With this Privacy Policy, we inform you about the personal data we process in connection with our activities and operations, including our
For individual or additional activities and operations, additional privacy policies, as well as other legal documents such as Terms and Conditions (T&Cs), Terms of Use, or Participation Conditions, may apply.
Responsible for the processing of personal data:
Nina Steiger
Resea Biotec GmbH, Steinacker 15, 4565 Recherswil
We will inform you if there are other responsible parties for the processing of personal data in individual cases.
Personal data refers to any information relating to a specific or identifiable natural person. An affected person is a person about whom we process personal data.
Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, including querying, comparing, adapting, archiving, retaining, retrieving, disclosing, obtaining, recording, collecting, deleting, disclosing, organizing, storing, altering, disseminating, linking, destroying, and using personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz, DSG) and the Data Protection Ordinance (Datenschutzverordnung, DSV).
We process personal data that is necessary to carry out our activities and operations permanently, user-friendly, securely, and reliably. Such personal data may include categories of master and contact data, browser and device data, content data, metadata, and usage data, location data, sales data, as well as contract and payment data.
We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose(s) or as required by law. Personal data that is no longer needed for processing will be anonymized or deleted.
We may have personal data processed by third parties. We may process or transmit personal data jointly with third parties. Such third parties are especially specialized providers whose services we use. We ensure data protection with such third parties as well.
We generally process personal data only with the consent of the affected individuals. If and to the extent that processing is permissible for other legal reasons, we may waive the need for consent. For example, we may process personal data without consent to fulfill a contract, comply with legal obligations, or protect overriding interests.
In this context, we process, in particular, information that an affected person voluntarily provides to us when contacting us – for example, by postal mail, email, instant messaging, contact form, social media, or telephone – or when registering for a user account. We may store such information, for example, in an address book, a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, or similar tools. When we receive data about other individuals, the transmitting individuals are obligated to ensure data protection for these individuals and to ensure the accuracy of this personal data.
We also process personal data that we receive from third parties, obtain from publicly accessible sources, or collect in the course of our activities and operations, to the extent that such processing is permissible for legal reasons.
We process personal data about applicants to the extent necessary for assessing suitability for an employment relationship or for the subsequent execution of an employment contract. The necessary personal data primarily result from the information requested, for example, in the context of a job advertisement. We also process personal data voluntarily provided or disclosed by applicants, especially as part of cover letters, resumes, and other application documents, as well as online profiles.
We generally process personal data in Switzerland. However, we may also disclose or export personal data to other countries, especially for processing purposes.
We may disclose personal data to all countries and territories on Earth and elsewhere in the Universe if the local law, according to the decision of the Swiss Federal Council, ensures adequate data protection.
We may disclose personal data in countries whose law does not ensure adequate data protection if there are other suitable safeguards. Suitable safeguards may include, for example, appropriate contractual agreements, based on standard data protection clauses or other suitable guarantees. In exceptional cases, we may export personal data to countries without adequate or suitable data protection if the special data protection requirements are met, such as the explicit consent of the individuals concerned or a direct connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract. Upon request, we are happy to provide individuals with information about any guarantees or provide a copy of such guarantees.
We grant data subjects all rights in accordance with applicable data protection law. Data subjects have, in particular, the following rights:
We may postpone, restrict, or refuse the exercise of data subjects' rights within the legally permissible framework. We may also inform data subjects about any conditions that may need to be met for the exercise of their data protection rights. For example, we may refuse to provide information based on business secrets or the protection of other individuals, in whole or in part. We may also refuse the deletion of personal data based on legal retention obligations, in whole or in part.
We may exceptionally impose costs for the exercise of rights. We will inform data subjects in advance of any potential costs.
We are obligated to identify data subjects who request information or exercise other rights with appropriate measures. Data subjects are obliged to cooperate.
Data subjects have the right to enforce their data protection rights through legal action or to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
The data protection supervisory authority for private controllers and federal agencies in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Public Transparency Commissioner (EDÖB).
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security commensurate with the respective risk. However, we cannot guarantee absolute data security.
Access to our website is via transport encryption (SSL / TLS, especially with the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, abbreviated HTTPS). Most browsers indicate transport encryption with a padlock in the address bar.
Our digital communication is subject, like all digital communication, to mass surveillance without cause or suspicion, as well as other surveillance by security authorities in Switzerland, the rest of Europe, the United States of America (USA), and other countries. We cannot exert direct influence on the processing of personal data by intelligence agencies, police authorities, and other security authorities.
We can use cookies. With cookies - both first-party cookies (First-Party-Cookies) and third-party cookies used by services we utilize (Third-Party-Cookies) - we are dealing with data that is stored in the browser. Such stored data does not have to be limited to traditional text-based cookies.
Cookies can be stored in the browser temporarily as "session cookies" or for a specific period as so-called permanent cookies. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies have a specific storage duration. Cookies, in particular, allow a browser to be recognized on the next visit to our website, thus, for example, measuring the reach of our website. However, permanent cookies can also be used for online marketing, for example.
Cookies can be deactivated or deleted entirely in the browser settings at any time. Without cookies, our website may not be available in full. We request, at least if and to the extent necessary, explicit consent for the use of cookies.
For cookies used for measuring success and reach or for advertising, a general objection ("Opt-out") is possible for numerous services through the AdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada), the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), YourAdChoices (Digital Advertising Alliance), or Your Online Choices (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance, EDAA).
We can collect the following information for each access to our website, provided it is transmitted by your browser to our server infrastructure or can be determined by our web server: date and time including time zone, IP address, access status (HTTP status code), operating system including user interface and version, browser including language and version, individual subpage of our website accessed including transmitted data volume, last accessed website in the same browser window (referrer).
We store such information, which can also represent personal data, in server log files. This information is necessary to permanently, user-friendly, and reliably provide our website and to ensure data security and, in particular, the protection of personal data - also by third parties or with the help of third parties.
We can use counting pixels on our website. Counting pixels are also called web beacons. Counting pixels, including those from third parties whose services we use, are small, usually invisible images that are automatically retrieved when visiting our website. Counting pixels can capture the same information as in server log files.
We send notifications and messages by email and through other communication channels such as instant messaging or SMS.
Notifications and messages may contain web links or counting pixels that capture whether an individual message was opened and which web links were clicked. Such web links and counting pixels can also capture the use of notifications and messages on a personal basis. We require this statistical measurement of use for success and reach measurement in order to effectively and user-friendly, as well as permanently, safely, and reliably send notifications and messages based on the needs and reading habits of recipients.
You must generally expressly consent to the use of your email address and other contact addresses, unless the use is permissible for other legal reasons. We use the "Double Opt-in" procedure whenever possible for such consent, meaning you receive an email with a web link that you must click to confirm, to prevent misuse by unauthorized third parties. We can log such consents, including IP address, as well as date and time, for evidential and security purposes.
You can generally object to receiving notifications and messages such as newsletters at any time. With such an objection, you can also object to the statistical measurement of use for success and reach measurement. Necessary notifications and messages related to our activities and operations remain reserved.
We send notifications and messages with the help of specialized service providers.
We are present on social media platforms and other online platforms in order to communicate with interested individuals and provide information about our activities and operations. In connection with such platforms, personal data may also be processed outside of Switzerland.
The general terms and conditions (GTC), terms of use, privacy policies, and other provisions of the respective operators of such platforms also apply. These provisions provide information, in particular, about the rights of affected individuals directly vis-à-vis the respective platform, including the right to access, for example.
We use services from specialized third parties to permanently, user-friendly, securely, and reliably carry out our activities and operations. Such services allow us, among other things, to embed functions and content into our website. When such embedding occurs, the used services, for technical reasons, at least temporarily capture the IP addresses of users.
For necessary security-related, statistical, and technical purposes, third parties whose services we use may process data related to our activities and operations in an aggregated, anonymized, or pseudonymized manner. This includes, for example, performance or usage data to provide the respective service.
We use, in particular:
We use services from specialized third parties to access the necessary digital infrastructure related to our activities and operations. This includes, for example, hosting and storage services from selected providers.
We use, in particular:
We use services from selected providers to better communicate with third parties, such as potential and existing customers.
We use, in particular:
We use specialized services for audio and video conferences to facilitate online communication. This allows us, for example, to hold virtual meetings or conduct online lessons and webinars. For participation in audio and video conferences, the respective services' legal texts, such as privacy policies and terms of use, also apply.
We recommend muting the microphone by default and blurring the background or using a virtual background during audio or video conferences, depending on the individual's situation.
We use, in particular:
We use services from third parties to embed maps into our website.
We use, in particular:
We use services from specialized third parties to enable the direct playback of digital audio and video content, such as music or podcasts.

We use, in particular:
We use extensions for our website to access additional features.
We use, in particular:
We attempt to determine how our online offering is used. In this context, we can measure the success and reach of our activities and operations as well as the impact of third-party links to our website. We may also experiment with and compare how different parts or versions of our online offering are used (A/B test method). Based on the results of success and reach measurement, we can fix errors, strengthen popular content, or make improvements to our online offering.
For success and reach measurement, the IP addresses of individual users are usually stored. In this case, IP addresses are generally truncated ("IP masking") to follow the principle of data minimization.
Cookies may be used in success and reach measurement, and user profiles may be created. Any user profiles created may include, for example, the individual pages visited or content viewed on our website, information about screen size or browser window size, and the approximate location. In general, any user profiles created are pseudonymized and not used for the identification of individual users. Some third-party services, where users are logged in, may potentially link the use of our online offering to the user's account or profile with the respective service.
We use, in particular:
We have created this privacy policy using the Privacy Policy Generator from Datenschutzpartner.
We reserve the right to modify and supplement this privacy policy at any time. We will inform about such modifications and supplements in an appropriate manner, particularly by publishing the current privacy policy on our website.
