Datensicherheit

Zur Erhöhung der Datensicherheit, ergreift Abena angemessene Sicherheitsmassnahmen. Dies sind zum Beispiel der Schutz gewisser Bereiche der Website durch SSL-Verschlüsselung oder mit Passwörtern sowie die Beschränkung des Zugriffs auf personenbezogene Daten auf Mitarbeiter und Auftragnehmer von Abena, die die Daten kennen müssen, um diese Daten ihrem Zweck entsprechend bearbeiten zu können. Jedoch sollten Sie bedenken, dass keine Internetübertragung jemals 100%ig sicher oder fehlerfrei ist. Insbesondere E-Mails können unsicher sein. Unberechtigte Dritte können möglicherweise auf Ihre Daten zugreifen, die Sie über das Internet versenden. Dies kann dazu führen, dass diese Daten Dritten zugänglich gemacht, offengelegt, inhaltlich verändert werden oder verloren gehen oder es zu anderen Problemen kommt. Auch wenn sich Absender und Empfänger im gleichen Land befinden, können über das Internet gesendete Daten das jeweilige Land verlassen und in ein Land weitergeleitet werden, in welchem weniger strenge Datenschutzanforderungen gelten als in dem Land, in dem Sie Ihren Wohnsitz haben. Abena weist ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass die Datenübertragung im Internet Sicherheitslücken aufweist und der Schutz vor dem Zugriff durch Dritte nicht immer gewährleistet ist. Abena ist nicht für die Sicherheit Ihrer Daten verantwortlich oder haftbar, während diese über das Internet an Abena übertragen werden.

Data Security

To increase data security, Abena takes appropriate security measures. These include, for example, the protection of certain areas of the website through SSL encryption or passwords, and the restriction of access to personal data to employees and contractors of Abena who need to be familiar with the data to be able to work with it based on their specific purposes. However, keep in mind that no data sent over the internet is ever 100% secure or error free. In particular, emails may be non-secure. Unauthorized third parties may be able to access your data that you send over the internet. This may result in this data being made accessible to third parties, disclosed, altered in content or lost, or being subject to other problems. Even if the sender and the recipient are in the same country, data sent over the internet can leave the country and be routed to a country that has less stringent privacy requirements than your country of residence. Abena expressly points out that the transmission of data on the internet has security gaps and that protection against access by third parties is not always guaranteed. Abena is not responsible or liable for the security of your information while it is being transmitted to Abena over the internet. 

Applicable Law and Other Provisions

Certain areas of this website may contain additional terms or conditions. If these are contrary to the Privacy and Use Conditions, the additional provisions shall apply.

Should individual provisions of these Privacy and Use Conditions be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions will not be affected. Instead of the invalid provision, a provision is to be entered which comes as close as possible to the meaning of the invalid clause.

The use of this website and these terms of use are governed exclusively by substantive Swiss law – with the exclusion of norms established by international treaty. The courts in Zurich are exclusively responsible for all disputes arising in connection with this website.
