Privacy Policy

The ETH Career Center and Telejob (Sonneggstrasse 33, SOL B6, 8092 Zurich) operate the website www.eth-gethired.ch (hereinafter referred to as ETH get hired). On this website you can find information about our organisation, use our online services and contact us. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we inform you in this data protection declaration which data ETH get hired collects, processes and discloses from visitors and users of www.eth-gethired.ch and for what purpose within the framework of the applicable data protection regulations, and which measures have been taken to ensure the security of this data.

1.Subject of data protection

Data protection serves to protect personal rights. It obliges data processors to act lawfully and gives data subjects enforceable rights with regard to the processing of their personal data. According to § 3 of the Law on Information and Data Protection of the Canton of Zurich (IDG ZH), personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. This includes, for example, information such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail or IP address.

 

2.Data collection, processing, storage

Each time our website is accessed, information is stored in a log file by our hosting provider Switch AG, Zurich (Switzerland). These so-called log files contain information about the date and time of the website visit, accessed files or pages, status codes and system information such as browser, operating system and language and version of the browser interface. This data does not allow any direct conclusions to be drawn about the specific person.
IP addresses are also stored in log files. For us, these cannot be easily assigned to a specific person.
If you wish to view our website, we collect the aforementioned data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security.
This data is processed for the following purposes:


- Ensuring the network infrastructure and technical administration
- optimising the use of certain web offers
- Identification and tracking of unauthorised access attempts.


The web server log files are stored for a period of 6 months from the end of the access. After this period, the web server log files are automatically deleted, unless a detected attack on our network infrastructure leads to civil or criminal prosecution of the attacker and thus makes further storage necessary.

 

3.Consent to further use of data

The use of certain offers on eth-gethired.ch (e.g. newsletters, contact forms, web applications) may require further collection, processing and longer-term storage of personal data such as name, address or e-mail address. In order to use these offers, you must agree to the General Terms and Conditions (GTC). The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, simply send us a message by e-mail (info@eth-gethired.ch). The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

4.Disclosure of personal data

Personal data will only be disclosed to third parties (e.g. to other authorities) if this is required by mandatory legal provisions (e.g. official requests, court orders) or for the purpose of legal or criminal prosecution (e.g. in the event of attacks on the ETH get hired network infrastructure). Disclosure to third parties for other purposes does not take place (exception see below point 9: Use of Google Web Fonts and point 10. Integration of Google Maps).
Notwithstanding this, ETH get hired may commission service providers to further process the data collected via eth-gethired.ch for the above-mentioned purposes. ETH get hired and the commissioned third-party service providers are obliged by means of legal, technical and organisational measures to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

Furthermore, it may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, is integrated within this online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform the users about it.
By using the eth-gethired.ch offers, you agree to the use of Google services (Google Web Fonts, Google Maps and You Tube) and thus also to the disclosure of data to the Google service. Please note that Google has a different data protection practice than ETH get hired. More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

 

5.Tracking settings

Our website uses Google Analytics, a service provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; both together "Google", whereby Google Ireland Ltd is responsible for the processing of personal data. Google uses cookies, which are stored on your device and enable an analysis of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We have added the code "anonymizeIP" to Google Analytics. This ensures that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google evaluates the collected data on our behalf so that we can form a picture of the visits and user behaviour on our website. This enables us to improve our services and the website content as well as its design.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting the settings in your browser accordingly (see our comments on cookies). You can deactivate Google Analytics by downloading and installing the Google browser add-on.

We use the Google Tag Manager on our website. This collects data about user behaviour on our website and forwards it to our analysis tools. Google Tag Manager does not have access to the data, it only collects the data. Since Google Tag Manager does not process any personal data, please refer to the explanations on the respective tracking services and the usage guidelines of Google Tag Manager. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Global Site Tag (gtag.js) is a tag management system developed by Google. It is used to track and manage data such as traffic, sales, conversions and more through a single line of code. It allows businesses to implement tracking tags for various purposes, such as Google Ads, Google Analytics and more.

The US Privacy User Signal Mechanism is used on a website to allow users to give or withhold consent for the processing of their personal data. This mechanism can be implemented in different ways, e.g. through an opt-in or opt-out system that allows the user to choose which data can and cannot be processed.

 

6.Cookies

When calling up www.eth-gethired.ch, so-called temporary cookies may be used. These are small files that are stored on your computer by the ETH get hired website you are visiting for the purpose of enabling optimum use of the web pages. You can generally prevent the use of such cookies by making the appropriate settings in the web browser you are using. However, we would like to point out that rejecting, blocking or deactivating cookies may lead to restrictions in the function of ETH get hired.

 

7.Cross-references (links) to websites of other providers

This data protection declaration applies only to web pages on ETH get hired.. Insofar as access is provided to the content of other providers via links, we would ask you to observe their data protection declarations. ETH get hired is not responsible for the content or the data protection practices of these other providers. In particular, ETH get hired cannot guarantee that the content of other providers is free of malware.

 

8.Use of social media plugins

No additional programmes in the form of so-called "social media plugins" are used on eth-gethired.ch, which transmit IP addresses directly to the providers of social networks. The control elements of the graphical user interfaces (so-called "buttons") visible on eth-gethired.ch are exclusively links to the corresponding providers of social networks.

 

9.Google Web Fonts

For the uniform display of fonts, we use Google Web Fonts on eth-gethired.ch. The required web fonts are loaded from the server by your browser when you call up eth-gethired.ch in order to display the texts and fonts correctly. In doing so, your browser establishes a connection to Google's servers, whereby Google becomes aware that eth-gethired.ch is being visited by an end device with your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts and the associated data processing serve our interest in a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq.

 

10.Integration of Google Maps

eth-gethired.ch uses the Google Maps product to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors' use of the map functions. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we indicate on the website.


By using eth-gethired.ch, you consent to the collection, processing and use of automatically collected data by Google Inc, its agents and third parties. The terms of use of Google Maps can be found under "Terms of use for Google Maps".

 

11.Integration of YouTube videos

 

We have embedded YouTube videos on eth-gethired.ch, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from eth-gethired.ch. YouTube is a service of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, which belongs to the Google Group. These videos are integrated in "extended data protection mode", i.e. no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned in the next paragraph be transferred. We have no influence on this data transfer.
By visiting eth-gethired.ch, YouTube receives the information that you have called up the corresponding sub-page of eth-gethired.ch. This takes place regardless of whether you have a YouTube or Google user account and whether you are logged in there or not.

If you are logged in to YouTube or Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or designing its website to meet your needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

 

12.Security

ETH get hired employs technical and organisational security measures to ensure that the data it collects and processes via eth-gethired.ch,


- remains confidential and is protected from accidental or unlawful access, alteration or disclosure and from loss or destruction; and
- access to the data is granted exclusively in accordance with the principle of necessity ("need-to-know") to those persons who need to access the personal data due to their function and task.

The measures to be taken depend on the type of information, the type and purpose of use and the respective state of the art.

 

13.Validity

ETH get hired reserves the right to change the data protection declaration at any time with effect for the future, should the implementation of new technologies or the legal situation make such an adjustment necessary. We therefore recommend that you review the privacy policy regularly.
