General note

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG ), every person has the right to privacy and protection against the 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as effectively as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can 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 visited without registration. Data such as pages viewed or the names of files accessed, as well as the date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, in particular your name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Your data will not be shared with third parties without your consent.

 

Processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural 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, in particular the retention, disclosure, collection, erasure, storage, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases pursuant to Article 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 fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.

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

  • lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject override those interests. Legitimate interests include, 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 necessary for the respective purpose(s). Where longer retention periods are required due to legal or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

 

Privacy policy for 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 they are using the website. Cookies allow us, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze user behavior on the site, and also to make our website more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored after a browser session ends and can be retrieved when the website is visited again. If you do not wish this, you should configure your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

You can generally object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes with many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . Furthermore, you can prevent the storage of cookies by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that this may prevent you from using all the features of this website.

 

Privacy policy for SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as inquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.

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

 

Data transmission security (without SSL)

Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the internet or an email service without SSL encryption is visible to everyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar displays "http://" and no padlock icon is shown. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may be transmitted via third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or documents transmitted via such open or third-party networks.

When you disclose personal information via an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or that third parties could potentially access and collect this information without your consent. While individual data packets are often transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient reside in the same country, data transmission via such networks frequently occurs without oversight through third countries, i.e., countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of residence. We assume no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the internet and disclaim all liability for direct and indirect losses. We urge you to use alternative means of communication if you deem it necessary or advisable for security reasons.

Despite extensive technical and organizational security measures, data may still be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorized persons. We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent this within our system to the extent possible. However, your computer is outside the security perimeter we control. It is your responsibility as the user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures. As the website operator, we are in no way liable for any damages you may incur as a result of data loss or manipulation.

Data that you enter in online forms may be passed on to commissioned third parties for order processing purposes and may be viewed and possibly processed by them.

 

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. This information includes:

  • Browser type and browser version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Hostname of the accessing computer

  • Time of server request

This data cannot be linked to specific individuals. This data will not be combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

 

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 from the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring adequate 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 contact form

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

 

Privacy policy regarding the right to information, erasure, and blocking.

You have the right to request information, free of charge, about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to rectification, blocking, or erasure of this data. For this purpose, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.

 

Privacy policy for objecting to advertising emails

The use of contact details published as part of the legal notice for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.

 

Services subject to a fee

To provide paid services, we request additional data from you, such as payment information, in order to process your order or request. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

 

Privacy policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To deactivate Google Analytics, Google provides a browser plug-in at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de . Google Analytics uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific, user-related information on the user's device. This allows Google to analyze the use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (IP masking). If IP anonymization is activated, Google shortens IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, which means that no conclusions can be drawn about your identity. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google complies with the data protection regulations of the "Privacy Shield" agreement and is registered with the "Privacy Shield" program of the US Department of Commerce. Google uses the collected information to evaluate the use of our websites, to compile reports for us in this regard, and to provide us with other related services.

If you have a Facebook account, this data can be linked to it. If you do not want this data to be associated with your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our site.

Contractual services

We process the data of our contractual partners and prospective clients, as well as other clients, customers, principals, or contractual partners (collectively referred to as "contractual partners") in accordance with the data protection regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), specifically Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, in order to provide them with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed, its nature, scope, purpose, and the necessity of its processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.

The processed data includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g. names and addresses), contact details (e.g. email addresses and telephone numbers) as well as contract data (e.g. services used, contract content, contractual communication, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history).

We generally do not process special categories of personal data, unless they are part of a commissioned or contractual processing activity.

We process data that is necessary for establishing and fulfilling contractual obligations and will indicate the necessity of providing this data if it is not evident to the contractual partners. Disclosure to external persons or companies only occurs if required within the scope of a contract. When processing data entrusted to us within the scope of a contract, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the applicable legal requirements.

When you use our online services, we may store your IP address and the time of each user action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the users' interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. We generally do not share this data with third parties, unless it is necessary for the enforcement of our claims pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Data is deleted when it is no longer required to fulfill contractual or legal obligations of care, as well as for handling any warranty or similar obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed periodically. Statutory retention periods also apply.
