General Notice
Pursuant to Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to privacy and to protection against the misuse of their 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 the applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.

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

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security risks. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. In general, this website can be visited without registration. In doing so, data such as the pages accessed, the names of the files accessed, and the date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, in particular your name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your consent.

Processing of Personal Data
Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is a person whose personal data is being processed. Processing encompasses any handling of personal data, regardless of the means or methods used, including, in particular, the collection, disclosure, acquisition, erasure, storage, alteration, destruction, and use of 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 in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(1) of the GDPR:

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one specific purpose or for several specific purposes.
  • Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR) – 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 data subject’s request.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR) – Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  • Protection of vital interests (Art. 6(1)(d) of the GDPR) – Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) – 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.
  • The recruitment process as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR) – To the extent that special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin), in order to enable the controller or the data subject to exercise their rights and fulfill their obligations under labor law and the law on social security and social protection, such processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR, or in the case of the protection of the vital interests of applicants or other persons pursuant to Art. 9(2)(c) GDPR, or for the purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee’s fitness for work, for medical diagnosis, care, or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR. In the case of the provision of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing is carried out on the basis of Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR.

We process personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the relevant purpose or purposes. Where longer retention periods are required due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Applicable Legal Bases
In accordance with Article 13 of the GDPR, we are providing you with the legal bases for our data processing activities. Unless the legal basis is specified in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services, carry out contractual measures, and respond to inquiries is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Article 6(1)(f) of the 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) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.


Security Measures We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access to, input of, and disclosure of the data, ensuring its availability, and maintaining its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects’ rights, the erasure of data, and responses to data breaches. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account from the very beginning of the development and selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and through privacy-friendly default settings.

Transfer of Personal Data
In the course of our processing of personal data, it may occur that data is transferred to or disclosed to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers entrusted with IT tasks or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, enter into appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to ensure the protection of your data.

Data Processing in Third Countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or if processing takes place in connection with the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other individuals, entities, or companies, this is done solely in accordance with legal requirements.

Subject to explicit consent or a transfer required by contract or law, we process data in third countries only if they have a recognized level of data protection, are bound by contractual obligations through the European Commission’s standard data protection clauses, hold relevant certifications, or have binding internal data protection policies (Art. 44–49 GDPR, EU Commission information page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

Privacy Policy for Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user’s computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online service. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the point at which a video was viewed. We also include other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies under the term “cookies” (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as “user IDs”).

The following types and functions of cookies are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest when a user leaves a website and closes their browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, this allows a user’s login status to be saved or preferred content to be displayed immediately when the user revisits a website. Similarly, users’ interests—which are used for audience measurement or marketing purposes—can be stored in such a cookie.
  • First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us.
  • Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are primarily used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  • Necessary (also: essential or strictly necessary) cookies: Cookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of a website (e.g., to save logins or other user input, or for security reasons).
    Statistics, marketing, and personalization cookies: Furthermore, cookies are generally also used for audience measurement and when a user’s interests or behavior (e.g., viewing certain content, using features, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. This process is also referred to as “tracking,” i.e., tracking users’ potential interests. To the extent that we use cookies or “tracking” technologies, we will inform you separately in our Privacy Policy or when obtaining your consent.

Information on Legal Bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is your explicit consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., in the business operation of our online offering and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we provide you with specific information regarding the storage period of persistent cookies (e.g., as part of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period may be up to two years.

General Information on Withdrawal of Consent and Objection (Opt-Out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal authorization, you have the option at any time to withdraw any consent you have given or to object to the processing of your data through cookie technologies (collectively referred to as “opt-out”). You can initially express your objection through your browser settings, e.g., by disabling the use of cookies (although this may also limit the functionality of our online offering). Objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be expressed through a variety of services, particularly in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can find further information on how to object in the details provided regarding the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management system through which users can provide, manage, and revoke their consent to the use of cookies, as well as to the processing activities and providers specified within the cookie consent management system. In this context, the declaration of consent is stored so that the request does not have to be repeated and so that consent can be demonstrated in accordance with legal obligations. Storage may occur on the server side and/or in a cookie (a so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) to enable the assignment of consent to a user or their device. Subject to specific information provided by cookie management service providers, the following applies: The duration of consent storage may be up to two years. In this process, a pseudonymous user identifier is generated and stored along with the time of consent, details regarding the scope of consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system, and device used.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g., websites visited, content interests, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
  • Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).


Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be intercepted by third parties.

Privacy Policy for Server Log Files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the connecting computer
  • Time of the server request

This data cannot be linked to specific individuals. We do not combine this data with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data at a later date if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

Third-party services
This website may use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.

These services provided by the U.S.-based company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the United States; however, we do not believe that this involves any personal tracking based solely on the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield frameworks.

For more information, please see Google's Privacy Policy.
