**General**

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal information confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as the pages accessed or the names of files accessed, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, such as names, addresses, or email addresses, are collected, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent.

**Processing of Personal Data**

Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. An affected person is a person through whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular, the storage, transmission, acquisition, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(1) GDPR:

- lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
- lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
- lit. c) Processing of personal data for the performance of a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU or national law in the EU country where the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.
- lit. d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
- lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject override. Our legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. For long-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
