General information:

Based on Article 13 of the Federal Constitution and the provisions of Swiss data protection legislation, everyone has the right to the protection of privacy and to protection from misuse of their personal details. The operators of these web pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal information with confidentiality in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data privacy statement.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect the databases against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or fraud to the best of our ability. We would like to point out that the transfer of data on the internet (e.g. during e-mail communication) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from third-party access.

By using this website, you are expressing your consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the subsequent description. This website can generally be used without registration. When doing so, the accessed web pages or name of the accessed file, date and time will be saved on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, in particular your name, address, phone number or e-mail address will only be collected if given by you voluntarily.  No data will be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is all information relating to a specific or identifiable person. A data subject is a person regarding whom personal data is processed. Processing comprises any handling of personal data, regardless of the applied means and procedures, in particular the storage, notification, acquisition, deleting, saving, changing, destroying and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Data Protection Law. We also - in such cases and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable - process personal data in accordance with the following legal foundations related to Art. 6 Section 1 of the GDPR.

a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the person concerned.

b) Processing of personal data for the fulfilment of a contract with the person concerned and for performing the corresponding pre-contractual measures.

c) Processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation by which we are governed at best in accordance with the applicable EU laws or the laws of a country in which the GDPR is applicable in part or in full.

d) Processing of personal data to protect the crucial interests of the person concerned or those of another individual.

f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or of third persons, as long as the fundamental rights and freedoms, and the interests of the person concerned predominate. Legitimate interests are, in particular, our economic interests, the ability to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and the adherence to Swiss law. We process personal data for the duration required for the purpose(s) in question. If the data needs to be retained for longer periods due to legal or other obligations which we must adhere to, we will restrict processing accordingly.

Data privacy statement for cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files which make it possible to save information relating to the user on the user's end device while using the website. In particular, cookies make it possible to transmit the number of visitors and frequency of visits to the sites, to analyse behaviour when using the site and to design our services to be more customer-friendly. Cookies remain saved after the end of a browser session and can be called up again when the site is revisited. If you do not want this to happen, you should adjust your internet browser to refuse to accept cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes for a number of services, in particular for tracking purposes, can be explained on the US-American site http://www.aboutads.info/choices  or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com. Furthermore cookies may be saved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that this may result in you being unable to use all of the functions of this online service.

Data privacy statement for SSL encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for safety reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential information, in enquiries for example, which you send us as the website operator. An encrypted connection can be recognised through the changing of the browser address line from http:// to https:// and the appearance of a lock symbol in your browser line.

If the SSL encryption is activated, the data you send us cannot be read by third persons.

Data privacy statement for server log files

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

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of server query

This data is not assignable to any particular persons. This data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data at a later stage if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.

Third-party services

If need be, this website uses Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services from the US company Google LLC also use cookies. As a result, data is transmitted to Google in the USA, but we assume that no personal tracking is performed in this context alone through the use of our website.

Google has accepted an obligation to guarantee adequate data privacy in accordance with the EU - U.S. and Swiss - U.S. Privacy Shield.

You can find more information regarding this at https://policies.google.com/privacy Google Privacy Policy.

Data privacy statement for the contact form

If you send us enquiries using the contact form, your information taken from the form including the contact data specified there will be saved in our company for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case we should have any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Data privacy statement regarding right of access, rectification, erasure or blocking

You are always entitled to receive free information about your saved personal data, its origin and recipient(s), and the reason the data was processed, and have a right to the correction, blocking or erasure of the said data.  If you have any questions regarding this or on the subject of personal data in general, please do not hesitate to contact us under the address specified in the company details.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to provide a visual representation of geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data regarding the visitors' use of the map functions.

Data privacy statement for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To deactivate Google Analytics, Google has provided a browser plug-in under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google Analytics uses cookies. These are small text files which make it possible to save information relating to the user on the user's end device. They allow Google to analyse the use of our web content. The information collected by the cookie regarding the use of our sites (including your IP address) are normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and saved there. We would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension  "gat._anonymizeIp();" to guarantee the anonymised generation of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). If the anonymisation feature is active, Google will shorten your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other states which are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic area, meaning there will be no inferences to your identity. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google observes the data privacy regulations of the "Privacy Shield" Agreements, is registered in the "Privacy Shield"  program of the US Department of Commerce and uses the collected information to analyse the use of our websites, to write up reports for us with regard to this and to provide us with other services with regard to this.

Use of Adobe Typekit

We use Adobe Typekit for the visual design of our website. Typekit is a service of Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd. which gives us access to a font library. To integrate the fonts we use, your browser must set up a connection to an Adobe server in the USA and download the font needed for our website. This provides Adobe with the information that our website was called up by your IP address. More information regarding Adobe Typekit can be found in the Adobe data privacy instructions which you can call up here: https://www.adobe.com/ch_de/privacy/policies/typekit.html 

Data privacy statement for YouTube

This website uses plug-ins of the Google operated YouTube site. The site operator is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our web pages equipped with a YouTube plug-in, a connection is set up with the YouTube servers. The YouTube servers are informed of which of our web pages you visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you will make it possible for YouTube to directly assign your surfing behaviour to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. More information regarding the handling of user data can be found in the YouTube privacy statement under: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

Anyone who commits a copyright violation without the consent of the copyright holder may be liable to prosecution and could potentially also be liable for damages.

General disclaimer

All of the information contained in our internet presence has been carefully checked. We make an effort to provide information which is up-to-date, factually correct and complete. However it is not possible to completely rule out the appearance of errors and we therefore cannot provide any guarantee that the information is complete, correct and up-to-date, even that of a journalistic/editorial nature. Liability claims due to damages of a material or immaterial nature caused by the use of the featured information are excluded unless it can be proven that the author acted wilfully or was grossly negligent.

The publisher may revise or discontinue any information as he sees fit and without prior notice, and does not have an obligation to update the content of this website. The use of and access to this website is at the visitor's own risk. The publisher, his contractors or partners are not responsible for any damages, or any direct, indirect, accidental, specifically foreseeable or consequential damages which presumably occurred by visiting this website and, as a result, we will accept no liability for this.

The publisher also accepts no responsibility and liability for the content and availability of third-party websites which can be reached via external links contained on this website. Solely the operators of the linked web pages are responsible for their content. The publisher thus expressly distances himself from the content published by others which may infringe against criminal or liability laws or which may be morally offensive.

Changes

We may modify this data privacy statement at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website shall apply. If the data privacy statement forms a part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of any modifications included in an update by e-mail or in another suitable manner.
