  • The conclusion or fulfillment of a contract with you or your preliminary inquiries (for example, by submitting a job application)
  • A balancing of interests (for example, if your professional data are collected when making contact on behalf of your employer).
  • A legal obligation (for example, for the storage of documents by us)

4 Recipients of personal data

As a matter of principle, we treat your personal data as strictly confidential and only disclose them with your expressed consent, or when we are legally obliged or entitled to do so, or it is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from a contractual relationship. In addition, we will disclose your personal data to third parties to the extent that this is necessary or expedient in the context of the use of the website or for the possible provision of the services requested by you (also beyond the scope of our website).

We disclose your personal data to the following categories of recipients:

  • Companies of the Group
  • Business partners / customers
  • Service operators
  • Sub-contractors
  • Debt collection agencies

In doing so, we evidently comply with the legal regulations on the transmission of personal data to third parties. If we use order processors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions as well as corresponding technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of your personal data in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.

If the level of data protection in a country where the data is processed does not comply with the applicable data protection regulations, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data is at all times equivalent to that in Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA).

5 Type and duration of processing

We process personal data for the duration required for the achievement of the objective or objectives for which the data have been collected.

Insofar as statutory retention obligations exist, the personal data concerned will be stored for the duration of the retention obligation. After expiry of the retention obligation, we check whether there is a further need for keeping the data. If there is no longer a need, the data is deleted.

If we store the data on the basis of a contractual relationship with you, this data will remain stored at least as long as the contractual relationship exists and at the most as long as limitation periods for possible claims by us remain or statutory or contractual retention obligations exist.

We use tools provided by Google that Google claims can process personal data in countries where Google or Google's subcontractors maintain facilities. Google ensures adequate level of data protection by relying on the EU standard contractual clauses in its data processing terms and conditions.

In order to ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring data to the USA, we have concluded so-called EU standard contractual clauses with Google as appropriate guarantees. In addition, Google is certified under the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield agreements.

You can find more information in Google's privacy policy.

10.1.1 Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google uses so-called "cookies". The information generated by a cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to, and stored by, Google on servers in the United States.

Google uses this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website and internet use. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles may be created using the processed data. The IP address forwarded by your internet browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. If you do so, please note that you may not be able to use all functionalities of the website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google at any time in the future by downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.

If you enable the storage of cookies, Google Analytics retains your data for 2 months. At the expiration of this retention period, data are automatically deleted.

For more information, please refer to the Google Analytics Terms of Use and Google's Privacy Policy.

We use the additional functionalities of Universal Analytics as part of Google Analytics. Universal Analytics allows us to analyze your activities on our pages across devices. This is made possible by the pseudonymous assignment of a user identification (user ID) to a user. Such an assignment is made, for example, when you register for a Google user account or log in to your user account. However, no personal data is forwarded to Google. Please note that all functions of Google Universal can be restricted through the browser add-on.

For more information about Universal Analytics, please see the Universal Analytics Security and Privacy Notices.

10.1.2 Google Ads

Our website uses the online advertising program Google Ads, which belongs to Google Marketing Services, to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media on external websites. We can determine how successful individual promotional activities are with the data generated by the advertising campaigns.

If you have reached our website via a Google ad, Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer ("conversion cookie"). These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally.

These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If you visit certain of our websites and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were thus redirected to our website. A different cookie is assigned to each Google Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify you on the basis of this information.

Based on the collected information, interest-relevant categories are assigned to your browser. These categories are used to serve interest-based advertising.

By using Google Ads, we reach users who have already visited our website. This allows us to present our advertising to target groups that are already interested in our products or services.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:

  • by the appropriate setting of your browser software; in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies prevents the reception of ads from third-party providers;
  • by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by choosing the appropriate settings for personalized advertising from Google;
  • by disabling the interest-based ads of the providers, which are part of the self-regulatory campaign AboutAds campaign;
  • by permanently deactivating it using a browser plugin provided by Google in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google browsers;

For more information about the Google Ads Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.

10.1.3 Google Ads Remarketing

Our website uses the remarketing function of Google. This function enables us to present website visitors within the Google advertising network (so-called "Google Ads") with interest-based, personalized advertising depending on their previous usage and surfing behavior. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she visits websites that belong to Google's advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google's remarketing function.

If you have a Google account and have given Google the corresponding consent, Google will link your browsing history to your Google account for each of your devices on which you log in with your Google account. This allows the same interest-based, personalized advertising to be served to you across devices. Google collects authenticated identifications of the users in the process. These are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data to determine target groups for cross-device ad advertising. If you do not have a Google account or have not consented to the link between your Google account and your browser, AdWords Remarketing will not collect the ID and other data.

According to Google's own information, the cookies serve uniquely to identify a web browser on a specific device and not to identify a person. If you do not wish to use Google's remarketing function, you can permanently deactivate it by choosing the appropriate settings for personalized advertising by Google. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by going to the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) page and implementing the opt-out measures listed there.

10.1.4 Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google. This service allows for the management of our "website tags". Google Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. However, the tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager itself, on the other hand, does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

You can generally object to interest-based advertising by Google by choosing the appropriate settings for personalized advertising by Google.

For more information about the Google Tag Manager, please refer to Google's help section and Google's privacy policy

10.1.5 Google Marketing Platform

The online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform ("GMP") uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Via a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once.

In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions, i.e., whether a user sees a GMP ad and later calls up the advertiser's website and makes a purchase there. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.

Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this service. According to Google, the integration of GMP provides Google with the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may obtain and store your IP address. In the context of the use of GMP, personal data may also be transferred to Google's servers in the USA.

You can prevent the tracking procedure by choosing the appropriate setting in your browser software or by choosing the appropriate settings for personalized advertising by Google. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functionalities of this offer to their full extent.

10.2 Bing Ads Conversion Tracking

Our website uses the conversion and tracking tool "Bing Ads" of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. In doing so, Microsoft stores cookies on your devices to enable an analysis of your use of our website, provided that you have reached our website via a Microsoft Bing ad (so-called "conversion measurement"). In this way, Microsoft and we can recognize that someone has clicked on an ad, been redirected to our website and reached a previously determined target page (so-called "conversion page"). We are only informed about the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion page. No IP addresses are stored and no personal information about your identity is disclosed.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process of Bing Ads, you can deactivate the setting of a cookie required for this via browser settings or use the opt-out page of Microsoft.

If you do not agree to the processing of your data, you have the option of deactivating the Google Maps service and thus preventing the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use Google Maps or only to a limited extent.

11.2 YouTube

Our website uses the provider YouTube for the integration of videos. YouTube is a service of YouTube LLC ("YouTube"), 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube LLC is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, or if you are a resident in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

When you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. This information (including your IP address) may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged into your YouTube account at the same time, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our website.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our offer).

11.3 Vimeo

Furthermore, our website also uses plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA for the integration of videos.

When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Vimeo. Vimeo transmits the content of the plugin directly to your browser and integrates it into the website. This provides Vimeo with the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly assign your visit to our website to your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (such as pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.

If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our offer).

If you decide to interact with the plugin (e.g., to share content) and are logged into the user account of a social network, data will be transmitted to the respective network.

12 Social media presence

We maintain social network profiles on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and Xing.

The data you enter on our social network profiles is published by the social network platform and is not used or processed by us for any other purpose at any time. However, we reserve the right to delete content if this should be necessary. At most, we communicate with you via the social network platform. This is based on your, and our, legitimate interest in exchanging information with each other in this way.

Be aware that the operator of the social network platform uses web tracking methods. The web tracking, over which we have no control, can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social network platform.

13 Data security

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data that we receive or collect, in particular against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against attack by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. The measures taken are intended to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of your personal data as well as the availability and resilience of our systems and services in the processing of your personal data in the long term. They also ensure the rapid restoration of the availability of your personal data and access to them in the event of a physical or technical incident.

Our website is encrypted using SSL technology to prevent access by unauthorized third parties. You can recognize the secure transmission by the protocol designation "https://" in the URL line.

14 Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us and to which this data protection policy does not extend. After clicking on the link, we no longer have any influence on the processing of any data transmitted to third parties (such as the IP address or URL), as the behavior of third parties is by definition beyond our control. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these third-party contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages.

Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, a permanent control of the contents and examination of the linked pages without concrete evidence of a violation of the law is not reasonable. If we become aware of any infringements, such links will be removed immediately.

15 Your rights

In principle, you have the rights of access, rectification, deletion, restriction, data portability, objection to processing and revocation of consent with regard to your personal data.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection laws or that your data protection rights have been violated in any way, you can also complain to the supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
