General notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provision of the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), every person has the right to privacy 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 cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as well as possible from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) can have security gaps. 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 pages accessed or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Without your consent, no data will be passed on to third parties.

Processing of personal data

Personal data includes all 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, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

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

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) - The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (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 a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests of fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data,
Application procedures as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR) - Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR (e.g. health data, such disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants during the application process, so that the controller or the data subject can exercise their rights under labour law and social security and social protection law and fulfil their obligations in this regard, their processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, in the case of protecting of vital interests of the applicants or other persons in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c GDPR, or for purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee's working capacity, 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 para. 2 lit. h GDPR. In the case of voluntary consent-based communication of special categories of data, their processing is based on Art. 9 para. 2 lit. 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.

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific, user-related information on the user's device while they are using the website. Cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyse behaviours of page usage, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be recalled when the site is visited again. If you do not wish this, you should set your Internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the settings of the browser. Please note that not all functions of this online offer may be used if cookies are disabled.

This website uses SSL/TSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. Your can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version.
Operating system used.
Referrer URL.
Hostname of the accessing computer.
Time of the server request.

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. A combination of these data with other data sources is not carried out. We reserve the right to check these data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

Third-party services

This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedded videos.

These services of the American Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transmitted to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the American-European and American-Swiss Privacy Shield.

Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.

The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the deletion of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of its use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing for reasons arising from their particular situation, and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailored website design. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as your right in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found at: Google's privacy policies.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to as "Google".

The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under "My Data", "Personal Data".

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, and a direct personal reference is excluded. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted promptly.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics.

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie will be set on your data carrier, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, meaning you will need to set the opt-out cookies again if you continue preventing this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform representation of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

For more information about Google Web Fonts see https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Notice on data transfer to the USA

Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
