Data processing under the Swiss DSG

In principle, the use of our website is subject to the legal regulations of the GDPR. Insofar as you also visit our website from Switzerland and insofar as the associated data processing also affects you as a Swiss citizen, these data protection provisions also apply to you under the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act ("Swiss DSG" as amended on 01 September 2023), analogously to the GDPR.  

  

In principle, the Swiss DSG does not provide for the naming of a legal basis. In this respect, we only process your data from Switzerland if the processing is lawful, is carried out in good faith and is proportionate in accordance with Art. 6 (1) and (2) of the Swiss DSG. Furthermore, your data will only be collected by us for a specific purpose that is recognizable to the data subject and will only be processed in such a way that it is compatible with these purposes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 3 of the Swiss Data Protection Act.  

 

In this context, please also note that although certain terms are formulated differently under the GDPR, they have the same legal meaning as under the Swiss DSG. For example, the GDPR terms "processing" of "personal data" as well as "legitimate interest" and "special categories of data" used in this Privacy Notice correspond to the terms "processing" of "personal data", "overriding interest" and "personal data requiring special protection" used in the Swiss DSG.

  

The data subject rights set out here pursuant to Art. 12 et seq. DSG can be asserted by data subjects from Switzerland in analogy to the regulations pursuant to Art. 25 et seq. of the Swiss DSG.

This Notice is to provide you with information regarding any financial incentive or “price or service difference” that we may provide in exchange for your personal information.

 

In order to participate in our loyalty rewards program, you may provide personal information from time to time, directly or indirectly, in exchange for cash, gift cards, or other financial incentive, or price or service difference, the amount or nature of which will be specified in each instance at the time the personal information is to be submitted.

Each financial incentive or price or service difference related to submission and use of consumer personal information is based on our reasonable but sole determination of the estimated value of such information, which takes into consideration, without limitation, estimates regarding the revenue generated from such information, the participated expenses which might be incurred in the collection, storage and use of such information in operation of our business, and other relevant factors related to the estimated value of such information to our business, as permitted under the CCPA.
