The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously.

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

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (z.B, for example, when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

In the process, data such as accessed pages or the names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, particularly name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Without your consent, no data will be shared with third parties.

 

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data are all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is being processed.Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, particularly the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, we process – to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable – personal data based on the following legal grounds in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:

• lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
• lit. b) Processing of personal data for the fulfillment of a contract with the data subject as well as for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
• lit.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 where the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
• lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
• lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights as well as the interests of the data subject do not outweigh them. Legitimate interests include, 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 as long as 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.
