Purpose of data processing and its legal bases In principle, we only process personal data insofar as we require the data for the purposes of our business relationships, in particular for entering into and performing contracts with customers, suppliers, etc. In addition, we process data in order to make our website available. We also process your personal data when you contact us directly so that we can process your enquiry and, if appropriate, to carry out pre-contractual measures. Moreover, we process personal data in order to comply with our statutory obligations at home and abroad. In certain cases, we also process personal data if we can demonstrate that we have a legitimate interest in doing so. This is the case, in particular, where processing is carried out to: improve our online offerings; analyze and evaluate website activities; prevent and investigate possible criminal offenses; establish legal claims and as defense in legal or administrative proceedings; comply with compliance and other internal guidelines; conduct internal investigations; carry out internal administrative tasks; monitor and improve system security. If you have consented to our use of your data, we will only use your data for the purposes stated when obtaining them and within the scope of your consent. In this case, you may, at any time, withdraw your consent to the data processing. Your withdrawal of consent will not, however, affect data processing that has already occurred. 4. Cookies and analysis services We use cookies and similar technologies on our website. Cookies are small text files, which are sent to your computer and then saved by your browser. They are designed to make our offerings more user-friendly, effective and secure. Most of the cookies used are only used for the respective session and are then automatically deleted when you leave our website (session cookies). Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser when you revisit our website (permanent cookies). You can configure your browser so that you are notified when a cookie is received and so that it accepts cookies only in selected cases, or so that it blocks cookies in certain or in all cases, or so that it automatically deletes cookies when it is closed. If you deactivate cookies, some of the functions of our website may not be available. We use permanent cookies to make our website more user-friendly. This results, in particular, in the storage and transfer of language settings and login information. In addition, we use cookies to analyze your behaviour on our website. In this process, we use information such as which search terms you enter, how often you access the website and which functions you use. Certain cookies are placed by us, while others are placed by the contractual partners with whom we work.

Google Analytics Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google uses permanent cookies. The information collected by it (including your IP address) is sent to and stored on a Google server in the United States. We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that Google will shorten your IP address in the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) before transmitting it to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will your full IP address be transmitted to a server belonging to Google in the United States and then shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports for us on website activity and providing other services relating to website and Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not, under any circumstances, associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can prevent information generated by cookies about your use of our website (including your IP address) being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the following browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. 6. Use of YouTube Our website supports the embedding of YouTube videos from YouTube LLC. (901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”). YouTube is an affiliate of Google. The function allows videos placed on YouTube to be displayed in an iFrame on the website. The option “Enable privacy-enhanced mode” is activated. Consequently, YouTube will not store any information about visitors to the website. Only when you play a video is information about you sent to YouTube and stored there.

If and insofar as we use a third party for the performance of a contract with you, your personal data will only be disclosed to the third party to the extent that this is necessary for the corresponding performance. If data are transferred to a country without an appropriate level of data protection, data security measures will be taken, for example, through the use of standard contractual clauses approved by the EU, binding corporate rules or other appropriate measures to safeguard your data. 9. Retention period We retain your data only for as long as this is necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were obtained. Data which were collected for the purposes of the performance of a contract or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract will be erased or anonymized when they are no longer required for the performance of the contract. After entering into a contract, we may retain data in order to fulfil contractual or legal obligations or to safeguard our legitimate interests, in particular in exercise or defense of legal claims. Session cookies are always deleted as soon as your session ends. Permanent cookies are stored, at most, for a period of 12 months. However, you may, at any time, delete cookies that have been stored in your browser. 10. Your rights Where we process your personal data, you have the right – insofar as applicable data protection law provides for this – to request access to your personal data, to require that your data be rectified or completed, to have processing restricted or data erased, and to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format in order to transmit those data to another body (data portability). Furthermore, you may object to the processing of your personal data if we are not obliged to process them for the performance of a contractual or legal obligation. If processing of your data is based on your consent, you may, at any time, withdraw it. Please note that the withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of previous processing. Your rights may be restricted, in particular if the exercise of your rights conflicts with the performance of our legal or contractual obligations, or where we can demonstrate an overriding interest in processing, or the rights of third parties would be infringed. If you would like to exercise your rights, please use the address in clause 1 to contact us. If you believe your rights have been infringed, you may, at any time, lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/en/home.html). 11. Online Dispute Resolution (ODR platform) The European Commission provides an out-of-court Online Dispute Resolution platform (ODR platform) for certain forms of data processing. The platform can be accessed at: http://ec.europa.eu/odr. 12. Data security We would like to point out that, in spite of our use of licensed SSL encryption on our website (see the SSL certificate in the top left-hand corner of your browser), where data are transferred via the Internet security gaps may exist outside our web server, for example, at nodes in international networks. 13. Data belonging to third parties If you transfer personal data belonging to a third party to us, please ensure that you are authorized to do so, that the data subject knows about the transfer and is familiar with this Privacy Policy, and that the data transferred are correct. 14.
