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

Personal data refers to any information that relates to a specific or identifiable individual. Processing encompasses any handling of personal data, regardless of methods and means, especially the storage, disclosure, retrieval, deletion, saving, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection laws and, where applicable, in line with the GDPR under Article 6, paragraph 1:

  1. Processing with the consent of the individual.

  3. Processing required to meet a legal obligation.

  4. Processing necessary to protect vital interests.

  5. Processing based on legitimate interests that do not override the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

We process personal data only for as long as necessary for each purpose. If there are statutory or regulatory retention obligations, we restrict the processing accordingly.
