General Information

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP), every person has the right to protection of their privacy as well as protection against misuse of their personal data.

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

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

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. 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 used without registration. In doing so, data such as accessed pages or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly attributable to a specific person.

Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Such data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow specific, user-related information to be stored on the user’s device while using the website.

Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine frequency of use and number of users, to analyze website usage behavior, and to make our offer more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved upon a subsequent visit.

If you do not wish this, you can configure your browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes, particularly tracking, can be declared via the US website
http://www.aboutads.info/choices/
or the EU website
http://www.youronlinechoices.com/.

In addition, cookies can be disabled via browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functions of this website may be fully available.

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 are provided by Google LLC (USA) and may use cookies, resulting in data being transferred to Google servers in the United States. We assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the EU–US and Swiss–US Privacy Shield frameworks.
Further information can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy.

Privacy Policy for the Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. These data will not be shared without your consent.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to determine whether input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. This involves transmitting the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for reCAPTCHA to Google.

Your IP address is generally shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of the website operator, 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.

By using reCAPTCHA, you consent to the processing of data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to revocation.

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, data processing is carried out by Google LLC.

Google Analytics enables us to analyze website usage and improve our offering. It also supports cross-device analysis using a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can disable cross-device analysis in your account settings under “My Data” → “Personal Data”.

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. IP anonymization is enabled on this website. Your IP address is shortened before further processing, so that it cannot be directly associated with a person.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google processes this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate website usage, compile reports, and provide other related services.

Google Analytics uses cookies. You can prevent the storage of cookies through browser settings; however, this may limit website functionality.

You can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics by installing the browser plugin available at:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Alternatively, you can opt out by clicking the corresponding opt-out link on the website. An opt-out cookie will then be stored on your device.

Privacy Policy for Google Ads

This website uses Google Ads, an online advertising program by Google. Google Ads uses cookies to display relevant ads, improve campaign reporting, and prevent repeated display of the same ads.

Google Ads cookies do not contain personal data. However, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google servers, allowing Google to know that you have visited this website or clicked an ad.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process by:

adjusting browser settings to block third-party cookies
disabling conversion tracking cookies
deactivating interest-based ads via https://www.aboutads.info/choices
permanently disabling tracking using browser plugins

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
