We are dedicated to handling your personal data responsibly.

For the purpose of clarity, any gender-specific language shall refer to all genders.
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time and without notice. The current version published on our website shall always prevail.

For the purpose of better understanding, we would first like to clarify the most important terms used in this privacy policy. We follow the definitions used in the Swiss Data Protection Act.
This privacy policy complies with the requirements set out in the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“DSG”) and the associated Regulation (“DSV”) as well as the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). The nature and scope of the applicable legislation depends on each individual case. Foreign data protection law only applies insofar as it is mandatory under applicable law and only to the data processing itself and persons affected by it.
We comply with the applicable data protection regulations when processing personal data.
The processing of personal data must not unlawfully infringe upon the privacy of the data subjects. Therefore, such data processing must comply with the processing principles set out in data protection law and/or must be legitimised by means of a justification. We are particularly authorised to process personal data if such processing:
Depending on the products and services you use and the respective relationship between you and us, we process the following categories of personal data, in particular:
We mainly collect personal data directly from you as the data subject. This includes, in particular, master, pet, contract, communication and marketing data. Such personal data is collected as part of the initiation and processing of business relationships and the use of our products and services. If you share data with us about other people (e.g. family members, acquaintances), you must ensure that you are authorised to do so and that the data is correct. In addition, the data subjects concerned must be made aware of this privacy policy in advance.
Furthermore, we may also collect personal data about you ourselves or automatically, or derive it from existing data. This includes, in particular, behaviour and transaction data as well as technical data.
Finally, we also collect personal data from third parties where permitted by law. Such third parties include, in particular, persons you are connected with, insurance companies, banks, authorities, council offices, courts, parties and their legal representation in the context of legal disputes, etc.) In addition, we may collect personal data from public sources (e.g. credit agencies, media, Internet, social media).
We process the data we collect as a means of complying with our legal and contractual obligations to you and third parties. This includes, in particular, the recording (incl. contact requests), administration and handling of contractual relationships.
We also process the data we collect in order to ensure communication with you, to be able to provide and improve the products and services you request, to manage your use and your desired access to our products and services, to maintain our business relationship with you, to carry out advertising and marketing measures (insofar as we are authorised to do so, for example by having received your consent), to monitor and improve the performance of our offer, to enforce legal claims or to defend ourselves against them, to detect, prevent or clarify illegal activities, to ensure compliance with laws and recommendations of domestic and foreign authorities and internal regulations (“compliance”), as well as risk management, for the general safeguarding of our operations (in particular IT, website, etc.) and securing administrative processes (e.g. data archiving, accounting, master data maintenance, quality assurance).
We process your personal data as long as we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. retention and archiving obligations) or our legitimate business interests so require (e.g. enforcement or defence of claims, ensuring IT security) or as long as the purpose of the collection of your data makes it necessary or its retention is technically necessary. In the case of contracts, storage is usually for the duration of the contractual relationship as well as the additional statutory retention periods (usually 10 years).
This may result in your personal data, or extracts thereof, having to be stored for several years after the end of the contractual relationship between you and us. If your personal data is no longer required for the above purposes, it will be deleted or anonymised as far as possible.
In certain situations, we retain your personal data for a longer period of time – where you give consent (e.g. job applications that we keep pending).
As far as legally permissible and necessary, we may also pass on certain personal data to third parties as part of our business activities. These third parties process your personal data either on our behalf (order processor), jointly with us or themselves. This includes, but is not limited to:
Where necessary, we have concluded corresponding order-processing contracts with our service providers. In these, they undertake to comply with data protection and data security regulations. Furthermore, they are only allowed to process personal data in line with our instructions. They also grant us comprehensive audit and control rights, as well as information, correction and deletion rights.
As a rule, we process and store personal data in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). In certain cases, however, we may also disclose personal data to service providers and recipients who are located outside this area or process personal data outside this area, potentially in any country in the world. In particular, you must expect the disclosure of personal data in any country where the service providers we use and their subcontractors are located (in particular the USA).
By taking appropriate measures, we ensure compliance with the legal requirements. Specifically, the competent authority has issued an adequacy decision. If this is not the case, the personal data will be transferred on the basis of suitable guarantees (in particular standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner [FDPIC]) or there are exceptions for certain situations (contract processing, law enforcement abroad, etc.) or we will obtain your express consent.
It is possible for us to automatically evaluate some of your personal characteristics on the basis of your personal data (Section 6) for the purposes detailed in Section 8 (“profiling”) – for example, if we want to determine preference data in order to identify abuse and security risks, but also to carry out internal statistical evaluations (e.g. analyse the click and open rate). For the same purposes, we can also create profiles, i.e. we can compile behaviour and preference data, but also master and contract data and technical data assigned to you to better understand you as a person along with your interests and characteristics. We can also create anonymous and – with your consent – personalised movement profiles for you. These profiles can be used, e.g., for marketing or security purposes.
In both instances, we ensure that the results are proportionate and reliable and take measures to prevent the misuse of these profiles or profiling.
Within the scope of the GDPR, this data is processed on the basis of the fulfilment of a contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) or our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) as well as your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
We use state-of-the-art technical and organisational security measures to protect your data.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection by the fact that the URL in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your search bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, third parties cannot read the data you send us. However, we must point out that even encrypted data transmission over the Internet is always subject to security risks. It is not possible to guarantee total protection of data against access by third parties.
To the extent that the requirements of the applicable data protection legislation are met and no legal exceptions apply, you fundamentally have the following rights in connection with the processing of your personal data:
Please note that these rights may be restricted or denied under certain circumstances (e.g. to protect third parties or trade secrets).
To exercise your rights as a data subject or if you have any questions about this privacy policy and the data-processing procedures described herein, please contact either of the 2 offices listed in the section above.
If you believe that your data has been processed unlawfully, we would appreciate you contacting us directly. Alternatively, you can lodge a complaint with your competent supervisory authority. The Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) is the supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland. In the EU, complaints must be lodged with the respective national data protection authority.
