Randstad (Switzerland) AG (hereafter "Randstad") reserves the right to change, expand, remove or add data and information provided on the website, as well as the Randstad Website and Accounts in part or entirely at any time and without notice. Randstad is not obligated to provide a certain offer.
Randstad does not guarantee continual, encompassing availability of the Randstad Website and job forum, which may be affected e.g. by server faults, public communication network faults, power faults or other circumstances which are not within Randstad's area of influence. Furthermore, Randstad reserves the right to impose temporary service limits due to maintenance work and development upgrades, to the extent that these are necessary for proper or improved operation.

Randstad shall make its best effort to keep the information (such as job notices) current and free of errors, and shall examine these at regular intervals.
2. Optimization of website and information services
To optimize our website and information services, we collect and store data, such as the date and time at which the website was viewed, the website from which you accessed our page, etc. This data is anonymous and does not personally identify the website user. If necessary, user profiles are created using a pseudonym. Again, there is no connection between the natural person and the pseudonym in the collected usage data. We also use cookies to collect and store the usage data (see "Use of Cookies"). We collect this data solely for statistical purposes, in order to further optimize our website and make our internet services even more appealing. The collection and storage of data takes place in an anonymous or pseudo-anonymous form and cannot be traced back to you as a natural person.
If the user does not wish data to be collected during his or her visits to our homepage or when using the account, he/she may object to the collection of user data as described under "Using Analysis Tools".
2.1. Information services (newsletters and information)
If the user has registered for Randstad's information services, their e-mail address and other personal data such as age, region, etc. will be used for the company's own advertising purposes (sending up-to-date information, newsletters, job vacancies, and so on) until the user ends their information services subscription. Randstad can use automated analysis tools to evaluate information about the usage behavior in the newsletters. This evaluation is used to deliver tailor-made content. The user can unsubscribe from the information services at any time.
In this area, Randstad also collects and stores data that is provided to Randstad by the user (registration data upon registration).
2.2. Use of cookies
Randstad uses cookies to increase convenience, in order to ensure you have a positive user experience on our website and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your computer. Most of the cookies we use are deleted from the user's hard drive after the end of the browser session (session cookies). Other cookies remain on the computer and allow Randstad to recognize the user's computer during his or her next visit (persistent or permanent cookies) and thereby provide the user with personalized content.
The user can of course also view Randstad's websites without cookies. If the user does not want Randstad to recognize his or her computer in the future, the user can prevent cookies from being saved on their hard drive by selecting 'Block cookies' in the browser's preferences. The user can refer to the instructions of the browser manufacturer for further details.
The user is cautioned that disabling this feature may result in functional limitations of Randstad's services.
2.3. Use of analysis tools
The use of our services is measured and evaluated using various technical tools. We collect this data anonymously and for purely statistical purposes to enable us to further optimize our website and information services and make them even more appealing. The applicable data protection regulations are adhered to at all times.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files that are stored on the user's computer to help analyze how they use the website. Information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the user is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the event of activated IP anonymization on this website, your IP address is initially truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the agreement in the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is a full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there.
On behalf of this website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by the user in order to compile reports about website activities and provide further services to the website operator related to website and internet usage. The IP address transferred from your browser by Google Analytics will not be linked with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by appropriately setting your browser software. However, please note that in this case, you might not be able to fully use all functions offered by this website. In addition, the user can prevent data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected and processed by Google, by downloading and installing a browser plug-in from the following link.
You can prevent data from being collected by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be activated which will prevent your data from being recorded in the future when you visit this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.
Other implemented Google advertising features
The Google Analytics code implemented on this website supports display advertising. Re-marketing has been activated on this website within the scope of Google Analytics for display advertising. Randstad advertisements are displayed on third-party websites, including Google. Randstad and third parties, including Google, use cookies. The combined use of first-party cookies (e.g. Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (e.g. DoubleClick cookies) allows targeted advertisement displays, advertisement optimization and advertisement displays based on your previous visits to this site. You can use the settings manager to disable Google Analytics for display advertising and customize ads in the Google display network. This site also uses the Google features "Demographics and Interest Reports".
2.4. Use of social plug-ins
Plug-ins for the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA are integrated into our websites. The Facebook plug-ins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the "Like button" ("Like") on our website. When you visit our website, the plug-in establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook is then informed that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the Facebook "Like button" while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our website to your Facebook profile. Facebook will then be able to link your visit to our website to your user account. We draw attention to the fact that we, as the website provider, are not aware of the content of the transferred data and its use by Facebook. Further information can be found in the Facebook's Data Protection Policy at https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.
If you do not wish Facebook to link your visit to our website with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account.
Social plug-ins for the micro-blogging service Twitter, which is operated by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter"), are used on our website. The plug-ins are marked with a Twitter logo, for example in the form of a blue "Twitter bird". When you visit a page of our website that contains a social plug-in, your browser makes a direct connection to the Twitter server. The content of the plug-in is then transmitted directly to your browser by Twitter and is integrated into the website. By integrating the plug-in, Twitter receives a notification that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Twitter profile or are not logged in to Twitter. This information (including your IP address) is transferred from your browser directly to a Twitter server in the USA and is stored there. If you are logged in to Twitter, Twitter can immediately link your visit to our website to your Twitter account. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example if you press the "Tweet" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to Twitter's server and is stored there. The information will also be posted on your Twitter account and displayed to your contacts there. Please refer to Twitter's data protection policy for further details on the purpose and scope of the data collection and further processing and use of the data by Twitter as well as your associated rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy. If you do not want Twitter to directly link the data collected via our website to your Twitter account, log out of Twitter before visiting our website. You can also use add-ons for your browser to completely prevent the Twitter plug-ins from loading, such as the script blocker "NoScript" (https://noscript.net/).
Functions of the "Xing" service, which is operated by XING AG, Gänsemarkt 43, 20354 Hamburg, are integrated into our website. If you activate and use the plug-in, your browser will establish a direct connection to the Xing servers. The content of the plug-in is then transmitted directly to your browser by Xing and is integrated into the website.
By activating the plug-ins, Xing is notified that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Xing, Xing can link the visit to your Xing account.
YouTube
Our website uses YouTube.com plug-ins operated by YouTube, LLC, Cherry Ave., USA and represented by Google Inc. When you visit our website with this type of plug-in, a connection is made to the YouTube servers and the plug-in is displayed on the website by sending a message to your browser. This will inform the YouTube server which of our websites you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of YouTube, YouTube will link this information to your personal user accounts on these platforms. When using these plug-ins, e.g. by clicking on the video or start button or by posting a comment, this information is assigned e.g. to your YouTube user account, which you can only prevent by logging out of your account before using the plug-in.
Please see the privacy policies of the providers for the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of data by the provider as well as your associated rights and settings options to protect your privacy:
