The Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG) applies, as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.

Under Swiss data protection law, every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and to protection against misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions. Personal data is treated in strict confidence and is neither sold nor passed on to third parties.

This website is an editorial knowledge hub. Registration is not required to visit the website. When You visit, certain data is processed for technical reasons.

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Where the GDPR applies, we base our processing in particular on Your consent, the performance of a contract, legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in the secure and economical operation of this website.

This website is delivered via Cloudflare Workers (Cloudflare, Inc., USA). For technical reasons, Cloudflare processes IP addresses to deliver the content and to protect against attacks. The servers are located primarily in the EU (Frankfurt). Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

The content is managed via a content management system (EmDash) operated on Cloudflare Workers.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website (Art. 31 para. 1 nDSG).

For security reasons, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the lock symbol in Your browser bar. This means the data You transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

When You access this website, information that Your browser transmits is automatically recorded — such as browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, and the time of the request. This data cannot be attributed to specific persons, and it is not merged with other data sources.

This website partly uses cookies — small text files that make it possible to store specific information on the user's device. Cookies help make the use of the website easier and more user-friendly. You can disable or restrict the setting of cookies at any time in Your browser settings. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time.

We use Alchemy Scribe, our own first-party analytics system (server: opus.alchemy.zuerich), to evaluate website usage. No data is passed on to advertising networks or other third parties. The following is collected in particular:

• page views and time on page
• an anonymous, session-based visitor ID
• device information (browser, operating system, screen size)
• referrer (where You come from)
• scroll depth and click behavior

Legal basis: Legitimate interest in a statistical evaluation of website usage (Art. 31 para. 1 nDSG). Statistics tracking is active by default.

Personalization — such as linking to an email address or cross-session recognition — only takes place with Your explicit consent. You can withdraw Your consent at any time.

For the operation of this website, content management, and analytics, we use Alchemy Labs (Alchemy Zurich) as a processor. Alchemy Labs processes data exclusively on our behalf and according to our instructions.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website (Art. 31 para. 1 nDSG).

This website embeds tools from companies based in the USA (such as Cloudflare). When these tools are active, Your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that, in the view of the competent authorities, the USA is not a third country with a level of data protection comparable to that of Switzerland or the EU. However, the named providers are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

You have the right at any time to:

• access the data stored about You
• rectification of incorrect data
• erasure of Your data
• object to the processing
• data portability in a common, machine-readable format
• withdraw consent given, at any time and without giving reasons

For data protection requests, You can reach us at deinteam@dtl.zuerich.

The copyright and all other rights to content, images, and files on this website belong exclusively to Diagnostisches und Therapeutisches Herzzentrum AG or to the specifically named rights holders. Written consent from the copyright holders must be obtained in advance for reproduction.

We may adapt this privacy policy at any time. The current version published on this website applies.
