2.2 Legal bases

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the Ordinance on Data Protection (Data Protection Ordinance, DSV).

We process – where and to the extent that the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – personal data in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:

  • Article. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the processing of personal data required to fulfil a contract with the data subject and to carry out pre-contractual measures.
  • Article. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the processing of personal data required to safeguard legitimate interests – including those of third parties – provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject do not override. Such interests include, in particular, the permanent, people-friendly, secure and reliable performance of our activities and operations, ensuring information security, protection against misuse, asserting our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.
  • Article. 6(1)(c) GDPR for the processing of personal data required to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of Member States in the European Economic Area (EEA).

3. Type, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data

We process those personal data that are required in order to be able to carry out our activities and operations permanently, people-friendly, securely and reliably. The processed personal data may in particular fall into the categories of browser and device data, content data, communication data, metadata, usage data, master data including inventory and contact data, location data, transaction data, contract data and payment data. Furthermore, the personal data may represent special categories of personal data requiring special protection.

We also process personal data that we obtain from third parties, source from publicly accessible sources or collect when carrying out our activities and operations, insofar as such processing is permitted.

We process personal data to the extent required with consent of the data subject. In many cases, we can process personal data without consent, for example in order to fulfil legal obligations or to safeguard overriding interests. We can also request the data subject’s consent if their consent is not required.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose. We anonymize or delete personal data in particular depending on statutory retention periods and limitation periods.

4. Disclosure of personal data

We may disclose personal data to third parties, have them processed by third parties or process them together with third parties. Such third parties may include, for example, specialized providers whose services we use. Such third parties may in turn disclose personal data to other third parties.

In the context of our activities and operations, we may disclose personal data in particular to banks and other financial service providers, authorities, educational and research institutions, consultants and lawyers, accounting and fiduciary service providers, debt collection companies, interest representatives, IT service providers, cooperation partners, credit and financial information agencies, logistics and shipping companies, marketing and advertising agencies, media, parent, sister and subsidiary companies, organizations and associations, social institutions, telecommunications companies, insurers and payment service providers.

5. Communication

We process personal data in order to communicate with individual persons as well as with authorities, organizations and companies. In doing so, we in particular process data that a data subject provides to us when making contact, for example by postal mail or email. We may store such data in an address book or with comparable aids.

Third parties who transmit data to us about other people are legally required to ensure data protection for these data subjects independently. In particular, they must ensure that they are allowed to transmit such data, but also that the transmitted data is accurate.

We use selected services from suitable providers in order to enable and improve communication with individual persons and other communication partners. With such services, we can also manage the data of the data subjects beyond direct communication and process them otherwise, for example in connection with orders, services, projects and resource planning.

6. Applications

We process personal data about applicants to the extent that it is required to assess suitability for an employment relationship or for the later performance of an employment contract. The required personal data result in particular from the information requested, for example as part of a job advertisement. We may publish job advertisements with the help of suitable third parties, for example in electronic and printed media or at job portals and job platforms.

We also process those personal data that applicants voluntarily provide or publish, in particular as part of cover letters, CVs and other application documents as well as as part of online profiles.

We process – where and to the extent the GDPR is applicable – personal data about applicants in particular in accordance with Article. 9(2)(b) GDPR.

7. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. With our measures, we in particular ensure the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the processed personal data, without being able to guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our website and our other digital presence is carried out using transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated as HTTPS). Most browsers warn against visiting a website without transport encryption.

Our digital communications are subject – like in principle any digital communication – to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We have no direct influence over the corresponding processing of personal data by intelligence services, police authorities and other security authorities. We also cannot rule out that a data subject is specifically monitored.

8. Personal data outside the country

We process personal data in principle in Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, we may also export or transfer personal data to other states, in particular in order to process them there or have them processed.

We can export personal data to all countries on Earth and elsewhere in the Universe if the law there ensures adequate data protection according to a decision of the Swiss Federal Council and – where and to the extent the GDPR is applicable – also according to a decision of the European Commission.

We may transfer personal data to states whose law does not ensure adequate data protection if data protection is ensured for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable safeguards. As an exception, we may export personal data to states without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection legal requirements are met, for example the explicit consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract. Upon request, we will be happy to provide data subjects with information about possible safeguards or provide a copy of possible safeguards.

9. Rights of data subjects

9.1 Claims under data protection law

We grant data subjects all claims under the applicable law. In particular, data subjects have the following rights:

  • Information:  Data subjects may request information as to whether we process personal data about them and, if so, what personal data it concerns. Data subjects are also provided with the information required in order to assert their claims under data protection law and to ensure transparency. This includes the processed personal data as such, but among other things also information on the processing purpose, the retention period, any disclosure and/or any export of data to other states and the origin of the personal data.
  • Correction and restriction:  Data subjects may request that inaccurate personal data be corrected, that incomplete data be completed and that processing of their data be restricted.
  • Option for one’s own position and human review:  Where decisions are based exclusively on automated processing of personal data and have legal effects for them or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions), data subjects may present their own position and request review by a human being.
  • Deletion and objection:  Data subjects may have personal data deleted (“right to be forgotten”) and may object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data portability and transfer of data:  Data subjects may request the provision of their personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.

We may postpone, restrict or refuse the exercise of the rights of data subjects within the legally permissible scope. We may inform data subjects of any requirements that must be met in order to exercise their data protection rights. For example, we may refuse information in whole or in part by referring to confidentiality obligations, overriding interests or the protection of other persons. For example, we may also refuse deletion of personal data, in particular by referring to statutory retention obligations, in whole or in part.

We may, exceptionally, provide costs for the exercise of the rights as applicable. We inform data subjects in advance about any costs.

We are obliged to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights by means of appropriate measures. Data subjects are required to cooperate.

9.2 Legal remedies

Data subjects have the right to enforce their claims under data protection law by legal action or to file a complaint or report with a data protection supervisory authority.

The data protection supervisory authority for private controllers and federal bodies in Switzerland is the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (FCDP).

European data protection supervisory authorities are organized as members in the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). In some Member States in the European Economic Area (EEA) the data protection supervisory authorities are structured federally, in particular in Germany.

10. Use of the website

10.1 Cookies

We may use cookies. With cookies – both our own cookies (first-party cookies) and cookies from third parties whose services we use (third-party cookies) – these are data stored in the browser. Such stored data does not have to be limited to traditional cookies in text form.

Cookies may be stored in the browser temporarily as “session cookies” or for a specific period as so-called persistent cookies. “Session cookies” are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies have a specific retention period. Cookies enable, in particular, a browser to be recognized again during your next visit to our website and thereby for example to measure the reach of our website. However, persistent cookies can also be used for online marketing.

Cookies can be disabled, limited or deleted completely or partially at any time in the browser settings. Browser settings often also enable automated deletion and other management of cookies. Without cookies, our website may no longer be available in full scope. We request – at least insofar as and to the extent required under the applicable law – the explicit consent to the use of cookies.

For cookies used for success and reach measurement or for advertising, for many services a general objection (“opt-out”) is possible via the AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance)or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).

10.2 Logging

For each access to our website and our other digital presence we may at least log the following information, insofar as it is collected or transmitted to our digital infrastructure as standard in such accesses: date and time including time zone, IP address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, the individual subpage of our website accessed including transferred data volume, the webpage last accessed in the same browser window (referer or referrer).

We log such information, which may also constitute personal data, in log files. The information is required in order for us to provide our digital presence permanently, people-friendly and reliably. The information is also required to be able to ensure data security – including by third parties or with the help of third parties.

10.3 Counting pixels

We may embed counting pixels into our digital presence. Counting pixels are also referred to as web beacons. With counting pixels – including those from third parties whose services we use – these are typically small, not visible images or scripts written in JavaScript that are automatically retrieved when accessing our digital presence. With counting pixels, at least the same information as with logging in log files can be collected.

11. Notifications and messages

11.1 Success and reach measurement

Notifications and messages may contain web links or counting pixels that record whether an individual message was opened and which web links were clicked. Such web links and counting pixels can also record the use of notifications and messages in a person-related manner. We need this statistical recording of usage for success and reach measurement in order to be able to send notifications and messages effectively and people-friendly as well as permanently, securely and reliably according to the needs and reading habits of the recipients.

11.2 Consent and objection

You must in principle consent to the use of your email address and your other contact details, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. For obtaining any double-confirmed consent, we can use the “double opt-in” process. In this case, you will receive a message with instructions for double confirmation. We can log obtained consents including IP address and timestamp for evidentiary and security reasons.

You can in principle object at any time to receiving notifications and messages such as newsletters. With such an objection, you can simultaneously object to the statistical recording of usage for success and reach measurement. Notifications and messages required in connection with our activities and operations remain reserved.

12. Social Media

We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to communicate with interested persons and to inform them about our activities and operations. In connection with such platforms, personal data may also be processed outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA).

The respective General Terms and Conditions (AGB) and terms of use as well as privacy policies and other provisions of the respective operators of such platforms apply in each case. These provisions inform in particular about the rights of data subjects directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, which includes, for example, the right to information.

13. Services of third parties

We use services from specialized third parties in order to be able to carry out our activities and operations permanently, people-friendly, securely and reliably. With such services, we can embed functions and content into our website, among other things. In the event of such embedding, the services used, for technically necessary reasons, collect at least temporarily the IP addresses of users.

For necessary security-related, statistical and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data in connection with our activities and operations in an aggregated, anonymized or pseudonymized manner. These are for example performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.

In particular, we use:

13.1 Digital infrastructure

We use services from specialized third parties in order to be able to access the required digital infrastructure in connection with our activities and operations. This includes, for example, hosting and storage services from selected providers.

In particular, we use:

  • WordPress.com: Website builder; Providers: Automattic Inc. (USA) / Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd. (Ireland) for users in particular in Europe; Information on data protection: privacy policy, Cookie Policy.

13.2 Online collaboration

We use services of third parties to enable online collaboration. In addition to this privacy policy, any conditions directly visible for the services used also apply, such as terms of use or privacy policies.

In particular, we use:

13.3 Advertising

We use the option to have targeted advertising by third parties such as social media platforms and search engines displayed for our activities and operations.

With such advertising, we aim in particular to reach people who are already interested in our activities and operations or might become interested (remarketing and targeting). For this purpose, we may transmit relevant – possibly also person-related information to third parties that enable such advertising. We can also determine whether our advertising is successful, that is in particular whether it leads to visits to our website (conversion tracking).

Third parties where we advertise and where you are logged in as a user may possibly associate the use of our website with your profile there.

In particular, we use:

14. Extensions for the website

We use extensions for our website in order to use additional functions. We may use selected services from suitable providers or use such extensions on our own digital infrastructure.

In particular, we use:

15. Video surveillance

We use video surveillance for the prevention of criminal offences, to secure evidence in the event of criminal offences, to exercise and enforce our own legal claims, to defend against others’ legal claims and to exercise our right of ownership of the premises. In doing so – where and to the extent that the GDPR is applicable – this concerns overriding legitimate interests in accordance with Article. 6(1)(f) GDPR, and for personal data requiring special protection with reference to Article. 9(2)(f) GDPR.

We in principle store no recordings from our video surveillance. We may exceptionally store recordings if necessary for the limited period if the storage is required for evidence securing or another specified purpose.

We may secure recordings from our video surveillance and transmit them to competent authorities such as in particular courts or criminal prosecution authorities, provided that the transmission is required for a specified purpose, in our other overriding legitimate interest or due to statutory obligations.

16. Final notes on the privacy policy

We created this privacy policy with the Data Protection Generator by Data Protection Partner .

We can update this privacy policy at any time. We will inform you about updates by publishing the respective current privacy policy on our website.
