This Privacy Policy applies to our Avobis Group website and the services it provides. The following information does not refer to external websites of other providers that are linked from our site or – vice versa – from which our website is linked.
The use of our website “www.avobis.ch” is basically possible without any indication of personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the person concerned.
By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
As the data controller, the Avobis Group has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as telephone.
As we have our head office in Switzerland and our website is operated from there, the collection, processing and use of your personal data takes place in principle in Switzerland, unless otherwise stated in this data protection declaration. Responsible in the sense of the data protection regulation: “Avobis Group, Brandschenkestrasse 38, 8001 Zurich”.
All data is stored and secured in Switzerland.
Our website “www.avobis.ch” uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser during your next visit.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. Please note that if you deactivate the setting of cookies, all functions of our website may no longer be fully usable.

If you send us enquiries by contact form or by e-mail, your details will be stored on the enquiry form including the contact data you provided there for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up enquiries. We also do not pass on this data without your consent.
Since communication by e-mail does not take place via a secure data connection, please refrain from sending confidential information about it.
For our newsletter dispatch we use the so-called “Double-Opt-In-Procedure”. This means that we will only send you the newsletter after you have expressly confirmed that you want us to activate the newsletter service. We will send you a notification via e-mail, where you confirm by clicking on a link that you would like to receive the newsletter.
The “Avobis Group” informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about the company’s offers. In principle, you can only receive our company newsletter if (1) you have a valid e-mail address and (2) you have registered to receive the newsletter.
If you register for the newsletter dispatch for the first time, for legal reasons a confirmation mail is sent in the “Double-Opt-In-Procedure”. By completing this separate “double opt-in procedure”, you have given your consent for the newsletter subscription.
Should you no longer wish to receive newsletters from us at a later date, you can revoke your consent at any time. A message in text form to the mentioned contact data is sufficient for this. Of course you will also find a unsubscribe link in every newsletter.
The newsletters of the “Avobis Group” contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by us in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of our target group. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
The “Avobis Group” collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing is often carried out electronically (e-mail).
If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant as a result, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision.
