With this privacy policy, we provide information about which personal data we process in connection with our activities and operations, including our partekk.com website. In particular, we provide information on why, how and where we process personal data. We also provide information about the rights of persons whose data we process.
For individual or additional activities and operations, further data protection declarations and other legal documents such as general terms and conditions (GTC), terms of use or conditions of participation may apply.
We are subject to Swiss data protection law and any applicable foreign data protection law, in particular that of the European Union (EU) with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The European Commission recognizes that Swiss data protection law ensures adequate data protection.
Responsibility for the processing of personal data:
Partekk AG

We would like to point out if there are other controllers for the processing of personal data in individual cases.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed.
Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, collection, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
The European Economic Area (EEA) comprises the member states of the European Union (EU) as well as the Principality of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) defines the processing of personal data as the processing of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (OFADP).
If and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, we process personal data based on at least one of the following legal grounds:
We process the personal data necessary to carry out our activities in a sustainable, user-friendly, secure, and reliable manner. Such personal data may fall into the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, metadata and peripheral data, usage data, location data, sales data, as well as contract and payment data.
We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose(s) or as required by law. Personal data that is no longer necessary for processing will be anonymized or deleted.
We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may also process personal data jointly with third parties or transfer it to third parties. Such third parties primarily include specialized service providers whose services we use. We ensure data protection is upheld even when data is processed by such third parties.
We only process personal data with the consent of the data subject unless processing is permissible on other legal grounds. Processing without consent may be permitted, for example, to fulfill a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre-contractual measures, to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests, if the processing is evident from the circumstances, or after prior notification.
In this context, we particularly process information voluntarily provided by a data subject when contacting us—such as via postal mail, email, instant messaging, contact forms, social media, or telephone—or when registering for a user account. We may store such information in an address book, a customer relationship management (CRM) system, or similar tools. If we receive data about other persons, the individuals providing the data must ensure data protection for those persons and verify the accuracy of the personal data.
Additionally, we process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources, or collect in the course of our activities, provided that such processing is legally permissible.
We generally process personal data in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we may also export or transfer personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process it or have it processed there.
We may export personal data to all countries and territories on earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that the local law guarantees adequate data protection in the opinion of the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or in accordance with a decision of the Swiss Federal Council and – if and insofar as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – in accordance with a decision of the European Commission.
We may transfer personal data to countries whose law does not guarantee adequate data protection, provided that data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable guarantees. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the special requirements under data protection law are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of guarantees.
Data subjects about whom we process personal data have rights under Swiss data protection law. These include the right to information and the right to rectification, erasure or blocking of the processed personal data.
Data subjects whose personal data we process may – if and insofar as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – request confirmation free of charge as to whether we are processing personal data concerning them. In this case, data subjects can request information about the processing of their personal data, have the processing of their personal data restricted, exercise their right to data portability and have their personal data rectified, erased (“right to be forgotten”), blocked or completed.
Data subjects whose personal data we process can – if and insofar as the GDPR is applicable – withdraw their consent at any time with effect for the future and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
Data subjects whose personal data we process have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
We take suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
Our website is accessed using transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated to HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.
Our digital communication – like all digital communication in general – is subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion and other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police forces and other security authorities.
We may use cookies. Cookies—both our own (first-party cookies) and those from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies)—are data stored in the browser. Such stored data is not necessarily limited to traditional text-based cookies.
Cookies can be stored in the browser either temporarily as “session cookies” or for a specific period as so-called “persistent cookies.” Session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, whereas persistent cookies have a defined storage duration. Cookies enable, among other things, the recognition of a browser on a subsequent visit to our website, allowing us to measure the reach of our website. Persistent cookies can also be used for online marketing purposes.
Cookies can be disabled or deleted entirely or partially in the browser settings at any time. However, without cookies, our website may no longer be fully functional. Where necessary, we actively seek explicit consent for the use of cookies.
For cookies used for performance and reach measurement or advertising purposes, many services offer a general opt-out option through platforms such as AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance), or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).
We may collect the following information for each access to our website, provided that this information is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: Date and time including time zone, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual sub-page of our website accessed including amount of data transferred, last website accessed in the same browser window (referrer).
We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is required to provide our website in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner and to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data – also by third parties or with the help of third parties.
We may use tracking pixels on our website. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels – including those from third parties whose services we use – are small, usually invisible images that are automatically retrieved when you visit our website. Tracking pixels can be used to collect the same information as server log files.
We send notifications and messages by e-mail and via other communication channels such as instant messaging or SMS.
Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message has been opened and which web links have been clicked on. Such web links and tracking pixels can also record the use of notifications and messages on a personal basis. We require this statistical recording of usage to measure success and reach in order to be able to send notifications and messages in an effective, user-friendly, permanent, secure and reliable manner based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients.
You must always expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and your other contact addresses, unless such use is permitted for other legal reasons. Wherever possible, we use the “double opt-in” procedure to obtain consent, i.e. you will receive an e-mail with a web link that you must click on to confirm, so that no misuse by unauthorized third parties can occur. We may log such consents, including the Internet Protocol (IP) address, date and time, for reasons of proof and security.
You can object to receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can also object to the statistical recording of usage for measuring success and reach. Necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and operations remain reserved.
We send notifications and messages with the help of specialized service providers.
