General information

Every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions. Your personal data is treated as strictly confidential. In close cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavor to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification. Your security is important to us. That is why the protection of your privacy and your data is very important to us. Below you will find all the information about what data we collect and how or for what we use it.

Processing basis

The basis for data processing is derived from the Data Protection Act. The focus is on processing in direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract (Art. 31 para. 2 lit. a FADP) as well as creditworthiness and debt collection efforts (Art. 31 para. 2 lit. c FADP). Disclosure abroad only takes place in countries with an appropriate level of protection and therefore does not require any further conditions (Art. 16 para. 1 FADP). The various retention periods are based on our legitimate interests, in particular for evidence purposes (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP). The duration depends on the applicable legal provisions.

Categories of personal data

We process the following categories of personal data in particular, depending on the purpose for which we process them:

  • Contact details (e.g. name, address, telephone number, e-mail);
  • Detailed customer information (e.g. projects, contracts, data from project participants);
  • Information on marketing services (e.g. newsletter management);
  • Employee data (e.g. salary, social security details, accounting data);
  • Application management (e.g. CV, diplomas, certificates, reference information)
  • Information on financial connections (e.g. data on bank details, accounting data);
  • Website data (e.g. IP address, date and time of use, browser type, browser information, website use including transmitted information (analysis of user behavior);
  • Data from public sources (e.g. debt collection registers, credit rating directories, commercial registers).

Purpose of data processing
In the course of our activities as a museum, various categories of personal data are processed for various purposes. Your personal data is processed for the following non-exhaustive purposes:

Conclusion and processing of the contractual relationship: Your personal data is primarily processed in connection with the conclusion and processing of contractual relationships with customers and business partners. This includes all services offered by us as well as individually agreed services, in particular the provision of services in the context of exhibition activities.

Communication: We process your personal data in order to be able to contact you and third parties by means of communication (e-mail, telephone, letter).

Marketing and advertising services: We process your personal data for marketing and advertising purposes and for our newsletter if you have consented to this via the newsletter form and as long as you have not explicitly withdrawn your consent at a later date.

Administrative: We process your personal data for administrative purposes. This primarily includes processing for invoicing and accounting or other associated administrative services. We also reserve the right to obtain additional data from third parties if this appears appropriate to us. This mainly involves credit checks and fraud prevention.

Application management: We process your personal data if you apply for a position with us or if your application is included in our pool of interested parties. The data is processed to carry out the application process and with a view to filling and taking up a new position.

 

Operation and analysis of the website: When our websites are accessed, data is stored in log files. This usage data forms the basis for statistical, anonymous evaluations, so that trends can be identified which we can use to improve our offers accordingly. We then process your data to the extent technically necessary to establish the connection you have requested and to deliver the requested content.

 

Disclosure of personal data
We treat your personal data as strictly confidential. However, your personal data may be disclosed to third parties if:

  • you have given your consent,
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or
  • the processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.

We may disclose your personal data to processors in the following categories in order to fulfill your order:

  • Communication service provider;
  • Accounting, fiduciary, financial services manager;
  • Specialists and partner companies;
  • Public authorities, debt collection, courts, legal representatives;
  • Cloud services, including foreign ones.

Unless agreed with you, we only work with processors who provide sufficient data protection and data security guarantees in accordance with the contract or privacy policy or who are subject to confidentiality obligations.

Your data is processed in Switzerland and abroad. Data processing, in particular the data locations, are restricted as far as possible to countries with an appropriate level of protection.

Duration of processing

We store your data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or in accordance with the retention periods under tax and commercial law. After the respective purpose has ceased to apply or this period has expired, we will delete or anonymize your data if you have not consented to its further processing and use.

Application documents from job applicants are scanned and returned, and the corresponding files are stored in our systems. The data will be deleted no later than three months after the decision to fill a vacancy, unless you wish to be included in the pool of interested parties (possibility for us to contact you as soon as a vacancy becomes available).

Data processing in the employment relationship is subject to the contractual provisions and the privacy policy for employees.

Your rights as a data subject

As a data subject, you have various rights in connection with our data processing. You can request information about your stored data and its processing, have incorrect personal data corrected, request the deletion of your personal data, restrict the processing of your personal data – insofar as we are not yet permitted to delete your data due to legal obligations – object to data processing or request the transferability of your personal data to other data controllers at any time.

When you contact us, we reserve the right to identify you (e.g. with a copy of your ID). If the effort required to process your request is disproportionate, we may also charge you a fee of up to CHF 300. You will be informed of this in advance.

If the information is available, we will reply electronically and in PDF format. Otherwise, you will be informed that we do not process any data about you. Your request and our response will be stored by us for two years and then deleted. For evidence purposes, your inquiry will remain in the record during the general statutory limitation period (only with name, date and type of processing).

If you have given us your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future. You can also contact the supervisory authority responsible for you at any time with a complaint.

Fathom Analytics

Since we want to constantly improve our service and our website, we collect anonymized data about the user behavior of our visitors. It is also important to us that you decide for yourself which data you wish to share with us. That is why we show you below this text section whether we record your movements via the respective page.
