General Remark
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of these sites 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 data protection declaration.
In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or forgery.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating via email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from 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. Data such as pages accessed or the name of the file accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to you personally. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, is 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 is all information that relates to a specific 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 the storage, disclosure, procurement, 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 to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR:
We process personal data for the period necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. If retention obligations last longer due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we will restrict processing accordingly.
Relevant Legal Bases
In accordance with Article 13 GDPR, we will inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not stated in the data protection declaration, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a and Article 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and implement contractual measures as well 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 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Safety Measures
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs, and the type, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transfer, securing availability, and their separation. We have also set up procedures to ensure that the rights of those affected are exercised, data are deleted, and responses are made to data threats. We also take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.
