Data Policy
General Information
(1) Below we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website.
(2) The term “personal data” refers, in accordance with Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereinafter referred to as the “General Data Protection Regulation” or “GDPR”), to all data that can be related to you personally. This includes, for example, name, address, email address, and user behavior. With regard to further terminology – in particular the terms “processing”, “controller”, “processor” and “consent” – we refer to the statutory data protection definitions of Article 4 GDPR.
(3) For circumstances that have effects in Switzerland, even if they are initiated outside Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”) also applies. However, we consistently use the terminology of the GDPR. Where the FADP applies, the GDPR terms “personal data”, “processing”, “processor”, “special categories of data” and “data portability” also refer to the corresponding terms under the FADP. In such cases, the statutory meaning is determined by the FADP.
(4) We generally process personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and the content and services we offer. The processing of personal data generally takes place only if you have given us consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or if the processing is permitted by law, in particular by one of the legal bases set out in Article 6(1)(b) to (f) GDPR.
(5) Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this is required by European or national legislation to which we are subject. In such cases, the data will be blocked or deleted once the prescribed retention period has expired, unless further storage is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
(6) Insofar as we use external service providers for individual functions of our website or would like to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you in detail below about the respective processes.

Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. In particular, certain functions require that your browser can be recognized even after navigating to another page. If you have an account, cookies are used to identify you on subsequent visits, so you do not need to log in again each time.

This generally requires the provision of additional personal data, which we need to deliver the respective service. The general principles of data processing described above apply.
(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process these data. These providers are carefully selected and commissioned, bound by our instructions, and monitored regularly. If personal data are transferred to third parties in the context of services we offer jointly with partners, further details can be found in the descriptions of the respective services below.

Online Applications

This may include personal master data (e.g. name, address, date of birth), contact details (e.g. phone number, email address), and data relating to your educational and/or professional background (e.g. certificates, training records, internships, previous employers). These data may be provided via an online application form or through documents submitted by you, such as a cover letter, CV, application photo, certificates or other professional qualification documents. Mandatory data are marked accordingly. Unless a third‑party provider is explicitly named in this Privacy Policy, no data will be transferred to third parties.

Data will not be deleted if further processing or storage is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. In such cases, we have a legitimate interest in further processing and storage; the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data will also not be deleted if we are legally obliged to retain them.
(4) You may revoke any consent at any time and object to the processing of your personal data at any time. In particular, you may withdraw your application at any time.

You may request correction of your stored data at any time.
