General Privacy Policy

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or the name of the file retrieved, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Without your consent, no data will be passed on to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, retention, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR:

a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.

c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.

d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of ourselves or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights as well as interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests include in particular our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer retention obligations arising from legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific information related to the user on the user’s device while using the website. Cookies enable us to determine in particular the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze patterns of page usage, but also to make our offering more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved upon a subsequent visit to the site. If you do not wish this, you should configure your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

Privacy Policy for SSL Encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Privacy Policy for Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request

This data cannot be attributed to specific persons. This data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

Third-Party Services

This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services of the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and consequently data is transferred to Google in the USA, although we assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website in this context.

Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

Privacy Policy for Contact Form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
Privacy Policy for Right to Information, Deletion, Blocking

You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint.
Privacy Policy for Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the transmission of advertising and information materials not expressly requested is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To deactivate Google Analytics, Google provides a browser plug-in at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Google Analytics uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific information related to the user on the user’s device. These enable an analysis of the use of our website offering by Google. The information collected by the cookie about the use of our pages (including your IP address) is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). If anonymization is active, Google shortens IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, which is why no conclusions about your identity are possible. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google complies with the data protection provisions of the “Privacy Shield” agreement and is registered with the “Privacy Shield” program of the US Department of Commerce and uses the collected information to evaluate the use of our websites, to compile reports for us in this regard, and to provide other related services to us.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
