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 has the right to protection of their privacy and 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 statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. 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 in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed, names of retrieved files, date and time may be stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address, or e-mail address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Without your consent, no data will 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 a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, saving, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data according to the following legal bases pursuant to Art. 6(1) GDPR:

Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Protection of vital interests (Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR) – Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(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 pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR) – Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (e.g., health data such as disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants during the application process so that the controller or the data subject can exercise rights arising from labor law and social security and social protection law, their processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR, in case of protection of vital interests pursuant to Art. 9(2)(c) GDPR, or for purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the working capacity of the employee, for medical diagnosis, health or social care, or the management of health or social care systems pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR. In the case of voluntary disclosure based on consent, processing is based on Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR.

We process personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purpose(s). In the case of longer storage obligations due to statutory or other legal requirements, processing will be restricted accordingly.

Relevant Legal Bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases of our data processing. Unless otherwise stated in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and contractual measures as well as responding to inquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR; and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security Measures

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

These measures include in particular securing 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 segregation. Furthermore, we have procedures in place to safeguard data subject rights, deletion of data, and responses to data risks. In addition, we consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software, and processes, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

Transmission of Personal Data

In the course of processing personal data, it may happen that data is transferred to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals, or disclosed to them. Recipients of such data may include IT service providers or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and in particular conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect it.

Data Processing in Third Countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or processing takes place in the context of using services of third parties or disclosing/transferring data to other persons, entities, or companies, this is done only in accordance with legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or legally or contractually required transfer, we process data only in third countries with recognized data protection levels, on the basis of EU Commission standard contractual clauses, with certifications, or binding internal data protection rules (Art. 44–49 GDPR, EU Commission info page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection).

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user’s computer. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user during or after their visit within an online offering. Stored information may include, for example, language settings, login status, a shopping cart, or the point at which a video was watched. The term “cookies” also includes other technologies that perform the same functions (e.g., storing user information using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as “user IDs”).

The following types of cookies and functions are distinguished:

Temporary cookies (session cookies): Deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser.
Permanent cookies: Remain stored even after the browser is closed, e.g., to save login status or preferred content.
First-party cookies: Set by us.
Third-party cookies: Mainly used by advertisers (third parties).
Necessary cookies: Essential for website operation.
Statistics, marketing, and personalization cookies: Used to measure reach, track user behavior, and create profiles for personalized content (“tracking”).

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 consent is given, the legal basis for processing is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is based on our legitimate interests (e.g., the economical operation of our online offering and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary, to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we provide explicit information about the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g., in the context of a cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period may be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether processing is based on consent or legal permission, you may revoke your consent at any time or object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (“opt-out”). You can declare your objection via your browser settings, e.g., by disabling the use of cookies (which may limit the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via various services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com. Further objection instructions can be found in the information on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management process, within which the consents of users to the use of cookies or the processing and providers mentioned within the cookie consent management process are obtained and managed and can be revoked by users. The consent declaration is stored to avoid having to repeat the query and to be able to prove consent in accordance with legal obligations. Storage may take place server-side and/or in a cookie (opt-in cookie or comparable technology) to assign the consent to a user or their device. Unless otherwise stated by providers of cookie management services, the storage period of consent may be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created, together with the time of consent, the scope of consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system, and device used.

Processed data types: Usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Privacy Policy for Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

Privacy Policy for Paid Services

For the provision of paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to be able to execute your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Privacy Policy for Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the “reCAPTCHA” service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The query is used to distinguish whether input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing.

The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if necessary, further data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further used there. However, within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, your IP address will first be truncated by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on the legitimate interest of the website operator in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and SPAM.

For further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please see: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the data processing of Google Analytics is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google.”

With the statistics obtained, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under “My Data,” “Personal Data.”

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) sentence 1 GDPR.

IP anonymization
We have activated IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.

Storage period
The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs, or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

Objection and revocation of consent
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by cookies and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Disable Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie will then be stored on your device, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Privacy Policy for Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function.

By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned under “Server log files” of this statement will be transmitted. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in, or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish assignment to your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailored design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing personalized advertising and informing other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Privacy Policy for YouTube

Functions of the “YouTube” service are integrated into this website. “YouTube” is owned by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operating under Irish law, with its registered office in Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Your legal agreement with “YouTube” consists of the terms and conditions found under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=en&template=terms&hl=en. These terms form a legally binding agreement between you and “YouTube” regarding the use of the services. Google’s privacy policy explains how “YouTube” handles your personal data and protects your data when you use the service.

Embedded Third-Party Content

Within our online offer, we use content or service offers from third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to uniformly as “content”).

This always assumes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the user, since without the IP address they could not send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We strive to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the users’ devices and may include, for example, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

Privacy Policy for Social Media Plugins

This website uses social plugins, e.g., from Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn. These are usually recognizable by the respective company logos.

When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the provider. The content of the plugin is transmitted by the provider directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, the provider receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the provider (usually in the USA) and stored there.

If you are logged into the provider’s service, your visit to our website can be directly assigned to your profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the “Like” button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information may also be published in the social network and displayed to your contacts.

The purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of the data by the providers, as well as your related rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy, can be found in the respective privacy policies of the providers.

If you do not want the provider to assign the data collected via our website directly to your profile, you must log out of the corresponding service before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g., with a script blocker.

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the e-mail address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g., e-mail addresses for the members’ area) remain unaffected.

Rights of the Data Subject

You have the right:

pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, to request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you may request information about the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the source of your data if it was not collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about its details;
pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, to request the immediate rectification of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us;
pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims;
pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you oppose its erasure, and we no longer need the data but you require it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR;
pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to request transmission to another controller;
pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR, to revoke at any time the consent you have once given us. This means that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future; and
pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace or our company headquarters.

Right to Object

If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right, pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the processing of your personal data if there are grounds relating to your particular situation, or if the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which will be implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.

If you would like to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send an e-mail to the address specified in the imprint/legal notice.

Data Security

We use the widely used SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser when you visit our website. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognize whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
