General note

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Government (Data Protection Act, DPA)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 legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or tampering.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or names of accessed files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without directly relating this data to your person. Personal data, especially name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Data will not be disclosed to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data are all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person. An affected person is a person about whom personal data are processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR, to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable.:

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for a specific purpose or purposes.
Fulfillment of contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b. GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR) - Processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR) - Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) - Processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the data controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, prevail.
Application process as pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR) - Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, so that the controller or the data subject can exercise the rights arising from labor law and social security law and social protection law and fulfill their respective obligations, their processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b. GDPR, in the case of protecting the vital interests of the applicants or other persons in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. c. GDPR or for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. h. GDPR. In the case of voluntary consent-based disclosure of special categories of data, their processing is based on Art. 9 (2) lit. a. GDPR.

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In case of longer retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict the processing accordingly.

Relevant legal bases

According to Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal bases of our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and carry out contractual measures as well as responding to inquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of threats to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

Among the measures are in particular the assurance of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access, input, transmission, availability, and separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data, and responses to data breaches. We also consider the protection of personal data already in the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and privacy-friendly default settings.

Transmission of personal data

As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transferred to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units, or individuals or disclosed to them. The recipients of this data may include, for example, IT service providers or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and in particular conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect your data.

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing takes place as part of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to other individuals, authorities, or companies, this will only be done in accordance with legal requirements.

Under the condition of explicit consent or contractually or legally required transmission, we only process the data in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard data protection clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en).

Privacy policy for cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user during or after their visit within an online offer. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the point at which a video was watched. The term "cookies" also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g. when user information is stored based on pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as "user IDs").

The following types of cookies and functions are distinguished:

Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies)Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed their browser.
Permanent CookiesPermanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user revisits a website. Likewise, user interests that are used for audience measurement or marketing purposes can be stored in such a cookie.
First-Party-CookiesFirst-party cookies are set by ourselves.
Third-party cookies (also: third-party cookies)Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
Essential (also: essential or absolutely necessary) cookiesCookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user inputs, or for security reasons).
Statistics, marketing, and personalization cookiesFurthermore, cookies are usually also used as part of reach measurement and when a user's interests or behavior (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) are stored in a user profile on individual websites. Such profiles are used to display content to users that matches their potential interests. This process is also referred to as "tracking," i.e., tracking the potential interests of users. If we use cookies or "tracking" technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or as part of obtaining consent.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the commercial operation of our online offering and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage period: If we do not provide you with explicit information on the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g. as part of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option to revoke your consent at any time or to object to the processing of your data through cookie technologies (collectively referred to as "opt-out"). You can initially declare your objection by adjusting your browser settings, for example, by disabling the use of cookies (which may also restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be made through a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can receive further information on objections within the information provided on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure in which users' consents to the use of cookies, or the processing and providers mentioned within the cookie consent management procedure, are obtained, managed, and revoked by users. The consent declaration is stored to avoid having to repeat the request and to be able to prove consent in accordance with legal obligations. The storage can be done server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The duration of consent storage can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system, and device used.

Processed data types: Usage data (e.g. visited websites, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
Affected persons: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

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 line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit 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 address bar of the browser showing "http://" and no padlock symbol displayed in your browser bar. Information transmitted over the Internet and content received online may potentially be transmitted over third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or documents transmitted over such open networks or third-party networks.

If you disclose personal information over an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or potentially accessed by third parties, who may collect and use the data without your consent. While in many cases individual data packets are transmitted encrypted, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient reside in the same country, data transmission over such networks often occurs through and without controls in third countries, i.e. 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 indirect and direct losses. We ask you to use other means of communication if you consider it necessary or reasonable for security reasons.

spite 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 as far as possible. However, your computer is outside the security area that we can control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security measures and to take appropriate actions in this regard. As a website operator, we are in no way liable for any damages that may arise from data loss or manipulation.

Your data provided in online forms may be passed on to commissioned third parties for order processing and may be viewed and possibly edited by them.

Privacy policy for server log files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Services from third parties

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 of the American Google LLC use, among other things, cookies and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the USA, and we assume that in this context, 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.

Further information can be found in the Privacy Policy by Google.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website through an advertisement placed by Google, Google Ads will set a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits specific pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers will be informed about the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that could personally identify users.

If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this purpose - for example, by adjusting your browser settings to generally disable 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 if you do not want any measurement data recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must reset the respective opt-out cookie.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The function is used to present website visitors with interest-based advertisements within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the visitor's browser, which enables the visitor to be recognized when they visit websites that belong to Google's advertising network. On these pages, advertisements can be presented to the visitor that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google's remarketing function.

According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. If you still do not wish to use Google's Remarketing feature, you can generally deactivate it by adjusting the corresponding settings under http://www.google.com/settings/ads Make changes. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp folgen.

The use of Google reCAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter "Google". reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is done by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, duration of the website visitor's stay on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting his web offers from abusive automated spying and SPAM. For more information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy, please refer to the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.

Privacy policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google".

Through the collected statistics, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under "My Data", "Personal Data".

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended with the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, so that any personal reference can be excluded. If the data collected about you does have a personal reference, this will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

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 the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics.

Furthermore, you can prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google AnalyticsBy doing so, a so-called opt-out cookie is stored on your hard drive, 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, meaning that you will need to set the opt-out cookies again if you still want to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

Privacy Policy for Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense on this website. This is an advertising program by Google Inc. In Europe, the company responsible for all Google services is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland). With Google AdSense, we can display advertisements on this website that are relevant to our topic.

Google AdSense uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Through a cookie ID, Google captures which ads are displayed in which browser and can prevent them from being shown multiple times. In addition, Google AdSense can track conversions using cookie IDs that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later accesses the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that Google may obtain and store your IP address.

You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways:

By adjusting your browser settings accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies, you will not receive any ads from third parties;
By deactivating cookies for conversion tracking, by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://adssettings.google.comThis setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;
By deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choicesThis setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;
By permanently deactivating in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome at the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/pluginPlease note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all functions of this offer.
