Personal data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Particularly sensitive personal data: Data concerning trade union, political, religious or philosophical opinions and activities, data concerning health, privacy or membership of an ethnic or racial group, genetic data, biometric data uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning criminal or administrative sanctions or prosecutions, and data concerning social assistance measures.

Processing: Any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, such as the retrieval, comparison, adaptation, archiving, storage, reading, disclosure, procurement, collection, collection, deletion, disclosure, arrangement, organization, storage, modification, dissemination, linking, destruction and use of personal data.

2.2 Legal basis

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, DPA) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DPO).

3. nature, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data

We process the personal data required to carry out our activities and operations in a sustainable, humane, secure and reliable manner. The personal data processed may fall into the categories of browser and device data, content data, communication data, metadata, usage data, master data including inventory and contact data, location data, transaction data, contract data and payment data. The personal data may also constitute particularly sensitive personal data.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect in the course of our activities and operations, insofar as such processing is permitted.

Where necessary, we process personal data with the consent of the data subjects. In many cases, we may process personal data without consent, for example to fulfill legal obligations or to protect overriding interests. We may also ask data subjects for their consent if their consent is not required.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose. We anonymize or delete personal data in particular depending on statutory retention and limitation periods.

4. disclosure of personal data

We may disclose personal data to third parties, have it processed by third parties or process it jointly with third parties. Such third parties may be, for example, specialized providers whose services we use.

As part of our activities and operations, we may disclose personal data in particular to banks and other financial service providers, authorities, educational and research institutions, consultants and lawyers, interest groups, IT service providers, cooperation partners, credit and credit agencies, logistics and shipping companies, marketing and advertising agencies, media, parent companies, sister companies and subsidiaries, organizations and associations, social institutions, telecommunications companies, insurance companies and payment service providers.

5. communication

We process personal data in order to communicate with individuals as well as with authorities, organizations and companies. In particular, we process data that a data subject transmits to us when contacting us, for example by post or e-mail. We may store such data in an address book or with comparable tools.

Third parties who transmit data about other persons to us are obliged to independently ensure the data protection of these data subjects. In particular, they must ensure that such data is correct and may be transmitted.

We use selected services from suitable providers to enable and improve communication with individuals and other communication partners. We can also use such services to manage and otherwise process the data of data subjects beyond direct communication.

6. data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. With our measures, we guarantee in particular the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the processed personal data, without being able to guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our website and our other digital presence takes place using transport encryption(SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated to HTTPS). Most browsers warn against visiting a website without transport encryption.

Our digital communication - like all digital communication in general - is subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police forces and other security authorities. Nor can we rule out the possibility that a data subject may be subject to targeted surveillance.

7. personal data abroad

We generally process personal data in Switzerland. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process it or have it processed there.

We may disclose personal data to all countries on earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that the law there guarantees adequate data protection in accordance with the decision of the Swiss Federal Council.

We may disclose personal data to countries whose laws do not guarantee adequate data protection, provided that adequate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable guarantees. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or appropriate data protection if the special requirements under data protection law are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of guarantees.

8. rights of data subjects

8.1 Data protection claims

We grant data subjects all rights in accordance with the applicable law. Data subjects have the following rights in particular:

  • Information: Data subjects can request information as to whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data is involved. Data subjects also receive the information required to assert their data protection claims and ensure transparency. This includes the processed personal data as such, but also information on the purpose of processing, the duration of storage, any disclosure or export of data to other countries and the origin of the personal data.

  • Correction and restriction: Data subjects can have incorrect personal data corrected, incomplete data completed and the processing of their data restricted.

  • Possibility for own point of view and human review: In the case of decisions that are based exclusively on automated processing of personal data and are associated with a legal consequence for them or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions), data subjects can present their own point of view and request a review by a human being.

  • Deletion and objection: Data subjects can have their personal data deleted ("right to be forgotten") and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.

  • Data disclosure and data transfer: Data subjects may request the disclosure of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.

We may defer, restrict or refuse the exercise of the rights of data subjects to the extent permitted by law. We may inform data subjects of any requirements that must be met in order to exercise their rights under data protection law. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part with reference to confidentiality obligations, overriding interests or the protection of other persons. For example, we may also refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part, in particular with reference to statutory retention obligations.

In exceptional cases, we may charge costs for the exercise of rights. We will inform affected persons of any costs in advance.

We are obliged to take appropriate measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.

8.2 Legal protection

Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims by taking legal action or to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

The data protection supervisory authority for private controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

9. use of the website

9.1 Cookies

We may use cookies. Cookies - our own cookies (first-party cookies) as well as cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) - are data that are stored in the browser. Such stored data need not be limited to traditional cookies in text form.

Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage period. In particular, cookies make it possible to recognize a browser the next time it visits our website and thus, for example, to measure the reach of our website. Permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.

Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated, restricted or deleted at any time in the browser settings. The browser settings often also allow automated deletion and other management of cookies. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We actively request your express consent to the use of cookies - at least if and to the extent required by applicable law.

For cookies that are used to measure success and reach or for advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is possible for numerous services via AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).

9.2 Logging

We may log at least the following information for each access to our website and our other digital presence, insofar as this information is transmitted to our digital infrastructure during such accesses: Date and time including time zone, IP address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual subpage of our website accessed including amount of data transferred, last website accessed in the same browser window (referrer).

We record such information, which may also constitute personal data, in log files. The information is required to provide our digital presence in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner. The information is also required to ensure data security - also by third parties or with the help of third parties.

9.3 Tracking pixels

We can integrate tracking pixels into our digital presence. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels - including those from third parties whose services we use - are usually small, invisible images or scripts written in JavaScript that are automatically retrieved when our digital presence is accessed. Tracking pixels can be used to record at least the same information as is recorded in log files.

10. notifications and messages

10.1 Measuring success and reach

Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message has been opened and which web links have been clicked on. Such web links and tracking pixels can also record the use of notifications and messages on a personal basis. We require this statistical recording of usage to measure success and reach in order to be able to send notifications and messages effectively and in a user-friendly, permanent, secure and reliable manner based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients.

10.2 Consent and objection

You must always consent to the use of your e-mail address and your other contact addresses, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. We may use the "double opt-in" procedure to obtain double-confirmed consent. In this case, you will receive a message with instructions for double confirmation. We may log the consent obtained, including the IP address and time stamp, for reasons of proof and security.

You can object to receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time . With such an objection, you can also object to the statistical recording of usage for measuring success and reach. Necessary notifications and communications in connection with our activities and operations remain reserved.

10.3 Service provider for notifications and messages

We send notifications and messages with the help of specialized service providers.

11. social media

We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to communicate with interested parties and provide information about our activities and operations. In connection with such platforms, personal data may also be processed outside Switzerland.

The general terms and conditions (GTC) and terms of use as well as data protection declarations and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms also apply. In particular, these provisions provide information about the rights of data subjects directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, including, for example, the right to information.

12. services of third parties

We use services from specialized third parties in order to be able to carry out our activities and operations in a sustainable, people-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Among other things, we can use such services to embed functions and content in our website. In the case of such embedding, the services used collect the IP addresses of users at least temporarily for technically compelling reasons.

For necessary security, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data in connection with our activities and operations in aggregated, anonymized or pseudonymized form. This is, for example, performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.

We use in particular:

12.1 Digital infrastructure

We use the services of specialized third parties in order to be able to use the necessary digital infrastructure in connection with our activities and operations. These include, for example, hosting and storage services from selected providers.

We use in particular:

12.2 Scheduling

We use the services of specialized third parties to arrange appointments online, for example for meetings. In addition to this privacy policy, any directly visible terms and conditions of the services used, such as terms of use or privacy policies, also apply.

12.3 Audio and video conferences

We use specialized audio and video conferencing services to communicate online. For example, we can use them to hold virtual meetings or conduct online lessons and webinars. When participating in audio and video conferences, the legal texts of the individual services, such as privacy policies and terms of use, also apply.

Depending on your life situation, we recommend muting the microphone by default when participating in audio or video conferences and blurring the background or displaying a virtual background.

12.4 Social media functions and social media content

We use third-party services and plugins to embed functions and content from social media platforms and to enable the sharing of content on social media platforms and in other ways.

We use in particular:

12.5 Card material

We use third-party services to embed maps in our website.

We use in particular:

12.6 Fonts

We use third-party services to embed selected fonts, icons, logos and symbols on our website.

We use in particular:

12.7 Advertising

We use the option of displaying targeted advertising on third parties such as social media platforms and search engines for our activities and operations.

With such advertising, we would particularly like to reach people who are already interested in our activities and operations or who might be interested in them(remarketing and targeting). For this purpose, we may transmit corresponding - possibly also personal - data to third parties that enable such advertising. We can also determine whether our advertising is successful, i.e. in particular whether it leads to visits to our website (conversion tracking).

Third parties with whom we advertise and with whom you are registered as a user may be able to assign the use of our website to your profile there.

13. success and reach measurement

We try to measure the success and reach of our activities and operations. In this context, we can also measure the effect of third-party references or check how different parts or versions of our digital presence are used ("A/B test" method). Based on the results of the success and reach measurement, we can in particular correct errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements.

In most cases, the IP addresses of individual users are recorded to measure success and reach. In this case, IP addresses are generally shortened ("IP masking") in order to comply with the principle of data minimization through the corresponding pseudonymization.

Cookies may be used to measure success and reach and user profiles may be created. Any user profiles created include, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our digital presence, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the - at least approximate - location. In principle, any user profiles are created exclusively in pseudonymized form and are not used to identify individual users. Individual third-party services with which users are registered may be able to assign the use of our online offering to the user account or user profile of the respective service.

14. final notes on the privacy policy

We have created this data protection declaration with the data protection generator of Datenschutzpartner.

We may update this privacy policy at any time. We will inform you about updates in an appropriate form, in particular by publishing the current privacy policy on our website.
