Right to data portability

In accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to the transfer of personal data concerning you. We will provide the data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. The data can be sent either to you yourself or to a controller named by you.

We will provide you with the following data on request:

Data collected on the basis of consent (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 let. a GDPR);

Data that we have received from you as part of existing contracts (Art. 31 para. 2 let. a FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 let. b GDPR and Art. 9 para. 2 let. a GDPR);

Data that has been processed as part of an automated procedure.

We will transfer the personal data directly to a controller of your choice insofar as this is technically feasible. Please note that we may not transfer data that interferes with the overriding interests of third parties in accordance with Art. 26 para. 1 let. b FADP or Art. 20 para. 4 GDPR, or only to a limited extent.

Notifications to the FDPIC and the right to lodge a complaint

Pursuant to Art. 49 FADP, data subjects can file a complaint with the supervisory authority if there are sufficient indications that data processing could violate data protection regulations. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

Further information can be found in the FDPIC's contact form: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/edoeb/de/home/deredoeb/kontakt.html

If you suspect that your data is being processed unlawfully on our website, you can bring about a judicial clarification of the problem in accordance with Art. 32 FADP. As a rule, an action under Art. 28 ff. ZGB should be sought. If you are affected by the processing of data by federal bodies, the procedure is governed by Art. 41 FADP. In this case, you can also contact the FDPIC (see reference to the contact form above).

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 para. 1 GDPR

If you suspect that your data is being processed unlawfully on our website, you can of course bring about a judicial clarification of the issue at any time. You also have every other legal option. Irrespective of this, you have the option of contacting a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 para. 1 GDPR. The right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR is available to you in the EU Member State of your place of residence, your place of work and/or the place of the alleged infringement, i.e. you can choose the supervisory authority to which you turn from the above-mentioned places. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will then inform you of the status and outcome of your complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
