General Information
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy as well as protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this Privacy Policy.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect databases as effectively as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as visited pages or the names of retrieved files, date, and time may be stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis where possible. Without your consent, no data will be passed on to third parties.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular storage, disclosure, collection, deletion, saving, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data according to the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6(1) GDPR:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
- Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
- Protection of vital interests (Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR) – Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require protection of personal data.
Recruitment and Application Procedures
Application procedures as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR) – Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (e.g., health data such as disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants during the application process so that the controller or the data subject can exercise rights arising from employment law and social security and social protection law and fulfill corresponding obligations, such processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR.
In cases where the protection of vital interests of the applicants or other persons applies, processing is carried out according to Art. 9(2)(c) GDPR. For purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, assessing the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, health or social care, or the management of health or social care systems and services, processing is carried out according to Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR.
In the case of voluntarily provided special categories of data, processing is based on Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR.
When you contact us via email or through a contact form, the information you provide (your email address, and if applicable your name, telephone number), other information you provide, as well as your personal request will be stored and processed to respond to your inquiries or handle your request.
If you send us a speculative application via email or contact form, we will process it in the same way as applications received via our job portal. Your data will be processed in our applicant management system. We use your data for a specific position or, for a necessary period, to offer you (if applicable) relevant open positions that match your professional qualifications. Please note that for security reasons, application documents should not be sent via unencrypted email.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiries or handling your request. If your contact aims to conclude an employment contract, such as in the case of a speculative application, the additional legal basis for processing is the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request. If we include your data in our talent pool, this is done with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
We delete your data after handling your inquiry if storage is no longer necessary, if the purpose of your contact has been fulfilled, if you have objected to the processing, if you have withdrawn your consent, or if we have resolved your matter satisfactorily, unless statutory retention obligations or another legal basis justify further processing.
Application via the Job Portal
In order to submit applications via this job portal, each applicant can enter data as provided in the application form. All entered data will be stored and processed. Your data will, where permitted, be used exclusively for processing your application, and will be processed strictly separately from other data.
Data provided in the application form may include:
- Name, first name
- Contact details
Depending on the job posting, further application documents with personal, including sensitive, data may be submitted, such as photos, cover letters, CVs (with photo), as well as job-related degrees or employment references, which you can provide electronically.
We expressly point out that sensitive data in the application such as information on marital status, health data (except possible disability status disclosed voluntarily), trade union membership, ethnic origin, or religion is expressly undesired. If you nevertheless provide such information as part of your application, this will be considered as given with your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future. Such sensitive data will not be considered when assessing your application.
All data will be stored for the purpose of processing the application procedure regarding your potential employment. This includes communication with you, verification of qualifications and suitability, potential interviews, and assessment of whether an employment relationship will be established.
The stored data will be processed in our applicant management system, to which the HR department, potential responsible line managers, and their deputies have access.
You provide your data voluntarily, and only the data necessary for processing your application will be required (* indicates mandatory fields). All other information is optional.
When you submit a completed application form (including attached files), the content you provide will be transmitted so that it can be recorded in our applicant management system. Before being recorded, this content will be temporarily stored by our hosting provider, DeepCloud AG, Abacus-Platz 1, CH-9300 Wittenbach, so it can then be processed in our applicant management system. This temporary storage takes place in Switzerland and is technically necessary.
All content stored by our hosting provider will be automatically deleted immediately (maximum storage time 15 minutes) if the download and transfer into our applicant management system was successful without error; otherwise, it will be deleted no later than 30 days after the upload of your data and documents to our job portal.
After successfully submitting your application, you will receive an automatic confirmation email that your application has been received via the job portal. If you do not receive this, please contact us at the contact details above or submit your application again.
If you provide references during the application process, we assume that, if these contain personal data, you have obtained the consent of the person concerned for us to process their data. We will only contact references with your separate consent.
The legal bases for processing your data are your consent, where applicable your explicit consent if sensitive data is processed, the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at your request, and our legitimate interest in carrying out an efficient applicant management process.
The wording of possible consents you may give in the application form can be found at the end of this Privacy Policy. Consent granted can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. You may object at any time to processing based on legitimate interests.
If the application process does not lead to employment, we will delete your data after notifying you of the conclusion of the application process, unless a statutory period requires longer retention, we are required to store your data for legal obligations or for the defense or assertion of legal claims. Our legitimate interest in this case may include the need to provide evidence in anti-discrimination proceedings.
If you have consented to further processing of your data, such as inclusion in a talent pool, we will store and process your data according to the consent you have provided.
If the application process results in employment, your data will be incorporated into the personnel records and processed in accordance with the statutory provisions for the employment relationship.
The data you provide to us must be correct, complete, and up-to-date as well as not misleading. Otherwise, this may result in your application not being considered or, after hiring, in corresponding legal consequences.
Disclosure of Data or Access to Data
In certain cases, we disclose your data or grant access to your data. Likewise, for the purpose of carrying out our applicant management process, data may be disclosed or accessed when external service providers process the data on our behalf under a data processing agreement.
We have engaged an external service provider for the temporary storage of data and files from our job portal: DeepCloud AG, Abacus-Platz 1, CH-9300 Wittenbach. This provider processes your data solely for the purpose of transmitting the content from our job portal into our applicant management system and for providing the associated services and functionalities.
All external service providers are carefully selected and contracted by us. They are bound by our instructions and are subject to regular monitoring. They receive data only to the extent necessary to perform the specifically agreed-upon data processing. Upon request, we will provide information about any additional service providers we have engaged.
Any disclosure or other transfer of data to unrelated third parties takes place only if permitted or required by statutory provisions, if it is necessary for fulfilling legal obligations, or if we have your consent.
Publication of Our Job Advertisements on Other Platforms – Data Entry via “Apply with…” Button
In addition to using the job portal on our website, you also have the option of viewing our company’s job advertisements on the following platforms:
- Jobs.ch
- Monster
- Stepstone.de
- Prospective
- Possibly other portals
If you use the link provided in the job advertisement on one of these platforms, you will be immediately redirected to the servers of our website provider. Data processing will then take place to the extent described above.
You can also use our “Apply with…” function buttons. If you already have data stored on another platform, by clicking the respective button, you authorise that platform to transfer this data into our application form. You may review and modify the data in the application form before uploading it.
For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by other platforms, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective providers. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings options to protect your privacy.
Further Processing of Your Data in the Context of the Application Procedure
We process personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purpose(s). Where longer retention obligations arise from legal or other requirements to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
Security Measures
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
These measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to data, as well as the related access, input, transfer, securing of availability, and separation of such data. In addition, we have implemented procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data breaches. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data already during the development or selection of hardware, software, and processes in accordance with the principles of data protection by design and by default.
Transfer of Personal Data
In the course of processing personal data, it may occur that data is transferred to other entities, companies, legally independent organisational units, or individuals, or disclosed to them. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers engaged for IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.
Data Processing in Third Countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if processing takes place in the context of the use of services of third parties or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, entities, or companies, this is done only in compliance with legal requirements.
Unless you have expressly consented or the transfer is contractually or legally required, we process data in third countries only if they have an acknowledged level of data protection, based on contractual obligations through so-called EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, in the presence of certifications, or binding corporate rules (Art. 44–49 GDPR, EU Commission information page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en
Privacy Policy for Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user’s computer. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online service. Stored information can include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the point at which a video was watched. The term “cookies” also includes other technologies that fulfill the same functions (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as “user IDs”).
Types of cookies and functions:
Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser.
Persistent cookies: Remain stored even after the browser is closed, allowing, for example, login status to be saved or preferred content displayed directly when a website is revisited. User interests used for reach measurement or marketing purposes can also be stored in such a cookie.
First-party cookies: Set by us.
Third-party cookies: Set mainly by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
Necessary cookies: Required for the operation of a website (e.g., to store logins or user input, or for security reasons).
Statistics, marketing, and personalisation cookies: Typically used for reach measurement or when a user’s interests or behaviour (e.g., viewing specific content, using functions, etc.) are stored in a user profile. Such profiles serve to display content to users that may match their potential interests (“tracking”).
Legal basis: The legal basis for processing your personal data using cookies depends on whether we request your consent. If we do so and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis is your declared consent. Otherwise, data processed via cookies is based on our legitimate interests or, if cookies are necessary, on the fulfilment of our contractual obligations.
Storage duration: Unless we explicitly state otherwise (e.g., in the context of a cookie opt-in), the storage duration of persistent cookies can be up to two years.
Withdrawal and objection (opt-out): You can revoke your consent or object to processing by cookie technologies at any time (referred to as “opt-out”). You may express your objection via your browser settings (e.g., disabling cookies, which may limit the functionality of our online offering). Objection to cookies used for online marketing can also be made through various services, especially for tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
Cookie consent management: We use a cookie consent management procedure that allows users to grant, manage, and withdraw their consent to the use of cookies. This consent is stored to avoid repeated requests and to provide proof of consent as required by law. Storage may occur server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie). The duration of consent storage can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user ID is created and stored with the time of consent, the scope of consent (e.g., which cookie categories and/or providers), and the browser, system, and device used.
Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).
Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser’s address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

This data is not attributable to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently check this data if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.
Third-Party Services
This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.
These services from the US-based Google LLC use cookies and thus data is transmitted to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking occurs solely through the use of our website.
Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the EU–US and Swiss–US Privacy Shield frameworks.

Paid Services
For the provision of paid services, we request additional data, such as payment information, to process your order or assignment. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.
Use of Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps service. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to conveniently use the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in, or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button.
Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact Google.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, as well as further information on your related rights and settings options to protect your privacy, can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
Use of Google reCAPTCHA
This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, "Google"). This query is used to distinguish whether the input was made by a human or by automated machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, the European Commission has implemented an adequacy decision, the "Privacy Shield." Google participates in the "Privacy Shield" framework and has submitted to its requirements. By clicking on this link, you consent to the processing of your data. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the revocation.
Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and the associated privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
Privacy Policy for Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google."
Using the statistics obtained, we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under "My Data", "Personal Data".
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are shortened and processed further, thus preventing any personal reference. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide the website operator with other services related to website activity and internet usage. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Disable Google Analytics.
You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will create a so-called opt-out cookie.
This prevents Google Analytics from processing personal data. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted. This means that you must set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set for each browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.
Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Web Fonts
This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.

LinkedIn Privacy Policy
We use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn, owned by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland ("LinkedIn"), within our online offering.
These services use cookies, i.e. text files stored on your computer. This enables us to analyze your use of the website. For example, we can measure the success of our ads and show users products they were previously interested in.
This collects information about the operating system, the browser, the website you previously visited (referrer URL), which websites the user visited, which offers the user clicked on, and the date and time of your visit to our website.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transferred to a LinkedIn server in the USA in pseudonymized form and stored there. LinkedIn does not store the name or email address of the respective user. Instead, the above-mentioned data is only assigned to the person for whom the cookie was created. This does not apply if the user has allowed LinkedIn to process data without pseudonymization or has a LinkedIn account.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also object to the use of your data directly with LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

Audio and video conferences
We use audio and video conference services to communicate with our users and other individuals. In particular, we can use them to conduct audio and video conferences, virtual meetings, and training courses such as webinars.
We only use services that guarantee adequate data protection. In addition to this privacy policy, any terms and conditions of the services used, such as terms of use or privacy policies, also apply.

Zoom also grants the rights under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to users in Switzerland.

Note on data transfer to the USA
Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
