We take adequate and appropriate technical and organisational measures to guarantee data protection and data security in particular. Regardless of such measures, it is a fact that gaps in security may occur when processing personal data on the internet. We cannot, therefore, guarantee absolute data security.
Our online offer is accessed via transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated as HTTPS). Most browsers signal transport encryption by displaying a padlock in the address bar.
Like basically any other type of internet use, access to our online offer is subject to indiscriminate mass surveillance even where there are no grounds for suspicion, and other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the European Union (EU), the United States of America (USA) and in other states. We have no means of directly influencing the processing of personal data by intelligence services, police organisations and other security authorities.

5. Use of our website

5.1 Cookies
We may use cookies for our website. Both our own cookies (first-party cookies) and cookies used by third-party service providers (third-party cookies) are data in text form which are stored on your browser. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer malware such as Trojans and viruses.
When you visit our website, cookies may be stored on your browser temporarily, as session cookies, or for a certain period, as persistent cookies. Session cookies are erased automatically when you close your browser. Persistent cookies allow us – in particular – to recognise your browser on a repeat visit to our website so that we can measure our website reach, for example. Persistent cookies may also be used for online marketing.
You may partially or wholly deactivate cookies, or delete cookies, via your browser settings at any time. However, without cookies our website will no longer be fully available to you. We therefore ask you – where and to the extent required – for your specific consent to the use of cookies.
Cookies used to measure website results and reach, or for publicity purposes, may often be tied to a general opt-out via the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance) or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).

5.2 Server log files
Whenever our website is accessed, we may collect the following information where it is transmitted from your browser to our server infrastructure, or can be identified by our web server: date and time, including time zone, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, which subpages you visit, including volume of data transmitted and which website you accessed previously in your browser window (referring site).
We store this information, which may include personal data, in server log files. This information is required to ensure our online offering is durable, user-friendly and reliable, and to guarantee data security as a means of ensuring, in particular, protection of personal data – possibly by third parties or with assistance from third parties.

5.3 Tracking pixels
We may use tracking pixels on our website. Tracking pixels are also known as web beacons. Tracking pixels – our own or those used by third-party service providers – are tiny, usually invisible images which are automatically loaded when you visit our website. Tracking pixels collect the same information as server log files.

6. NOTIFICATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS

We send notifications and communications such as our newsletter via email and via other communication channels such as instant messaging.

6.1 Measurement of website results and reach
Notifications and communications may include web links and tracking pixels to identify whether a specific communication was opened and, if so, which web links attracted clicks. These web links and tracking pixels are also capable of identifying what use was made of notifications and communications on an individual basis. This statistical identification of use is needed for measuring website results and reach so that we may make notifications and communications effective and user-friendly in relation to recipients‘ needs and reading habits, as well as durable, secure and reliable.

6.2 Consent and opt-out
As a general rule, you must explicitly consent to the use of your email address and other contact addresses unless permitted for other legal grounds. As far as possible, we use the double opt-in method to seek your consent to receiving emails, which means you receive an email with a web link and, to confirm your consent, you are required to click on the link, which prevents misuse by unauthorised third parties. We can record this consent, including your internet protocol (IP) address, date and time, for proof/security-related purposes.
You may unsubscribe from notifications and communications such as newsletters at any time. We reserve the right to send you notifications and communications which are absolutely necessary in terms of our offering. By unsubscribing, you can, in particular, opt out of statistical recording of use in connection with measuring website results and reach.

6.3 Service providers for notifications and communications
We send out notifications and communications via services provided by third parties, or with the help of service providers. Cookies may be used for this purpose. We guarantee an adequate level of data protection for these services.
We use rapidmail to send out and manage newsletters and other emails. Rapidmail is a service provided by Rapidmail GmbH in Germany. Further information on the type, scope and purpose of data processing is published in Rapidmail’s data protection statement.

We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms to communicate with interested parties and publish information about our offering. This may involve processing personal data from outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA).
The General Terms and Conditions (GTC), Terms of Use, Data Protection Statements and other provisions of the individual operators of such online platforms also apply. These provisions set out information about data subject rights, including the right to access information in particular.

8. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We use third-party services to provide a durable, user-friendly, secure and reliable offering. Such services also allow us to embed content in our website. Such services – e.g. hosting and backup services, video services and payment services – require your Internet Protocol (IP) address for the transmission of relevant content. These services may be located outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area (EEA) providing an adequate level of data protection can be guaranteed.
Third-party service providers may, for their own security-related statistical and technical purposes, process data in connection with our offering and from other sources – e.g. by using cookies, log files and tracking pixels – in aggregate, anonymous or pseudoanonymous form.
