3. Personal Data

Personal data (hereinafter referred to as "personal data") is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes all information about your identity, such as your name, your e-mail address or your postal address. However, information that cannot be linked to your identity (such as statistical data, e.g. the number of users of our online offering) is not considered personal data.

Automated individual decision-making or automated decision-making based on your personal data does not take place.

4. Processing of Personal Data

Your data is stored by us on specially protected servers within Switzerland or the European Union. These are protected by technical and organisational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorised persons. Access to your data is only possible for a few authorised persons. These persons are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial management of the servers. Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all risks is not possible.

Your personal data is transmitted over the Internet in encrypted form. We use TLS encryption (Transport Layer Security) for data transmission.

5. Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

As part of our business activities and for the purposes stated in this data protection declaration, we also disclose personal data to third parties where permitted and where we deem it appropriate, either because they process it for us or because they wish to use it for their own purposes. In addition to the parties already mentioned elsewhere in this privacy policy, this includes the following third parties in particular

• Service providers (e.g. banks, insurance companies, travel service providers, credit rating agencies), including order processors (e.g. IT providers)

• Customers, dealers, suppliers, subcontractors, debt collection companies, manufacturers, freight forwarders and other business partners,

• certain data is also published (e.g. on our website, on our social media pages, in newspapers or sometimes in offers) and is therefore accessible to everyone,

• We also provide reference information if the employee concerned has authorised this in writing,

• authorities or other third parties if we are legally obliged to do so or if it is necessary to protect our interests, e.g. to combat abuse or safeguard rights, as well as other parties in potential or actual legal proceedings.

• We may also share personal data with other companies belonging to our group of companies where this is necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes described here.

Your personal data will only be passed on if you yourself have consented to the data being passed on or if we are authorised or obliged to do so on the basis of statutory provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve the provision of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.

If we transfer your personal data ourselves or through service providers to countries outside Switzerland or the European Union, we comply with the legal requirements for this and also oblige our service providers to comply with these regulations. We will therefore only transfer your data to countries outside Switzerland or the European Union subject to the level of protection guaranteed by the applicable data protection laws. This level of protection is ensured in particular by suitable guarantees in accordance with applicable data protection laws, where it has not already been established by a corresponding decision of the Swiss Federal Council or - where the GDPR is applicable - an adequacy decision of the EU Commission.

6. Legal Basis for Data Processing

In principle, we do not require a legal basis for most of our processing due to the statutory provisions. However, if we nevertheless require a legal basis for our data processing due to the applicable data protection laws, we rely on one of the following bases:

• Consent
• Fulfilment of a contract with you or implementation of pre-contractual measures
• Fulfilment of a legal obligation on our part
• Vital interests of the data subject or third parties
• Performance of a task carried out in the public interest
• our legitimate interests or those of third parties, insofar as this is necessary and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not require the protection of personal data

As part of this privacy policy, we indicate the legal basis on which we base the processing of your personal data where this is required by law.

7. Data Erasure and Storage Duration

We always delete or block your personal data when the purpose of storage no longer applies. However, data may be stored beyond this point if this is provided for by legal requirements to which we are subject, for example with regard to statutory retention and documentation obligations. In such a case, we will delete or block your personal data after the end of the corresponding requirements.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time with effect for the future. Changes will be made in particular in the event of adjustments to our processing procedures, technical adjustments to the online offering or changes to data protection regulations. The current version of the privacy policy can always be accessed directly via the online offering and becomes effective upon publication there. We recommend that you regularly inform yourself about changes to this privacy policy.

A. Your Rights

We attach great importance to explaining the processing of your personal data as transparently as possible and to informing you of the rights to which you are entitled. If you would like more information or wish to exercise your rights, you can contact us at any time so that we can take care of your request.

1. Rights of Data Subjects

Depending on the applicable data protection laws, you have extensive rights with regard to the processing of your personal data. Firstly, you have a comprehensive right to information and may request the correction and/or deletion or, if necessary, blocking of your personal data. Under certain circumstances, you can also request a restriction of processing or object to our processing. You also have the right to data portability with regard to the personal data you have provided to us.

If you wish to assert one of your rights and/or receive further information about this, please contact us at the address given at the beginning of this privacy policy.

2. Revocation of Consent and Objection

Once you have given your consent, it can be freely revoked at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To withdraw your consent, please contact the contact address stated at the beginning of this privacy policy.

If the processing of your personal data is not based on consent, but on another legal basis, you can object to this data processing under certain circumstances. Your objection will lead to a review and, if necessary, termination of the data processing. You will be informed of the result of the review and - if the data processing is nevertheless to be continued - you will receive more detailed information from us as to why the data processing is permissible.

3. Complaint

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us does not comply with this privacy policy or the applicable data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. You can also lodge a complaint directly with us. We will then investigate the matter and inform you of the outcome of the investigation.

The relevant supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb).

C. Data Processing in Detail

1. Customers and Suppliers

If you or your employer are a customer or supplier of ours, we process the data received from you or your employer (name, contact details, contact person, function, all data according to the customer base in the ERP (in particular bank details or billing addresses)) as well as data arising in connection with the customer relationship (offers, enquiries, contracts, correspondence, orders, reminders, other contractual correspondence, etc.) in order to process your enquiry or offer, process your order or our order, provide or receive support services, etc.

The legal basis for data processing is the initiation or fulfilment of a contract with you. In addition, data processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in smooth and proper cooperation with our customers and suppliers.

2. Applicant Data

You can apply for a job with us and submit all the necessary information and documents.

Upon receipt of an application, your documents will be forwarded to the responsible employees at our company. If you have applied for an advertised position, the documents will be automatically deleted four months after completion of the recruitment process, provided that no other legitimate interests prevent deletion. Such legitimate interests in this sense are, for example, obligations to provide evidence in legal proceedings. In the case of an application without reference to an advertised position (unsolicited application), the application will be kept for as long as there is a possibility that the application may be of interest. You have the option of requesting the deletion of your application at any time, even before the expiry of the specified retention periods. In the event of a successful application, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the legal requirements. In all other cases, the legal basis for the storage of your applicant data is your consent.

3. Employee Data

At the start of employment, we request master data (name, address, contact details) and job-related data (school and professional qualifications, further training, driving licence, etc.); we must also request data relevant to accounting (such as tax data). If you provide further personal data on a voluntary basis as part of the upstream application process, during the recruitment process or during the employment relationship, this data will also be stored in the personnel file.

If not all information is mandatory when collecting personal data, we will point out which information is voluntary. You are free to complete the voluntary information. Failure to provide this information will at most mean that certain aspects cannot be taken into account in your favour. Failure to provide voluntary information will not have a negative impact on the employment relationship or its existence.

The information you provide will be processed to fulfil the employment relationship. The legal basis for the processing is the fulfilment of the contract or the processing for the performance of an employment relationship in accordance with national data protection regulations. If you voluntarily provide additional personal data over and above the information required to fulfil the employment relationship, the legal basis for this is your consent.

Data arising in the course of the employment relationship, such as communication data, business expense or travel data, health data (e.g. in the context of sick notes) or other data arising are processed for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship. For the purpose of internal accessibility and communication, the business contact details of employees may be published internally within the Group, for example in the form of telephone lists or on the intranet. Disclosure within the company is in our legitimate interest, which lies primarily in the effective organisation of professional processes. Further information may be added or collected on a voluntary basis, for example the date of birth for birthday lists. It is also possible that business contact details may also be provided to our business partners. Publication of business contact details to the general public, for example by publication on the homepage, only takes place with regard to employees whose intended task is to support business partners or if the respective employee has given their voluntary consent.

The data will be stored by us for the duration of the employment relationship and beyond within the scope of the statutory retention obligations. Longer storage is possible if this is required or permitted by law, for example to prove fulfilment of all social security requirements.

Recipients of your personal data are our contract processors, insofar as we have outsourced corresponding activities - such as payroll accounting - to fulfil the employment relationship. We also pass on personal data to public authorities in order to fulfil their tasks, insofar as we are legally obliged or authorised to do so, for example to tax authorities or social insurance companies. The legal basis for this disclosure is the fulfilment of legal obligations. We also provide reference information upon prior written authorisation by e-mail.

4. Contact Form

If you wish to use the contact form on our website, we collect the personal data you enter in the contact form, in particular your name and email address. We also store the IP address and the date and time of the enquiry. We process the data transmitted via the contact form in order to be able to respond to your enquiry or request.

You can decide for yourself what information you send us via the contact form. The legal basis for processing your data is your consent.

After the matter has been processed by us, the data will initially be stored in case of any queries. Deletion of the data can be requested at any time, otherwise we will delete the data once the matter has been fully dealt with; statutory retention obligations remain unaffected in each case.

5. Newsletter

When you register for our newsletter, your e-mail address will be used by us or our group companies for their own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe. You will receive regular information by e-mail on current topics as well as e-mails on special occasions, such as special promotions. The emails may be personalised and individualised based on our information about you.

Unless you have given us your consent in writing, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have expressly confirmed to us beforehand that we should activate the newsletter dispatch. We will then send you a notification e-mail and ask you to confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link contained in this e-mail.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent if you have registered for the newsletter. Within the framework of the legal requirements, it is also possible that you may receive our newsletter from us without express consent because you have ordered goods or services from us, we have received your e-mail address in this context and you have not objected to receiving information by e-mail. In this case, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in sending direct advertising.

If you no longer wish to receive newsletters from us, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future or object to further receipt of the newsletter. Simply use the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter.

We use MailChimp to send our newsletter. MailChimp is a service provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318 (hereinafter: "Mailchimp"). The email addresses of our newsletter recipients as well as the other data processed in the context of sending the newsletter are stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA, so that it cannot be ruled out that US authorities may also have access to them. MailChimp also offers various options for analysing the extent to which the newsletters sent are opened and used, e.g. to how many users an email was sent, whether emails were rejected and whether users unsubscribed from the list after receiving an email. The analyses are carried out on a group basis and are not used by us for individual evaluation. Further information on data protection in connection with MailChimp can be found at: https://www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/.

MailChimp uses the information provided and collected to send and analyse the newsletter on our behalf. We have concluded a "Data Processing Agreement" with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties.

The legal basis for the cooperation with MailChimp is your express consent.
