Cookies can be used for various purposes, e.g. to recognise that your access device is already connected to our website (permanent cookies) or to save recently viewed offers (session cookies).

Data security and data protection, communication by email

Your personal data is protected by technical and organisational measures during collection, storage and processing in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication by e-mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security on the transmission path to our IT systems, so we recommend encrypted communication or the postal service for information requiring a high level of confidentiality.

Right to rectification

In accordance with Art. 32 para. 1 FADP, you have the right to demand that incorrectly stored personal data (e.g. address, name, etc.) be corrected, provided that this claim does not conflict with any legal obligation. You can also request the completion of the data stored by us at any time. A corresponding adjustment will be made immediately.

• the data is either no longer required;</li
• the legal basis for the processing no longer applies due to the withdrawal of your consent;</li

Right to cancellation

If you have given us your express consent to process your personal data (Art. 6 para. 6 FADP and Art. 31 para. 1 FADP), you can withdraw this consent at any time.

Pursuant to Art. 49 FADP, data subjects can file a complaint with the supervisory authority if there are sufficient indications that data processing could violate data protection regulations. The supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

If you suspect that your data is being processed unlawfully on our website, you can bring about a judicial clarification of the issue in accordance with Art. 32 FADP. As a rule, an action under Art. 28 ff. ZGB should be sought. If you are affected by the processing of data by federal bodies, the procedure is governed by Art. 41 FADP. You can also contact the FDPIC in this case (see reference to the contact form above).
