2. Terms and legal bases

2.1 Terms

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject
is a person about whom personal data is processed.

Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures
used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, collection, deletion, storage,
modification, destruction and use of personal data.

2.2 Legal basis

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

3. Nature, scope and purpose

We process those personal data that are necessary to be able to carry out our activities and operations in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. Such personal data may in particular fall into the categories of inventory and contact data, browser and device data, content data, meta or marginal data and usage data, location data, sales data as well as contract and payment data.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose(s) or as required by law. Personal data whose processing is no longer required is anonymised or deleted.

We may have personal data processed by Drine. We may process personal data jointly with third parties or transmit it to third parties. Such third parties are, in particular, specialised providers whose services we use. We also guarantee data protection for such third parties.

We only process personal data with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permitted for other legal reasons. Processing without consent may be permissible, for example, for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for corresponding pre-contractual measures in order to protect our overriding legitimate interests. The applicant must be informed in advance of the processing of the application.

In this context, we process in particular information that a data subject voluntarily provides to us when contacting us – for example, by letter, email, instant messaging, contact form, social media or telephone – or when registering for a user account. We may store such information, for example, in an address book or by similar means. If we receive data about other persons, the transmitting persons are obliged to guarantee data protection vis-à-vis these persons and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.

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

4. Applications

We process personal data about applicants to the extent that it is necessary for assessing their suitability for an employment relationship or for the subsequent performance of an employment contract. The required personal data results in particular from the information requested, for example in the context of a job advertisement. We also process the 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.

5. Personal data abroad

We process personal data in Switzerland as a matter of principle. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other countries, in particular in order to process it or have it processed there.

We may disclose personal data to all states and territories on earth and elsewhere in the universe, provided that the law there guarantees adequate data protection in accordance with a decision of the Swiss Federal Council.

We may disclose personal data to countries whose laws do not guarantee adequate data protection, provided that appropriate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons. Appropriate data protection can, for example, be ensured by appropriate contractual agreements. The data must be guaranteed in accordance with the data protection agreements, on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable guarantees. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or suitable data protection if the special legal data protection requirements are met, for example the express consent of the persons concerned or a direct connection with the conclusion or processing of a contract. We will be happy to provide data subjects with information about any guarantees or a copy of guarantees on request.

6. Rights of data subjects

Data subjects about whom we process personal data have the rights under Swiss data protection law. These include the right to information as well as the right to correction, deletion or blocking of the personal data processed.

Data subjects about whom we process personal data have a right of appeal to a competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

7. Data security

We take suitable technical and organisational measures to ensure data security appropriate to the respective risk. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our website is via transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.

Our digital communication – like in general all digital communication – is subject to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion and other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA) and other countries. We cannot directly influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police agencies and other security authorities.

8. Use of the website

8.1 Cookies

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

Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily as «session cookies» or for a certain period of time as so-called permanent cookies. Session cookies are deleted automatically when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a certain storage period. Cookies make it possible in particular to recognise a browser the next time it visits our website and thus, for example, to measure the reach of our website. Permanent cookies can also be used for online branding, for example.

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

In the case of cookies used for performance and reach measurement 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).

8.2 Server log files

We may collect the following information for each access to our website, provided that this information is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: Date and time including time zone, Internet Protocol (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, website last accessed in the same browser window (referer).

We store such information, which may also constitute personal data, in server log files. The information is required to provide our website in a permanent, user-friendly and reliable manner and to ensure data security and thus in particular the protection of personal data – also by third parties or with the help of third parties.

8.3 Tracking pixels

We may use tracking pixels on our website. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels – also from third parties whose services we use – are small, usually invisible images that are automatically retrieved when you visit our website. With pixel counters, the same information can be collected as in server log files.

9. Notifications and messages

We send notifications and messages via email and other communication channels such as instant messaging or SMS.

9.1 Success and coverage measurement

Notifications and messages may contain web links or tracking pixels that record whether an individual message was opened and which web links were clicked on. Such web links and tracking pixels may also record the use of notifications and messages on a personal basis. We need this statistical recording of usage for performance and coverage measurement in order to be able to send notifications and messages effectively and in a user-friendly manner based on the needs and reading habits of the recipients, as well as permanently, securely and reliably.

9.2 Consent and objection

In principle, you must expressly consent to the use of your e-mail address and other contact addresses, unless the use is permitted for other legal reasons. Wherever possible, we use the «double opt-in» procedure for any consent, i.e. you will receive an e-mail with a web link which you must click to confirm, so that no misuse by unauthorised third parties can take place. We may log such consents, including Internet Protocol (IP) address, date and time, for evidence and security reasons.

In principle, you can object to receiving notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can at the same time object to the statistical recording of use for performance and reach measurement. This is subject to any notifications and communications required in connection with our activities and operations.

9.3 Service provider for notifications and messages

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

We use in particular:

10. 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.

The General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and terms of use as well as data protection declarations and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms also apply in each case. These provisions inform in particular about the rights of affected persons directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, which includes, for example, the right to information.

11. Third party services

We use the services of specialised third parties in order to carry out our activities and operations in a permanent, user-friendly, secure and reliable manner. With such services, we can, among other things, embed functions and content into our website. In the case of such embedding, the services used record the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of the users at least temporarily for technically compelling 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 aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised form. This is, for example, performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.

11.1 Digital infrastructure

We use the services of specialised third parties to provide the digital infrastructure required in connection with our activities and operations. These include, for example, hosting and storage services from selected providers.

We use in particular:

11.2 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 the sharing of content on social media platforms and in other ways.

We use in particular:

11.3 Payments

We use specialised service providers to process our customers’ payments securely and reliably. The legal texts of the individual service providers, such as the General Terms and Conditions (GTC) or data protection declarations, also apply to the processing of payments.

We use in particular:

12. Extensions for the website

We use extensions for our website in order to be able to use additional functions.

We use in particular:

13. Performance and coverage measurement

We use services and programmes to determine how our online offering is used. For example, we may measure the success and reach of our activities and operations and the impact of third party links to our website. We can also, for example, test and compare how different versions of our online offer or parts of our online offer are used («A/B test» method). Based on the results of the performance and coverage measurement, we can in particular correct errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements to our online offer.

When using services and programmes for performance and coverage measurement, the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of individual users must be stored. IP addresses are always shortened («IP masking») in order to follow the principle of data economy through the corresponding pseudonymisation and thus to improve the data protection of users.

When using services and programmes for performance and coverage measurement, cookies may be used and user profiles may be created. User profiles include, for example, the pages visited or content viewed on our website, information on the size of the screen or browser window and the – at least approximate – location. As a matter of principle, user profiles are only created pseudonymously. We do not use user profiles to identify individual users. Individual services of third parties with which users are registered can, if necessary, assign the use of our online services to the user account or user profile of the respective service.

We use in particular:

  • Matomo: performance and coverage measurement; provider: Matomo (free open source software); information on data protection: use on own server infrastructure and with pseudonymised Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, «List of all Matomo Features».

14. Final provisions

We have created this data protection declaration with the data protection generator of the Datenschutzpartner company.

We can adapt and supplement this data protection declaration at any time. We will inform about such adjustments and additions in an appropriate form, in particular by publishing the respective current data protection declaration on our website.
