Data security

All personal information that you entrust to us and that you enter on the SKBF | CSRE  website will not be disclosed to anyone outside the Swiss Coordination Centre for Research in Education.

All of the systems we use to store your customer data are password-protected. The transmission of data to and from the browser is also encrypted using state-of-the-art technology; the certificate is recognised by all common browsers.

Most of the cookies we use are known as session cookies. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.

You can set your browser so that you are notified when cookies are saved and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, refuse cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser.
