Privacy policy for Fachübersetzungsdienst GmbH, trading as termbase.
How termbase – Fachübersetzungsdienst GmbH processes personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and the rights you have as a data subject.
The security of your data is important to us
termbase commits itself to treat all transmitted documents and information confidentially and to maintain silence, to the best of its knowledge and belief, about all facts and factual contexts that become known in connection with business relations with our customers. Freelancers are obliged to exercise discretion.
Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of termbase. The use of the internet pages of termbase is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If 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, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to termbase. By means of this privacy policy, our company informs the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller, termbase has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
Definitions
This privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance. We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller
The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific and informed indication of the data subject's wishes, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the data subject signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Any data subject may contact our Data Protection Officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.
Collection of general data and information
The website of termbase collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, termbase does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) to optimise the contents of our website, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is evaluated by termbase both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our enterprise, so as ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
Contact possibility via the website
The website of termbase contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our enterprise as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties.
Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or where this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Rights of the data subject
a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
b) Right of access
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller at any time, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of that information. Furthermore, the data subject has a right of access to the following information: the purposes of the processing; the categories of personal data processed; the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed; where possible, the envisaged storage period, or the criteria used to determine it; the existence of a right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, or a right to object; the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source; and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, together with meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing. The data subject also has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation, and, if so, about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
c) Right to rectification
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement, taking into account the purposes of the processing. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure without undue delay of personal data concerning them, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary: the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing; the data subject objects to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds; the personal data have been processed unlawfully; the erasure is required for compliance with a legal obligation; or the personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered directly to a child. If one of these grounds applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data stored by termbase erased, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller, who will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without undue delay. Where termbase has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase it, termbase will, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, insofar as processing is not required.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies: the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify its accuracy; the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes erasure and requests restriction instead; the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or the data subject has objected to processing pending verification of whether the controller's legitimate grounds override those of the data subject. If a data subject wishes to request restriction of personal data stored by termbase, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
f) Right to data portability
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance, where the processing is based on consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means, provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. In exercising the right to data portability, the data subject also has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of termbase.
g) Right to object
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. termbase will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If termbase processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to such processing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing; if the data subject objects, termbase will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of termbase.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract, is not authorised by Union or Member State law with suitable safeguards, and is not based on the data subject's explicit consent. Where the decision is necessary for a contract or is based on explicit consent, termbase implements suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention, to express a point of view and to contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise these rights, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise this right, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other remedy, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority if they consider that the processing of personal data concerning them infringes the GDPR.
Switzerland — separate terms.
Switzerland is outside the EU and applies its own law (the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP, and Swiss contract law) rather than the GDPR/German civil-law basis above. termbase runs one legal notice for the German/Austrian and one for the Swiss entity split below — do not mix clauses across the two.
The security of your data is important to us
termbase commits itself to treat all transmitted documents and information confidentially and to maintain silence to the best of its knowledge and belief about all facts and factual contexts that become known in connection with business relations with our customers. Freelancers are obliged to exercise discretion.
Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of termbase. The use of the Internet pages of termbase is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, shall always be in line with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revised version, FADP / revDSG), in force since 1 September 2023, and — where personal data of individuals resident in the EU/EEA is concerned — additionally with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, termbase has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

termbase GmbH
Rathausstrasse 14
6340 Baar
Switzerland
Tel: +41 44 586 82 97
Email: admin@fachuebersetzungsdienst.com
Website: www.termbase.com
3. Name and address of the Data Protection Officer
The Data Protection Officer of the controller is:
Robert Wahl
termbase GmbH
Rathausstrasse 14

Switzerland
Tel: +41 44 586 82 97
Email: admin@fachuebersetzungsdienst.com
Website: www.termbase.com
Any data subject may contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of termbase collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, termbase does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for these, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, termbase analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand for statistical purposes and on the other hand for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Contact possibility via the website
The website of termbase contains legal requirements which enable a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or by using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. No disclosure of such personal data to third parties shall take place.
6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or where provided for by the Swiss legislator (in particular the FADP) or another legislator to whose laws or regulations the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a statutory retention period expires, the personal data shall be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
7. Rights of the data subject under the Swiss FADP
The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) grants every data subject the following rights. Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation additionally applies — for example because personal data of individuals resident in the EU/EEA is processed — the corresponding GDPR rights apply in addition.
a) Right of access (Art. 25 FADP)
Every data subject has the right to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed, and to obtain information about that data, including the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the origin of the data where not collected from the data subject, and the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data have been or will be disclosed — in particular where data is transferred abroad, including the country concerned and the applicable safeguards. Access is generally provided free of charge and within 30 days. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
b) Right of rectification (Art. 32 para. 1 FADP)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
c) Right to erasure and restriction of unlawful processing
Unlike the GDPR, the FADP does not provide for a standalone, comprehensive "right to be forgotten". Where personal data are no longer needed, or are processed unlawfully, a data subject may nonetheless invoke his or her personality rights (Art. 28 et seq. Swiss Civil Code) together with the general processing principles of the FADP (Art. 6 FADP: lawfulness, good faith, proportionality, purpose limitation) to object to the processing and request erasure, rectification or restriction. We comply with a justified deletion request without delay, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
d) Right to data portability (Art. 28 FADP)
Every data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a commonly used electronic format, and to request that it be transmitted to another controller, provided the processing is automated and based on consent or is directly connected with the conclusion of a contract. To assert this right, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
e) Right to object and to withdraw consent
Where processing is based on consent, that consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. Beyond this, a data subject may — on the basis of his or her personality rights under Art. 28 et seq. Swiss Civil Code — object at any time to processing that unlawfully infringes his or her personality, for example because it continues despite an explicit objection or breaches the principles of the FADP. To exercise this right, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the controller.
f) Automated decisions in individual cases
As a responsible company, we do not use decision-making based solely on automated processing, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 21 FADP, that produces legal effects for a data subject or significantly affects him or her. Should this change in future, we would inform data subjects accordingly and grant them the right to state their position and have the decision reviewed.
g) Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
The competent supervisory authority for data protection in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC; in German: Eidgenössischer Datenschutz- und Öffentlichkeitsbeauftragter, EDÖB), www.edoeb.admin.ch. Every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the FDPIC if he or she considers that the processing of personal data concerning him or her infringes the FADP.
8. Data protection for applications and in the application procedure
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place by electronic means. This is in particular the case when an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
12. Payment method
termbase does not run a payment checkout on this website — there is no shopping cart, no card entry and no payment button. Once a project is agreed, termbase sends an electronic invoice by e-mail (PDF) and payment follows the term stated on that invoice (see Section 5 · Payment terms); first orders are invoiced in advance. Because no online payment processor is integrated on this site, no payment-related personal data such as card or account details is transmitted to a third party like PayPal through it.
13. Legal basis of the processing
Under the Swiss FADP, processing of personal data is permitted, unlike under the GDPR's exhaustive list of legal bases, as long as it complies with the general processing principles of Art. 6 FADP: lawfulness, good faith, proportionality, purpose limitation, accuracy, and transparency of the processing. Processing is unlawful if it breaches these principles, is carried out against the data subject's express wish, or infringes his or her personality rights without a justifying ground.
Justifying grounds under Art. 31 FADP include, in particular: the data subject's consent; an overriding private or public interest, in particular the performance of a contract with the data subject or pre-contractual measures (for example, enquiries about our translation services); the pursuit of a legitimate business interest, for instance to process, invoice and secure our services; and compliance with a legal obligation, such as tax retention requirements. Where personal data of individuals resident in the EU/EEA is processed, Art. 6 GDPR may additionally serve as the legal basis.
14. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on an overriding legitimate interest under Art. 31 para. 1 FADP, our legitimate interest is the proper conduct of our business for the benefit of the welfare of all our employees and our shareholders.
15. Duration for which the personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of the contract
16. Legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
17. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
This data privacy declaration is based on the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP / revDSG), in force since 1 September 2023. Under the European Commission's adequacy decision of 15 January 2024, Switzerland continues to be recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection; the competent supervisory authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC / EDÖB), www.edoeb.admin.ch. We review this declaration regularly and update it where the applicable law requires.
This is a translation from German. In the event of legal disputes, the wording of the German version shall apply, which can be viewed here.
