General Information Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to privacy protection 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. 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 the pages accessed or the name of the accessed file, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to your person. Personal data, especially name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis as much as possible. No data will be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, especially the storage, sharing, acquisition, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Act. Furthermore, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR - insofar as and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable:

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) – The data subject has given their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for one or more specific purposes.

Contract fulfillment and pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) – The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.

Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 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 sentence 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 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) – The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by 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.

Application process as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR) – Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (e.g., health data such as disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants during the application process so that the data controller or the data subject can fulfill their obligations under labor law and the Data Protection Act. If the data protection officer or the data subject requests data from applicants (e.g., health data such as disability or ethnic origin) so that the data protection officer or the data subject can exercise their labor and social security rights and fulfill their related obligations, the data will be processed in accordance with Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR, in the case of protecting the vital interests of the applicants or other persons in accordance with Art. 9(2)(c) GDPR or for purposes of health care or occupational medicine, for assessing the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR. In the case of the transmission of special data categories based on voluntary consent, the processing is based on Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Relevant Legal Basis In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not specified in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and to carry out contractual measures as well as to respond to inquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
