Within the scope of our business activities and the purposes mentioned in section D, we also disclose personal data to third parties, insofar as this is permissible and appears to us to be appropriate, either because they process data for us or because they use the data for their own purposes. This concerns in particular the following entities:
In this context, your personal data may be stored in Switzerland as well as in other countries in Europe and the United States where the service providers we use are located (such as Micro-soft). If personal Data is processed outside of Switzerland or the European Economic Area, we will take the steps required by applicable data protection law to ensure that your personal Data is treated as securely and safely as it is in Switzerland or within the European Economic Area, unless we can rely on an exception clause. An exception may apply in the case of legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of prevailing public interests, if the per-formance of a contract requires such disclosure or if you have consented.

We use this data for marketing and administrative purposes as well as to ensure the functionali-ty of the website. This data is also necessary to correctly operate and optimize the content of the website, to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the website, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information they need to prosecute in the event of a cyber-attack.

With the help of non-essential cookies, we collect information about visits to the website. In addition, we use non-essential cookies to improve the user-friendliness of the website, for example, to ensure shopping cart functionality, to adapt our offer to customer preferences and to make your browsing experience on the website as comfortable as possible.

When you visit our website again, it will then au-tomatically recognize which inputs and settings you prefer. Depending on the type of cook-ie, these cookies remain stored on your terminal device for a limited period of time (e.g., two years) and are automatically deactivated after the programmed time has expired. They serve to make our website more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Thanks to these cookies, you will, for example, be shown information on the page that is specifically tailored to your interests.

4. Pixel
We also include visible and invisible image elements in our newsletters and other marketing emails, in part and to the extent permitted, by retrieving them from our servers we can de-termine if and when you have opened the email so that we can measure and better under-stand how you use our offers and tailor them to you. You can block this in your email pro-gram.
5. Web Analytics Services
We use analytics services from Hotjar on our websites. These services are provided by third parties who may be located in Switzerland or in another country. The present service provider is Hotjar Ltd, which is based in Malta. If you have registered with the service provider yourself, the service provider may also know you.

6. Integration of Google services
On our website we use the following services from Google: Google Analytics, Google Firebase. The Google company in question is based in Ireland. Google Ireland relies on Google LLC (based in the USA) as a subprocessor (both "Google"). Although we can assume that the data Google retrieves and stores when our website is used is not personal data, it is possible that Google may draw conclusions about the identity of visitors from this data in conjunction with data collected by Google itself for its own purposes and link this data to the Google accounts of these persons. If you have registered with Google yourself, Google may also be able to recognize you. The processing of your personal data by Google then takes place under its responsibility in accordance with its data protection provisions. For further information on data protection (in particular the scope, nature and purpose of data processing), please refer to the relevant Google data protection statement.
When using Google Analytics, we can measure and evaluate the use of the website (not person related). For this purpose, permanent cookies are used, which Google itself sets. For Google Analytics, we have configured the service in a way that the IP addresses of visitors are shortened by Google in Europe before any forwarding to the USA and thus cannot be traced. We have switched off the "Data forwarding" and "Signals" settings. Google only tells us how our respective website is used (no information about you personally).
7. App Analytics Services
We use analytics services from UX Cam and Appsflyer in our apps. These services are provided by third parties who may be located in Switzerland or in another country. The present service providers are UXCam Inc., which is based in Germany and Appsflyer, Inc., which is based in the USA. If you have registered with the service provider yourself, the service provider may also know you.

9.1 Plugins
Our website contains social media plugins from social networks such as Face-book, “X” (for-merly known as Twitter), YouTube, Pinterest, or Instagram. These are usually embedded on the website as graphic files. We have configured these elements to be disabled by default. If you activate them (by clicking on them), the operators of the respective social networks are able to register that you are on our website and where and may use this information for their own purposes. Such processing of your personal data is then the responsibility of the respective operators in accordance with their data protection provisions. We do not receive any information about you from them.
For further information on data protection (in particular on the scope, type and purpose of data processing), please refer to the data protection statements of the individual social me-dia providers. In there you will also find further information on your rights and settings op-tions for protecting your privacy.

We may operate online presences on social networks and other platforms operated by third parties. We receive data from you and the platforms when you get in contact with us via our online presence on the respective platforms (e.g., when you communicate with us, comment on our content or visit our presence). At the same time, the platforms evaluate your use of our online presences and link this data with other data about you known to the platforms (e.g., about your behavior and preferences). They also process this data for their own pur-poses under their own responsibility, in particular for branding purposes and to control their platforms (e.g., which content they provide to you).
Content published by you (e.g., comments) may be redistributed by us (e.g., in our advertis-ing on the platform or elsewhere). We or the operators of the platforms may also delete or restrict content from or to you in accordance with the usage guidelines (e.g., inappropriate comments).
For further information on the processing of the platform operators, please refer to the data protection notices of the respective platforms.
