Data protection

I. General information

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

(2) With reference to the definition in Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘General Data Protection Regulation’ or ‘GDPR’ for short), the term ‘personal data’ means all data that can be related to you personally. This includes, for example, your name, address, email address and user behavior. With regard to other terms, in particular the terms ‘processing’, ‘controller’, ‘processor’ and ‘consent’, we refer to the statutory data protection definitions in Art. 4 GDPR.

(3) The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, hereinafter referred to as ‘FADP’, also applies to matters that have an impact in Switzerland, even if they are initiated outside Switzerland. However, we use the terms of the GDPR throughout this document. The terms ‘personal data’, ‘processing’, ‘processor’, ‘special categories of data’ and data portability used in the GDPR also refer to the terms ‘personal data’, ‘processing’, ‘processor’, ‘data portability’ and ‘sensitive personal data’ used in the DPA, insofar as the DPA applies. In this case, the legal meaning of the terms is determined by the DPA.

(4) We only process personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and the content and services we offer. The processing of personal data only takes place regularly if you have given us your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR or if the processing is permitted by legal regulations, in particular by one of the legal bases mentioned in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) to lit. f) GDPR.

(5) Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this is provided for by national or European regulations to which we are subject. In this case, the data will be blocked or erased when the storage period prescribed by the respective regulations has expired. The latter does not apply if further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

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

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, for example on a hard disk, and through which certain information flows to us as the body that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit 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:

(3) The processing of personal data by the aforementioned cookies serves to make our website more user-friendly and effective for you. Some functions 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 prevents you from having to log in again each time you visit our website. The data processed by cookies that are required to provide the functions of our website are not used to create user profiles. Where cookies are used for analysis purposes, they are used to improve the quality and user-friendliness of our website, its content and functions.

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

(5) The aforementioned 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.

We require this data to provide the respective service. The above data processing principles apply.

(2) In some cases, we use external service providers who have been carefully selected and commissioned by us to process this data. These service providers are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. Insofar as personal data is passed on to third parties in the course of services that we offer together with partners, you can find more detailed information in the following descriptions of the individual services. If these third parties are based in a country outside the European Economic Area, you can find more detailed information about the consequences of this circumstance in the following descriptions of the individual services.

VIII Making contact

(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: first name, surname, e-mail address.

(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 serves solely to process your inquiries.

(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.

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

X. Online application

(1) We offer you the opportunity to apply online on our website. You will need to provide personal data in order to participate in the application process. This data may include personal master data such as first name, surname, address, date of birth, contact details such as telephone number or e-mail address as well as data relating to your educational and/or professional background such as school and work references, data on training, internships or previous employers. This data may originate from an application form you complete online on the application platform or from the documents you provide, such as a cover letter, a CV, an application photo, certificates or other evidence of professional qualifications. Data that is mandatory for participation in the application process is marked accordingly as mandatory information. Unless a third-party provider whose service we use to provide the online application function is named in this privacy policy, 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 Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. Insofar as the processing of the above data takes place for the initiation of contractual relationships, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. 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 is established following the application process, the data will initially continue to be stored and transferred to the personnel file. Otherwise, the application process ends with the receipt of a rejection. In this case, the data will be deleted after four weeks. Deletion will not take place if further processing and storage of your personal data is necessary in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. In this case, we have a legitimate interest in the further processing and storage of your personal data. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Your personal data will not be erased even if we are obliged by law to continue storing your personal data.

(4) You can revoke any consent you have given us at any time. You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time. In particular, you have the option of withdrawing your application at any time. As part of the application process, you should only provide us with the personal data that is necessary for participation in the application process and its implementation. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide data. However, we would like to point out that we cannot carry out the application process without this data 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 opportunity to have your application saved in an application pool. This gives you the opportunity for us to consider your application beyond the specific reason for your application in the context of other future application procedures. The storage of your application in the application pool requires your consent. We store your application in the application pool for six months. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time.

(6) We process and/or store your personal data on a server of an external provider in the European Union. This ensures that the standards and regulations of European data protection law are complied with.
