General Notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to protection of their 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 the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect our databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may involve security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties 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 pages accessed or names of files retrieved, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Without your consent, no data is passed on to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is any 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 procedures used, in particular storing, disclosing, acquiring, deleting, saving, modifying, destroying and using personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) — the data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.

Contract performance and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) — processing is necessary 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.

Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR) — processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR) — processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. 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 procedures as pre-contractual or contractual relationships (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR) — insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are requested from applicants in the course of the application procedure so that the controller or the data subject can exercise rights or fulfil obligations arising from labour law and the law on social security and social protection, their processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR; in the case of the protection of vital interests of applicants or other persons pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c GDPR; or for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, assessment of the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment or the management of health or social care systems and services pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h GDPR. In the case of communication of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR.

We process personal data for the period required for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer retention obligations arising from statutory and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Applicable Legal Bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing. Where the legal basis is not specified in this privacy policy, the following applies: the legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfil our services and carry out contractual measures as well as respond to enquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR; and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Where the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security Measures

In accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include in particular ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to data as well as access, input, disclosure, security of availability and separation of data. We have also established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, the deletion of data and responses to data security threats. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account at an early stage in the development and selection of hardware, software and processes, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

Transfer of Personal Data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that data is transferred to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and in particular conclude appropriate contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

Data Processing in Third Countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or if processing takes place in the context of using third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this is only done in accordance with legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we only process data in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR; information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en).

Cookie Policy

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online service. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart or the point at which a video was watched. We also include in the term cookies other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g. when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as "user IDs").

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online service and closed their browser.

Permanent cookies: permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. The interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes, can also be stored in such a cookie.

First-party cookies: first-party cookies are set by us.

Third-party cookies: third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers to process user information.

Necessary cookies: cookies may be essential for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user inputs or for security reasons).

Statistics, marketing and personalisation cookies: cookies are also regularly used for reach measurement and when the interests of a user or their behaviour (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests, for example. This process is also referred to as "tracking". Insofar as we use cookies or tracking technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or in the context of obtaining consent.

Notes on legal bases: the legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If this applies and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for the processing of your data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the commercial operation of our online service and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

Storage period: unless we provide you with explicit information on the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g. in the context of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period can be up to two years.

General notices on revocation and objection (opt-out): regardless of whether processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to object to the processing of your data using cookie technologies (referred to collectively as "opt-out"). You can initially declare your objection by means of your browser settings, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (which may also restrict the functionality of our online service). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via a number of services, particularly in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can receive further objection notices in the context of the information on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: we use a cookie consent management procedure in which the consent of users to the use of cookies, or the processing and providers referred to in the cookie consent management procedure, can be obtained and managed and revoked by users. The consent declaration is stored so that the query does not have to be repeated and the consent can be proven in accordance with the legal obligation. Storage can take place server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information on the providers of cookie management services, the following notices apply: the duration of storage of consent can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored together with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) and the browser, system and end device used.

Processed data types: usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses). Data subjects: users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services). Legal bases: consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

Third-Party Services

This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services of the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result data is transferred to Google in the USA, whereby we assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website in this context.

Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the American-European and American-Swiss Privacy Shield.

Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

Contact Form Privacy Policy

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Facebook Privacy Policy

This website uses functions of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you access our pages with Facebook plug-ins, a connection is established between your browser and the servers of Facebook. Data is already transmitted to Facebook in this process. If you have a Facebook account, this data can be linked to it. If you do not want this data to be associated with your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our site. Interactions, in particular the use of a comment function or clicking a "Like" or "Share" button, are also passed on to Facebook. For more information, please visit https://en-gb.facebook.com/about/privacy.

LinkedIn Privacy Policy

We use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland ("LinkedIn") within our online service.

These use cookies, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer. This enables us to analyse your use of the website. For example, we can measure the success of our advertisements and show users products in which they have previously shown interest.

Information such as the operating system, the browser, the previously visited website (referrer URL), which websites the user visited, which offers the user clicked on, and the date and time of your visit to our website are collected in this way.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted in pseudonymised form to a LinkedIn server in the USA and stored there. LinkedIn therefore does not store the name or email address of the respective user. Rather, the above-mentioned data is only assigned to the person for whom the cookie was generated. This does not apply if the user has allowed LinkedIn to process data without pseudonymisation or has a LinkedIn account.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also object to the use of your data directly with LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

We use LinkedIn Analytics to analyse and continuously improve the use of our website. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. All LinkedIn companies have adopted the standard contractual clauses to ensure that the data traffic to the USA and Singapore necessary for the development, implementation and maintenance of the services takes place in a lawful manner. Insofar as we ask users for consent, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the use of LinkedIn Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Information from the third-party provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; user agreement and privacy policy.

YouTube Privacy Policy

This website incorporates functions of the service "YouTube". "YouTube" belongs to Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and "YouTube" regarding your use of the services. Google's privacy policy explains how "YouTube" handles and protects your personal data when you use the service.
