General
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to protection of their privacy as well as protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal 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 alteration.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or names of accessed files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly linked to you personally. As far as personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) are collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis, whenever possible. These data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, in particular the storage, transmission, acquisition, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. To the extent that the EU GDPR applies, we also process personal data based on the following legal grounds in connection with Article 6 (1) GDPR:
lit. a) Processing personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject and to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing personal data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject under EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR applies wholly or partially.
lit. d) Processing personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
lit. f) Processing personal data to protect the legitimate interests of ourselves or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights of the data subject override those interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our commercial interest in providing our website, information security, enforcement of legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In case of longer retention obligations due to legal or other requirements to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
