2. Terms and legal bases

2.1 Terms

  • Data subject: natural person about whom we process personal data.
  • Personal data: all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  • Sensitive personal data: data on trade union, political, religious or ideological views and activities, data on health, the intimate sphere or affiliation to an ethnicity or race, genetic data, biometric data that uniquely identify a natural person, data on criminal and administrative sanctions or prosecutions, and data on social assistance measures.
  • Processing: any handling of personal data, irrespective of the means and procedures applied, for example querying, matching, adapting, archiving, retaining, reading out, disclosing, obtaining, recording, collecting, erasing, revealing, arranging, organising, storing, altering, disseminating, linking, destroying and using personal data.

2.2 Legal bases

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

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

We process the personal data that are necessary in order to be able to carry out our activities on a lasting, people-friendly, secure and reliable basis. 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. The personal data may furthermore constitute sensitive personal 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, insofar as such processing is permissible.

Where necessary, we process personal data with the consent of the data subjects. In many cases we may process personal data without consent, for example in order to comply with legal obligations or to safeguard overriding interests. We may also ask data subjects for their consent where their consent is not required.

We process personal data for the period that is necessary for the respective purpose. We anonymise or erase personal data in particular depending on statutory retention and limitation periods.

4. Automation and artificial intelligence (AI)

We may process personal data in an automated manner or use artificial intelligence for the processing of personal data.

We may use profiling in order to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to data subjects in an automated manner. Profiling serves, for example, to analyse or predict interests, behaviour or personal preferences.

We provide information in individual cases about decisions that are based exclusively on automated processing of personal data and that have legal consequences for the data subjects or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions).

5. Disclosure of personal data

We may disclose personal data to third parties, have them processed by third parties or process them jointly with third parties. Such third parties may, for example, be specialised providers whose services we use. Such third parties may in turn disclose personal data to third parties.

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

6. Communication

We process personal data in order to be able to communicate with individual persons as well as with authorities, organisations and companies. In doing so, we process in particular data that a data subject transmits to us when making contact, for example by postal mail or e-mail. We may store such data in an address book or with comparable tools.

Third parties who transmit data about other persons to us are legally obliged to ensure the data protection of those data subjects themselves. In particular, they must ensure that they are permitted to transmit such data, and must also ensure the accuracy of the data transmitted.

7. Applications

We process personal data about applicants insofar as they are necessary for assessing suitability for an employment relationship or for the subsequent performance of an employment contract. The necessary personal data result 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 employment platforms.

We furthermore process the personal data that applicants communicate or publish voluntarily, in particular as part of cover letters, curricula vitae and other application documents as well as as part of online profiles.

8. Data security

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

Access to our website and our other digital presence takes place by means of transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers warn before visiting a website without transport encryption.

Our digital communication is subject, as is in principle all digital communication, to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion by security authorities in Switzerland, in the rest of Europe, in the United States of America (USA) and in other countries. We cannot exert any direct influence on the corresponding processing of personal data by intelligence services, police authorities and other security authorities. Nor can we rule out that a data subject is subject to targeted surveillance.

9. Personal data abroad

We process personal data in principle in Switzerland. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other states, in particular in order to process them there or have them processed there.

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

We may disclose personal data to states whose law does not ensure adequate data protection, provided that suitable data protection is ensured for other reasons, in particular on the basis of standard data protection clauses or with other suitable safeguards. Exceptionally, we may export personal data to states 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 performance of a contract. On request, we are happy to inform data subjects about any safeguards or to provide a copy of safeguards.

10. Rights of data subjects

10.1 Data protection claims

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

  • Information: data subjects may request information as to whether we process personal data about them and, if so, which personal data are involved. Data subjects furthermore receive the information that is necessary in order to assert their data protection claims and to ensure transparency. This includes the personal data processed as such, but also, among other things, details of the purpose of processing, the retention period, any disclosure or export of data to other states and the origin of the personal data.
  • Rectification and restriction: data subjects may have inaccurate personal data rectified, incomplete data completed and the processing of their data restricted.
  • Opportunity to state their own position and human review: in the case of decisions that are based exclusively on automated processing of personal data and that have legal consequences for them or significantly affect them (automated individual decisions), data subjects may state their own position and request a review by a human being.
  • Erasure and objection: data subjects may have personal data erased («right to be forgotten») and object to the processing of their data with effect for the future.
  • Data release and data transfer: data subjects may request the release of personal data or the transfer of their data to another controller.

We may defer, restrict or refuse the exercise of the rights of data subjects within the legally permissible scope. We may point out to data subjects any conditions to be met for the exercise of their data protection claims. For example, we may refuse information in whole or in part with reference to confidentiality obligations, overriding interests or the protection of other persons. For example, we may also refuse the erasure of personal data in whole or in part, in particular with reference to statutory retention obligations.

Exceptionally, we may provide for costs for the exercise of the rights. 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 obliged to cooperate.

10.2 Legal protection

Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection claims by legal action or to file a report or 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), https://www.edoeb.admin.ch.

11. Use of the website

11.1 Cookies

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

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

Cookies can be deactivated, restricted or deleted in whole or in part at any time in the browser settings. The browser settings often also allow automated deletion and other management of cookies. Without cookies, our website may no longer be available in full. We actively request express consent to the use of cookies, at least if and to the extent required under applicable law.

For cookies used for the measurement of success and reach or for advertising, a general objection («opt-out») is possible for numerous services via AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada, https://youradchoices.ca), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI, https://optout.networkadvertising.org), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance, https://optout.aboutads.info) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA, https://www.youronlinechoices.com).

11.2 Logging

For every access to our website and our other digital presence we may log at least the following details, provided that these are determined or transmitted to our digital infrastructure by default on 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, the individual sub-page of our website accessed including the volume of data transmitted, the web page last accessed in the same browser window (referer or referrer).

We log such details, which may also constitute personal data, in log files. The details are necessary in order to be able to provide our digital presence on a lasting, people-friendly and reliable basis. The details are furthermore necessary in order to be able to ensure data security, including by third parties or with the help of third parties.

11.3 Tracking pixels

We may embed tracking pixels in our digital presence. Tracking pixels are also referred to as web beacons. Tracking pixels, including those of third parties whose services we use, are usually small, invisible images or scripts formulated in JavaScript that are automatically retrieved on access to our digital presence. Tracking pixels can capture at least the same details as logging in log files.

12. Social media

We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to be able to communicate with interested persons and to provide information about our activities. 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 privacy policies and other provisions of the individual operators of such platforms also 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. Third-party services

We use services of specialised third parties in order to be able to carry out our activities on a lasting, people-friendly, secure and reliable basis. With such services we can, among other things, embed functions and content in our website. With such embedding, the services used capture, for technically imperative reasons, 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 in aggregated, anonymised or pseudonymised form. This concerns, for example, performance or usage data in order to be able to offer the respective service.

We use in particular:

  • Services of Google: providers: Google LLC (USA) / Google Ireland Limited (Ireland) in part for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and in Switzerland; privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
  • Services of Microsoft: providers: Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (Ireland) for users in the European Economic Area (EEA), in Switzerland and in the United Kingdom / Microsoft Corporation (USA) for users in the rest of the world; privacy statement: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ch/privacy/privacystatement

Digital infrastructure

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

We use in particular:

14. Extensions for the website

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

We use in particular:

  • Google reCAPTCHA: bot protection (distinguishing between desired activities of humans and undesired activities of bots); provider: Google; further information: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha

15. Measurement of success and reach

We try to measure the success and reach of our activities. In this context we may also measure the effect of references by third parties or examine how different parts or versions of our digital presence are used («A/B test» method). On the basis of the results of the measurement of success and reach we can in particular fix errors, strengthen popular content or make improvements.

For the measurement of success and reach, the IP addresses of individual users are captured in most cases. In this case IP addresses are in principle truncated («IP masking») in order to follow the principle of data minimisation through the corresponding pseudonymisation.

Cookies may be used and user profiles created in the measurement of success and reach. Any user profiles created comprise, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our digital presence, details of the size of the screen or the browser window and the at least approximate location. In principle, any user profiles are created exclusively in pseudonymised form and are not used to identify individual users. Individual services of third parties at which users are logged in may, where applicable, attribute the use of our online offering to the user account or user profile at the respective service.

We use in particular:

  • Google Marketing Platform: measurement of success and reach, in particular with Google Analytics; provider: Google; measurement also across different browsers and devices (cross-device tracking) with pseudonymised IP addresses that are transmitted in full to Google in the USA only exceptionally; privacy policy for Google Analytics: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245; browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Google Tag Manager: integration and management of services of Google and third parties, in particular for the measurement of success and reach; provider: Google; privacy policy for Google Tag Manager: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/9323295
