2. Definitions and legal basis

2.1 Definitions

Data subject: a natural person whose personal data we process.

Personal data: All information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Particularly sensitive personal data: data on trade union, political, religious or ideological views and activities, data on health, privacy , genetic data, biometric data that clearly identify a natural person, data on criminal and administrative sanctions or prosecutions, and data on social assistance measures.

Processing: Any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, for example querying, matching, adapting, archiving, storing , reading, disclosing, obtaining, recording, collecting, deleting, disclosing, organising, storing, modifying, disseminating, linking, destroying and using personal data.

European Economic Area (EEA): Member States of the European Union (EU) as well as the Principality of Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway.

Note: The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) defines the processing of personal data as the processing of personal data and the processing of particularly sensitive personal data as processing of special categories of personal data (Art. 9 GDPR).

2.2 Legal basis

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

We process personal data – insofar as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases:

  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit . b GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfil a contract with the data subject and to carry out pre-contractual measures.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to protect legitimate interests – including the legitimate interests of third parties – provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject do not prevail. Such interests include, in particular, the long-term, humane, secure and reliable performance of our activities and operations, the guarantee of information security, protection against misuse, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under the applicable law of member states in the European Economic Area (EEA).
  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data for the performance of a task in the public interest
  • Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject

  • Art. 9 para. 2 et seq. GDPR for the processing of special categories of personal data, in particular with the consent of the data subjects.

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

We process the personal data that is necessary to enable us to carry out our activities and operations in a sustainable, people-friendly, secure and reliable manner. The personal data processed 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.

We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources or collect in the course of our activities and operations, insofar as such processing is permitted for legal reasons.

We process personal data with the consent of the data subjects, where required. In many cases, we may process personal data without consent, for example to fulfil legal obligations or to protect overriding interests. We may also request the consent of data subjects where consent is not required.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose. We anonymise or delete personal data in particular in accordance with statutory retention and limitation periods.

4. Disclosure of personal data

We may disclose personal data to third parties, have it processed by third parties or process it jointly with third parties. Such third parties are in particular specialised providers whose services we use.

We may disclose personal data to banks and other financial service providers, authorities, educational and research institutions, consultants and lawyers, interest groups, IT service providers, cooperation partners, credit and business information agencies, logistics and shipping companies, marketing and advertising agencies, media, organisations and associations, social institutions, telecommunications companies and insurance companies.

5. Communication

We process personal data in order to be able to communicate with third parties. In this context, we process in particular data that a data subject provides when making contact, for example by letter or e-mail. We may store such data in an address book or with comparable tools.

Third parties who transfer data about other persons are obliged to ensure data protection for such data subjects. To do this, the accuracy of the personal data transferred must be ensured, among other things.

We use selected services from suitable providers to be able to communicate better with third parties.

6. Applications

We process personal data about applicants to the extent that it is necessary to assess their suitability for employment or for the subsequent execution of an employment contract. The required personal data is derived in particular from the information requested, for example in the context of a job advertisement. We may publish job advertisements with the help of suitable third parties, for example in electronic and printed media or on job portals and job platforms.

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

We process – to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – personal data about applicants, in particular in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR.

We can enable applicants to store their details in our talent pool so that we can consider them for future vacancies. We can also use such information to maintain contact and provide information about news. If we assume that an applicant is suitable for a vacancy based on the information provided, we can inform the applicant accordingly.

7. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data security commensurate with the respective risk. In particular, our measures ensure the confidentiality, availability, traceability and integrity of the personal data processed, but without being able to guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our website and our other online presence is provided by means of transport encryption (SSL  ;/ TLS, in particular with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers warn against visiting websites without transport encryption.

Our digital communication is subject – like basically all 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 on the processing of personal data by intelligence services, police forces and other security authorities. We also cannot rule out the possibility that a data subject may be specifically monitored.

8. Personal data abroad

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

We may export personal data to all countries and territories on earth provided that the law there is in accordance with decision of the Swiss Federal Council and – if and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is – also in accordance with the decision of the European Commission – guarantees an adequate level of data protection.

We may transfer personal data to countries whose laws do not ensure an adequate level of data protection, provided that data protection is ensured for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or other suitable guarantees. In exceptional cases, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection requirements are met, for example the express consent of the data subjects or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. We will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees on request or to provide a copy of any guarantees.

9. Rights of data subjects

9.1 Data protection claims

We grant data subjects all rights under the applicable data protection 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 is involved. Data subjects shall also receive the information necessary to assert their data protection rights and to ensure transparency. This includes the personal data processed as such, but also information on the purpose of the processing, the duration of storage, any disclosure or export of data to other countries and the origin of the personal data.
  • Correction and restriction: Data subjects can correct inaccurate personal data, complete incomplete data and restrict the processing of their data.
  • Deletion and objection: Data subjects can have personal data deleted ("right to be forgotten") and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data disclosure and data transfer: Data subjects may request the disclosure of 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 to the extent permitted by law. We may inform data subjects of any conditions that may need to be met in order for them to exercise their data protection rights. For example, we may refuse to provide information in whole or in part on the grounds of business secrets or the protection of other persons. We may also refuse to delete personal data in whole or in part on the grounds of legal retention obligations, for example.

We may, exceptionally, charge a fee for exercising the rights. We will inform the data subject in advance of any costs that may be incurred.

We are obliged to take appropriate measures to identify data subjects who request information or assert other rights. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.

9.2 Legal protection

Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims through the courts or to file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

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

European data protection supervisory authorities – insofar as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – are organised as members of the European Data Protection­Supervisory Authority (EDSA). In some member states of the European Economic Area (EEA), the data protection supervisory authorities have a federal structure, particularly in Germany.

10. Use of the website

10.1 Cookies

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

Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a specific period of time as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage duration. In particular, cookies enable a browser to be recognised again when you next visit our website, thereby measuring the reach of our website, for example. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.

Cookies can be completely or partially deactivated and deleted at any time in the browser settings. Without cookies, our website may no longer be fully available. We actively request – at least to the extent necessary – your express consent to the use of cookies.

For cookies that are used for measuring success and reach or for advertising, a general objection ("opt-out") is possible for numerous services via 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

We may log the following information for each access to our website and our other online presence, provided that this information is transmitted to our digital infrastructure during such access: 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, individual sub-page of our website accessed including amount of data transferred, last website accessed in the same browser window (referrer).

We log such information, which may also constitute personal data, in log files. The information is required in order to be able to provide our online presence in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner. The information is also required in order to be able to ensure data security – also by or with the help of third parties.

10.3 Tracking pixels

We may integrate tracking pixels into our online presence. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels – including those from third parties whose services we use – are usually small, invisible images or scripts formulated in JavaScript that are automatically retrieved when our online presence is accessed. Tracking pixels can be used to collect at least the same information as log files.

11. Notifications and messages

11.1 Performance and reach measurement

Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message has been opened and which web links have been clicked on. Such web links and tracking pixels may also record the use of notifications and messages on a personal basis. We require this statistical recording of usage for the purpose of measuring success and reach in order to be able to send notifications and messages effectively and in a user-friendly manner, as well as in a secure and reliable manner, based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients.

11.2 Consent and objection

You must generally consent to the use of your e-mail address and other contact addresses, unless the use is permissible for other legal reasons. We can use the "double opt-in" procedure to obtain any double-confirmed consent. In this case, you will receive a message with instructions for double confirmation. We may log consent obtained, including IP address and < a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitstempel" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">timestamp for reasons of evidence and security.

You can generally object to receiving notifications and messages such as newsletters at any time. By objecting in this way, you can also object to the statistical recording of usage for the purposes of measuring success and reach. This does not apply to necessary notifications and messages in connection with our activities and operations.

11.3 Service providers for notifications and messages

We send notifications and messages with the help of specialised service providers.

In particular, we use:

12. Social media

We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to communicate with interested persons and to be able to provide information 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 general terms and conditions (GTC), terms of use, data protection declarations and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms also apply. These provisions provide information in particular about the rights of data subjects directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, which includes, for example, the right to information.

We are responsible for our social media presence on Facebook, including the so-called Page Insights, together with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Ireland) – to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is part of the Meta companies (including in the USA). Page Insights provide information on how visitors interact with our Facebook presence. We use Page Insights to provide our social media presence on Facebook in an effective and user-friendly way.

Further information on the nature, scope and purpose of the data processing, information on the rights of data subjects and the contact details of Facebook and its data protection officer can be found in the Facebook privacy policy. We have concluded the so-called "Addendum for Controllers" with Facebook and have thus agreed in particular that Facebook is responsible for ensuring the rights of data subjects. For the so-called Page Insights, the corresponding information can be found on the "Information on Page Insights" page > including «Information on Page Insights Data».

13. Third-party services

We use services from specialised third parties to enable us to carry out our activities and operations in a sustainable, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. These services enable us to embed functions and content in our website, among other things. When such embedding occurs, the services used record the IP addresses of users, at least temporarily, for technical reasons.

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, anonymised or pseudonymised form. This may include, 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 the services of specialised third parties to access the digital infrastructure we require in connection with our activities and operations. This includes, for example, hosting and storage services from selected providers.

In particular, we use:

13.2 Audio and video conferences

We use specialised services for audio and video conferencing to communicate online. For example, we can hold virtual meetings or conduct online lessons and webinars. For participation in audio and video conferences, the legal texts of the individual services, such as data protection declarations and terms of use, apply in addition.

We recommend that you mute the microphone and blur the background or use a virtual background when participating in audio or video conferences, depending on your situation in life.

We use in particular:

13.3 Online collaboration

We use third-party services to enable online collaboration. In addition to this data protection declaration, the terms and conditions of the services used, such as terms of use or data protection declarations, also apply where these are directly apparent.

In particular, we use:

13.4 Social media functions and social media content

We use third-party services and plugins to embed functions and content from social media platforms and to enable content to be shared on social media platforms and in other ways.

In particular, we use:

13.5 Map material

We use third-party services to embed maps in our website.

In particular, we use:

13.6 Digital audio and video content

We use services from specialised third parties to enable the direct playback of digital audio and video content such as music or podcasts.

In particular, we use:

13.7 Fonts

We use third-party services to embed selected fonts, icons, logos and symbols in our website.

In particular, we use:

13.8 Advertising

We use the option of embedding third-party advertising – in principle in return for compensation – in our website or displaying it elsewhere on our website. Third parties whose advertising is embedded in our website and with whom you are registered as a user may be able to associate your use of our website with your profile there.

14. Website extensions

We use extensions for our website to enable us to use additional functions. We can use selected services from suitable providers or use such extensions on our own digital infrastructure.

In particular, we use:

  • Google reCAPTCHA: spam protection (distinguishing between desired content from humans and undesired content from bots and spam); provider: Google; Google reCAPTCHA-specific information: "What is reCAPTCHA?".

15. Success and reach measurement

We try to measure the success and reach of our activities and operations. In this context, we can also measure the impact of third-party references or check how different parts or versions of our online offering are used ("A/B test" method). Based on the results of the success and reach measurement, we can, in particular, correct errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements.

In most cases, the IP addresses of individual users are recorded for the purpose of measuring success and reach. In this case, IP addresses are always shortened ("IP masking") in order to follow the principle of data economy through the corresponding pseudonymisation.

Cookies may be used to measure success and reach, and user profiles may be created. Any user profiles created may include, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the – at least approximate – location. In principle, any user profiles created are pseudonymised and not used to identify individual users. Individual third-party services for which users are registered may be able to associate the use of our online offering with the user account or user profile for the respective service.

In particular, we use:

16. Video surveillance

We use video surveillance to prevent criminal offences, to secure evidence in the event of criminal offences, to exercise and assert our own legal claims, to defend ourselves against third-party legal claims and to exercise our domiciliary rights. This is – provided and to the extent that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable – a matter of overriding legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para.  ;1 lit. f GDPR, with reference to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. f GDPR for particularly sensitive personal data.

We store recordings from our video surveillance for as long as they are required for the preservation of evidence or for any other stated purpose.

We may save recordings from our video surveillance and transmit them to the responsible authorities, in particular to the courts or law enforcement agencies, provided that the transmission is necessary for a stated purpose, in our other legitimate overriding interest or due to legal obligations.

17. Final provisions

We have created this data protection declaration using the data protection generator from Datenschutz­partner.

We may amend and supplement this data protection declaration at any time. We will provide information about such amendments and supplements in an appropriate manner, in particular by publishing the current data protection declaration on our website.
