We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR - insofar as and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable:

lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the person concerned.
lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfil a contract with the data subject and to carry out appropriate pre-contractual measures.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-lasting storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
