General Information
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and data protection provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), every individual 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. Your personal data is treated confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect databases as best as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
We must point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access 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. Data such as accessed pages or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, such as name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Without your consent, this data will not be passed on to third parties.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is an individual whose personal data is processed. Processing encompasses any handling of personal data, regardless of the methods and procedures used, including storing, disclosing, retrieving, deleting, saving, modifying, destroying, and using personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and to the extent that the GDPR applies, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds under Article 6(1) GDPR:
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for specific purposes.
• Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
• Legal obligations (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 legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, provided these are not overridden by the interests, rights, or freedoms of the data subject requiring the protection of personal data.
We process personal data only as long as necessary for the respective purpose(s). In the case of statutory or other retention obligations, we restrict processing accordingly.
Relevant Legal Basis
In accordance with Article 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not specified in this privacy policy, the following applies:
​
• The legal basis for obtaining consent is Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 GDPR.
• The legal basis for processing to fulfill our services, execute contractual measures, and respond to inquiries is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
• The legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
• The legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
• If processing is necessary to protect vital interests, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
​Transfer of Personal Data to Third Parties and Countries
If personal data is transferred to third parties or countries outside the EU/EEA, this is done in compliance with legal provisions, such as by utilizing EU Standard Contractual Clauses, certifications, or binding internal data protection rules.
