General Notice
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 as well as 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

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

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security gaps. 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 according to the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. While visiting, data such as pages called up or names of the retrieved file, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly related to your person. Personal data, particularly name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Without your consent, this data will not be passed on to third parties.

​

Processing of Personal Data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. An affected person is one whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, particularly the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, saving, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, as far as the GDPR is applicable, we process personal data according to the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:

a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the affected person.
b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the affected person as well as for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
c) Processing of personal data for the fulfillment of a legal obligation that we are subject to under any applicable EU law or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person.
f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights as well as interests of the affected person do not prevail. Legitimate interests are particularly our economic 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 or purposes. In the case of longer retention obligations due to legal and other obligations that we are subject to, we restrict the 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 using the website. Cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyze behavior patterns of page use, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be called up again when visiting the site again. If you do not wish this, you should set your Internet browser to refuse to accept cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by switching them off in the settings of the browser. Please note that not all functions of this online offer may be used then.

​

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.

​

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. These are:

- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
These data cannot

 be directly linked to specific individuals. A merger of this data with other data sources is not carried out. We reserve the right to subsequently check these data if we become aware of specific indications for illegal use.

 

Services of 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 cookies among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the USA, although we assume that no personal tracking takes place as part of this through the use of our website alone.
Google has 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 privacy policy.

​

Privacy Policy for Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided 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 this data without your consent.

 

Privacy Policy for Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we need an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for the delivery of the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
You can revoke the consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

 

Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to use the map feature conveniently. When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in with or if there is no user account. If you are logged in with Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or custom design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out specifically (even for non-logged-in users) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google can be obtained, along with further information on your rights and privacy settings, at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

​

Google AdWords
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have accessed our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Adwords 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 certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We only use Google Adwords to analyze the use of our website and to improve it for you.

​

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

Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will truncate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf

 of the website provider, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not conflated with other data held by Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Further information concerning the terms and conditions of use and data privacy can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or at https://www.privacypolicy.google.com. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by "anonymizeIp" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).

 

Changes
We may adjust this privacy policy at any time without notice. The current version published on our website applies. If the privacy policy forms part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of the change by email or other appropriate means in the event of an update.
