GENERAL
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties 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 pages called up or names of files called up, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly related to your person. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. The processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, transfer, procurement, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject and to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject do not prevail. The legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from ""http://"" to ""https://"" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

ADMINISTRATION, Financial Accounting, etc.
We process data in accordance with the data protection regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the EU GDPR in the context of administrative tasks and the organization of our operations, financial accounting and the fulfillment of legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process within the scope of providing our contractual services. The basis of processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, fulfill our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the data mentioned in these processing activities.

In this context, we disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax consultants or auditors, as well as other honorary bodies and payment service providers.

In addition, due to our business interests, we store information about suppliers, event organizers and other business partners, e.g. for later contact purposes. This mostly company-related data is usually stored permanently.

STATUTORY ACTIVITIES
We process the data of our members, sponsors, interested parties, customers or other persons in accordance with the data protection regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU-DSGVO according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b. DSGVO, insofar as we offer them contractual services or act within the framework of existing business relationships, e.g. towards members, or are recipients of services. In addition, we process the data of the persons concerned in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests, e.g. when it comes to administrative tasks or public relations the necessity of their processing results from the underlying contractual relationship. This basically includes inventory and master data of persons (e.g. name, address etc.) as well as contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone etc.), contract data (e.g. services used, content and information provided, names of contact persons) and , if we offer paid services or products, payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history, etc.).

We delete data that is no longer required to achieve the statutory purposes. This depends on the respective tasks and contractual relationships. In the case of business transactions, we keep the data for as long as they may be relevant for business transactions and with regard to any warranty or liability obligations. The necessity of storing the data is checked at irregular intervals. Otherwise, the statutory retention requirements apply.

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 obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against it. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing operations.

CHANGES
We may change this privacy policy at any time without notice. The current version published on our website applies. Insofar as the data protection declaration is part of an agreement with you, in the event of an update we will inform you of the change by e-mail or other suitable means.

DISCLAIMER
The author assumes no liability for the correctness, accuracy, timeliness, reliability and completeness of the information.
Liability claims against the author for material or immaterial damage resulting from access to, use or non-use of the published information, misuse of the connection or technical faults are excluded.

All offers are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice or to temporarily or permanently cease publication.

BINDING VERSION OF THIS DOCUMENT
In the event of contradictory statements or doubt arising from translations on this website, the German version always applies.
