I. General Information

(1) Below, we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website.

(2) The term ‘personal data’ refers to the definition in Article 4 No. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which includes any information that can be linked to you personally, such as name, address, email address, and user behavior. For other terms, particularly ‘processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, and ‘consent’, we refer to the legal definitions in Article 4 of the GDPR.

(3) For matters affecting Switzerland, even if they are initiated outside of Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (DSG) also applies. However, we will use the terms from the GDPR throughout. The terms from the GDPR such as ‘personal data’, ‘processing’, ‘processor’, ‘special categories of data’, and data portability mean, where the DSG applies, the corresponding terms in the DSG like ‘person data’, ‘processing’, ‘processor’, ‘data transfer’, and ‘particularly protected person data’. The legal meaning of these terms is determined by the DSG in such cases.

(4) We generally only process personal data to the extent necessary for providing a functional website and the offered content and services. The processing of personal data usually only occurs if you have given us consent under Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or if the processing is permitted by legal regulations, particularly those listed in Article 6(1)(b) to (f) of the GDPR.

(5) Your personal data will be deleted or blocked once the purpose for storing it no longer applies. Storage can continue beyond that if required by national or European regulations we are subject to. Deletion or blocking of the data will occur when the specified retention period in those regulations has expired, unless further storage is necessary for contract conclusion or fulfillment.

(6) If we use contracted service providers for certain functions of our website or if we want to use your data for advertising purposes, we will provide you with detailed information about the specific procedures below.

LXVI. WhatsApp Business

We use “WhatsApp Business,” an instant messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “WhatsApp”), to offer you a convenient way to contact us. To use this service, you must have WhatsApp installed on your device. When you click on the WhatsApp icon on our website, WhatsApp opens a conversation (“Chat”) using your mobile phone number, allowing you to contact us. During the conversation, we may receive additional data you provide, such as your name, address, email address, and details of your request, to process your inquiries. The data provided is treated confidentially by us. By using the service, the contact data in your device’s address book and the aforementioned data are transmitted to a WhatsApp server in Ireland and stored there. However, it cannot be ruled out that WhatsApp may also transmit data to servers in the USA and process them there. The service is provided by WhatsApp as a responsible entity. For information on data processing, particularly regarding data sharing, ensuring compliance with applicable data protection regulations, and exercising your rights, please refer to WhatsApp’s privacy policy: [WhatsApp Privacy Policy](https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?l=en&lang=de). We only store personal data in this context if it is necessary to process your request, particularly for follow-up questions and later contacts. Data processing by WhatsApp does not occur if you only use our website for informational purposes and do not contact us via WhatsApp. The use of WhatsApp is therefore optional. For your own interest, please ensure that you only allow WhatsApp access to contact data in your address book from individuals who have consented to the transmission of their contact data to WhatsApp. The processing of the aforementioned data serves the purpose of responding to your inquiries quickly and efficiently. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in processing the aforementioned data. If you have given consent, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. If the use of WhatsApp content or function serves to initiate or perform a contract with us, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR provides an additional legal basis. Otherwise, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you wish to prevent data transmission, you cannot use WhatsApp functions. If we store data, it will be deleted once it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to statutory retention obligations. This is the case when we have fully processed your inquiry. Provider: WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, [WhatsApp Legal Information](https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?l=en&lang=de).

LXX. YouTube

We use the service on our website. When accessing a web page that contains embedded media content from the provider, data is transmitted to a server of the provider and stored there. If you have a user account with the provider and are registered, the provider can link the visit to your user account. The provider stores this data as usage profiles and uses it for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its websites. Such an evaluation is carried out particularly (even for non-logged-in users) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. Please contact the provider directly to exercise this right. We embed content from the provider on the pages of our online presence to make this content immediately available to you without you having to retrieve it separately on the provider’s pages. This allows us to improve our offer and the user experience for you and make it more interesting. The service transmits personal data to the USA. The EU Commission has determined that this country provides an adequate level of data protection (TADPF). The service has committed to the TADPF. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).
