Data Protection

Personal data is data that can be used to identify you or that we can be traced back to you in some other way. We process certain personal data that you provide to us voluntarily, e.g. when you communicate with us via e-mail, our contact form or other channels, when you ask us to send you materials or invitations to events or when you register for an event. The personal data that we process include your name, postal address, e-mail address, phone number, job title and business address as well as, potentially, those of your employees and representatives.

We use your personal data for managing our relationship with you and for communication purposes, e.g. for the purposes of sending invitations to events and talks, maintaining our contact list or for job applications.

We do not sell your personal data and do not forward it to any third parties. It is only for the purposes of maintaining and servicing our IT systems that our IT provider has access to certain personal data. Our IT provider has signed an agreement, undertaking to process the relevant personal data only on our account and only as instructed by us.v

Both we and our IT providers take suitable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss and unauthorised access. We regularly review our security guidelines and processes to ensure that our systems remain secure.

We will only store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or for as long as we are obligated to do so due to statutory storage requirements.

In order to optimise our website, we use the web analysis tools Matomo and Google Analytics. These tools provide us, in anonymised form, with statistics and images, which give us information about the use of our website. Your user data and IP address are only collected and used in anonymised form.

You have the right to receive information about your stored personal data, to have your personal data corrected, amended, to object to the processing of your personal data or to request that your personal data be deleted.

If you have any questions relating to the processing of your personal data or if you would like to make use of your rights as a data subject, please contact Dr Simone Walther at simone.walther@5001.ch .
