Privacy policy
1. General information and principles of data processing
We are pleased that you visit our website https://labfinder.ch. The protection of your privacy and the protection of your personal data, the so-called personal data, when using our website is an important concern for us.
Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG) state that every person has a right to protection of his or her own privacy and can demand protection against misuse of personal data. This concern is very important to us and is strictly observed.
All data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Swiss data protection regulations. If the GDPR is applicable and relevant, the further explanation of the lawfulness of the data processing will be made according to the following provisions! Do not hesitate to contact us if there are any uncertainties regarding data processing operations.
The new legal requirements by the DSG, the DSV as well as the VDSZ will be comprehensively considered by us at the time of coming into force.
According to Art. 4 No. 1 DS-GVO, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your first and last name, your address, your telephone number, your e-mail address, but also your IP address.
Data for which no reference to your person can be established, such as through anonymization, is not personal data. Processing (e.g. collecting, storing, reading, querying, using, transmitting, deleting or destroying) according to Art. 4 No. 2 DS-GVO always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data must be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any legally required retention obligations to uphold.
