General Information /Introducution
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 the protection of their privacy as well as to 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 applicable statutory data protection regulations as well as this Privacy Policy.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect our databases against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) 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 in accordance with the following description. In principle, this website can be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed, the name of accessed files, date, and time may be stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly related to your person. Where personal data (such as name, address, or e-mail addresses) are collected on our pages, this is done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. Such data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Processing off personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person whose personal data are processed. Processing means any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures applied, in particular the collection, storage, transfer, modification, use, disclosure, archiving, deletion, or destruction of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Insofar as and to the extent that the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to statutory and other requirements to which we are subject, we restrict the processing accordingly.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that make it possible to store specific information related to the user on the user’s device while the website is being used.
Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyze patterns of site usage, and to make our offer more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved again when you revisit the site. If you do not wish this to happen, you should configure your internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes may be declared for a variety of services, especially tracking, via the U.S. site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
In addition, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note, however, that in this case not all functions of this online service may be fully usable.
With SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator—this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. 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’s address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Without SSL/TLS Encryption
Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the internet or an e-mail service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by “http://” in the browser’s address line and the absence of a lock symbol in your browser’s address bar. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may be routed through third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or materials transmitted via such open networks or third-party networks. If you disclose personal data over an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or potentially viewed by third parties, and that the data may consequently be collected and used without your consent. Although, in many cases, the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient are located in the same country, data transfer over such networks often occurs—without control—via third countries, i.e., also via countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We assume no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the internet and disclaim any liability for direct or indirect damages. Please use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or advisable for security reasons.
Despite extensive technical and organizational security measures, it is possible that data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorized persons. Where possible, we take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent this within our systems. However, your computer is outside the security area that we control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures. As the website operator, we accept no liability for damages resulting to you from data loss or manipulation.
Data that you enter in online forms may be passed on to authorized third parties and viewed and, where applicable, processed by them for the purpose of order processing.
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. These are:
These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. These data are not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check these data retrospectively 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 of the U.S. company Google LLC use, among other things, cookies, whereby data are transmitted to Google in the USA. We assume that, in this context, no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.
Google has undertaken to ensure adequate data protection in accordance with the U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield.
Further information can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on these data without your consent.
Newsletter
If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data are collected. We use these data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass them on to third parties.

Storage of IP Addresses

Right to Object
Every data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to the processing of personal data concerning them. In such a case, the controller of this website will cease processing the personal data, unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or where the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Right to Withdraw Consent under Data Protection Law
Every data subject has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
Objection to E-Mail Marketing
The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational material is hereby objected to. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
