Data confidentiality and data security

Any data you enter in the online forms available on this website will be transmitted in unencrypted form. The possibility of data entered by you being lost or viewed by others cannot therefore be ruled out. This means that when entering personal data on our website online, you do so at your own risk.

Any data you enter will be stored on our servers, kept with the utmost care and protected against access by third parties. Within the ZHAW, access to your data is limited to those members of staff who need this for the performance of their duties. We will not disclose any data you enter to third parties.

All the data we collate is used solely for its declared purposes and none of it is disclosed to third parties.

Disclaimer

The ZHAW provides no assurance or warranty that the information made available is current, correct or complete, nor does it guarantee its quality. The ZHAW expressly reserves the right to change this information at any time and without prior notice.

To the extent permitted by law, the ZHAW explicitly disclaims responsibility or liability for any damages, material or otherwise, resulting from access to the information it publishes, the use or non-use of that information, misuse of the online connection or technical deficiencies of any kind. The ZHAW has not checked any of the third-party websites (i.e. websites operating from a domain name other than zhaw.ch) linked to this website via hyperlinks, and can therefore assume no responsibility for their content or for any products and services offered on them.

Tracking Cookies

The ZHAW uses so-called tracking cookies. These record your IP address, the website from which you are visiting our website, the type of browser software you are using and the ZHAW website pages you are viewing, including details of the date and duration of such viewings. The tracking data collected in this way does not enable specific users to be identified, and which individual people have used the website cannot therefore be determined.

Plug-ins from social media platforms

The ZHAW websites use plug-ins from various third-party social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). When you visit a website that contains such a plug-in, it may automatically transmit data to the third parties. If, at the same time, you are logged into the relevant social network, your visit on the website may be assigned to your account, depending on the provider. The ZHAW has no influence over this data transfer.

Information on Facebook's «Like» button

Facebook’s «Like» button is used on our website. If you are a member of Facebook, you can link your Facebook profile to this website stating that you like it.

Facebook is operated by Facebook Incorporated (Facebook Inc.), a company headquartered in the USA. When you visit a website that contains a «Like» button, your browser automatically establishes a connection to the servers of Facebook Inc. This gives Facebook Inc. access to your user data, which may be stored. If you are logged into your Facebook account while visiting our website, Facebook Inc. is also able to assign your user data to your profile.

Once you have clicked on the «Like» button, we no longer have any control over the user data Facebook Inc. collects about you. Further information on the purpose, the extent and the use of the collected data can be found in Facebook’s Data Use Policy.
