General Note

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

 

In coope­ra­ti­on with our hos­ting pro­vi­ders, we stri­ve to pro­tect the data­ba­ses as much as pos­si­ble from unaut­ho­ri­zed access, loss, misu­se, or forgery.

 

We would like to point out that data trans­mis­si­on over the Inter­net (e.g., when com­mu­ni­ca­ting by email) may have secu­ri­ty gaps. Com­ple­te pro­tec­tion of data from third-par­ty access 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. During such visits, data such as pages cal­led up or the name of the retrie­ved file, date, and time are stored on the ser­ver for sta­tis­ti­cal pur­po­ses, wit­hout the­se data being direct­ly rela­ted to your per­son. Per­so­nal data, par­ti­cu­lar­ly name, address, or email address, are coll­ec­ted as far as pos­si­ble on a vol­un­t­a­ry basis. Wit­hout your con­sent, this data will not be pas­sed on to third parties.

 

Processing of Personal Data

Per­so­nal data is any infor­ma­ti­on rela­ting to an iden­ti­fied or iden­ti­fia­ble natu­ral per­son. A data sub­ject is a per­son about whom per­so­nal data are pro­ces­sed. Pro­ces­sing includes any hand­ling of per­so­nal data, regard­less of the means and pro­ce­du­res used, in par­ti­cu­lar the sto­rage, dis­clo­sure, acqui­si­ti­on, dele­ti­on, sto­rage, altera­ti­on, des­truc­tion, and use of per­so­nal data.

 

We pro­cess per­so­nal data in accordance with Swiss data pro­tec­tion law. Inso­far and inso­far as the EU GDPR is appli­ca­ble, we pro­cess per­so­nal data in accordance with the fol­lo­wing legal bases in con­nec­tion with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:

 

- **Con­sent** (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a. GDPR) — The data sub­ject has given their con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of their per­so­nal data for one or more spe­ci­fic purposes.

- **Con­tract per­for­mance and pre-con­trac­tu­al inqui­ries** (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b. GDPR) — Pro­ces­sing is neces­sa­ry for the per­for­mance of a con­tract to which the data sub­ject is par­ty, or for the per­for­mance of pre-con­trac­tu­al actions taken at the data sub­jec­t’s request.

- **Legal obli­ga­ti­on** (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c. GDPR) — Pro­ces­sing is neces­sa­ry for com­pli­ance with a legal obli­ga­ti­on to which the con­trol­ler is subject.

- **Pro­tec­tion of vital inte­rests** (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. d. GDPR) — Pro­ces­sing is neces­sa­ry to pro­tect the vital inte­rests of the data sub­ject or ano­ther natu­ral person.

- **Legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests** (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f. GDPR) — Pro­ces­sing is neces­sa­ry for the pur­po­ses of the legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests pur­sued by the con­trol­ler or a third par­ty, except whe­re such inte­rests are over­ridden by the inte­rests or fun­da­men­tal rights and free­doms of the data sub­ject which requi­re pro­tec­tion of per­so­nal data.

 

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

 

Significant Legal Bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases of our data pro­ces­sing. If the legal basis is not spe­ci­fied in the pri­va­cy poli­cy, the fol­lo­wing appli­es: The legal basis for obtai­ning cons­ents is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for pro­ces­sing for the per­for­mance of our ser­vices and the exe­cu­ti­on of con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res as well as respon­ding to inqui­ries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for pro­ces­sing to ful­fill our legal obli­ga­ti­ons is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for pro­ces­sing to pro­tect our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the case that vital inte­rests of the data sub­ject or ano­ther natu­ral per­son requi­re pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR ser­ves as the legal basis.

 

Security Measures

We take appro­pria­te tech­ni­cal and orga­niza­tio­nal mea­su­res in accordance with legal requi­re­ments, taking into account the sta­te of the art, the cos­ts of imple­men­ta­ti­on, and the natu­re, scope, cir­cum­s­tances, and pur­po­ses of pro­ces­sing as well as the vary­ing likeli­hood and seve­ri­ty of the risk to the rights and free­doms of natu­ral persons.

 

The mea­su­res include, in par­ti­cu­lar, ensu­ring the con­fi­den­tia­li­ty, inte­gri­ty, and avai­la­bi­li­ty of data by con­trol­ling phy­si­cal and elec­tro­nic access to the data as well as access, input, dis­clo­sure, ensu­ring avai­la­bi­li­ty, and its sepa­ra­ti­on. Fur­ther­mo­re, we have estab­lished pro­ce­du­res that ensu­re the exer­cise of data sub­jects’ rights, dele­ti­on of data, and respon­ses to data end­an­ger­ment. Moreo­ver, we con­sider the pro­tec­tion of per­so­nal data alre­a­dy in the deve­lo­p­ment or sel­ec­tion of hard­ware, soft­ware, and pro­ce­du­res, accor­ding to the prin­ci­ple of data pro­tec­tion, through tech­no­lo­gy design and data pro­tec­tion-fri­end­ly default settings.

 

Transmission of Personal Data

In the cour­se of our pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data, it hap­pens that the data is trans­fer­red to other bodies, com­pa­nies, legal­ly inde­pen­dent orga­niza­tio­nal units, or per­sons. The reci­pi­ents of this data may include, for exam­p­le, pay­ment insti­tu­ti­ons within the con­text of pay­ment tran­sac­tions, ser­vice pro­vi­ders com­mis­sio­ned with IT tasks, or pro­vi­ders of ser­vices and con­tent that are inte­gra­ted into a web­site. In such cases, we obser­ve the legal requi­re­ments and, in par­ti­cu­lar, con­clude cor­re­spon­ding con­tracts or agree­ments, which ser­ve the pro­tec­tion of your data, with the reci­pi­ents of your data.

 

Processing of Data in Third Countries

If we pro­cess data in a third coun­try (i.e., out­side the Euro­pean Uni­on (EU), the Euro­pean Eco­no­mic Area (EEA)) or the pro­ces­sing takes place in the con­text of the use of third-par­ty ser­vices or dis­clo­sure or trans­mis­si­on of data to other per­sons, bodies or com­pa­nies, this is only done in accordance with legal requirements.

 

Sub­ject to express con­sent or con­trac­tual­ly or legal­ly requi­red trans­mis­si­on, we pro­cess or let the data be pro­ces­sed in third count­ries only in the pre­sence of the spe­cial con­di­ti­ons of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. This means that the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out, for exam­p­le, on the basis of spe­cial gua­ran­tees, such as the offi­ci­al­ly reco­gni­zed deter­mi­na­ti­on of a data pro­tec­tion level cor­re­spon­ding to the EU (e.g., for the USA by the “Pri­va­cy Shield”) or com­pli­ance with offi­ci­al­ly reco­gni­zed spe­cial con­trac­tu­al obli­ga­ti­ons (so-cal­led “stan­dard con­trac­tu­al clauses”).

 

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This web­site uses coo­kies. Coo­kies are text files that store data from visi­ted web­sites or domains and are saved by a brow­ser on the user’s com­pu­ter. The main pur­po­se of a coo­kie is to store infor­ma­ti­on about a user during or after their visit within an online offer. Stored infor­ma­ti­on may include lan­guage set­tings on a web­site, log­in sta­tus, a shop­ping cart, or the loca­ti­on whe­re a video was wat­ched. We also include other tech­no­lo­gies that per­form the same func­tions as coo­kies (e.g., when user infor­ma­ti­on is stored using pseud­ony­mous online iden­ti­fiers, also refer­red to as “user IDs”)

 

The fol­lo­wing types and func­tions of coo­kies are distinguished:

 

Tem­po­ra­ry coo­kies (also: ses­si­on or ses­si­on coo­kies): Tem­po­ra­ry coo­kies are dele­ted at the latest after a user lea­ves an online offer and clo­ses his browser.

Per­ma­nent coo­kies: Per­ma­nent coo­kies remain saved even after the brow­ser is clo­sed. For exam­p­le, the log­in sta­tus can be saved or pre­fer­red con­tent can be shown direct­ly when the user visits a web­site again. Like­wi­se, the inte­rests of users used for reach mea­su­re­ment or mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses can be stored in such a cookie.

First-par­ty coo­kies: First-par­ty coo­kies are set by ourselves.

Third-par­ty coo­kies (also: third-par­ty coo­kies): Third-par­ty coo­kies are main­ly used by adver­ti­sers (so-cal­led third par­ties) to pro­cess user information.

Neces­sa­ry (also: essen­ti­al or abso­lut­e­ly neces­sa­ry) coo­kies: Coo­kies can be neces­sa­ry for the ope­ra­ti­on of a web­site (e.g., to store log­ins or other user inputs or for reasons of security).

Sta­tis­tic, mar­ke­ting, and per­so­na­liza­ti­on coo­kies: Fur­ther­mo­re, coo­kies are gene­ral­ly also used within the scope of reach mea­su­re­ment as well as when the inte­rests of a user or his beha­vi­or (e.g., vie­w­ing cer­tain con­tent, using func­tions, etc.) are stored on indi­vi­du­al web­sites in a user pro­fi­le. Such pro­files are used to show users e.g., con­tent that cor­re­sponds to their poten­ti­al inte­rests. This method is also refer­red to as “track­ing”, i.e., track­ing the poten­ti­al inte­rests of users. Pro­vi­ded we use coo­kies or “track­ing” tech­no­lo­gies, we will inform you sepa­ra­te­ly in our pri­va­cy poli­cy or in the con­text of obtai­ning consent.

Notes on legal bases: On which legal basis we pro­cess your per­so­nal data using coo­kies depends on whe­ther we ask you for con­sent. If this is the case and you con­sent to the use of coo­kies, the legal basis for pro­ces­sing your data is your declared con­sent. Other­wi­se, the data pro­ces­sed with coo­kies are pro­ces­sed on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (e.g., in a busi­ness ope­ra­ti­on of our online offer and its impro­ve­ment) or, if the use of coo­kies is neces­sa­ry to ful­fill our con­trac­tu­al obligations.

Sto­rage dura­ti­on: Unless we pro­vi­de you with expli­cit infor­ma­ti­on about the sto­rage dura­ti­on of per­ma­nent coo­kies (e.g., within the scope of a so-cal­led coo­kie opt-in), plea­se assu­me that the sto­rage dura­ti­on can be up to two years.

Gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on on revo­ca­ti­on and objec­tion (opt-out): Depen­ding on whe­ther the pro­ces­sing is based on con­sent or legal per­mis­si­on, you always have the opti­on to revo­ke a given con­sent or to object to the pro­ces­sing of your data by coo­kie tech­no­lo­gies (sum­ma­ri­ly refer­red to as “opt-out”). You can initi­al­ly decla­re your objec­tion by means of the set­tings of your brow­ser, e.g., by deac­ti­vat­ing the use of coo­kies (which can also impair the func­tion­a­li­ty of our online offer). An objec­tion to the use of coo­kies for online mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses can also be declared by means of a varie­ty of ser­vices, espe­ci­al­ly in the case of track­ing, via the web­sites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addi­ti­on, you can recei­ve fur­ther objec­tion noti­ces in the con­text of the infor­ma­ti­on on the ser­vice pro­vi­ders and coo­kies used.

Pro­ces­sing of coo­kie data based on con­sent: We use a pro­ce­du­re for coo­kie con­sent manage­ment, in which the cons­ents of the users into the use of coo­kies, or the pro­ces­sing and pro­vi­ders men­tio­ned as part of the coo­kie con­sent manage­ment pro­ce­du­re are obtai­ned and mana­ged and revo­ked by the users. The con­sent decla­ra­ti­on is saved so that it does not have to be repea­ted and the con­sent can be pro­ven accor­ding to the legal obli­ga­ti­on. The sto­rage can take place ser­ver-side and/or in a coo­kie (so-cal­led opt-in coo­kie, or with the help of com­pa­ra­ble tech­no­lo­gies), in order to be able to assign the con­sent to a user, or his device. Sub­ject to indi­vi­du­al infor­ma­ti­on about the pro­vi­ders of coo­kie manage­ment ser­vices, the fol­lo­wing appli­es: The dura­ti­on of the sto­rage of con­sent can be up to two years. Here, a pseud­ony­mous user iden­ti­fier is for­med and stored with the time of con­sent, details of the scope of the con­sent (e.g., which cate­go­ries of coo­kies and/or ser­vice pro­vi­ders), as well as the brow­ser, sys­tem, and used end device.

Pro­ces­sed data types: Usa­ge data (e.g., visi­ted web­sites, inte­rest in con­tent, access times), Meta/communication data (e.g., device infor­ma­ti­on, IP addresses).

Affec­ted per­sons: Users (e.g., web­site visi­tors, users of online services).

Legal bases: Con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a. GDPR), Legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption

This web­site uses SSL/TLS encryp­ti­on for secu­ri­ty reasons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­si­on of con­fi­den­ti­al con­tent, such as inqui­ries, which you send to us as the site ope­ra­tor. You can reco­gni­ze an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by the fact that the address line of the brow­ser chan­ges from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock sym­bol in your brow­ser line.

 

When SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on is acti­va­ted, the data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third parties.

 

Data Transmission Security (without SSL)

Plea­se note that data trans­mit­ted via an open net­work such as the inter­net or an email ser­vice wit­hout SSL encryp­ti­on is visi­ble to ever­yo­ne. An unen­crypt­ed con­nec­tion can be reco­gni­zed by the fact that the address line of the brow­ser shows “http://” and no lock sym­bol is dis­play­ed in your brow­ser line. Infor­ma­ti­on trans­mit­ted over the inter­net and online recei­ved con­tent can poten­ti­al­ly be trans­mit­ted via net­works of third par­ties. We can­not gua­ran­tee the con­fi­den­tia­li­ty of com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons or docu­ments trans­mit­ted via such open net­works or net­works of third parties.

 

If you dis­c­lo­se per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on through an open net­work or third-par­ty net­works, you should be awa­re that your data may be lost or third par­ties may poten­ti­al­ly access this infor­ma­ti­on and con­se­quent­ly coll­ect and use the data wit­hout your con­sent. Alt­hough in many cases the indi­vi­du­al data packets are encrypt­ed during trans­mis­si­on, the names of the sen­der and the reci­pi­ent are not. Even if the sen­der and reci­pi­ent live in the same coun­try, data trans­mis­si­on via such net­works fre­quent­ly occurs wit­hout con­trols also through third-par­ty count­ries, i.e., also through count­ries that do not offer the same level of data pro­tec­tion as your coun­try of domic­i­le. We accept no respon­si­bi­li­ty for the secu­ri­ty of your data during trans­mis­si­on via the inter­net and reject any lia­bi­li­ty for direct or indi­rect los­ses. We ask you to use other means of com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on if you con­sider this neces­sa­ry or reasonable for secu­ri­ty reasons.

 

Despi­te exten­si­ve tech­ni­cal and orga­niza­tio­nal secu­ri­ty mea­su­res, data may be lost or inter­cept­ed and/or mani­pu­la­ted by unaut­ho­ri­zed per­sons. To the ext­ent pos­si­ble, we take appro­pria­te tech­ni­cal and orga­niza­tio­nal secu­ri­ty mea­su­res to pre­vent this within our sys­tems. Howe­ver, your com­pu­ter is out­side the secu­ri­ty area con­trol­led by us. It is your own respon­si­bi­li­ty as a user to inform yours­elf about the neces­sa­ry secu­ri­ty pre­cau­ti­ons and to take appro­pria­te mea­su­res in this regard. As the web­site ope­ra­tor, we are in no way lia­ble for any dama­ge you may suf­fer as a result of data loss or manipulation.

 

Data which you enter into online forms may be pas­sed on to third par­ties for order pro­ces­sing and view­ed and pos­si­bly pro­ces­sed by them.

 

Privacy Policy for Server Log Files

The pro­vi­der of this web­site auto­ma­ti­cal­ly coll­ects and stores infor­ma­ti­on in so-cal­led ser­ver log files, which your brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cal­ly trans­mits to us. The­se are:

 

Brow­ser type and brow­ser version

Used ope­ra­ting system

Refer­rer URL

Host name of the acces­sing computer

Time of the ser­ver request

The­se data can­not be assi­gned to spe­ci­fic per­sons. A mer­ge of this data with other data sources is not car­ri­ed out. We reser­ve the right to check this data retro­s­pec­tively if we beco­me awa­re of spe­ci­fic indi­ca­ti­ons for ille­gal use.

 

Services of Third Parties

This web­site may use Goog­le Maps for embed­ding maps, Goog­le Invi­si­ble reCAPTCHA for pro­tec­tion against bots and spam, and You­Tube for embed­ding videos.

 

The­se ser­vices of the Ame­ri­can Goog­le LLC use, among other things, coo­kies and as a result, data may be trans­fer­red to Goog­le in the USA, wher­eby we assu­me that in this con­text the­re is no per­so­nal track­ing sole­ly by using our website.

 

Goog­le is com­mit­ted to ensu­ring ade­qua­te data pro­tec­tion in accordance with the Ame­ri­can-Euro­pean and Ame­ri­can-Swiss Pri­va­cy Shield.

 

Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on can be found in Goo­g­le’s pri­va­cy policy.

 

Privacy Policy for Contact Form

If you send us inqui­ries via the cont­act form, your details from the inquiry form, inclu­ding the cont­act details you pro­vi­ded the­re, will be stored for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing the inquiry and in case of fol­low-up ques­ti­ons. We do not share this data wit­hout your consent.

 

Privacy Policy for Newsletter Data

If you would like to recei­ve the news­let­ter offe­red on this web­site, we need an email address from you as well as infor­ma­ti­on that allows us to veri­fy that you are the owner of the spe­ci­fied email address and agree to recei­ve the news­let­ter. Fur­ther data is not coll­ec­ted. We use this data exclu­si­ve­ly for the deli­very of the reques­ted infor­ma­ti­on and do not pass it on to third parties.

The con­sent given to the sto­rage of the data, the email address, and their use for sen­ding the news­let­ter can be revo­ked at any time, for exam­p­le through the “unsub­scri­be” link in the newsletter.

 

Privacy Policy for the Comment Function on this Website

For the com­ment func­tion on this page, in addi­ti­on to your com­ment, infor­ma­ti­on about the time of the crea­ti­on of the com­ment, your email address, and, if you are not pos­ting anony­mously, the user­na­me you have cho­sen will be saved.

 

Sto­rage of the IP address

Our com­ment func­tion stores the IP addres­ses of users who wri­te comm­ents. Sin­ce we do not review comm­ents on our site befo­re acti­va­ti­on, we need this data to be able to take action against the aut­hor in the case of inf­rin­ge­ments such as insults or propaganda.

 

Subscription to comments

As a user of the site, you can sub­scri­be to comm­ents after regis­tering. You will recei­ve a con­fir­ma­ti­on email to veri­fy that you are the owner of the email address pro­vi­ded. You can unsub­scri­be from this func­tion at any time via a link in the info mails.

The data sub­ject with­draws con­sent to which the pro­ces­sing is based accor­ding to point (a) of Artic­le 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Artic­le 9(2) of the GDPR, and whe­re the­re is no other legal ground for the processing.

The data sub­ject objects to the pro­ces­sing pur­su­ant to Artic­le 21(1) of the GDPR and the­re are no over­ri­ding legi­ti­ma­te grounds for the pro­ces­sing, or the data sub­ject objects to the pro­ces­sing pur­su­ant to Artic­le 21(2) of the GDPR.

The per­so­nal data have been unlawful­ly processed.

The per­so­nal data must be era­sed for com­pli­ance with a legal obli­ga­ti­on in Uni­on or Mem­ber Sta­te law to which the con­trol­ler is subject.

The per­so­nal data have been coll­ec­ted in rela­ti­on to the offer of infor­ma­ti­on socie­ty ser­vices refer­red to in Artic­le 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the afo­re­men­tio­ned reasons appli­es, and a data sub­ject wis­hes to request the era­su­re of per­so­nal data stored by the this web­site, he or she may at any time cont­act our Data Pro­tec­tion Offi­cer. The Data Pro­tec­tion Offi­cer of this web­site shall prompt­ly ensu­re that the era­su­re request is com­pli­ed with immediately.

 

Whe­re the con­trol­ler has made per­so­nal data public and is obli­ged pur­su­ant to Artic­le 17(1) to era­se the per­so­nal data, the con­trol­ler, taking account of available tech­no­lo­gy and the cost of imple­men­ta­ti­on, shall take reasonable steps, inclu­ding tech­ni­cal mea­su­res, to inform other con­trol­lers pro­ces­sing the per­so­nal data that the data sub­ject has reques­ted era­su­re by such con­trol­lers of any links to, or copy or repli­ca­ti­on of, tho­se per­so­nal data, as far as pro­ces­sing is not requi­red. The Data Pro­tec­tion Offi­cer of this web­site will arran­ge the neces­sa­ry mea­su­res in indi­vi­du­al cases.

 

Right to Rest­ric­tion of Processing

Each data sub­ject affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor to obtain from the con­trol­ler rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing whe­re one of the fol­lo­wing applies:

 

The accu­ra­cy of the per­so­nal data is con­tes­ted by the data sub­ject, for a peri­od enab­ling the con­trol­ler to veri­fy the accu­ra­cy of the per­so­nal data.

The pro­ces­sing is unlawful, and the data sub­ject oppo­ses the era­su­re of the per­so­nal data and requests ins­tead the rest­ric­tion of their use instead.

The con­trol­ler no lon­ger needs the per­so­nal data for the pur­po­ses of the pro­ces­sing, but they are requi­red by the data sub­ject for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise, or defen­se of legal claims.

The data sub­ject has objec­ted to pro­ces­sing pur­su­ant to Artic­le 21(1) of the GDPR pen­ding the veri­fi­ca­ti­on whe­ther the legi­ti­ma­te grounds of the con­trol­ler over­ri­de tho­se of the data subject.

If one of the afo­re­men­tio­ned con­di­ti­ons is met, and a data sub­ject wis­hes to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data stored by the this web­site, he or she may at any time cont­act our Data Pro­tec­tion Offi­cer. The Data Pro­tec­tion Offi­cer of this web­site will arran­ge the rest­ric­tion of the processing.

 

Right to Data Portability

Each data sub­ject affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor, to recei­ve the per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her, which was pro­vi­ded to a con­trol­ler, in a struc­tu­red, com­mon­ly used and machi­ne-rea­da­ble for­mat. He or she shall have the right to trans­mit tho­se data to ano­ther con­trol­ler wit­hout hin­drance from the con­trol­ler to which the per­so­nal data have been pro­vi­ded, as long as the pro­ces­sing is based on con­sent pur­su­ant to point (a) of Artic­le 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Artic­le 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a con­tract pur­su­ant to point (b) of Artic­le 6(1) of the GDPR, and the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out by auto­ma­ted means, as long as the pro­ces­sing is not neces­sa­ry for the per­for­mance of a task car­ri­ed out in the public inte­rest or in the exer­cise of offi­ci­al aut­ho­ri­ty ves­ted in the controller.

 

Fur­ther­mo­re, in exer­cis­ing his or her right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty pur­su­ant to Artic­le 20(1) of the GDPR, the data sub­ject shall have the right to have per­so­nal data trans­mit­ted direct­ly from one con­trol­ler to ano­ther, whe­re tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble and when doing so does not adver­se­ly affect the rights and free­doms of others.

 

In order to assert the right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty, the data sub­ject may at any time cont­act the Data Pro­tec­tion Offi­cer desi­gna­ted by this website.

 

Right to Object

Each data sub­ject affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor to object, on grounds rela­ting to his or her par­ti­cu­lar situa­ti­on, at any time, to pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Artic­le 6(1) of the GDPR. This also appli­es to pro­fil­ing based on the­se provisions.

 

The this web­site shall no lon­ger pro­cess the per­so­nal data in the event of the objec­tion, unless we can demons­tra­te com­pel­ling legi­ti­ma­te grounds for the pro­ces­sing which over­ri­de the inte­rests, rights, and free­doms of the data sub­ject, or for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise, or defen­se of legal claims.

 

If the this web­site pro­ces­ses per­so­nal data for direct mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses, the data sub­ject shall have the right to object at any time to pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her for such mar­ke­ting. This appli­es to pro­fil­ing to the ext­ent that it is rela­ted to such direct mar­ke­ting. If the data sub­ject objects to the this web­site to the pro­ces­sing for direct mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses, the this web­site will no lon­ger pro­cess the per­so­nal data for the­se purposes.

 

In addi­ti­on, the data sub­ject has the right, on grounds rela­ting to his or her par­ti­cu­lar situa­ti­on, to object to pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning him or her by the this web­site for sci­en­ti­fic or his­to­ri­cal rese­arch pur­po­ses, or for sta­tis­ti­cal pur­po­ses pur­su­ant to Artic­le 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the pro­ces­sing is neces­sa­ry for the per­for­mance of a task car­ri­ed out for reasons of public interest.

 

In order to exer­cise the right to object, the data sub­ject may cont­act any employee of the this web­site. In addi­ti­on, the data sub­ject is free in the con­text of the use of infor­ma­ti­on socie­ty ser­vices, and not­wi­th­stan­ding Direc­ti­ve 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by auto­ma­ted means using tech­ni­cal specifications.

 

Right to With­draw Data Pro­tec­tion Consent

Each data sub­ject affec­ted by the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data has the right gran­ted by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor to with­draw his or her con­sent to pro­ces­sing of his or her per­so­nal data at any time.

 

If the data sub­ject wis­hes to exer­cise the right to with­draw the con­sent, he or she may, at any time, cont­act our Data Pro­tec­tion Officer.

 

Data Protection for Applications and the Application Procedures

The data con­trol­ler shall coll­ect and pro­cess the per­so­nal data of appli­cants for the pur­po­se of the pro­ces­sing of the appli­ca­ti­on pro­ce­du­re. The pro­ces­sing may also be car­ri­ed out elec­tro­ni­cal­ly. This is par­ti­cu­lar­ly the case if an appli­cant sub­mits cor­re­spon­ding appli­ca­ti­on docu­ments by e‑mail or by means of a web form on the web­site to the con­trol­ler. If the data con­trol­ler con­cludes an employ­ment con­tract with an appli­cant, the sub­mit­ted data will be stored for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing the employ­ment rela­ti­onship in com­pli­ance with legal requi­re­ments. If no employ­ment con­tract is con­cluded with the appli­cant by the con­trol­ler, the appli­ca­ti­on docu­ments shall be auto­ma­ti­cal­ly era­sed two months after noti­fi­ca­ti­on of the refu­sal decis­i­on, pro­vi­ded that no other legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests of the con­trol­ler are oppo­sed to the era­su­re. Other legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in this rela­ti­on is, e.g., a bur­den of pro­of in a pro­ce­du­re under the Gene­ral Equal Tre­at­ment Act (AGG).

 

Data Protection Provisions About the Application and Use of Facebook

On this web­site, the con­trol­ler has inte­gra­ted com­pon­ents of the enter­pri­se Face­book. Face­book is a social network.

 

A social net­work is a place for social mee­tings on the Inter­net, an online com­mu­ni­ty, which usual­ly allows users to com­mu­ni­ca­te with each other and inter­act in a vir­tu­al space. A social net­work may ser­ve as a plat­form for the exch­an­ge of opi­ni­ons and expe­ri­en­ces, or enable the Inter­net com­mu­ni­ty to pro­vi­de per­so­nal or busi­ness-rela­ted infor­ma­ti­on. Face­book allows social net­work users to include the crea­ti­on of pri­va­te pro­files, upload pho­tos, and net­work through fri­end requests.

 

The ope­ra­ting com­pa­ny of Face­book is Face­book, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Men­lo Park, CA 94025, United Sta­tes. If a per­son lives out­side of the United Sta­tes or Cana­da, the con­trol­ler is the Face­book Ire­land Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Squa­re, Grand Canal Har­bour, Dub­lin 2, Ireland.

 

With each call-up to one of the indi­vi­du­al pages of this Inter­net web­site, which is ope­ra­ted by the con­trol­ler and into which a Face­book com­po­nent (Face­book plug-ins) was inte­gra­ted, the web brow­ser on the infor­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy sys­tem of the data sub­ject is auto­ma­ti­cal­ly prompt­ed to down­load dis­play of the cor­re­spon­ding Face­book com­po­nent from Face­book through the Face­book com­po­nent. An over­view of all the Face­book Plug-ins may be acces­sed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the cour­se of this tech­ni­cal pro­ce­du­re, Face­book is made awa­re of what spe­ci­fic sub-site of our web­site was visi­ted by the data subject.

 

If the data sub­ject is log­ged in at the same time on Face­book, Face­book detects with every call-up to our web­site by the data subject—and for the enti­re dura­ti­on of their stay on our Inter­net site—which spe­ci­fic sub-site of our Inter­net page was visi­ted by the data sub­ject. This infor­ma­ti­on is coll­ec­ted through the Face­book com­po­nent and asso­cia­ted with the respec­ti­ve Face­book account of the data sub­ject. If the data sub­ject clicks on one of the Face­book but­tons inte­gra­ted into our web­site, e.g. the “Like” but­ton, or if the data sub­ject sub­mits a com­ment, then Face­book matches this infor­ma­ti­on with the personal

 

 Face­book user account of the data sub­ject and stores the per­so­nal data.

 

Face­book always recei­ves, through the Face­book com­po­nent, infor­ma­ti­on about a visit to our web­site by the data sub­ject, when­ever the data sub­ject is log­ged in at the same time on Face­book during the time of the call-up to our web­site. This occurs regard­less of whe­ther the data sub­ject clicks on the Face­book com­po­nent or not. If such a trans­mis­si­on of infor­ma­ti­on to Face­book is not desi­ra­ble for the data sub­ject, then he or she may pre­vent this by log­ging off from their Face­book account befo­re a call-up to our web­site is made.

 

The data poli­cy published by Face­book, which is available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, pro­vi­des infor­ma­ti­on about the coll­ec­tion, pro­ces­sing, and use of per­so­nal data by Face­book. In addi­ti­on, it is explai­ned the­re what set­ting opti­ons Face­book offers to pro­tect the pri­va­cy of the data sub­ject. In addi­ti­on, dif­fe­rent con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on opti­ons are made available to allow the eli­mi­na­ti­on of data trans­mis­si­on to Face­book. The­se appli­ca­ti­ons may be used by the data sub­ject to eli­mi­na­te a data trans­mis­si­on to Facebook.

 

Data Protection Provisions About the Application and Use of Google+

On this web­site, the con­trol­ler has inte­gra­ted the Goog­le+ but­ton as a com­po­nent. Goog­le+ is a so-cal­led social net­work. A social net­work is a social mee­ting point on the Inter­net, an online com­mu­ni­ty, which usual­ly allows users to com­mu­ni­ca­te with each other and inter­act in a vir­tu­al space. A social net­work may ser­ve as a plat­form for the exch­an­ge of opi­ni­ons and expe­ri­en­ces or enable the Inter­net com­mu­ni­ty to pro­vi­de per­so­nal or busi­ness-rela­ted infor­ma­ti­on. Goog­le+ allows users of the social net­work to include the crea­ti­on of pri­va­te pro­files, upload pho­tos, and net­work through fri­end requests.

 

The ope­ra­ting com­pa­ny of Goog­le+ is Goog­le Inc., 1600 Amphi­theat­re Pkwy, Moun­tain View, CA 94043–1351, UNITED STATES.

 

With each call-up to one of the indi­vi­du­al pages of this Inter­net site, which is ope­ra­ted by the con­trol­ler and on which a Goog­le+ but­ton has been inte­gra­ted, the Inter­net brow­ser on the infor­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy sys­tem of the data sub­ject auto­ma­ti­cal­ly down­loads a dis­play of the cor­re­spon­ding Goog­le+ but­ton of Goog­le through the respec­ti­ve Goog­le+ but­ton com­po­nent. During the cour­se of this tech­ni­cal pro­ce­du­re, Goog­le is made awa­re of what spe­ci­fic sub-page of our web­site was visi­ted by the data sub­ject. More detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on about Goog­le+ is available under https://developers.google.com/+/.

 

If the data sub­ject is log­ged in at the same time to Goog­le+, Goog­le reco­gni­zes with each call-up to our web­site by the data sub­ject and for the enti­re dura­ti­on of his or her stay on our Inter­net site which spe­ci­fic sub-pages of our Inter­net page were visi­ted by the data sub­ject. This infor­ma­ti­on is coll­ec­ted through the Goog­le+ but­ton and Goog­le matches this with the respec­ti­ve Goog­le+ account asso­cia­ted with the data subject.

 

If the data sub­ject clicks on the Goog­le+ but­ton inte­gra­ted on our web­site and thus gives a Goog­le+ 1 recom­men­da­ti­on, then Goog­le assigns this infor­ma­ti­on to the per­so­nal Goog­le+ user account of the data sub­ject and stores the per­so­nal data. Goog­le stores the Goog­le+ 1 recom­men­da­ti­on of the data sub­ject, making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and con­di­ti­ons accept­ed by the data sub­ject during this regard. Sub­se­quent­ly, a Goog­le+ 1 recom­men­da­ti­on made by the data sub­ject on this web­site tog­e­ther with other per­so­nal data, such as the Goog­le+ account name used by the data sub­ject and the stored pho­to, is stored and pro­ces­sed on other Goog­le ser­vices, such as search-engi­ne results of the Goog­le search engi­ne, the Goog­le account of the data sub­ject, or other places, e.g. on Inter­net pages, or in rela­ti­on to adver­ti­se­ments. Goog­le is also able to link the visit to this web­site with other per­so­nal data stored on Goog­le. Goog­le fur­ther records this per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on with the pur­po­se of impro­ving or opti­mi­zing the various Goog­le services.

 

Through the Goog­le+ but­ton, Goog­le recei­ves infor­ma­ti­on that the data sub­ject visi­ted our web­site, if the data sub­ject at the time of the call to our web­site is log­ged in to Goog­le+. This occurs regard­less of whe­ther the per­son clicks or doesn’t click on the Goog­le+ button.

 

If the data sub­ject does not wish to trans­mit per­so­nal data to Goog­le, he or she may pre­vent such trans­mis­si­on by log­ging out of his Goog­le+ account befo­re cal­ling up our website.

 

Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on and the data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­si­ons of Goog­le may be retrie­ved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. More refe­ren­ces from Goog­le about the Goog­le+ 1 but­ton can be found under https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.

If the data sub­ject is log­ged in at the same time on XING, XING detects with every call-up to our web­site by the data subject—and for the enti­re dura­ti­on of their stay on our Inter­net site—which spe­ci­fic sub-page of our Inter­net page was visi­ted by the data sub­ject. This infor­ma­ti­on is coll­ec­ted through the XING com­po­nent and asso­cia­ted with the respec­ti­ve XING account of the data sub­ject. If the data sub­ject clicks on one of the XING but­tons inte­gra­ted on our web­site, e.g. the “Share” but­ton, then XING assigns this infor­ma­ti­on to the per­so­nal XING user account of the data sub­ject and stores the per­so­nal data.

 

XING always recei­ves infor­ma­ti­on via the XING com­po­nent that the data sub­ject has visi­ted our web­site if the data sub­ject is log­ged in at XING at the time of the call to our web­site; this occurs regard­less of whe­ther the per­son clicks on the XING com­po­nent or not. If such a trans­mis­si­on of infor­ma­ti­on to XING is not desi­ra­ble for the data sub­ject, then he or she can pre­vent this by log­ging off from their XING account befo­re a call-up to our web­site is made.

 

The data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­si­ons published by XING, which are available under https://www.xing.com/privacy, pro­vi­de insight into the coll­ec­tion, pro­ces­sing, and use of per­so­nal data by XING. In addi­ti­on, XING has published pri­va­cy noti­ces for the XING share but­ton under https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.

 

Data Protection Provisions About the Application and Use of YouTube

This web­site inte­gra­tes com­pon­ents of You­Tube. You­Tube is an Inter­net video por­tal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of char­ge, which also pro­vi­des free vie­w­ing, review, and com­men­ting on them. You­Tube allows you to publish all kinds of vide­os, so you can access both full movies and TV broad­casts, as well as music vide­os, trai­lers, and vide­os made by users via the Inter­net portal.

 

The ope­ra­ting com­pa­ny of You­Tube is You­Tube, LLC, 901 Cher­ry Ave., San Bru­no, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The You­Tube, LLC is a sub­si­dia­ry of Goog­le Inc., 1600 Amphi­theat­re Pkwy, Moun­tain View, CA 94043–1351, UNITED STATES.

 

With each call-up to one of the indi­vi­du­al pages of this Inter­net site, which is ope­ra­ted by the con­trol­ler and on which a You­Tube com­po­nent (You­Tube video) was inte­gra­ted, the Inter­net brow­ser on the infor­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy sys­tem of the data sub­ject is auto­ma­ti­cal­ly prompt­ed to down­load a dis­play of the cor­re­spon­ding You­Tube com­po­nent. Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on about You­Tube may be obtai­ned under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the cour­se of this tech­ni­cal pro­ce­du­re, You­Tube and Goog­le gain know­ledge of what spe­ci­fic sub-page of our web­site was visi­ted by the data subject.

 

If the data sub­ject is log­ged in on You­Tube, You­Tube reco­gni­zes with each call-up to a sub-page that con­ta­ins a You­Tube video, which spe­ci­fic sub-page of our Inter­net site was visi­ted by the data sub­ject. This infor­ma­ti­on is coll­ec­ted by You­Tube and Goog­le and assi­gned to the respec­ti­ve You­Tube account of the data subject.

 

You­Tube and Goog­le will recei­ve infor­ma­ti­on through the You­Tube com­po­nent that the data sub­ject has visi­ted our web­site if the data sub­ject at the time of the call to our web­site is log­ged in on You­Tube; this occurs regard­less of whe­ther the per­son clicks on a You­Tube video or not. If such a trans­mis­si­on of this infor­ma­ti­on to You­Tube and Goog­le is not desi­ra­ble for the data sub­ject, the deli­very may be pre­ven­ted if the data sub­ject logs off from their own You­Tube account befo­re a call-up to our web­site is made.

 

You­Tube’s data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­si­ons, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, pro­vi­de infor­ma­ti­on about the coll­ec­tion, pro­ces­sing, and use of per­so­nal data by You­Tube and Google.

 

Legal basis for the processing

 

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR ser­ves as the legal basis for pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons for which we obtain con­sent for a spe­ci­fic pro­ces­sing pur­po­se. If the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is neces­sa­ry for the per­for­mance of a con­tract to which the data sub­ject is par­ty, as is the case, for exam­p­le, when pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons are neces­sa­ry for the sup­p­ly of goods or to pro­vi­de any other ser­vice, the pro­ces­sing is based on Artic­le 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same appli­es to such pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons which are neces­sa­ry for car­ry­ing out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res, for exam­p­le in the case of inqui­ries con­cer­ning our pro­ducts or ser­vices. Is our com­pa­ny sub­ject to a legal obli­ga­ti­on by which pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is requi­red, such as for the ful­fill­ment of tax obli­ga­ti­ons, the pro­ces­sing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data may be neces­sa­ry to pro­tect the vital inte­rests of the data sub­ject or of ano­ther natu­ral per­son. This would be the case, for exam­p­le, if a visi­tor were inju­red in our com­pa­ny and his name, age, health insu­rance data, or other vital infor­ma­ti­on would have to be pas­sed on to a doc­tor, hos­pi­tal, or other third par­ty. Then the pro­ces­sing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Final­ly, pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons could be based on Artic­le 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons which are not cover­ed by any of the abo­ve-men­tio­ned legal grounds, if pro­ces­sing is neces­sa­ry for the pur­po­ses of the legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests pur­sued by our com­pa­ny or by a third par­ty, except whe­re such inte­rests are over­ridden by the inte­rests or fun­da­men­tal rights and free­doms of the data sub­ject which requi­re pro­tec­tion of per­so­nal data. Such pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons are par­ti­cu­lar­ly per­mis­si­ble becau­se they have been spe­ci­fi­cal­ly men­tio­ned by the Euro­pean legis­la­tor. He con­side­red that a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest could be assu­med if the data sub­ject is a cli­ent of the con­trol­ler (Reci­tal 47 Sen­tence 2 GDPR).

 

The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

 

Whe­re the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is based on Artic­le 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest is to car­ry out our busi­ness in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

 

Period for which the personal data will be stored

 

The cri­te­ria used to deter­mi­ne the peri­od of sto­rage of per­so­nal data is the respec­ti­ve sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on peri­od. After expi­ra­ti­on of that peri­od, the cor­re­spon­ding data is rou­ti­ne­ly dele­ted, as long as it is no lon­ger neces­sa­ry for the ful­fill­ment of the con­tract or the initia­ti­on of a contract.

 

Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

 

We cla­ri­fy that the pro­vi­si­on of per­so­nal data is part­ly requi­red by law (e.g., tax regu­la­ti­ons) or can also result from con­trac­tu­al pro­vi­si­ons (e.g., infor­ma­ti­on on the con­trac­tu­al part­ner). Some­ti­mes it may be neces­sa­ry to con­clude a con­tract that the data sub­ject pro­vi­des us with per­so­nal data, which must sub­se­quent­ly be pro­ces­sed by us. The data sub­ject is, for exam­p­le, obli­ged to pro­vi­de us with per­so­nal data when our com­pa­ny signs a con­tract with him or her. The non-pro­vi­si­on of the per­so­nal data would have the con­se­quence that the con­tract with the data sub­ject could not be con­cluded. Befo­re per­so­nal data is pro­vi­ded by the data sub­ject, the data sub­ject must cont­act any employee. The employee cla­ri­fies to the data sub­ject whe­ther the pro­vi­si­on of the per­so­nal data is requi­red by law or con­tract or is neces­sa­ry for the con­clu­si­on of the con­tract, whe­ther the­re is an obli­ga­ti­on to pro­vi­de the per­so­nal data and the con­se­quen­ces of non-pro­vi­si­on of the per­so­nal data.

 

Existence of automated decision-making

 

As a respon­si­ble com­pa­ny, we do not use auto­ma­tic decis­i­on-making or profiling.
