We then process data that can be used to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. In addition, technical information is collected, for example:

III. transfer of data to third parties

DATA PROCESSING
Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those listed or to contractors other than those listed and their subcontractors.

Third parties are technology providers for the optimal operation of the websites and social media presences as well as for the provision of the services listed above.


IV.         Cross-border disclosure to third countries without an adequate level of data protection

DATA PROCESSING
No data is disclosed to third countries without an adequate level of data protection or only under the contractual obligation to maintain an adequate level of data protection (EU standard clauses).

Personal data is only transferred to third countries if the data protection requirements of Art. 6 DSG or Art. 44 ff. DPA are met.

A third country is a country outside of Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA) in which Swiss data protection law or the European GDPR is not directly applicable. A third country is considered unsafe if, according to the FDPIC or the EU Commission, the country does not have an adequate level of data protection.

With the ECJ ruling of 16 July 2020 (C-311/18), the adequacy decision for the USA was declared invalid. The FDPIC has also withdrawn the adequacy from the USA. The USA is thus a so-called unsafe third country.

When personal data is transferred to the USA, there is a risk that US authorities can gain access to the personal data. Swiss citizens have no effective legal protection against such access in the USA.

In this data protection information, we inform you when and how we transfer personal data to the USA or other insecure third countries.


V.         Data security

DATA PROCESSING
We take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data cannot be accessed or stolen by unauthorised third parties. In particular, through appropriate technical (e.g. firewall, password protection, SSL encryption, etc.) and organisational (e.g. restriction of authorised persons, training of authorised persons, etc.) measures, we ensure that only authorised persons have access to this data. Our data processing and security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.


PERSONAL DATA
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, including name, address, telephone number or email or IP address.


PURPOSE
We use SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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.

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


VI. retention period

DATA PROCESSING
We will retain your personal data for as long as we consider necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable laws or for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. We will delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer needed and in any case after the maximum retention period of five or ten years as required by law. Data that is no longer necessary and for which there is no legal obligation to retain it will be destroyed once the purpose and justification no longer apply.


PERSONAL DATA
In detail, we keep your data for the following period:

We retain data that we process by law for the statutory retention period, for example if required by labour law, social security law, tax law or the Business Records Ordinance;

Data that we need for the performance of a contract, we keep at least for the duration of the contract and for a maximum of 10 years thereafter, unless we need the data for the assertion of our rights;

We retain data that we process to protect our legitimate interests for a maximum of ten years after the end of the contractual relationship, unless we need the data to assert our rights;

If no employment is found, your application documents will be deleted, destroyed or returned to you after six months.


VII.           Your rights

DATA PROCESSING
As a potentially affected person, you can assert various claims against us in accordance with the applicable national and international law.

If necessary, we will process your personal data again in order to fulfil these claims.


PERSONAL DATA
Depending on the applicable law, data subjects may exercise the following rights:

To request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, information pursuant to Art. 15 DPA or Art. 8 DPA may include information:

about the purposes of processing

the planned storage period

the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection

the existence of a right of appeal

the origin of your data, if it has not been collected by us

as well as the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details.

demand the correction of incorrect or incomplete personal data stored by us without delay (Art. 16 DSGVO, Art. 5 para. 2 DSG)

to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its deletion and we no longer require the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO (Art. 18 DSGVO, Art. 15 DSG).

To receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller (Art. 20 DSGVO).

request the deletion of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 17 DSGVO, Art. 15 DSG).

to revoke your consent once given to us at any time. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future (Art. 7 (3) DSGVO).

object to the processing, provided that your personal data are processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO (Art. 21 DSGVO) and insofar as there are grounds for doing so which arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which will be implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.

complain to a supervisory authority (cf. above) (Art. 77 DSGVO).


VIII.           Up-to-dateness and amendment of this data protection declaration
We reserve the right to amend this data protection declaration at any time or to adapt it to new processing methods.
