What we do with your data – and what we do not.

For this website, for enquiries and for billing training companies, Mein Lehrwerk Eric is the controller.

For the content a training company records in LEHRWERK – topics, tasks, feedback, records, messages, portfolio – the training company is the controller. We process those data as a processor under Art. 9 FADP, on the company’s instructions and under the contract of use.

No data protection adviser under Art. 10 FADP has been appointed. The Act does not require one for a sole proprietorship of this size. Data-protection requests go to the same place as every other request.

UID

CHE-144.540.265

It applies to visits to https://meinlehrwerk.ch, to the portal https://portal.meinlehrwerk.ch and to correspondence with us, whether you are a vocational trainer, the owner of a training company or an apprentice.

It does not apply to third-party websites we merely link to. Their processing is governed by their own notices.

Where European data-protection law would exceptionally apply – for instance because a data subject is in the EU and we offer them goods or services in a targeted way – we also observe the principles of the GDPR. Our offer is aimed at training companies in Switzerland.

We do not ask for sensitive personal data within the meaning of Art. 5 let. c FADP – such as health data or data about prosecutions. If a company files such information of its own accord in a task or a record, it remains under that company’s responsibility. We do not request it and we do not evaluate it separately.

Website

Technical log data, insofar as the hosting service produces them: truncated or full IP address, time, address called, referrer, browser and device. Plus the consent level you set and, if present, an access token.

Contact

Name, email address, content of the message, occupation, number of apprentices and reason, insofar as you write them to us. None of this is mandatory except the address we can reply to.

Training company

Company name, address, UID if stated, contact person, email or user number, chosen tariff, invoice address and payment status.

Apprentices

Name, apprenticeship year, occupation, username, assigned people in the company. No email address if access is via the login card.

Training

Topics, tasks, work done, feedback, records (often a photo), end-of-day note, messages, dates, training path, portfolio, optional practice (quiz, cards, situation check) and short audio recordings when someone wants to show and explain.

Technical

Login data, session tokens, chosen language, device type insofar as operation requires it. No credit-card data. We do not record video.

Contract

Setting up and running LEHRWERK, access, support, invoicing, adjusting the tariff to the number of active apprentices. The basis is the contract with the training company and its conclusion.

Law

Bookkeeping and retention under Art. 957 et seq. CO, in particular Art. 958f CO (ten years), and – where applicable – the VAT Act. Disclosure to authorities where a statutory duty exists.

Overriding interest

Security of the platform, investigation of abuse and errors, enforcement of claims, improvement of functions on the basis of anonymised or aggregated events. No advertising to third parties, no sale of addresses.

Consent

Measurement of page views only if you chose “Agree”. You may withdraw consent at any time. What was lawfully processed until then remains lawful.

Company’s instruction

Everything apprentices and trainers record in LEHRWERK we process on behalf of the training company. The legal basis towards the apprentice sits with the company – as a rule in the apprenticeship and the training mandate.

We do not sell personal data and we do not pass them on for advertising.

In the product, the company and assigned people see the same thread: tasks, feedback, records. That is the purpose of LEHRWERK, not a disclosure to the outside.

Technical service providers – hosting, storage, email, possibly the bank’s payment traffic – see data only insofar as their mandate requires. With processors we conclude contracts under Art. 9 FADP.

Authorities and courts receive data if a statutory duty or an order requires us to provide them. We do not volunteer reports to third parties, for example to the vocational school or a professional organisation. The company decides that.

LEHRWERK application data – topics, tasks, feedback, records, portfolio – sit on servers in Switzerland.

Delivery of this website and the sending of email may run over infrastructure in Switzerland, in the EEA or, exceptionally, in another state. States with an adequate level of protection are listed in Annex 1 to the Data Protection Ordinance. If that level is missing, we rely on standard contractual clauses or another safeguard under Art. 16 para. 2 FADP.

Storage in the United States is not contemplated for the core training files. Should an auxiliary service see data there – for example an email delivery receipt – it happens only under the safeguards named above.

The website sets the token lw_einwilligung. It stores what you chose at the bottom of the page: the bookmark only, or agreement to measurement. It lasts one year, stays on this device, carries SameSite=Lax and goes to nobody else. The same state may also sit in the browser’s local storage.

“Bookmark only” means: we do not ask again. Page views are not counted. “Agree” means: once a counter is connected, it may record page views. Without that choice, no such script loads. No measurement service is connected at present.

The portal may store the chosen language as a cookie when you arrive with the sprache parameter. That too is a technical token, not a profile.

You change the choice at any time via “Bookmark” in the footer of this page. In the browser settings you can delete cookies; we will then ask again on the next visit.

LEHRWERK can help with wording and suggestions – for example a task, an explanation or a flashcard. Decisions are taken in the company. The AI grades nobody, awards no mark and builds no league table.

There are no automated individual decisions that would have a legal effect on you or a similarly significant impairment (Art. 21 FADP). LEHRWERK does not trigger a qualification procedure, a transfer or the ending of an apprenticeship.

Input you entrust to an assistive function is processed only as far as the suggestion requires. It is not used to train a third-party model on your training files, insofar as we can prevent that contractually and technically.

We do not carry out profiling within the meaning of Art. 5 let. f FADP – the automated assessment of essential aspects of personality.

We store personal data only as long as the purpose or the law requires, and then delete or anonymise them.

Enquiries

Until the matter is closed, then as a rule twelve months. Longer only if a contract or a dispute arises from it.

Contract and invoice

Ten years after the end of the calendar year of the last booking (Art. 958f CO). That applies to business records, not to every photo in the portfolio.

Portal account

For as long as the training company uses LEHRWERK. After the contract ends we export, on request, what the company or the apprentice wants to take, and delete the rest within a reasonable period – subject to statutory retention.

Portfolio

At the end of the apprenticeship it belongs to the apprentice. They can take it as a link or a document. What the company still needs after that is for the company to decide.

Logs

Only as long as operation and security require, as a rule a few weeks.

Consent

One year, or until you change the choice or delete the token.

Art. 8 FADP requires appropriate technical and organisational measures. These include access control, transmission over encrypted connections, separation of each company’s tenancy and a limit on permissions to what a person’s role requires.

Apprentices sign in with the login card: username, password, QR code. The company can issue a new card in a minute. That replaces an email account and keeps the data in the company.

There is no absolute security. Whoever passes on a password or hands over a card opens the access. In the event of a data loss that is likely to result in a high risk to personality, we notify the people concerned and the FDPIC insofar as Art. 24 FADP requires it.

If your request concerns data a training company holds in LEHRWERK, go to the company first. It is the controller. We help it with disclosure, correction or deletion.

• Information as to whether we process personal data about you and, if so, which (Art. 25 FADP).
• Correction of inaccurate data and completion of incomplete data.
• Release of your data in a common electronic format, or transfer to another controller, insofar as the processing is automated and you disclosed the data or they come from the performance of a contract (Art. 28 FADP).
• Deletion or restriction, unless a statutory retention ground or an overriding interest stands in the way.
• Objection to processing based on an overriding interest, and withdrawal of consent with effect for the future.
• Complaint to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Berne.

• FDPIC

Many people who use LEHRWERK are young. The apprenticeship gives the company the right and the duty to lead the training – not us the right to address the person for advertising.

We do not use apprentices’ data for advertising, for a ranking or for a grade. There is no league table and no points visible outside the company.

Photos and audio recordings serve as evidence towards the company: task, carry out, show, feedback. They are training records, not a publication. Sharing outwards – for example a portfolio link after the apprenticeship – is the apprentice’s decision.

If the apprentice is a minor, data-protection requests towards us are as a rule made by the legal representative, insofar as civil law so provides. Towards the training company the rules of the apprenticeship contract and of vocational education apply.

We adapt this text if the law, our offer or the technical processing changes. The version that stands on this page at the time of the processing applies.

A material change – for example a new recipient abroad or a measurement service – will be shown here. We will then obtain consent to measurement again, insofar as the law requires it.
