General Information

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the 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 confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as much as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. In doing so, data such as pages accessed or the names of retrieved files, the date, and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, particularly names, addresses, or email addresses, are collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. No data will be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data refers to all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, including but not limited to storing, disclosing, acquiring, deleting, saving, altering, destroying, and using personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Additionally, to the extent that the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, we process personal data according to the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(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, as well as to carry out pre-contractual measures.
  • (c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the 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 our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override them. Legitimate interests include our business interest in being able to offer our website, ensuring information security, enforcing our legal claims, and complying with Swiss law.

We also use the data collected on this website or when accessing content for marketing purposes, including sending you promotional material such as information about products, features, surveys, newsletters, offers, promotions, competitions, and events. We process personal data for the duration necessary for the specific purpose(s). In the case of longer retention obligations due to legal or other requirements to which we are subject, we limit the processing accordingly.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific user-related information to be stored on the user’s device while they are using the website. Cookies enable us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyze usage behavior, and to make our offer more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored after the end of a browser session and can be retrieved again when the website is revisited. If you do not want this, you should configure your internet browser to refuse cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be made through numerous 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 prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offer may be available as a result.

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 the inquiries 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’s address bar. If SSL or TLS 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 version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

These data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. This data is not combined with other data sources. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check this data if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.

Privacy Policy for Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. When you visit 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 through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data 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 advertising, market research, and/or tailored website design. Such evaluation takes place, in particular, to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website, even for users who are not logged in. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, as well as information on your rights and settings to protect your privacy, can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if necessary, further data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and further used there. However, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the “Privacy Shield.” Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has submitted to its requirements. By activating the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent until revocation. Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the associated privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads.
