General information

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection legislation (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to privacy and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Together with our hosting providers, we do our best to protect the databases against unauthorised access, loss, misuse and falsification.

Please note that the transmission of data over the internet (for example when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registering. In doing so, data such as the pages visited or the names of the files retrieved, the date and the time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being related directly to you as a person. Personal data, in particular your name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing covers any handling of personal data, irrespective of the means and procedures applied, in particular the storage, disclosure, obtaining, deletion, saving, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, and to the extent that the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:

lit. a) processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

lit. b) processing of personal data in order to perform a contract with the data subject as well as to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures.

lit. c) processing of personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of the EU or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.

lit. d) processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

lit. f) processing of personal data in order to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms, fundamental rights and interests of the data subject override them. Legitimate interests are in particular our commercial 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 as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. Where longer retention obligations apply due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict the processing accordingly.

Privacy policy for cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific information relating to the user on the user's device while they are using the website. Cookies make it possible in particular to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyse patterns of site usage, and also to make our offering more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved again when you visit the site once more. If you do not want this, you should set your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies employed for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, above all in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that in that case you may not be able to use all the functions of this online offering.

Privacy policy for SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, 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
• host name of the accessing computer
• time of the server request

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Third-party services

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

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

Google has undertaken to ensure an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the US-European and the US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

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

Privacy policy for the contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact data you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Privacy policy for newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of the data and the email address, as well as to their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe link" in the newsletter.

Paid services

In order to provide paid services, we request additional data from you, such as payment details, so that we can carry out your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly within the website and to give you convenient use of the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want it to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) in order to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google in order to exercise it. Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights in this respect and the settings available to protect your privacy, can be found at: policies.google.com/privacy.

Privacy policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller for the data processing on this website is based outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to below as "Google".

The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offering and to make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under "My data", "personal data".

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "_anonymizeIp();" in order to ensure the anonymised collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in truncated form, so that any reference to a person can be ruled out. Insofar as the data collected about you does have a personal reference, this is therefore excluded immediately and the personal data is deleted without delay.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services relating to website use and internet use. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: deactivate Google Analytics.

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: deactivate Google Analytics. This stores a so-called opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, which means that you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and per computer/device and therefore have to be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.

Privacy policy for the use of Google Web Fonts

To ensure a consistent display of fonts, this website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is 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/

Privacy policy for YouTube

Functions of the "YouTube" service are integrated into this website. "YouTube" belongs to Google Ireland Limited, a company registered and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Your legal agreement with "YouTube" consists of the terms and conditions available at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=GB&template=terms&hl=en. These terms form a legally binding agreement between you and "YouTube" regarding the use of the services. Google's privacy policy explains how "YouTube" handles your personal data and protects your data when you use the service.

Note on data transfers to the USA

Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated into our website. When these tools are active, your personal data may be passed on to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Copyright

The copyright and all other rights to content, images, photos or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or to the specifically named rights holders. The written consent of the copyright holder must be obtained in advance for the reproduction of any files.

Anyone who commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective rights holder may be liable to prosecution and possibly to claims for damages.

General disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We strive to keep our information up to date, accurate and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors cannot be entirely ruled out, which is why we cannot accept any guarantee for the completeness, accuracy and topicality of information, including information of a journalistic and editorial nature. Liability claims for material or immaterial damage caused by the use of the information provided are excluded, unless there is demonstrably intentional or grossly negligent fault.

The publisher may change or delete texts at its own discretion and without notice and is not obliged to update the content of this website. Use of or access to this website is at the visitor's own risk. The publisher, its clients or partners are not responsible for any damage, such as direct, indirect, incidental, specifically foreseeable or consequential damage, allegedly caused by visiting this website, and therefore accept no liability for it.

The publisher also accepts no responsibility or liability for the content and the availability of third-party websites that can be reached via external links on this website. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content. The publisher therefore expressly dissociates itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that violates common decency.

Changes

We may amend this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The version currently published on our website applies. Insofar as the privacy policy is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of any update by email or in another suitable way.
