General Notice
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DPA), every individual has the right to privacy and protection against misuse of personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect databases from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., via email communication) may have security gaps. 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. Data such as pages visited, file names accessed, 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, are collected voluntarily whenever possible. Data is not shared with third parties without your consent.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the methods used, in particular storing, disclosing, obtaining, deleting, saving, modifying, destroying, and using personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, to the extent that the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds (Article 6(1) GDPR):
Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): The data subject has given consent for the processing of personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Contract performance and pre-contractual requests (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or to take pre-contractual measures upon request.
Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): Processing is required to fulfill a legal obligation.
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 controller or a third party, provided the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject do not override them.
Special categories of personal data (e.g., health information) may be processed during application procedures or employment relationships in accordance with Article 9 GDPR. Processing occurs based on consent, legal obligations, vital interests, or for purposes such as occupational health assessment or administration in the health or social sector.
Personal data is processed only for as long as necessary for the relevant purposes. Longer retention periods required by law or other obligations are strictly limited to those purposes.
Legal Basis
Pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If not explicitly stated, the legal basis is as follows:

Contractual performance and pre-contractual measures: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR
Legal obligations: Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR

Security Measures
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, and purpose of processing, to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
Measures include securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data, controlling physical and electronic access, and safeguarding against unauthorized access, alteration, or loss. We also implement procedures to enable the exercise of data subject rights, data deletion, and responses to data breaches. Privacy is considered in the development and selection of hardware, software, and processes.
