When processing personal data, OA is guided by the provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), the Ordinance to the Data Protection Act (DPA) and any other data protection provisions, insofar as they are applicable to the data processing referred to in this Policy.

3. Origin and processing of personal data
OA primarily processes personal data that it receives in the context of client relationships as well as contractual relationships with business partners from these or other persons involved. In addition, OA processes personal data that it collects from users in the course of operating OA's website. If personal data of other persons (e.g. family members, work colleagues or employees) is transferred to OA by the data subject, it must be ensured that the personal data provided is accurate and that these persons have been made aware of this Privacy Policy.
In addition to the data that is provided to OA by the data subject, OA also processes data that it receives from authorities or other third parties (e.g. custodian banks), publicly accessible data or data that it becomes aware of as a result of the use of a service. The categories of personal data that OA obtains from third parties include, in particular, information from public registers, information in connection with administrative or judicial proceedings, information in connection with professional activities or functions of the data subject, information about the data subject from correspondence and meetings with her/him and/or with third parties, information about the data subject disclosed to OA by persons in the data subject's environment (e.g. family, accountant, attorney), information for compliance with legal requirements such as anti-money laundering and terrorist financing regulation or export restrictions, information from banks, insurance companies and other contracting partners of OA for the use or provision of services for the data subject and third parties, information in the media and internet and data in connection with the use of OA's website.
4. Purposes of data processing
OA always processes personal data for a specific purpose. Primarily, this is the conclusion and fulfillment of contracts, in particular in the context of providing services to clients and purchasing products and services from suppliers, as well as in order to comply with OA's legal obligations. In addition, OA also processes personal data for the following purposes, which are in OAs legitimate interest:
If the data subject gives consent for the processing of his/her personal data for specific purposes (e.g. receiving newsletters), OA will process the personal data only within the scope of and based on this consent. The given consent can be revoked at any time.
5. Data transfer to third parties and data transfer abroad
The personal data processed by OA will be transferred to third parties, if necessary or useful from OA's point of view, for the provision of the services or fulfillment of other purposes defined in this Privacy Policy. These recipients of personal data may fall into the following categories:
The aforementioned recipients of personal data may be located in Switzerland, but also abroad. The data subject must accordingly expect his/her personal data to be processed in Switzerland but also transmitted to any other country in the world where service providers of OA are located. If a recipient is located in a country without adequate data protection, OA will contractually bind the recipient (e.g. by means of recognized standard contractual clauses) or will rely on an exemption provision, such as consent, the execution of the contract or an overriding public interest.
6. Data security
OA takes appropriate technical and organizational security measures, to protect personal data of the data subject from unauthorized access and misuse.
7. Cookies and tracking
OA uses cookies on the website. Cookies are small text files that are automatically stored on a computer's hard drive when users visit OA's website. Cookies do not cause any harm there. These cookies are used to collect statistical information about visitors' use of the website on an anonymous basis. The information also enables the operator to optimize the functionality of the website. The website operator may cooperate with Google Analytics in the area of web analytics.

9. Rights of the data subject
This Privacy Policy also serves to provide the data subject with the information required to enable him/her to assert the following rights to which he/she is entitled under the FADP:
The data subject also has the right to enforce his/her claims in court or to file a complaint with the competent data protection authority (in Switzerland: the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner). OA draws attention to the fact that OA reserves the right to enforce the restrictions provided for by law, such as legal obligations to retain or process data or the existence of an overriding interest in data processing. The assertion of rights due to the data subject may result in OA no longer being able to provide agreed services and may result in termination of the contract.
