Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and to protection from misuse of their personal data. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

We strive to protect our systems and data as well as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (for example, when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website and the associated services, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with this privacy policy. In principle, this website can be visited without registration. In this context, data such as accessed pages or the name of retrieved files, date and time may be stored on the server for statistical and security purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, is collected where possible on a voluntary basis. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent, unless we are legally obliged to do so.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular collection, storage, retention, use, modification, disclosure, archiving, deletion and destruction of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Where and to the extent that the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following legal bases within the meaning of Article 6(1) GDPR:

• (a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
• (b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
• (c) Processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country in which the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.
• (d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
• (f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms and interests of the data subject do not override these interests. Legitimate interests include in particular our economic interest in providing a secure and reliable platform, ensuring information security, enforcing our own legal claims and complying with Swiss law.

We process personal data for as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer‑term retention obligations based on legal or other requirements to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

This website uses only technically necessary cookies. These are small text files that are stored on the user's device and are required for the basic operation and security of the website and platform (for example, to maintain a login session, apply security protections or remember essential settings).

These cookies do not contain any marketing or tracking identifiers and are not used for profiling or advertising.

You can configure your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and allows cookies only in individual cases, excludes the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activates the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Please note that deactivating technically necessary cookies may restrict the functionality of this website and the simmy.org platform.
