privacy policy

General Notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG), every individual is entitled to the protection of their privacy and protection against the 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 collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the 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., via email communication) can 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 in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. During this visit, data such as pages accessed or names of retrieved files, date, and time may be stored on the server for statistical purposes, without directly linking these data to your identity. Personal data, such as your name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing refers to any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, particularly storing, disclosing, obtaining, deleting, saving, altering, destroying, or using personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, we process personal data—where and insofar as the EU GDPR applies—based on the following legal grounds in connection with Article 6(1) GDPR:

  • (a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

  • (b) Processing of personal data for the fulfilment of a contract with the data subject or for the execution of pre-contractual measures.

  • (c) Processing of personal data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.

  • (d) Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

  • (f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless these are outweighed by the fundamental freedoms, rights, and interests of the data subject. Legitimate interests include our economic interest in providing our website, ensuring information security, enforcing our own legal claims, and complying with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the purpose(s) for which it was collected. Where there are longer retention obligations due to legal or other duties, we restrict the processing accordingly.
