Data protection

General / Introduction

In accordance with Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to privacy and to protection against misuse of their personal data. The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal information very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and this privacy policy.

 

In cooperation with our hosting partners, we make every effort to protect our databases from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or manipulation. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) involves security risks. Complete protection of your data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.

 

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 the pages accessed, the names of the files accessed and the date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this information being directly traceable to you. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address or email addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

 

Processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is therefore a person whose personal data is being processed. Processing includes all types of handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used. This includes, in particular, the storage, transfer, collection, deletion, retention, modification, destruction and use of this data.

 

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of Swiss data protection law. Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, the processing of personal data is additionally based on the following legal grounds in conjunction with Article 6(1) GDPR:

lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.

lit. c) Processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.

lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

 

We only process personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the event of longer-term storage obligations arising from legal or other obligations, we will limit the processing accordingly.

With SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and a lock symbol is displayed in the browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is active, the data you send to us cannot be viewed by third parties.
