General comment

On the basis of Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Federal Government (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection from 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 provisions on data protection and this data protection declaration.

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

We would like to point out that the transmission of data over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A 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 as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as the pages called up or the name of the file called up, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly traceable to you. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Privacy policy for cookies

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

Privacy policy for SSL encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as a site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in the browser line.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Security of data transmission (without SSL)

Please note that data transmitted via an open network such as the Internet or an e-mail service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognise a non-encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line shows "http://" and no block symbol is displayed in the browser address 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 over such open or third-party networks.

If you disclose personally identifiable information over open or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be disclosed or that third parties may potentially access this information and, as a result, collect and use the data without your consent. Although in many cases individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient live in the same country, data are often transmitted via such networks and without control through third countries, i.e. even through countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We accept no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the Internet and refuse any liability for indirect or direct losses. We encourage you to use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or reasonable for security reasons. Despite extensive technical and organisational security precautions, data can 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 area of security that we can control. As a user, it is your responsibility to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures in this respect. As operator of the website, we are not liable for any damage you may suffer as a result of loss or manipulation of data.

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

Data protection declaration for server log files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which the 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 request to the server

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to verify this data later if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

Third-party services

This website may use Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for bot and spam protection.

These services of American Google LLC use, among other things, cookies and consequently data is transmitted to Google in the USA, so we assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context exclusively through the use of our website.

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

Further information can be found in Google's data protection declaration.

Privacy policy for the contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your data from the enquiry form, including the contact details you have provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

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. Google Analytics uses cookies. These are small text files that enable user-specific information to be stored on the user's device. These enable Google to analyse how our website is used. The information collected by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure that IP addresses are recorded anonymously (so-called IP masking). If anonymisation is activated, Google shortens IP addresses within member states of the European Union or 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 sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google complies with the data protection provisions of the Privacy Shield agreement and is registered in the Privacy Shield programme of the US Department of Commerce and uses the information collected to evaluate the use of our websites, to prepare reports for us about this and to provide other related services to us.

Note on data transfers to the USA (United States of America)

For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out that the US authorities have surveillance measures in place for users based in Switzerland, which generally allow the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that have been transferred to the USA.

This is done without any differentiation, limitation or exception on the basis of the objectives pursued and without any objective criterion allowing the US authorities to access the data and limit their subsequent use to very specific and strictly limited purposes associated with the access in order to justify such data as well as the actions related to its use. In addition, we would like to point out that there are no legal remedies in the United States for data subjects from Switzerland to gain access to data concerning you and to obtain their correction or deletion, or there is no effective legal protection against general access rights by the US authorities. We explicitly point out this legal and factual situation to the persons concerned,

We draw the attention of users residing in an EU member state to the fact that the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection from an EU perspective.
