GENERAL INFORMATION

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

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as effectively as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.

We would, however, point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to protect data completely against access by third parties.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without having to register first. Data such as, for example, pages accessed or the name of the file accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, but without allowing you to be identified personally. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. The 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 individual. A data subject is a person about whom personal data are being processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

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

  • (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 in order to take appropriate steps prior to entering into a contract;

  • (c) processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable EU law or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part;

  • (d) processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;

  • (f) processing of personal data in order to protect the legitimate interests pursued by us or by third parties, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject. Legitimate interests are 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-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

This website uses cookies. These are small text files which make it possible to store specific information relating to the user on the user's device while he or she is using the website. In particular, cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyse behaviour patterns of page use, but also to make our website more customer-friendly. Cookies continue to be stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when the user revisits the site. If you do not wish this to happen, you should set your internet browser to refuse to accept cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for many of the services, especially 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 achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functions of this online offer can then be used.
 

PRIVACY POLICY FOR SSL/TLS ENCRYPTION

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as, for example, enquiries that you send us as the site operator. You can recognise 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.

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

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, which are provided by Google LLC in America, use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the USA, although we assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context solely through the use of our website.

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

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

GOOGLE ADS

This website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Ads will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is placed on the user’s device when he or she clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies are no longer valid after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this site. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers can discover the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a site tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to the necessary cookie being placed on your computer - for example, by means of a browser setting that generally disables cookies or by setting your browser in such a way that cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com" are blocked.

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies during the entire period that you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you will have to set the respective opt-out cookie again.
 

PRIVACY POLICY FOR GOOGLE ANALYTICS

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

The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offer and 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 via 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) (1) (f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be 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 anonymised collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, which means that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you is related to a person, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. 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 verwendet Cookies. Die durch den Cookie erzeugten Informationen über Ihre Benutzung dieser Website werden in der Regel an einen Server von Google in den USA übertragen und dort gespeichert. Sie können die Speicherung der Cookies durch eine entsprechende Einstellung Ihrer Browser-Software verhindern; wir weisen Sie jedoch darauf hin, dass Sie in diesem Fall gegebenenfalls nicht sämtliche Funktionen dieser Website vollumfänglich werden nutzen können. Sie können darüber hinaus die Erfassung der durch das Cookie erzeugten und auf Ihre Nutzung der Website bezogenen Daten (inkl. Ihrer IP-Adresse) an Google sowie die Verarbeitung dieser Daten durch Google verhindern, indem sie das unter dem folgenden Link verfügbare Browser-Plugin herunterladen und installieren: Deactive Google Analytics.

Furthermore, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactive Google Analytics. This will save a so-called opt-out cookie on your data carrier, 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, i.e., you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.
 

GOOGLE TAG MANAGER

Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate, e.g., Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offer. The tag manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of users. With regard to the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the following information on Google services. Usage guidelines:https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
