Privacy Policy
General
In this privacy policy, we inform you about how we collect and process personal data. We handle your personal data responsibly and in accordance with the requirements of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG). We are exclusively subject to the Swiss DSG.
Collection of Access Data and Log Files when Visiting Our Website
When using our website, no personal data is collected. As with any connection to a web server, the server we use automatically logs and stores certain technical data (known as server log files). These log files store various information, such as the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, transmitted data volume, message about successful retrieval, browser type (including version), user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider. Log file information is collected and stored for security reasons (e.g., for investigating abuse or fraudulent activities) and kept as long as necessary for evidentiary purposes. These are anonymous data that do not provide any indication to identify you.
References and Links
We do not assume any liability for direct or indirect references to third-party websites (through so-called hyperlinks) that are outside our area of responsibility. We expressly declare that at the time of setting the link, no illegal content was recognizable on the linked pages. We have no influence on the current and future design, content, or authorship of the linked/associated pages. Therefore, we expressly distance ourselves from all contents of all linked/associated pages that have been changed after our link was set.
Handling of personal Data
We process personal data that you provide to us. When you contact us via email or phone to inquire about our services or apply with us, we store the information you transmit to us. This regularly includes personal data, such as first name, last name, email address, and telephone number, information about your role in the institution you work for or on whose behalf you contact us, and, if relevant, your family circumstances. When you apply with us, we record your CV and other information in your application dossier.
We primarily collect and process your personal data to provide our services professionally and in accordance with our contractual and legal obligations, to document them, and to bill our efforts properly. We process personal data about you that we receive from third parties. “Third parties” can include courts, authorities, opposing parties and their legal representatives, or business partners. In order to represent you effectively and responsibly, it may also be necessary for us to collect information about you from publicly accessible registers (e.g., commercial register, land register), websites, or platforms or to obtain information from the institution you work for. References are only obtained in the application process if you have given prior consent. To fulfill our mandate and within the scope of our internal organization, it may be necessary for us to share your personal data with third parties: such as authorities and courts, opposing parties and their legal representatives, your business partners with whom we need to coordinate our mandate, and external service providers.
Storage Duration of your Data
We store your personal data only to the extent and for as long as necessary for the provision of our legal services, the fulfillment of legal obligations (especially retention obligations), or for other purposes described in this privacy policy. We will delete your data wherever and whenever required by applicable law. Currently, your data is primarily stored on our server. Additional data backup is done with a corresponding service provider in Switzerland. However, we reserve the right to use a comprehensive cloud software solution in Switzerland or abroad in the future. For more information regarding data storage with third-party tools, refer to this privacy policy.

Cookies
We use cookies on our website to measure information about the usage and reach of our website. This is done based on a legitimate interest (optimizing our online offering and the associated user experience). Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. This gives us the opportunity to make our offering more user-friendly. Cookies are stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be accessed again when you revisit the site. You can deactivate or individually allow/block the use of cookies on our website and/or third-party websites at any time in your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may result in you not being able to use certain features of our (and other) sites to the same extent.
SSL Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send us as the site operator, this site uses SSL 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. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Use of Google Tag Manager
Within our website, we use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Inc. In the European region, the responsible company is “Google Ireland Limited” based in Ireland. Using Google Tag Manager, we manage various code snippets from different tracking tools. These code snippets are referred to as “tags” in the technical jargon. These mostly come from Google products such as Google Ads and GA4, but social media tags (such as Pinterest and Facebook) can also be managed within the Tag Manager. These tags collect browser data, set cookies, or can track users across websites. We use the Tag Manager in our company to manage and control these code snippets in a central location. The Tag Manager itself does not set cookies or store data; it practically serves as a manager for the tags contained in it. The data is collected by the individual tags being managed. You can find out what data these respective tags collect from the sections for the different tools in this privacy policy. The data stored by Google in this context is mostly located on Google’s own servers, which are distributed worldwide. However, most of them are located in the USA. You can find out where the servers are located at the following link: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/?hl=de
Use of Google Analytics 4 (GA4)
Our website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). GA4 uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific information related to the user on the user’s end device. These enable an analysis of the usage of our website by Google. The information generated by the cookie about the usage of our pages (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on our website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymization is active on our website. We use the data collected by GA4 to create analyses of user behavior and experiences and optimize our website and improve the user experience on our website as a result. The collected data is treated confidentially at all times and is not passed on to third parties. You can deactivate the use of GA4 by installing a simple browser add-on at any time. You can find the add-on at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/?hl=de.
Use of Google Maps
We use the Google Maps mapping service on our website. The provider is also Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). To use the functionalities of Google Maps, Google stores your IP address and your geolocation. We have no influence on this data transmission. The use of Google Maps is intended to help our customers find our physical location more easily. For more information on how Google handles your user data, please refer to their privacy policy:

Use of Google Ads
Within our website, we use Google Conversion Tracking. This means that if you access our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after a predefined period and do not serve for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website again and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected from it. Cookies vary depending on the customer; each one receives an individual one. With this conversion (cookie) tracking, we learn the total number of users who clicked on an ad and were redirected to a corresponding page. However, we do not receive any personal information, so you cannot be identified as an individual. If you do not wish to be tracked, you can set a Do Not Track cookie or configure your browser to block cookies from specific domains.
