General Information on Data Processing
Scope of Processing
We collect and use personal data from our visitors and users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of users’ personal data generally takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Legal
basis The basis for the processing of personal data in Switzerland is Art. 4 et seq. of the DSG. To the extent that the processing falls within the scope of the GDPR, Art. 6(1)(a)–(c) of the GDPR forms the legal basis for the processing of personal data. If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests and fundamental rights of the users do not outweigh the aforementioned interest, Art. 13 DSG or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Data Deletion and Retention Period
The data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by European or national regulations, laws, or other provisions to which we are subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a retention period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The data is stored in log files to ensure the website’s functionality.

Newsletter
Scope of Data Processing
On our website, you have the option to subscribe to a free newsletter. When you sign up for the newsletter, the following data from the input form is transmitted to us: Your email address, first and last name, and country.
In addition, the following data is collected during registration:
IP address of the accessing computer
Date and time of registration
Your consent is obtained for the processing of this data as part of the registration process, and reference is made
to this privacy policy. If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receiving the newsletter.
To ensure that the newsletter is sent with your consent, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. As part of this process, the potential recipient is added to a mailing list. The user then receives a confirmation email giving them the opportunity to confirm their subscription in a legally compliant manner. Only once confirmation is received is the address actively added to the mailing list.
We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and offers.
We use Mailchimp as our newsletter software.
Your data is transmitted to Mailchimp, a subsidiary of “The Rocket Science Group LLC.” Mailchimp is prohibited from selling your data or using it for any purpose other than sending newsletters. Mailchimp is a certified provider selected in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act.
Further information can be found here:
https://mailchimp.com/legal/
You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
Data protection measures are subject to technical updates; for this reason, we ask that you review the privacy policy at regular intervals to stay informed about our data protection practices.
Purpose of Data Processing
The collection of your email address serves to deliver the newsletter and current information from Füreinander GmbH.
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. The user’s email address will therefore be stored for as long as the newsletter subscription remains active.
Right to object and right to erasure
The user may cancel the newsletter subscription at any time. A link for this purpose is included in every newsletter. When the email is deleted, the web beacon is also automatically deleted. Our standard text emails do not contain web beacons.
This also allows for the revocation of consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

Rights of Website Users / Data Subject Rights
If personal data concerning you is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, and you have the following rights against us as the controller pursuant to Art. 8 of the DSG as well as Art. 15 of the GDPR:
Right of access
You may request information from us and confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you may request the following information from us: the purposes and categories of personal data being processed, including the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, as well as the planned duration of storage of the data concerning you. If we use profiling technologies, we must provide you with meaningful information regarding the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing on you. Furthermore, we must inform you of your right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority. You also have the right to request information regarding whether the data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to have your data rectified and/or completed if the data processed about you is inaccurate or incomplete. If this is the case, we will rectify the data without delay.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request the restriction of the processing of your data under the following conditions:
if you contest the accuracy of the data concerning you for a period that allows us to verify the accuracy of your data;
the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your data and instead request the restriction of the use of your data;
we no longer need your data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or
if you have objected to the processing and it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds. If the processing of your data has been restricted, such data—apart from its storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.
If the restriction on processing has been imposed in accordance with the above conditions, we will notify you before the restriction is lifted.
Right to Erasure
We are obligated to erase your data without delay if any of the following grounds apply:
Your data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected it;
you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) and there are no overriding legitimate grounds on our part for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2).
Your data has been processed unlawfully.
The right to erasure does not apply if the processing is
necessary to fulfill a legal obligation that requires the processing (e.g., vis-à-vis authorities and government agencies), or to perform a task carried out in the public interest that has been entrusted to us;
or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Right to Information
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against us, we are obligated to notify all recipients to whom your data has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed of these recipients.
Right to Object
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your data carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In such cases, we will no longer process your data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If your data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Right to Withdraw Consent to Data Processing
You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to withdrawal.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority if you believe that the processing of your data violates applicable law.
The data protection authority will inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of judicial remedies.
