventing and investigating criminal offenses and other misconduct (e.g., conducting internal investigations, data analyses to combat fraud);
• Ensuring our operations, in particular IT, our websites, apps, and other platforms;

 If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (for example, when you register to receive newsletters or conduct a background check), we will process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis and we require one. Consent given can be revoked at any time; however, this will not affect data processing that has already taken place.

4. Cookies / Tracking and other technologies related to the use of our website

We typically use „cookies“ and similar technologies on our websites that can be used to identi-fy your browser or device. A cookie is a small file that is sent to your computer or automatical-ly saved on your computer or mobile device by the web browser you use when you visit our website. When you visit this website again, we can recognize you, even if we don’t know who you are. In addition to cookies that are only used during a session and deleted after your visit to the website („session cookies“), cookies can also be used to store user settings and other information for a specific period (e.g., two years) („permanent cookies“). However, you can set your browser to reject cookies, save them only for one session, or otherwise delete them prematurely. Most browsers are preset to accept cookies. If you block cookies, certain fea-tures of the website may no longer work correctly.
By using our websites, you agree to the use of these technologies. If you do not want this, you must configure your browser or email program accordingly.
We sometimes use Google Analytics or similar services on our websites. This is a service pro-vided by third parties, which may be in any country in the world, with which we can measure and evaluate website usage (not personally identifiable). For this purpose, permanent cookies placed by the service provider are also used. If you have registered with the service provider yourself, the service provider also knows you. The processing of your personal data by the service provider is then the responsibility of the service provider in accordance with its data protection regulations. The service provider only informs us how our respective website is used (no information about you personally).

5. Data Sharing and Transfer Abroad

• Our service providers (such as banks, insurance companies), including contract proces-sors (such as IT providers);
• Dealers, suppliers, subcontractors, and other business partners;
• Customers;
• Domestic and foreign authorities, offices, or courts;
• Media;
• The public, including visitors to websites and social media;
• Competitors, industry organizations, associations, organizations, and other bodies;
• Other parties in potential or actual legal proceedings; 

6. Duration of Retention of Personal Data

We process and store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or for the purposes pursued by the processing, i.e., for example, for the duration of the entire business relationship (from initiation and processing to termination of a contract) and beyond, in accordance with statutory retention and documentation obligations. Personal data may be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted against our company and to the extent we are otherwise legally obligated to do so or legitimate business interests require it (e.g., for evidentiary and documentation purposes). As soon as your per-sonal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will generally be deleted as far as possible.

7. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access and misuse.

8. Obligation to provide personal data

As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data necessary for estab-lishing and conducting a business relationship and fulfilling the associated contractual obliga-tions. Without this data, we will generally not be able to enter into or process a contract with you. The website cannot be used if certain information required to ensure data traffic (such as IP address) is not disclosed.

9. Rights of the data subject

Within the scope of the data protection law applicable to you and to the extent provided for therein (such as in the case of the GDPR), you have the right to information, rectification, eras-ure, and restriction of data processing. Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert the legally prescribed restrictions, for example, if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have an overriding interest in doing so (to the extent we are entitled to rely on this), or require it to assert claims. If you incur any costs, we will inform you in advance. We have al-ready informed you about the possibility of revoking your consent in Section 3. Please note that exercising these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may result in conse-quences such as early termination of the contract or additional costs. We will inform you in advance of this, unless already contractually agreed.

Exercising such rights generally requires you to provide clear proof of your identity (e.g., by providing a copy of your ID card if your identity is otherwise unclear or cannot be verified). To assert your rights, you can contact us at the address provided in Section 1.

Every data subject also has the right to enforce their claims in court or to file a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

10. Changes

We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. The most current version published on our website applies. If the privacy policy is part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of any changes by email or other appropriate means.
