If you disclose data about other persons (e.g., employees, assistants, representatives, or other affiliated persons) to us, we assume that you are authorized to do so and that this data is correct, and, where a legal obligation to inform applies, that you have ensured that these persons are informed about this disclosure (e.g., by providing them with this privacy policy beforehand).

Processing means any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the collection, storage, use, modification, disclosure, archiving, or destruction of data. We process the data collected in this context for as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose or as required by law.

We use this information to ensure the smooth functioning and system security of our website, as well as to improve the website and analyze its usage.

We generally collect this data directly from you. Occasionally, we may also receive information from our clients about individuals who are not directly related to us, but rather to the client (e.g., data about the client's employees). We also collect certain data from publicly accessible or official sources, such as the commercial register, media, or the internet, including social media.

We primarily store and process your personal data in Switzerland and the EU. However, in connection with the purposes listed in section 6, your personal data may also be transferred to recipients in countries outside of Switzerland or the EU. Data transfers to countries without adequate data protection are based on standard data protection clauses or legal exceptions (e.g., necessity for contract fulfillment).

10. What rights do you have?

You have certain rights regarding your personal data:

• the right to obtain information about what personal data we store about you and how we process it;

11. How are cookies, similar technologies and social media plug-ins used on our website and other digital services?

When you use our website and other digital services, data is generated and stored in log files. We use cookies on our website. Cookies are used to analyze and statistically evaluate how this website is used. The resulting analyses help us improve our website. When you visit our website, cookies, small text files, are stored permanently or temporarily on your computer. If you do not want this, you can disable cookies in your web browser settings. This may result in some website functions not being available to you. Neither the technical data we collect nor the cookies generally contain personal data. However, personal data that third-party providers we commission may store about you can be linked to the technical data or to the information stored in and derived from cookies, and thus potentially to you personally. We also use social media plugins in some cases. Social media plugins are small software components that establish a connection between your visit to our website and a third-party provider. The social media plugin informs the third-party provider that you have visited our website. Furthermore, we use our own tools as well as third-party services (which may in turn use cookies) on our website, in particular to improve the functionality or content of our website (e.g., integration of videos or maps), to compile statistics, and to display advertising. On our website and elsewhere in the digital realm, we use services from the following service providers and advertising partners, whose contact details and further information on the individual data processing activities can be found in their respective privacy policies:

12. How do we process personal data on our social media pages?

We operate pages and other online presences on social networks and other third-party platforms and process data about you in this context. We receive data from you (e.g., when you communicate with us or comment on our content) and from the platforms themselves (e.g., statistics). The platform providers can analyze your usage and process this data together with other data they have about you. They also process this data for their own purposes (e.g., marketing and market research purposes and for administering their platforms) and act as separate data controllers for this purpose. For further information on data processing by the platforms, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective platforms. We currently use the following platforms, and the identity and contact details of the platform operator can be found in their respective privacy policies:

Where the platform operators we use are located outside of Switzerland, you can find information about any data transfers by us abroad under section 9. If you access their services directly (e.g., by visiting our online presence on social media), you are transferring your personal data abroad yourself, not us.
