We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP) and the Ordinance to the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA).

We process personal data in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases, if and to the extent that the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable:

  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO for the necessary processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail.
