General / Introduction

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and 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 and this privacy policy.

 

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

 

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. It is not possible to provide seamless protection of data against access by third parties.

 

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can be visited without registration. Data such as pages viewed or names of files accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly related to your person. Where personal data (e.g. name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

 

Processing of personal data

Personal data means 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, procurement, deletion, retention, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

 

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:

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

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

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

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

(f) processing of personal data for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental rights and freedoms or by the interests of the data subject. Such legitimate interests include, 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 the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict the processing accordingly.

 

Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific user-related information on the user's device while the user is using the website. In particular, cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyse patterns of behaviour of page usage, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored after the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not want this to happen, you should set your Internet browser to refuse to accept cookies.

 

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a variety of services, in particular for tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, the storage of cookies can be achieved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functions of this online offer can be used.

 

With SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS 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 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.

 

Without SSL/TLS encryption

Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the internet or an e-mail service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognise an unencrypted connection by the fact that ‘http://’ appears in the address line of the browser and no lock symbol is displayed in your browser line. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may be transmitted over third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted via such open or third-party networks. If you disclose personal data over an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or potentially viewed by third parties, and that the data may consequently be collected and used without your consent. Although in many cases the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient are located in the same country, data transfer via such networks often occurs in an uncontrolled manner, including via third-party states, i.e. also via countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We do not assume any responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the Internet and disclaim any liability for direct or indirect damages. We ask that you use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or appropriate for security reasons.

 

Despite extensive technical and organisational security precautions, it is possible that data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorised persons. As far as possible, we take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to prevent this within our system. However, your computer is outside the security area that we control. It is your responsibility as a user to find out about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures. As the operator of the website, we are in no way liable for any damage caused to you by data loss or manipulation.

 

Data that you enter in online forms may be passed on to authorised third parties for the purpose of order processing and may be viewed and, if necessary, processed by them.

 

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 specific indications of illegal use.

 

Third-party services

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

 

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

 

Google is committed to ensuring an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

 

For more information, please refer to Google's privacy policy.

Disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date, correct and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, so we cannot guarantee the completeness, correctness and timeliness of the information, including journalistic and editorial content.

Use of this website and access to it is at the visitor's own risk. The publisher, its customers or partners are not responsible for any damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, that may have been caused by visiting this website and therefore accept no liability for such damages.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Ads will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire 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 see that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page 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 tracking, you can refuse to accept the cookie required for this – for example, by using a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain ‘googleleadservices.com’.

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any measurement data to be collected. If you have deleted all the cookies in your browser, you will need to set the relevant opt-out cookie again.

 

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, 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 disable cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under ‘My Data’, ‘Personal Information’.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by ‘_anonymizeIp();’ to ensure an anonymised collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you can be assigned to a person, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is promptly deleted.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transmitted 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 the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics.

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. This stores an 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/end device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other end device.
