3. General Principles
3.1. What data do we collect from you and from whom do we receive it?
Primarily, we process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect during the operation of our website. In some cases, we may also receive personal data about you from third parties. These may include the following categories:
- Personal details (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
- Contact details (mobile number, email address, etc.);
- Financial data (e.g. account information);
- Online identifiers (e.g. cookie ID, IP addresses);
- Location and traffic data;
- Audio and video recordings;
- Special categories of data (e.g. biometric data or information about your health).
3.2. Under what conditions do we process your data?
We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes defined in this privacy policy. We ensure that processing is transparent and proportionate.
If, in exceptional cases, we are unable to follow these principles, the data processing may still be lawful if there is a justification. Possible justifications include:
- Your consent;
- The performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
- Our legitimate interests, provided your interests do not override them.
3.3. How can you revoke your consent?
If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of that consent unless another legal basis applies.
You can revoke your consent at any time by sending an email to the address listed in the legal notice. Data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected.
3.4. In which cases may we share your data with third parties?
a. General principle
We may need to use the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients include in particular:
- Accounting, fiduciary and auditing firms
- Consulting firms (legal, tax, etc.)
- IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, web development, etc.)
- Payment service providers
- Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services
We ensure that these third parties and affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.
We may also be obliged to disclose your personal data to authorities.
b. Visiting our social media channels
Our website may contain links to our social media channels, which are clearly recognizable (typically through corresponding icons). If you click on such an icon, you will be redirected to the respective social media platform.
The social media providers will then know that you accessed their platform via our website. They may use this information for their own purposes. Please note that we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by the platform providers.
c. Transfers abroad
In the course of processing, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad. These companies are obligated to the same level of data protection as we are. Transfers may take place worldwide.
If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we conduct a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure equivalent protection (e.g., through the new EU Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally required safeguards). If the risk assessment is negative, we implement additional technical measures to protect your data.
You can access the EU Standard Contractual Clauses via the following link:
https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de
3.5. How long do we retain your data?
We store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.
Data collected during your visit to our website is retained for twelve months. An exception applies to analytics and tracking data, which may be stored for a longer period.
Contract data is retained for longer, as we are legally required to do so. In particular, we must keep business communications, concluded contracts, and accounting records for up to 10 years. Once we no longer require this data for service delivery, it will be restricted and used only for accounting and tax purposes.
3.6. How do we protect your data?
We store your data securely and take all reasonable measures to protect it from loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.
Our contractors and employees who have access to your data are bound to comply with data protection laws. In certain cases, it may be necessary for us to forward your inquiries to affiliated companies. Even in such cases, your data will be treated confidentially.
We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol on our website, combined with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.
3.7 What rights do you have?
a. Right of access
You may request information at any time about the data we have stored about you. Please send your request together with proof of identity to info@offertenschweiz.ch.
You also have the right to receive your data in a commonly used file format if we process your data automatically, and if:
- You have given your consent to the processing of this data; or
- You have provided the data in connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract.
We may restrict or refuse to provide access or data release if doing so would conflict with our legal obligations, legitimate interests, public interests, or the interests of a third party.
Your request will be processed within the statutory response period of 30 days. However, this period may be extended due to high request volume, legal or technical reasons, or if we require further information from you. You will be informed of the extension in due time, at least in written form.
b. Deletion and Correction
You may request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject your request if legal regulations require us to retain the data for a longer or unchanged period, or if another legal basis opposes the request.
Please note that exercising your rights may, in some cases, conflict with contractual agreements and may affect the performance of the contract (e.g., early termination or cost implications).
c. Legal Recourse
If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to assert your rights through the courts or file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
In Switzerland, the competent authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch

What information do we collect and how do we use it?
When you visit https://offertenschweiz.ch/, certain data is automatically stored on our servers or on the servers of services and products we use and/or have installed. This is done for system administration, statistical analysis, security, or tracking purposes. These data may include:
- the name of your internet service provider;
- your IP address (possibly);
- the version of your browser software;
- the operating system of the device used to access the URL;
- the date and time of access;
- the website from which you accessed the URL;

Why are we allowed to process this data?
These data cannot be linked to a specific individual, and they are not merged with other data sources. The storage of log files is necessary to ensure the functionality of the website and the security of our IT systems. This constitutes our legitimate interest.
How can you prevent data collection?
The data is stored only as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Accordingly, the data is deleted after each session ends. Storing log files is essential for the operation of the website; therefore, you have no option to object to this.
4.2. Google Ads
We use the service Google Ads on our website, an online advertising platform provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in Google search results and across the Google advertising network.
4.3. Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, within that framework, Conversion Tracking (visit action analysis). Google Ads Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).
When you click on a Google ad, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your device. These cookies have a limited lifespan, do not contain personal data, and are not used to personally identify users. If you visit specific pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked the ad and were redirected to that page.
The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that could personally identify users.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. Please note that, in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. Additionally, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

LinkedIn Ads allow us to run targeted advertising based on user interests and behavior. LinkedIn uses cookies and similar technologies to show ads based on your previous visits to our and other websites. This enables us to measure and optimize the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
The information collected through LinkedIn Ads is anonymous to us, meaning we do not receive any personal data about individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by LinkedIn and may be linked to your LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn may use this data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with its privacy policy.
If you are a LinkedIn member and are logged into your account while visiting our website, the data collected by LinkedIn Ads will be associated with your LinkedIn profile.

The data collected via the cookie is transmitted to and stored by Meta. These data may be linked to your Meta account (formerly Facebook account) and used for Meta’s own advertising purposes.
If you want to generally prevent cookies from being stored on your device, you can configure your browser to no longer accept cookies or to delete existing cookies. Disabling cookies may lead to some functions of our website no longer working properly.

4.7. TikTok Pixel
We use TikTok Pixel on our website, an analytics tool from TikTok Pte. Ltd., 1 Keong Saik Road, Singapore 089109, Singapore (“TikTok”). The TikTok Pixel allows us to track user behavior after they are redirected to our website by clicking on a TikTok ad. This helps us measure the effectiveness of TikTok advertising for statistical and market research purposes and optimize our advertising efforts.
The information collected by the pixel is anonymous to us, meaning we do not see any personal data of individual users. However, TikTok stores and processes this data in a way that allows it to be linked to user profiles, and TikTok may use this data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with its privacy policy.

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within EU member states or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that doing so may prevent you from using all features of this website to the fullest extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
4.9. Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager, a service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”), to manage website tags through an interface. Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not process personal data. The service triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been set at the domain or cookie level, it remains effective for all tracking tags implemented via Google Tag Manager.
By using Google Tag Manager, scripts (so-called tags) can be automatically triggered on our website, and data from your browser can be transmitted to Google. This data may include your IP address, the browser you use, the subpages you visit on our website, and other interactions during your website session.
4.10. Google My Business
We use functions from Google My Business on our website, a service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google My Business allows businesses to manage their presence on Google, including Google Search and Google Maps, and interact with customers.
By visiting our website or interacting with our Google My Business entry, such as leaving reviews or asking questions, data—particularly your IP address and the content of your interactions—is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers. These servers may be located in the USA or other countries.
Google uses this information to provide Google My Business services, facilitate user interaction with businesses, and provide us with reports and analyses regarding engagement and performance of our business profile.
4.11. YouTube
Our website includes videos from YouTube, a platform of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). When videos are displayed or when the play button is clicked, data—including your IP address and information about the browser you use—is transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers. This data is used to provide the video, monitor performance, and enhance the user experience.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
4.12. Complianz
We use the service “Complianz” on our website, provided by Really Simple Plugins, Keizersgracht 221, 1016 DV Amsterdam, Netherlands. Complianz is a tool that helps us generate cookie notices in compliance with data protection regulations and obtain user consent for the use of cookies and other tracking technologies as required by law.
