In this context, it may happen that we commission third parties to process your personal data. Under certain circumstances we are also obliged to disclose your data to authorities or other third parties.

Your data will only be passed on to third parties with your express consent if there is a legal obligation to do so, if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship, if this is necessary to fulfill the contract or carry out pre-contractual measures ( e.g. the Swiss Post or other courier services, telecommunications service providers, authorities in the context of debt collection measures, etc.) if we have a legitimate interest in this and your contrary interests do not outweigh it and if there is another legal permission, but only to the extent and for as long as

a) the third parties themselves are subject to legal secrecy (e.g. postal and telecommunications secrecy; official secrecy), or

b) the third parties have been contractually obliged by us to maintain secrecy, or

c) we have been released from professional secrecy for a specific matter that is subject to professional secrecy.

Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are committed to data protection to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in the country in which data is transferred does not correspond to that of Switzerland or the European Union, we contractually ensure that the same protection as in Switzerland or the European Union is guaranteed. This can be done through standard data protection clauses of the European Commission or a supervisory authority, or approved and approved codes of conduct together with binding and enforceable obligations of the recipient, or approved certification mechanisms together with binding and enforceable obligations of the recipient.

The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the respective provider and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugins, certain information is transmitted to the third-party provider and stored by them. If you are not a member of the relevant social network, it is still possible that they will receive and store your IP address via the social media plugin.

If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like”, “+1”, “Tweet” or “Instagram” button, the corresponding information is also sent directly to a third-party server transmitted and stored there. The information will also be published on your social media profile and shown to your contacts there. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the third-party providers as well as your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the third-party data protection information. If you would like to prevent Google, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram from assigning the data collected via our website to your personal profile in the respective social network, you must log out of the relevant social network before visiting our website.
