4. Cookies/Tracking and Other Technologies Related to the Use of Our Website
We use cookies and similar technologies on our website to recognize your browser or device. Cookies are small files sent via your web browser and automatically stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. This allows us to recognize your device upon subsequent visits, even if we do not know your identity.
In addition to "session cookies" (which are deleted immediately after your visit ends), we use "persistent cookies" to store information—such as user preferences—for a specific period (e.g., two years). You can configure your browser to reject cookies, store only session cookies, or delete them early. Most browsers accept cookies by default. We use persistent cookies to save settings like your language preference and auto-login status, and to better understand how you use our services and content.
Some cookies are set by us, while others are set by our partner contractors. If you block cookies, certain features may not function correctly.
We also use plugins from social networks (such as Instagram) and other networks on our website; you can identify them by their respective icons. We have configured these elements to be disabled by default. If you activate them by clicking on them, the operator of the respective social network can record your visit to our website and use this information for their own purposes. The operator is responsible for processing your personal data in accordance with their own data protection regulations. We do not receive any information about you from them.
5. Data Transfer and Cross-border Data Transfer
As part of our business activities and for the purposes set out in Section 1, we also disclose such information to third parties—to the extent permitted and deemed appropriate—where they intend to use it for their own purposes. Specifically, this involves the following roles:
- Our service providers (such as banks and insurance companies), including processors (such as IT providers);
- Distributors, suppliers, subcontractors, and other business partners;
- Customers;
- Domestic and foreign authorities, official bodies, or courts;
- The general public, including visitors to websites and social media;
- Competitors, industry bodies, associations, organizations, and other entities;
- Other parties involved in potential or actual legal proceedings;
All collective "recipients."
Recipients of your data may be located worldwide, particularly in countries where our service providers operate, in other European countries, and in the United States. If data is transferred to countries or regions that do not offer an adequate level of legal protection, we ensure such protection through contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, or by relying on statutory exceptions—such as consent, performance of a contract, legal claims, public interest, publicly available data, or the protection of the data subject's interests.
You may contact us at any time to obtain a copy of the aforementioned contractual safeguards (unless they are directly accessible via a link). For reasons of data protection or confidentiality, we reserve the right to redact copies or provide only excerpts.
6. Storage Period of Personal Data
We process and store your personal data for the duration necessary to fulfill contractual and legal obligations—covering the entire business relationship from initiation to termination—and to comply with statutory retention and record-keeping requirements. Data may continue to be stored within the applicable statute of limitations periods where there is a legal obligation or a legitimate business interest (such as the preservation of evidence). Once the aforementioned purposes no longer apply, the data will, in principle, be deleted or anonymized. The retention period for operational data (such as system protocols and logs) generally does not exceed twelve months.
7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access and misuse—such as issuing directives, conducting training sessions, employing IT and network security solutions, implementing access controls and restrictions, using encryption for data storage and transmission, applying pseudonymization, and maintaining oversight mechanisms.
8. Obligation to Provide Personal Data
As part of our business relationship, you are required to provide the personal data necessary to establish and conduct the business relationship and to fulfill the associated contractual obligations (generally, you are under no legal obligation to provide such data to us). Without this data, we are typically unable to enter into or execute a contract with you (or the entity or individual you represent). Furthermore, the website cannot be used if certain information essential for data transmission (such as IP addresses) is not disclosed.
9. Rights of the Data Subject
Under applicable data protection laws (such as the GDPR), you have rights regarding information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and data portability. However, please note that we reserve the right to restrict these rights if we are subject to statutory retention obligations, have overriding interests, or require the data to assert legal claims. We will notify you in advance if any costs arise. Information regarding the possibility of withdrawing consent has been provided in the relevant sections. Exercising your rights may conflict with contractual obligations (e.g., resulting in early termination or financial consequences); we will inform you in advance if this is the case and the contract does not already specify such outcomes.
Exercising your rights generally requires you to provide clear proof of identity (e.g., by submitting a copy of an identity document). You may contact us at the address provided in the relevant section to exercise your rights.
Every data subject has the right to seek judicial redress or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.kyomori.com).
10. Changes
We may update this Data Protection Statement at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. If the Data Protection Statement forms part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of any changes via email or other appropriate means.
