General information on data processing 
For the purposes of this policy, "personal data" or "personal information" means information that personally identifies you, such as your name, address, date of birth, telephone number or e-mail address. 

In principle, we only process our users' personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and to present products and/or services. The personal data will be deleted or locked as soon as the purpose of its use no longer applies.

Our server automatically saves information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are 

  • Browser type and browser version 
  • Operating system used 
  • Referrer URL 
  • Host name of the accessing computer 
  • Time of the server request 
  • IP address 

This data is not merged with other data sources. 


Applicants
 
When you apply for a job at our company, we process the personal data that we receive from you as part of the application process. In addition to your personal details, education, work experience and skills, this includes the usual correspondence data such as e-mail address and telephone number. In addition, all documents submitted by you in connection with your application, such as your CV and references, will be processed. This data will only be stored, evaluated, processed or forwarded internally as part of your application. It may also be processed for statistical purposes (e.g. reporting). In this case, it is not possible to draw conclusions about individual persons. 

If we conclude an employment contract with you, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the application procedure ends without employment, your data will be deleted unless you have given us your consent to use your details for further application procedures with us and, if necessary, to contact you again.

When you contact us (e.g. by e-mail or telephone), the personal data you provide will be processed by us in order to answer your inquiry and to contact you. 


Disclosure of personal data
 
We will not sell, share or otherwise disclose your information to third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy. We may engage third parties to provide certain website services and offers listed below on our behalf. In doing so, these third parties may have access to your data as data processors. The third parties will, therefore, process your data exclusively in the interests of and on behalf of Schnetzer Puskas Ingenieure and only for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. 

These recipients are mainly located in Switzerland, but may also be located outside Switzerland. In particular, you must expect your data to be transferred to all countries in which Schnetzer Puskas Ingenieure is represented by branches or other offices, as well as to other countries in Europe and the USA where the service providers we use are located (e.g. Microsoft, Google). If we transfer personal data to a country without adequate legal data protection, we take suitable precautions to continue to protect your personal data appropriately (e.g. by agreeing so-called EU standard contractual clauses) or rely on the statutory exceptions such as consent, contract processing or the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims.
