General Information

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 privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification. We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) can 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 in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Without your consent, no data will be passed on to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person. An affected person 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 the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

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

a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the affected person.
b) Processing of personal data for the fulfillment of a contract with the affected person and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of the EU or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person.
f) Processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights and interests of the affected person do not prevail. Legitimate interests are 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 process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
