Data protection

The website of Data Quest AG (hereinafter referred to as "DQ Solutions") is subject to Swiss data protection law, in particular according to the Federal Act on Data Protection (DSG), as well as any applicable foreign data protection law such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU). The EU recognizes that Swiss data protection law ensures adequate data protection. Access to our website is via transport encryption (SSL/TLS).

Use of our website

We are very pleased about your interest in our company.

Data protection is of particularly high importance to us. The use of the DQ Solutions websites is generally possible without providing any personal data.


If an affected person wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may be required.


If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, always complies with the legal data protection regulations. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.

DQ Solutions, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, it is open to any affected person to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

2. General information on data processing

We collect and use only the data mentioned in Section 3 when you visit our website initially. Furthermore, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users regularly occurs only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations.

2.1 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Where we obtain consent for the processing of personal data, the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, or, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), or, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, then the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), or, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. Where processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), or, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

2.2 Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Storage may also occur if this is provided for by European or national legislators in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also occurs when a storage period prescribed by the mentioned norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

3. Provision of the website and creation of log files

3.1 Description, Purpose, and Scope of Data Processing

With each visit to our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.


The following data is collected:


The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.


The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow for assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the webpage, or the link to the website to which the user switches, contains personal data.


The data is also stored in the log files of our system. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not occur. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

  • Information about the browser type and the version used
  • The user's operating system
  • The user's IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
  • Websites accessed by the user's system through our website

3.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), or, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3.3 Storage duration

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for achieving the purpose of their collection. In the case of data collection for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.


3.4 Right to object and have the matter rectified

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

4. Use of cookies

These websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, more user-friendly services can be provided to the users of this website, which would not be possible without the setting of cookies. Through a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data every time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the affected person deactivates the setting of cookies in the used internet browser, it is possible that not all functions of our website can be fully used.

4.1 Description, Purpose, and Scope of Data Processing

Our website uses cookies. When a user accesses a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that allows the unique identification of the browser when the website is accessed again. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles. We also use cookies on our website that enable the analysis of users' surfing behavior. In this way, the following data can be transmitted:



The use of analysis cookies is for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus continuously optimize our offer.

  • Entered search terms
  • Frequency of page views
  • Use of website functions

4.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies is the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), or, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4.3 Duration of Storage, Objection and Removal Options

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from there to our site. Therefore, as a user, you also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.


5. Newsletter

5.1 Description, Purpose, and Scope of Data Processing

The newsletter is sent out based on the user's registration on the website or through one of our sales offices (at the request/with the consent of the customer). On our website and in our sales offices, there is the opportunity to subscribe to a free newsletter. During the registration for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. The following information is collected upon registration: title, first name, last name, and the user's email address.


In addition, the following data is collected during registration, which serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used, or to be able to prove your consent:



For the processing of data, your consent is obtained during the registration process and reference is made to this privacy policy. The newsletter is also sent based on the sale of goods or services.


If you purchase goods or services on our website and leave your email address, it may subsequently be used by us to send a newsletter and for marketing purposes. In such a case, the newsletter will only be used to advertise our own similar goods or services.


No data is transferred to third parties in connection with data processing for the dispatch of newsletters. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and for our own marketing purposes.

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of registration

5.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing data after the user subscribes to the newsletter, provided there is user consent, is the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), or, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.


The legal basis for sending the newsletter following the sale of goods or services is the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the Swiss legislation in the area of UWG, or, where and to the extent applicable, § 7 para. 3 UWG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

5.3 Storage duration

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for achieving the purpose of their collection. The user's email address will therefore be stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

5.4 Right to object and have the matter removed

The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the affected user at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.


5.5 Service Providers Used for Newsletter Distribution

This website uses MailChimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. MailChimp is a service that can be used to organize and analyze newsletter distribution. The data you enter to receive the newsletter (e.g., email address) is stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA.


MailChimp has certification under the 'Swiss-US Privacy Shield' as well as the 'EU-US Privacy Shield'. The 'Privacy Shield' is an agreement between Switzerland or the European Union (EU) and the USA, which aims to ensure compliance with Swiss and European data protection standards in the USA.


With the help of MailChimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked, if any. Additionally, technical information is collected (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be attributed to individual newsletter recipients. It is used solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you do not want an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.


Data processing is based on your consent (Federal Data Protection Act [DSG] or, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.


The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and the servers of MailChimp after the newsletter is unsubscribed. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected.


For more details, please refer to MailChimp's privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.


We have entered into a so-called 'Data-Processing Agreement' with MailChimp, in which we obligate MailChimp to protect our customers' data and not to disclose it to third parties. This contract can be viewed at the following link: . https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/sample-agreement/
