General Notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to privacy protection and protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

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

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. When accessing the site, data such as viewed pages, the name of the retrieved file, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without being directly linked to your person. Personal data, such as name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Without your consent, this data will not be disclosed to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data refers to all information related to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is any individual whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, including storing, disclosing, obtaining, deleting, saving, modifying, destroying, and using personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Where the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds under Article 6 (1) GDPR:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): The data subject has given consent to process their personal data for a specific purpose or multiple specified purposes.
• Contractual Obligations (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or for pre-contractual measures requested by the data subject.
• Legal Obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): Processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject.
• Protection of Vital Interests (Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR): Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
• Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the data controller or a third party, unless these interests are overridden by the rights and freedoms of the data subject.

We process personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purpose. If statutory retention obligations require longer storage, we limit processing accordingly.

Security Measures

We implement technical and organizational security measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of data processing. These measures include:

• Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data
• Controlling access to data physically and electronically
• Implementing procedures for data deletion, breach response, and the enforcement of data subject rights
• Considering data protection when selecting hardware, software, and procedures

Transfer of Personal Data

Personal data may be transferred to third parties such as IT service providers or other companies when legally permitted and necessary for business operations. We take all legal precautions, including signing data processing agreements where required, to ensure data protection.

Data Processing in Third Countries

If we process data in countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), we do so only under the following conditions:

• The country has an adequate level of data protection recognized by the EU
• The data transfer is subject to legally binding standard contractual clauses
• The transfer is based on explicit user consent
