The person responsible for data protection at the above postal address, by e-mail to  or can be reached by telephone at +41 78 234 73 78.

B. Personal data and terms

Personal data is information relating to a specific or identifiable (i.e. identified or identifiable) natural person, such as name, address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, etc. (“personal data”).

Any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the collection, procurement, storage, use, processing, disclosure, archiving or deletion of data, is considered processing (“processing” or “processed”).

Contract processor is a natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible (“processor”).

C. Procurement of personal data

You or the persons concerned provide us with some of the personal data yourself by providing it to us, using our services or contacting us by e-mail or telephone. This includes, for example, name, contact details, date of birth, professional function, etc. We also process personal data that we receive from job applicants. We may also collect personal data ourselves, e.g. when you or the company for which you work make use of our services, or we extract data from publicly available sources (e.g. debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, press, Internet, media, social media) (e.g. information from media and Internet, credit information, your addresses and, if applicable, interests and other socio-demographic data). We may also receive data from other companies, from authorities and other third parties (credit agencies, address dealers) or your environment, or when they use our website (see point I). We collect the data mentioned in this paragraph for the purposes set out in point D, unless otherwise referred to.

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (for example when you register to receive newsletters), we will process your personal data within the limits set and based on this consent. If necessary, we can also base the processing of personal data on other legal bases. This includes the fulfilment of a contract, implementation of pre-contractual measures or the protection of further legitimate interests (cf. lit. D).

If you are acting on behalf of a third party or provide us with information about a third party, you represent that you are an authorized representative or agent of that third party and/or that you have obtained all necessary consents from that third party to collect, process, use and disclose their personal information to us or by us in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Please note that your data may be processed outside Switzerland, but only within the EU or the US.

D. Purpose of processing

In particular, we use personal data to fulfill the purposes of our organization, to perform our services and to initiate and process agreements with our customers and business partners, and to comply with our legal obligations. If you work for our customers or business partners, your personal data may also be affected in this function.

In addition, we also process personal data from you and other persons for the following purposes, as far as is permitted and appears appropriate to us:

  • providing and developing our offers, services and websites, and other platforms on which we are present;
  • communication with third parties and processing their inquiries (e.g. applications, media inquiries);
  • customer acquisition;
  • Credit or credit checks
  • advertising and marketing (including holding events), including retargeting,
  • market and opinion research, media monitoring;
  • asserting legal claims and defending in connection with legal disputes and regulatory proceedings;
  • prevention and investigation of crimes and other misconduct (e.g. carrying out internal investigations, data analyses to combat fraud);
  • guarantees for our operations, in particular IT, our websites, apps and other platforms;
  • Buying and selling divisions, companies or parts of companies and other corporate transactions and the associated transfer of personal data.

E. Retention period

Insofar as no express storage period is specified at the time of collection or in this privacy policy, we process and store personal data until it is no longer required to fulfill the purpose, unless legal storage obligations (e.g. commercial and tax storage obligations) preclude deletion. It is possible that personal data may also be stored for the time during which claims can be made and insofar as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or legitimate business interests require this (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes).

Please note that we process cookies and similar data for the maximum period permitted by law, unless you request us to delete them.

F. Rights of the person concerned

A given consent can be withdrawn at any time, but this has no effect on data processing that has already been carried out. In addition, depending on the circumstances and applicable data protection law, you have in particular the right to information, correction, deletion or restriction of processing of personal data, the right to object to processing and to portability (data portability). Please note that the exercise of these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and this may have consequences such as early termination of the contract or cost consequences. In this case, we will inform you in advance where this is not already contractually agreed. We are also entitled to assert the statutory restrictions on your data subject rights, for example if we are obliged to store or process certain data, have an overriding interest in doing so, or need them to assert claims.

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

With regard to your rights and further questions, suggestions and comments on the subject of data protection, please contact the person responsible for data protection using the contact details given above (see point A).

G. Safety

We take appropriate measures to protect personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. For this purpose, we use appropriate technical and organizational measures. However, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the data.

Unless otherwise agreed, we assume no liability for breaches of these safety regulations, unless they are intentional or grossly negligent.

You can contact us at any time if you are aware of any security incident that could compromise the protection of your data. We are obliged to pass on such information to you.

H. Data transfer
