Data protection

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP), every person has the right to privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect databases as best as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access 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 pages visited, file names accessed, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to your person. Personal data, such as name, address, or email address, is collected voluntarily whenever possible. Without your consent, data will not be passed on to third parties.

Personal data refers to all 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 methods used, in particular the collection, storage, disclosure, modification, deletion, destruction, or use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, insofar as the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds in accordance with Article 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 measures (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.

Application process as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR) – If, during the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (e.g., health data, disability status, or ethnic origin) are requested, so that the controller or the data subject can exercise their rights under employment, social security, and social protection law, processing takes place in accordance with Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR. In the case of voluntary consent to the disclosure of such data, processing is based on Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR.

We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was collected. If longer retention periods are required by legal or other obligations, we restrict processing accordingly.

In accordance with Article 13 of the GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing activities. Unless otherwise specified in this 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 necessary for the performance of our services, the execution of contractual measures, and responses to inquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing necessary for compliance with our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR; and the legal basis for processing necessary to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In cases where processing personal data is required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
