General note

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany (Data Protection Act, DSG ), every person is entitled to protection of his or her privacy as well as to protection against misuse of his personal data. The operators of these sites 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 data protection declaration.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as much as possible from third-party access, loss, misuse or counterfeiting.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.B. when communicating via e-mail) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you agree 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 accessed or the names of the retrieved file, 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 e-mail address, are collected as far as possible on a voluntary basis. 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 person. A data subject is a person through which personal data is processed. Editing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procuring, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(0). 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 in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable EU law or, if applicable, of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
• Lit. (d) processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or any other natural person.
• Lit. f) Processing of personal data in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights as well as the interests of the data subject prevail. Eligible interests are, in particular, our business interest in providing 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 purpose. In the case of longer-lasting retention obligations 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 terminal device while using the website. Cookies make it possible to determine the frequency and number of users of the pages in particular, to analyse behaviours of the use of the pages, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be recalled when you visit the site again. If you do not wish to do so, 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 explained by a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by switching them off in the settings of the browser. Please note that not all functions of this online offer can 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 the requests you send to us as a site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by changing the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser line.

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

 

Services provided by third parties

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

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

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

For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

 

Privacy policy for contact form

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

 

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 recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked through the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers will find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and have been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can reject the necessary setting of a cookie – for example, by means of a browser setting, which generally disables the automatic setting of cookies or your browser is set in such a way that cookies are blocked by the domain "googleleadservices.com".

Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies unless you wish to record measurement data. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

 

Privacy Policy for the use of Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to provide uniform representation of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into their browser cache to display text and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a default font will be used by your computer.
