1. General Introduction
Pursuant to Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every individual is entitled to the protection of their privacy 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In collaboration with our hosting provider (i.e. WordPress.com), we strive to protect databases against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification to the best of our ability.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties 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 accessed, file names accessed, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to your person. If personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our website, it is done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.
2. Processing of personal data
Personal data refers to any information related to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is an individual whose personal data is processed. Processing encompasses any handling of personal data, regardless of the methods and procedures used, including storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, retention, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in compliance with Swiss data protection law (New Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) (as of 1 September 2023). Where applicable, we also process personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) based on the following legal grounds in conjunction with Article 6(1) GDPR:
• Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
• Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
• Processing of personal data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.
• Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
• Processing of personal data for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in providing our website, ensuring information security, enforcing our legal claims, and complying with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the duration necessary to fulfill the respective purpose or purposes. In cases of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other requirements, we restrict processing accordingly.
