IV. Purposes for data processing

If you visit the website as a user, we process some data for the purpose of providing our website to the general public.

This processing is carried out in good faith and proportionately (Article 6(2) DP Act), because the processing is technically necessary to be able to operate a website at all.

V. Categories of Personal Data we process

We only process so-calles usage date when operating the website. The usage data includes in particular the IP address as well as data on your browser, your operating system, your language set in the end device, the time of the website call, insofar as this data is transmitted by your browser to our web servers. This data is stored for a limited time in so-called log files.

VI. Recipients of Personal Data

As a matter of principle, we attach importance to performing as many processing activities as possible ourselves. In the remaining cases, we may also transfer the Personal Data we process to various recipients, depending on the processing purpose and processing activity. A transfer comes into consideration in the case scenarios that we present below. Since the recipients of Personal Data differ depending on the user and the processing situation, we only present the categories of recipients below.

1. Processing by affiliated companies

We are affiliated under corporate law with other companies in Germany and other European countries ("Affiliated Companies") that assist us with some processing activities. The website hosting is carried out by the following Affiliated Company: 

 insparx GmbH, Erika-Mann-Str. 63, 80636 Munich, Germany.

2. Operations by other recipients data processing relationships

The DP Act privileges so-called data processing relationships, i.e. processing of Personal Data by such (natural or legal) persons who act exclusively on our behalf and according to our instructions (Art. 9 DP Act). We also use data processors that we have carefully selected and satisfied ourselves that they protect Personal Data that we entrust to them to a risk-adequate extent by means of appropriate technical and organizational measures. In the context of data processing, we work in particular with cloud storage service providers, e-mail dispatch service providers and payment service providers. In addition, we use a data processor for the video chat tool implemented by us, through which the video chats are technically realized.

VII. Data transfer to recipients outside Switzerland

Insofar as we pass on data to third parties - for example within the scope of contractual relationships, we regularly ensure that we work with contractual partners within Switzerland or the EU/EEA, as Countries within the EU/EEA are deemed adequate regarding the data protection standards.

If we transfer Personal Data to countries outside Switzerland or the EU/EEA (so-called "third countries"), we will ensure that these are either third countries for which an adequate level of data protection is available (similar to EU/EEA).

In all other cases, it must generally be assumed that the level of data protection in the third country falls short of that in Switzerland. If we transfer data to recipients in such states, we will pay attention to the existence of appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Art. 16 DP Act. In the first instance, we will conclude the standard contractual clauses within the meaning of Art. 16(2) DP Act.

VIII. Data security

We take the adequate technical and organizational measures according to the processing risk to ensure an appropriate level of data protection (see Art. 8 DP Act).

IX. Data retention

We only retain Personal Data for as long as is necessary for the processing purposes:

If we process data on the basis of consent, we may retain the data for as long as the consent exists. Even after withdrawing consent, we may still store the Personal Data for a certain period of time in order to be able to defend ourselves against any accusations in the event of legal disputes. In any case, we may store the basis of the consent, i.e., the documentation of the declarations of consent, for the duration of statutory limitation periods of the underlying fine regulations, plus a suitable expiration period (e.g., to account for any suspension of the limitation period).

If we process data on a contractual basis, we may also process the data regularly after the conclusion of the contract for the duration of the statutory limitation periods in order to defend ourselves against any legal claims or to be able to assert them ourselves.

Insofar as data is relevant under commercial or tax law and is subject to the retention periods there, we may store the relevant Personal Data (in particular accounting records) for this period.

In addition, we check at regular intervals whether Personal Data held by us still need to be stored. If this is not the case, we will anonymize or delete it. We also delete Personal Data in respect of which we receive deletion requests from data subjects and, after examining the conditions, come to the conclusion that there is no legal basis for further processing. This applies in particular to profile data of our users who no longer wish to use our services.

X. Automated decision making

We do not use any kinds of automated decision making technologies when providing our website.
