We may disclose personal data to agencies,courts and other authorities in Switzerland and abroad if we are legally obliged or entitled to make such disclosures or if it appears necessary to protect our interests. This may include health data. These authorities act as separate controllers.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Where we ask for your consent for certain processing activities, we will inform you separately about the relevant processing purposes. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Where you have a user account, you may also withdraw consent or contact us also through the relevant website or other service, as applicable.
Where we do not ask for consent for processing, the processing of your personal data relies on the requirement of the processing for initiating or performing a contract with you (or the entity you represent) or on our or a third-party legitimate interest in the particular processing. Our legitimate interests also include compliance with legal regulations, insofar as this is not already recognized as a legal basis by applicable data protection law (for example in the case of the GDPR, the laws in the EEA and in the case of the DPA, Swiss law).
Where we receive sensitive personal data(for example health data, data about political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, and biometric data for identification purposes), we may process your data on other legal basis, for example, in the event of a dispute,as required in relation to a potential litigation or for the enforcement or defence of legal claims. In some cases, other legal basis may apply, which we will communicate to you separately as necessary.
We may automatically evaluate personal aspects relating to you («profiling»), where we wish to determine preference data, but also in order to detect misuse and security risks, to perform statistical analysis or for operational planning. We may also create profiles for these purposes, i.e. we may combine different categories of data relating to you in order to better understand you as a person with your various interests and other characteristics. We may also create anonymous and – with your consent – personalised motion profiles of you.
If you are our customer, we may, for example, use «profiling» to determine which other products are likely to be of interest to you based on your purchases. Profiles may also be used for marketing, for example, or for security purposes.
In both cases, we pay attention to the proportionality and reliability of the results and take measures against misuse of these profiles or profiling. Where these can produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you, we generally ensure human review.
We consider your personal data as confidential information. We deploy technical and organisational measures to secure your personal data and ensure that it is protected from unlawful access,alteration and loss. Organisational measures mean for example that we ensure that only the persons who need to do so for business purposes, have access to your personal data.
