Data Privacy

General Notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Government (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy as well as protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as much as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or forgery.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. During such visits, data such as pages called up or the name of the retrieved file, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly related to your person. Personal data, particularly name, address, or email address are collected as far as possible on a voluntary basis. Without your consent, the data will not be passed on to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name. Processing includes any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, particularly storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, saving, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In other respects, we process personal data – insofar and inasmuch as the EU GDPR is applicable – according to the following legal foundations in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR) - Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. d GDPR) - Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
Application procedure as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR) - If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are requested from applicants during the application procedure, their processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, in the case of protection of vital interests of applicants or other persons pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c GDPR or for purposes of health care or occupational medicine, for assessment of the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, provision or management of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services according to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h GDPR. In the case of a communication of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of long-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Relevant Legal Bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal bases of our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consents is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing for the performance of our services and implementation of contractual measures as well as answering inquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the case that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security Measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access, input, transfer, ensuring availability and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data, and reaction to data risks. Moreover, we consider the protection of personal data already in the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

Transmission of Personal Data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers entrusted with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude corresponding contracts or agreements, which serve the protection of your data, with the recipients of your data.

Data Processing in Third Countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this only takes place in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we process or let the data be processed in third countries only with the existence of the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. That means, the processing is carried out e.g., on the basis of special guarantees, like the officially recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g., for the USA by the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are saved by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after his visit within an online offer. The stored information may include, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a shopping cart, or the point at which a video was viewed.

The following types and functions of cookies are distinguished:

Temporary cookies (also: session or session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser.
Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after closing the browser. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the interests of users used for range measurement or marketing purposes can be stored in such a cookie.
First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by ourselves.
Third-party cookies (also: third-party cookies): Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
Necessary (also: essential or absolutely necessary) cookies: Cookies may be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g., to save logins or other user inputs or for security reasons).
Statistics, marketing and personalization cookies: Furthermore, cookies are generally also used in the context of range measurement as well as when the interests of a user or his behavior (e.g., viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) are stored on individual websites in a user profile. Such profiles are used to show users e.g., content that corresponds to their potential interests. This procedure is also referred to as "tracking", i.e., tracking the potential interests of users. Insofar as we use cookies or "tracking" technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or in the context of obtaining consent.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If so, and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., in a business operation of our online offer and its improvement) or if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage duration: Unless we provide you with explicit information about the storage duration of permanent cookies (e.g., as part of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage duration can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (Opt-Out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the opportunity at any time to revoke a given consent or to object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (summarized under the term "Opt-Out"). You can initially declare your objection by the settings of your browser, e.g., by disabling the use of cookies (which may also impair the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be made using a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can receive further opposition notices in the context of the information on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure, within which the consents of the users to the use of cookies, or the processing and providers named in the context of the cookie consent management procedure, can be obtained and managed and revoked by the users. The declaration of consent is stored in order not to have to repeat its query and to be able to prove the consent according to the legal obligation. The storage can take place server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or with the help of comparable technologies), in order to be able to assign the consent to a user, or its device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following applies: The duration of the storage of the consent can be up to two years. In this case, a pseudonymous user identifier is formed and stored with the time of consent, information on the scope of the consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system, and used end device.

Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), Meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
Persons affected: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR), Legitimate Interests (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR).
