Every time you use our services, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the device accessing our services.

The following data is collected and stored in this process:

• Date and Time: The time at which the request was processed.

4.2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act and, where applicable, the GDPR.

4.3 Purpose of Data Processing

The system’s temporary storage of the IP address is absolutely necessary for the operation of our website in order to enable the delivery of services to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

Data is stored in log files to ensure that our services function properly. We also use this data to optimize our services and ensure the security of our information technology systems. We do not analyze this data for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing.

4.4. Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected to provide services, this occurs when the respective session ends. In the case of data stored in log files, this occurs after no later than 6 months. Storage beyond this period is possible.
