General Notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), every person is entitled 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 as confidential and in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect databases as effectively as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by 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. In this context, data such as pages accessed or the name of the retrieved file, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly linked to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis where possible. No data is passed on to third parties without your consent.
 

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data refers to any 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 procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, collection, deletion, saving, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, where and insofar as the GDPR applies, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds pursuant to Art. 6(1) GDPR:

(a) processing based on the data subject’s consent
(b) processing for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for pre-contractual measures
(c) processing for compliance with a legal obligation under EU law or the law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part
(d) processing to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person
(f) processing to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override these interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in providing our website, information security, enforcement of legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law

We process personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose(s). Where statutory or other retention obligations apply, we restrict processing accordingly.
