General Note

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

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as much as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or forgery.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data according to the description below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages called up or the name of the retrieved file, 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, is collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Without your consent, this data will not be passed on to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is all 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 storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, storage, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

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

• Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. a GDPR) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data relating to him or her for one or more specific purposes.
• Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. b GDPR) - The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject's request.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. c GDPR) - The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
• Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. d GDPR) - The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 clause 1 lit. f GDPR) - The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

Relevant Legal Bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal bases of our data processing. Unless the legal basis in the data protection declaration is mentioned, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consents is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing for the performance of our services and the execution of contractual measures as well as answering inquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill 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. In the case that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security Measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, considering the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing as well as the different likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure an appropriate level of security.

The measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as related access, input, transfer, ensuring availability, and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data, and response to data threats. Moreover, we already consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, according to the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings.

Transmission of Personal Data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it happens that the data is transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons, or that they are disclosed to them. The recipients of this data may include, for example, payment institutions or service providers tasked with IT tasks. In such cases, we observe the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude corresponding contracts or agreements, which serve the protection of 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 this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transmission of data to other persons, bodies, or companies, this only takes place in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transmission, we process or let the data be processed only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR).
