General notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Swiss Data Protection Act [Datenschutzgesetz, DSG]), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle all of your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal requirements and with this data protection statement.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect databases from unauthorised access, data loss, misuse of data, and fraud.

We draw your attention to the fact that there can always be security vulnerabilities when you transmit data via the internet (for example through communication by e-mail). It is not possible to protect data from access by third parties with absolute certainty.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. Anyone can access this website without needing to register. Data such as pages accessed and the names of files accessed, along with the date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, but this data does not make any direct reference to you. Personal data, in particular your name, address, or e-mail address can be gathered from you on a voluntary basis. None of this data will be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data means all data that refers to a particular person or an identifiable person. The data subject is the person whose personal data is being processed. The term ‘processing’ covers almost any kind of handling of personal data, regardless of the methods or procedures used. In particular, it includes the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, saving, alteration, deletion, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection legislation. In all other respects, we process personal data—insofar as and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable—in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6, para. 1 of the GDPR:

• Sub-paragraph a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
• Sub-paragraph b) Processing of personal data 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.
• Sub-paragraph c) Processing of personal data necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject in accordance with applicable EU law or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR fully or partially applies.
• Sub-paragraph d) The processing of personal data necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
• Sub-paragraph f) Processing of personal data necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Legitimate interests include in particular our economic interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the implementation of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.
  

We process personal data for the duration that is necessary for the purpose or purposes in question. Where we are obligated to store data for a longer period due to legal or other obligations to which we are subject, we limit processing accordingly.

Data protection statement for cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible for specific, user-related information to be stored on the user’s terminal device while they are using the website. Cookies make it possible to determine how frequently pages are used and how many people are using them, and to analyse how the pages are used. They also allow us to make our online offering more customer-friendly. Cookies are kept in storage after the end of a browsing session and can be called up again when the page is visited again. If you do not wish this to happen, you should configure your Internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.

It is possible to declare a general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, saving of cookies can be prevented by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that if you do this, you will not be able to use all of the functions of this website.

Data protection statement for SSL Encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and in order to protect any confidential content that is transmitted, such as requests you send to us as a website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the start of the address in the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser address bar.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Data protection statement for the contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and to resolve any follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

Data protection statement for newsletter data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we will need you to provide us with an e-mail address 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 receiving the newsletter. No other data will be collected. We use this data exclusively for the purpose of sending the requested information and we do not pass it on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the e-mail address you provided and the use of these for the purpose of sending the newsletter at any time, for example by using the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

Data protection statement regarding the right to information, deletion, and blocking

At all times, you have the right to free-of-charge information about your stored personal data, about the origin and recipients of the data, and about the purpose of data processing as well as a right to have the data corrected, blocked, or deleted. You can contact us at any time regarding this or other questions on the subject of personal data at the address given in the legal notice.

If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn will be able to associate your visit to our website with your person and with your user account. We wish to draw your attention to the fact that we as the provider of the web pages have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to LinkedIn or of how it is used by LinkedIn.
