  • Amount of data transferred
  • Notification of successful retrieval
  • Browser type and version, operating system

The processing serves the stable operation, security, and optimization of our website. The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a revDPA). Log data is deleted or anonymized after a maximum of six months.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., local storage) to provide the website, enable its functions, and – with your consent – statistically evaluate its use.

Necessary cookies are technically required for the website to function (e.g., storing your language setting or your cookie selection). They are set without consent; the legal basis is our legitimate interest or the fulfillment of a contract.

Optional cookies (e.g., for reach measurement, analysis, or marketing) are only set after your active consent via our cookie banner. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by adjusting your selection in the Cookie Settings.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

5. Tracking with fusedeck

This website integrates the tracking solution fusedeck from cptr AG (hereinafter «cptr»). cptr is a Swiss company based in Zurich that measures the use of this website on behalf of engagements and events. Tracking is anonymous, so no reference can be made to specific or identifiable persons.

7. Recipients of Your Data

Personal data is only passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the provision of our services, if there is a legal obligation, or if you have consented. Carefully selected processors (e.g., hosting, IT service providers, analysis tools) are contractually bound to data protection.

8. Disclosure Abroad

Insofar as we transfer personal data to countries outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA), this only occurs if the recipient country ensures an adequate level of data protection (recognition by the Federal Council or EU adequacy decision) or if we ensure appropriate safeguards, in particular through standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission including supplementary protective measures.

9. Storage Period

We store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes or if a legal retention obligation exists. Thereafter, the data is deleted or anonymized.
