References to the FADP are to be understood as references to the GDPR insofar as data transfers are subject to the GDPR.

In this Privacy Policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing in connection with our website and our SUNNYCLOCK App «SUNNYCLOCK» as well as your data protection rights.

The version current at the time of use always applies. We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time.

2 Collection and Processing of Personal Data

2.1 Visiting the Website / Using the SUNNYCLOCK App

When you visit our website or access our services via the SUNNYCLOCK App, our servers temporarily store the following data in a log file, known as server log files:

This data is processed for the purpose of enabling use of our website and the SUNNYCLOCK App service (connection establishment), ensuring permanent system security and stability, optimising our offering and for internal statistical purposes. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interests.

This data is not passed on to third parties or otherwise evaluated.

When you contact us by email or telephone, the following data provided by you will be processed for the purpose of handling your enquiry and its processing:

The legal basis for processing your personal data is our legitimate interest in handling your enquiry. If the contact is for the purpose of fulfilling a contract to which you are a party or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, this constitutes an additional legal basis for processing your personal data.

You may object to this data processing at any time. Please send your objection to the following email address: ask@sunnyclock.com. In such a case, your enquiry will not be processed further.

2.3 User Account

A user account can be created either via our website (Web Account) or by installing the App (App Account). The App Account and Web Account (= User Account) can be linked and synchronised via the App.

2.4 Web Account

On our website you can create a Web Account and log in and register for events. For this purpose, we require your email address and your first and last name.

The first and last name is displayed to all event participants after logging into the event (also referred to as activating the event), regardless of whether they participate via the App or the Web. The email address is not shown to event participants and is used for communication and marketing in connection with an event.

If the event for which you are registering requires verification of a telephone number, we also require a mobile telephone number for registration.

Only organisers and hosts of the event have access to verified telephone numbers of users. This access is used exclusively for the following purposes:

The following data is transmitted to Payrexx (see also the Business Account chapter) for payment of an event:

We use the collected data on the basis of our legitimate interests for the provision and management of the Web Account, the purchase of activities and events, promoting networking and exchange among participants, facilitating identification and contact during the event, supporting a personalised and pleasant event experience as well as personalising and improving our offering. A further legal basis is the performance of the contract, i.e. the event for which you have registered, or the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

2.5 Business Account

You can create a Business Account in collaboration with us. The Business Account enables a presence as a professional organiser and the creation, sale and management of paid activities and events, the identification of event participants via a mobile telephone number, the building of followers and other additional functions. In this context, we generally collect and process the following data:

Only organisers and hosts of a Business Account have access to the verified telephone numbers of users. This access is used exclusively for the following purposes:

For the sale of paid activities and events, each Business Account is granted access to a payment platform solution at www.pay.sunnyclock.com. The payment platform is operated by Payrexx AG in CH-3600 Thun for SUNNYCLOCK (Privacy Policy). All data for the creation of a Business Account and payment of revenues is collected by Payrexx. SUNNYCLOCK AG itself does not store any payment data, neither from App, Web nor Business Accounts.

SUNNYCLOCK establishes the connection between User and Business Account so that User Accounts associated with a Business Account can sell their events. A User Account can belong to multiple Business Accounts.

The legal basis is the performance of the contract, i.e. the activity or event you plan and sell, or the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In certain cases, processing also takes place on the basis of legitimate interests, in particular to ensure IT security and improve our offering.

2.6 Performance of Contractual Services

We also process your data for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual and pre-contractual obligations, in particular in connection with the provision of our services in connection with the SUNNYCLOCK App. The personal data processed, the type, scope, purpose and necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.

The personal data processed includes:

We generally do not process special categories of personal data, unless these are components of contractually compliant processing.

In the context of using our services, we may also store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. Storage takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests as well as the interests of users in protection against misuse and other unauthorised use.

2.7 Market Research and Opinion Surveys

We collect personal data in the context of market research and opinion surveys.

The legal basis for processing your personal data in the context of market and opinion surveys is the existence of your consent.

Detailed information, in particular regarding the categories of data collected as well as the evaluation of your responses, can be found in the respective survey or where you provide your information.

Your responses to surveys will not be passed on to third parties or published.

You may withdraw the consent you have given at any time. Please send your withdrawal to the following email address: ask@sunnyclock.com.

3 General Information on Cookies

We use cookies on our website and within our SUNNYCLOCK App on the basis of our legitimate interests. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your mobile phone (or laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) with the help of the browser. They serve to make the use of our services more user-friendly and effective overall and to make your visit to our website or use of our SUNNYCLOCK App as pleasant as possible. Cookies do not cause any damage to your mobile phone. They cannot execute programmes or transmit viruses to your mobile phone.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies. These store a session ID, which allows different requests from your browser to be assigned to the web session. This allows your mobile phone to be recognised when you return to the website. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you log out or close the browser.

Other cookies we use, so-called persistent cookies, remain stored on your mobile phone beyond the respective usage process and allow us or our partner companies (third-party cookies, see Chapter 4 (Google Services) of this Privacy Policy) to recognise your browser on your next visit.

Finally, we use performance cookies to collect information about how you use our services. Such cookies help us to improve our services. We can use these cookies, for example, to determine whether you have visited a specific page.

The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If we ask for your consent and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your personal data is your consent. If we do not obtain your consent, we process the personal data processed using cookies on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the analysis and optimisation of our services and offerings) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

Most browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. If you do not want this, you can set your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow the acceptance of cookies only in individual cases or to exclude them generally. You can also activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. In addition, you can delete cookies that have already been set at any time via the browser or other software programmes. However, the complete deactivation of cookies may result in individual functions of our website or SUNNYCLOCK App no longer working.

You can find information about this option for the most commonly used browsers via the following links:

4 Google Services

On the basis of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our offering, we use the following services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, or, if you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland («Google»):

In addition, we process your personal data for the provision of our service in connection with the use of the SUNNYCLOCK App. The legal basis for processing is therefore, in addition to legitimate interests, also the contract between you and SUNNYCLOCK.

Google uses cookies. The cookies used by Google enable us to analyse the use of our website and our SUNNYCLOCK App. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website or SUNNYCLOCK App (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server, possibly in the USA or other third countries, and stored there.

You can find more information on Google's terms of use and privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4.1 Google Analytics 4

On our website we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google that enables analysis of your use of our website.

Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) and enable analysis of your use of our website. This allows us to evaluate user behaviour on our website and to make our offering more interesting through the statistics/reports obtained.

By default, Google Analytics 4 does not use cookies when you visit the website, unless you explicitly consent to cookies. Instead, information about your usage behaviour is collected and processed via so-called pings (small data packets sent to the host of an end device). The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which is however shortened by Google by the last digits in order to exclude direct personal reference.

In Google Analytics 4, the anonymisation of IP addresses is activated by default. This means your IP address is shortened by Google within Switzerland or the EU/EEA before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server and shortened there.

All data processing operations described above, including the data transmission via pings and the possible setting of Google Analytics cookies, only take place if you have explicitly consented.

Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the website. You can withdraw your consent with effect for the future at any time. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service via the «Cookie Consent Tool» provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of your data as visitors to our site and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties. For the transfer of data to the USA, Google relies on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection. Further legal information on Google Analytics 4, including a copy of the standard contractual clauses mentioned, can be found here: Privacy Policy & Terms of Service – Google.

Google Analytics 4 uses the special «demographic features» function and can use it to generate statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of website visitors. This is done through the analysis of advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be assigned to any specific person and is deleted after storage for a period of two months.

As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on the website to generate cross-device reports. If you have activated personalised ads and linked your devices to your Google Account, Google can analyse your usage behaviour across devices for the use of Google Analytics 4 and create database models, including for cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you want to stop the cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the «Personalised advertising» function in the settings of your Google Account. Follow these instructions: Activate Google Signals – Google Analytics Help.

As an extension to Google Analytics 4, the «UserIDs» function can be used on the website. If you log in to different devices with this account, your activities, including conversions, can be analysed across devices.

Google uses this information to evaluate your pseudonymous use of our websites, to compile reports on website activities and to provide us with further services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google, according to Google. When you visit our websites, your user behaviour in the form of events (e.g. page views, purchase activities incl. revenue, interaction with the website or your «click path») as well as other data such as your approximate location (country and city), technical information about your browser and the end devices you use or the referrer URL, i.e. via which website/advertising medium you came to our website, is recorded.

You can prevent the collection and transmission of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of our website (incl. your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If you wish to object to interest-based advertising by Google, you can use the settings and opt-out options provided by Google.

If you allow cookies to be stored, Google Analytics retains your data for two months. Data that has reached the end of this retention period is automatically deleted. An overview of data usage in Google Analytics and the measures taken by Google to protect your data can be found in Google Analytics Help.

4.2 Google Maps

We use the Google service «Google Maps» to display geographical information visually.

Through the use of Google Maps, information about your use of our website, including your IP address and the (starting) address entered as part of the route planner function, may be transmitted to a Google server, possibly in the USA or other third countries, and stored there. Google may store this data as user profiles for the purposes of demand-oriented design of services, advertising and market research. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want this, you must log out beforehand. If you do not agree to the processing of your data, you can deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the JavaScript function in your browser. We would however point out that in this case you will not be able to use Google Maps, or only to a limited extent.

Further information on data processing and privacy notices for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en_en/help/terms_maps/ and https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4.3 Push Notifications

You can register to receive our push notifications. For this purpose, we use the services Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (Android) and Apple Push Notifications Service (iOS).

To register for push notifications, you must confirm the query from your browser or end device for receiving push notifications. This consent process is documented and stored. This data serves on the one hand to enable us to send you push notifications and on the other hand as proof of your registration. You can change your consent to receive push notifications at any time in the settings of the SUNNYCLOCK App or the operating system of your device.

Through the use of these services, information about your use may be transmitted to a Google or Apple server in the USA and stored there. We have no influence over the further processing of data by Google or Apple. Please also read the terms of use of Google or Apple if you wish to use the service. If you do not agree to the processing of data by Google or Apple, please refrain from using the push functions.

Further information can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/.

5 Disclosure of Personal Data (Abroad)

We treat your personal data as confidential in principle and only pass it on if you have explicitly consented to this, we are legally obliged or entitled to do so, or this is necessary for the enforcement of our rights, in particular for the enforcement of claims arising from a contractual relationship.

In addition, certain tasks and services (e.g. hosting) are provided by trusted third-party providers commissioned by us. However, this only takes place to the extent required for the provision of services and in accordance with the obligations arising from this Privacy Policy. These third-party providers are obliged to protect the data on the basis of commissioned data processing in accordance with applicable data protection law. Furthermore, these service providers are carefully selected and regularly reviewed by us to ensure that the privacy of users is maintained.

If the level of data protection in a country where data is processed does not meet the applicable data protection regulations, we ensure contractually that the protection of your personal data corresponds at all times to that in Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA).

6 Retention Period

Unless expressly stated otherwise in this Privacy Policy, we process and store your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise for the purposes pursued by the processing, and in accordance with the statutory retention periods.

As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes or a prescribed retention period expires, your personal data will in principle be deleted or blocked as far as possible.

If we store your personal data on the basis of a contractual relationship, this data will remain stored for at least as long as the contractual relationship exists and for as long as limitation periods for possible claims on our part run or statutory or contractual retention obligations exist.

7 Data Security

We take technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. This includes, among other things, the use of recognised encryption methods (e.g. TLS encryption).

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

We also take our own internal data protection seriously. Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with data protection regulations. Furthermore, they are only granted access to your personal data to the extent necessary.

8 Use of the Website by Minors

The website and the SUNNYCLOCK App are aimed at an adult audience. Minors, in particular children under the age of 16, are prohibited from transmitting personal data to us or registering for a service without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. If we find that such data has been transmitted to us, it will be deleted. The parents (or legal guardian) of the child may contact us to request deletion or deregistration. For this purpose, we require a copy of an official document identifying you as a parent or person with parental authority.

9 Links to Websites of Other Providers

Our website may contain links to websites of other providers to which this Privacy Policy does not extend. After clicking on the link, we no longer have any influence over the processing of any data transferred to third parties (such as the IP address or the URL), as the behaviour of third parties is naturally beyond our control. We therefore cannot accept any responsibility for the processing of your personal data by third parties. To the extent that the collection, processing or use of your personal data is connected with the use of the websites of other providers, please observe the privacy notices of the respective providers.

Unlawful content was not recognisable at the time of linking. However, a permanent content check and review of linked pages without concrete indications of a legal violation is not reasonable. If we become aware of legal violations, such links will be removed immediately.

10 Provision and Services of the SUNNYCLOCK App

10.1 Download of the SUNNYCLOCK App

When downloading the SUNNYCLOCK App, the information required for this is transmitted to the respective App Store (e.g. Google Play or Apple App Store), i.e. to our knowledge:

We have no influence over this data collection by the App Store and are not responsible for it. We only process the data to the extent necessary for downloading the SUNNYCLOCK App to your mobile phone.

Further information can be found in the privacy policies of the App Store operators:

10.2 Registration, Access Authorisation and Use of the SUNNYCLOCK App

We process personal data in order to be able to operate, offer, improve, understand, personalise, support and market our services. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in sustainable business operations and the improvement of the user experience of the SUNNYCLOCK App.

The types of data we receive and collect depend on how you use our service and can be divided into the following categories:

10.2.1 Registration of an App Account

To be able to use our SUNNYCLOCK App and services, you must register by providing personal data. The following personal data is entered into an input screen of the SUNNYCLOCK App or the service and transmitted to us, processed and stored:

The details marked with * are mandatory fields and are required to provide you with the services. If you do not provide this data, you cannot create an App Account. All other details can be provided on a voluntary basis.

The legal basis for processing your personal data is the existence of your consent. For this reason, your consent is obtained during registration for the processing of your personal data and reference is made to this Privacy Policy. If registration serves the purpose of fulfilling a contract to which you are a party or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, this constitutes an additional legal basis for processing your personal data.

10.2.2 Linking with a Web Account

If you have a Web Account in addition to an App Account, you can link your App Account with the Web Account by verifying the email address of your Web Account.

This action synchronises the events of your App and Web Account.

10.2.3 Linking with a Business Account

User Accounts can connect with one or more Business Accounts.

This can be done in two ways:

Adding a User Account to a Business Account gives the User Account the right to plan and sell paid events for the Business Account.

10.2.4 Access Authorisations

For full functionality, the SUNNYCLOCK App requires various access authorisations on your mobile phone. When the SUNNYCLOCK App accesses the respective function, you will therefore be prompted to activate the access authorisation if it has not yet been granted.

The SUNNYCLOCK App requires the following authorisations:

The legal basis for processing your personal data is the existence of your consent. For this reason, your consent is obtained for the access and reference is made to this Privacy Policy. You can revoke access at any time in the settings of the SUNNYCLOCK App or your operating system.

10.2.5 Ongoing Use of the SUNNYCLOCK App and Services

Each time you subsequently access or use our SUNNYCLOCK App and services, the following data can generally be collected, processed and stored, provided you make it available to us:

We also receive data about you from other users and companies. For example, when other users or companies you know use our services, they may make data about you available just as you may make data about them available, or you send a message to yourself or messages to groups or event participants to which you belong or with whom you interact in groups or events.

This data is processed to provide the services. This also represents our legitimate interest in data processing. If the processing serves the purpose of fulfilling a contract to which you are a party, this constitutes an additional legal basis for processing your personal data.

10.3 Publishing Events

The SUNNYCLOCK App enables you to share events and the following data with non-users via a web link, in order to be able to plan events with people outside the App. Each event is initially created by a user (host). Hosts can publish an event by sharing event links on private and public channels. If the event also runs via a Business Account, an event can also be published on the SUNNYCLOCK marketplace.

The following data relating to an event is generally freely available upon publication:

As soon as a person wishes to participate in an event via a web link, they need either a Web or App Account. A Web or App Account can activate a published event and thus gain access to the following event data:

This data is used to send relevant information to participants regarding the respective appointments and to promote communication between participants and event hosts.

Your personal data is processed for the performance of the contract of which you are a part. In certain cases, processing also takes place on the basis of legitimate interests, in particular to improve our offering and to promote communication and collaboration between participants.

For customer-specific events, additional registration information of participants may be collected. Necessary registration data of participants for the execution of a customer-specific event will be made available to event organisers. In this case, the privacy policy of the event organiser also applies. The guest list and registration data will be deleted as soon as the event is deleted by the administrator of the web event.

10.4 Purchasing Activities and Events

When purchasing paid activities and events, SUNNYCLOCK requires the following data from the user:

In addition, the necessary payment data must be shared with Payrexx AG. SUNNYCLOCK AG itself does not store any payment data, neither from App, Web nor Business Accounts.

10.5 Push Notifications

Our SUNNYCLOCK App gives you the option of receiving current information about our offering, messages and relevant advertising via so-called push notifications. Push notifications are messages that appear on your mobile phone without opening the respective SUNNYCLOCK App.

For sending push notifications, we use the services Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (Android) and Apple Push Notifications Service (iOS) (see Section 4.3). For this purpose, individual identification numbers are assigned to each mobile phone during SUNNYCLOCK App installation for iOS and Android devices (so-called «Device token» or «Instance ID»). No further data is collected.

When a push notification is sent, the message text and the respective identification number are transmitted to the Google or Apple servers, which then take over the sending of the message to the users' devices.

You can activate or deactivate the receipt of push notifications at any time as follows:

Further information on Google Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple Push Notifications Service and privacy can be found in Chapter 4 of this Privacy Policy as well as at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/.

11 Storage and Deletion of Data (App & Web)

The following rules apply to the storage and deletion of data:

Via Settings/Data Storage in the SUNNYCLOCK App menu, group content can be actively deleted. All your data locally on your phone and all your created chat elements and comments that are still on the chat server will be deleted.

When deleting your User Account, the following data will be deleted from our servers:

If your App and Web Account are linked, deleting your User Account will delete the content of the App and Web Account. If the App Account or Web Account is not linked, you only delete the content of the respective App or Web Account.

Inactive App Accounts:

Inactive Web Accounts:

Deletion concepts are continuously redefined based on user behaviour and reported in the Privacy Policy.
