I. GENERAL
(1) Below, we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website.

(2) The term ‘personal data’ refers, according to the definition of Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereinafter referred to as ‘General Data Protection Regulation’ or ‘GDPR’), to all data that can be related to you personally. This includes, for example, your name, address, email address, and user behavior. For further terminology, particularly the terms ‘processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’, and ‘consent’, we refer to the legal data protection definitions of Art. 4 GDPR.

(3) For situations affecting Switzerland, even if they are initiated outside of Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, hereinafter referred to as ‘FADP’, also applies. However, we consistently use the terms of the GDPR. The terms of the GDPR ‘personal data’, ‘processing’, ‘processor’, ‘special categories of data’, and data portability, insofar as the FADP applies, also include the terms used in the FADP ‘personal details’, ‘processing’, ‘data processor’, ‘data transfer’, and ‘particularly sensitive personal data’. The legal meaning of these terms is determined in these cases by the FADP.

(4) We generally process personal data only as far as it is necessary for providing a functional website and our contents and services. The processing of personal data regularly only takes place if you have given your consent in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR or if processing is permitted by legal regulations, especially by one of the legal grounds mentioned in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) to f) GDPR.

(5) Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by national or European regulations to which we are subject. Blocking or deletion of data takes place in this case when the storage period prescribed by the respective regulations has expired, unless further storage of the data is required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

(6) Insofar as we use commissioned service providers for individual functions of our website or would like to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail about the respective processes below.

II. RESPONSIBLE ENTITY (1) The responsible party in the sense of Article 4(7) of the GDPR, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions with a data protection character is:

V. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA IN THE CASE OF INFORMATIVE USE OF OUR WEBSITE (1) When you visit our website without registering or providing us with information in any other way (‘Informative Use’), we only collect those personal data that your web browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which are technically necessary for us to enable you to view our website and to ensure stability and security: IP address, date and time of the request, time zone difference to GMT, content of the webpage, access status (HTTP status), referring website, web browser, operating system, language, and version of the browser.

(2) The aforementioned data are also stored in so-called log files on our servers. There is no storage of these data together with other personal data of yours.

(3) The collection and temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable the delivery of our website to your device. For this purpose, your IP address must be stored for the duration of your visit to our website.

(4) The storage of the above-mentioned data in log files serves to ensure the functionality and optimization of our website, as well as to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

(5) These data are not used for marketing purposes. The purposes described above constitute our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the collection and temporary storage of the aforementioned data and log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The aforementioned data for the provision of our website are deleted when the respective session is ended. The collection of the aforementioned data for the provision of our website and the storage of this data in log files is mandatory for the operation of our website. There is no possibility of objection.

VI. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA THROUGH COOKIES (1) We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the storage medium of your end device, such as a hard drive, and through which we, as the entity that sets the cookie, receive certain information. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your end device. This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and function of which are explained below.

(2) Cookies that are stored associated with your web browser:

Transient Cookies: These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. This particularly includes session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your web browser can be assigned to the same session. This allows your end device to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you log out or close the web browser. Persistent Cookies: These cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined duration, which can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time in the settings of your web browser. (3) The processing of personal data through the aforementioned cookies serves to make the overall offering of our website more user-friendly and effective. Some features of our website cannot be offered without the use of these cookies. In particular, some functions of our website require that your web browser can be identified even after a page change. If you have an account, we use cookies to identify you for subsequent visits. This avoids the need for you to log in again every time you visit our website. Data processed by cookies necessary for providing the functions of our website are not used to create user profiles. To the extent cookies are used for analysis purposes, they serve to improve the quality and user-friendliness of our website, its content, and functions. They allow us to understand how the website is used, which functions are used and how often. This enables us to continuously optimize our offer.

(4) As far as cookies are not technically essential, we only set them with your prior expressed consent, which you can also revoke at any time. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

(5) The above cookies are stored on your end device and transmitted by it to our server. You can therefore configure the processing of data and information by cookies yourself. You can make appropriate configurations in the settings of your web browser, through which you can, for example, reject third-party cookies or cookies altogether. In this context, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of our website properly. We also recommend that you regularly delete cookies and your browser history manually.

VIII. CONTACTING US
(1) If you contact us by e-mail, the personal data you send us with your e-mail will be stored.

(2) We also have a contact form on our website that you can use to contact us. The data you enter in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored: Title, first name, surname, e-mail address, address, telephone .

(3) The data will only be used to answer your questions. Unless explicitly stated in this privacy policy, the data will not be passed on to third parties. We also record your IP address and the time of sending.

(4) The processing of the above personal data is solely for the purpose of processing your enquiry.

(5) The processing of other personal data collected through the use of the contact form on our website serves to prevent misuse and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

(6) This also constitutes our legitimate interest in the processing of your personal data. Insofar as you have given us your consent for this, the legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, in particular in the event that you send us the data by e-mail. Insofar as you wish to work towards the conclusion of a contract through your e-mail, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR constitutes an additional legal basis.

(7) Subject to statutory retention periods, the data will be deleted as soon as we have finally processed your enquiry. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. We would like to point out that in this case your enquiry cannot be processed any further. You can declare your cancellation or objection by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address given in our legal notice.

IX. NEWSLETTER
(1) We provide you with a newsletter that you can subscribe to on our website. Details about the newsletter, in particular its possible contents, are stated in the declaration of consent. If you subscribe to our newsletter, the data you entered into the input mask when registering for the newsletter will be transmitted to us. In order to register to receive the newsletter, you must provide the mandatory data requested by us: title, first name, last name, email address.

(2) If you provide additional personal data when registering, the information is voluntary.

(3) To register for our newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. After you register, we will send you an email to the email address you provided in which we ask you to confirm that you would like us to send you the newsletter in the future. If you do not confirm your registration within the period specified in the email, the data you provided will be blocked and deleted after 24 hours. In addition, we store your IP address and the time of registration for the newsletter as well as the time of confirmation. In connection with the processing of the data for sending the newsletter, the data will not be passed on to third parties. This data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

(4) Unless we use a third-party provider listed below to send the newsletter, the data will not be passed on to third parties in connection with the processing of the data for sending the newsletter.

(5) The data you enter into the input mask when registering will be processed for the purpose of addressing you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your email address so that we can send you the newsletter. We store the respective IP address and the times of registration and confirmation in order to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. This is also our legitimate interest. If you have given us your consent, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR. Insofar as the processing is otherwise based on our legitimate interests, the legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR.

(6) The above data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the above purposes. We therefore store your data mentioned above as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter, we store the aforementioned data purely statistically and anonymously.

(7) You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can unsubscribe by clicking on the link contained in every newsletter email we send you.

(8) We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. The newsletter emails we send contain a so-called web beacon or a so-called tracking pixel. This is a one-pixel image file that is stored on our website. The data mentioned in this section and the web beacons are linked to your email address and an individual ID for evaluation. The links contained in the newsletter also contain this ID. This data is only collected pseudonymously. The individual ID is not linked to your other personal data, so that it cannot be directly related to you.

(9) This processing of the data serves the purpose of tailoring the newsletter to your individual interests, optimizing our offering and making it more interesting for you overall. This is also our legitimate interest. If you have given us your consent, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR. Insofar as the processing is otherwise based on our legitimate interests, the legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR. If you have given us your consent for the above processing of the data, you can revoke this at any time. You can object to this evaluation of your user behavior at any time by clicking on the separate link contained in each newsletter email. In addition, you can prevent the above evaluation of your user behavior if you have deactivated the display of images in your email program by default. We would like to point out that in this case the newsletter will not be displayed to you in its entirety and you may therefore not be able to use all of the newsletter’s functions. If you manually activate the display of the images, the evaluation of your user behavior described above will take place again.

X. BLOG
(1) We offer a blog on our website. In this blog we publish articles on various topics.

(2) If you have given us your consent to store your data, you can revoke this at any time. You can object to this storage of the above data at any time.

In order to use this service, you must activate the ‘Email service’ checkbox when writing your comment. For this service we use the so-called double opt-in procedure.

XI. ONLINE APPLICATION
(1) We offer you the opportunity to apply online on our website. In order to participate in the application process, you must provide personal data. This data may include, among other things, personal master data such as first name, last name, address, date of birth, contact details such as telephone number or email address, as well as data relating to your school and/or professional career such as school and work references, data about training, internships or previous employers. This data can come from an application form that you fill out online on the application platform or from the documents you provide, such as a cover letter, a CV, an application photo, certificates or other professional evidence. Data that is absolutely necessary to participate in the application process is marked accordingly as mandatory information. Unless a third-party provider is named in this data protection declaration, whose service we use to provide the online application function, the data will not be passed on to third parties.

(2) We process the above data for the purpose of carrying out the application process. If you have given us your consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR. If the above data is processed to initiate contractual relationships, the legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b) GDPR.

(3) The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the event that an employment relationship, training relationship, internship or other employment relationship arises following the application process, the data will initially continue to be stored and transferred to the personnel file. Otherwise, the application process ends with receipt of a rejection. In this case, the data will be deleted after three months. Deletion will not occur if further processing and storage of your personal data is necessary in individual cases to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. In this case, we have a legitimate interest in further processing and storing your personal data. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR. Deletion will not take place even if we are obliged to continue storing your personal data due to legal regulations.

(4) You can revoke your consent given to us at any time. You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time. In particular, you have the option to withdraw your application at any time. As part of the application process, you should only provide us with the personal data that is necessary to participate in and carry out the application process. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide data. However, we would like to point out that without this data we cannot carry out the application process and cannot consider your application. The same applies in the event of an objection to the processing of your data. You can have the data stored about you changed at any time.

(5) We also offer you the option of having your application saved in an application pool. This gives you the opportunity to allow us to consider your application beyond the specific reason for your application as part of other future application processes. Saving your application in the application pool requires your consent. We will save your application in the application pool for one year. The legal basis for processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR. You can revoke the consent you have given us at any time.

XII. REGISTRATION
(1) In order to use additional functions of our website, we offer the option of registering by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored.

Otherwise we will reject the registration. The following data is collected as part of the registration process: first name, last name, email address.

(2) At the time of registration, the IP address and the date and time of registration are also saved. As part of the registration process, the user’s consent to process this data is obtained.

(3) Registration is required to provide certain content and services on our website. We only use the data entered for the purpose of using the respective offer or service or to provide the services for which you have registered. In the event of important changes to our offers, services or achievements, for example regarding the scope of the offer or in the event of technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you about this. The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR. If registration serves to conclude or execute a contract, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b) GDPR represents an additional legal basis.

(4) You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

(5) The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case if the registration on our website is canceled or changed. You have the option to cancel your registration at any time. You can change the data stored about you at any time. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

(6) We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary as part of contract processing. The data will not be transmitted further or will only be transmitted if you have expressly agreed to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

(7) If you have given us your consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR. Furthermore, the legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b) GDPR.

Technical information such as the time of access, your IP address, data about your web browser and the operating system are also recorded. This data is only collected pseudonymously.
