IN SAFE HANDS

Data protection

We at the VAP make every effort to pro­tect the per­so­nal data of our mem­bers and part­ners. For this reason we under­ta­ke to com­ply with both the Swiss Fede­ral Act on Data Pro­tec­tion (FADP/DSG) and the Euro­pean Union’s new Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­ti­on (GDPR). The lat­ter has been in force since 25 May 2018.

We have set down the most important points rela­ted to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data in accordance with the GDPR in this data pri­va­cy policy:

 
Contents of our website

The asso­cia­ti­on does not assu­me any lia­bi­li­ty for the cur­ren­cy, accu­ra­cy, com­ple­ten­ess, or qua­li­ty of the infor­ma­ti­on pro­vi­ded. Lia­bi­li­ty claims against the asso­cia­ti­on on the basis of mate­ri­al or imma­te­ri­al dama­ge resul­ting from the use or disu­se of the infor­ma­ti­on pro­vi­ded and/or the use of incor­rect and incom­ple­te infor­ma­ti­on are excluded unless the asso­cia­ti­on has acted with gross negli­gence or willful intent. All quo­tes are sub­ject to con­fir­ma­ti­on and are non-bin­ding. The asso­cia­ti­on express­ly reser­ves the right to chan­ge, add to, or dele­te parts or the enti­re­ty of the site wit­hout prior noti­ce, or to take it down tem­po­r­a­ri­ly or permanently.

References and links

In the case of direct or indi­rect refe­ren­ces or links to exter­nal web­sites (“hyper­links”) which lie out­side the association’s area of respon­si­bi­li­ty, lia­bi­li­ty will only be assu­med if the asso­cia­ti­on had know­ledge of the con­tent and it was tech­ni­cal­ly pos­si­ble and not unre­asonable for it to pre­vent its use if con­tent was ille­gal. The asso­cia­ti­on her­eby express­ly decla­res that no ille­gal con­tent was reco­gnizable on lin­ked web­sites at the time the link was set. The asso­cia­ti­on has no influence on the cur­rent or future design, con­tent, or aut­hor­ship of lin­ked sites and the­r­e­fo­re express­ly dis­avows all con­tent of lin­ked sites that has been chan­ged since the links were set. This appli­es to all links set within this web­site as well as to exter­nal ent­ries made in guest books, dis­cus­sion forums, lists of links, mai­ling lists, and data­ba­ses in any other form set up by the asso­cia­ti­on whose con­tents exter­nal par­ties have write access to. The pro­vi­der of the lin­ked web­site alone is lia­ble for ille­gal, incom­ple­te, or incor­rect data, and in par­ti­cu­lar for dama­ge ari­sing from the use or disu­se of such infor­ma­ti­on, and not anyo­ne who mere­ly makes refe­rence to the publi­ca­ti­on in ques­ti­on via web­site links.

Copyright and trademark law

The asso­cia­ti­on makes every effort to obser­ve the copy­rights on the images, audio docu­ments, video sequen­ces, and texts used; to use images, gra­phics, audio docu­ments, video sequen­ces, and texts it has crea­ted its­elf; or to use licen­se-free gra­phics, audio docu­ments, video sequen­ces, and texts. All brands and trade­marks men­tio­ned on the web­site and pos­si­bly pro­tec­ted by third par­ties are sub­ject wit­hout rest­ric­tion to the pro­vi­si­ons of the trade­mark law valid at that time and to the regis­tered proprietor’s rights of owner­ship. It does not fol­low that trade­marks are not pro­tec­ted by third party rights sim­ply becau­se they are refer­red to. The copy­right for published con­tent crea­ted by the asso­cia­ti­on its­elf remains exclu­si­ve­ly with the asso­cia­ti­on. Repro­duc­tion or use of such gra­phics, audio docu­ments, video sequen­ces, and texts in other elec­tro­nic or print publi­ca­ti­ons is not per­mit­ted wit­hout the express con­sent of the association.

Legal validity of this disclaimer of liability

This dis­clai­mer must be con­side­red as a part of the web­site on which a refe­rence is made to this page. Should parts or indi­vi­du­al wor­dings of this text not, not fully, or no lon­ger cor­re­spond to the cur­rent legal situa­ti­on, the con­tents and vali­di­ty of the remai­ning parts of the docu­ment remain unaffected.
