Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and to protection against misuse of their personal data. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In close 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 e-mail) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
By using this website, you agree 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 viewed, IP address, date, time, browser request and general information transmitted about the operating system or browser are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process personal data (to the extent and as far as the EU GDPR is applicable) in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Article 6 (1) GDPR:
We process personal data for the period necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the event of longer-term storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we will restrict processing accordingly.
In accordance with legal requirements, considering the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transfer, availability and separation of data relating to it. We have also set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and responses to data risks. In addition, we take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through privacy-friendly default settings.
As part of our processing of personal data, the data may be transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons or disclosed to them. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers tasked with IT tasks 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 that serve to protect your data.
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or processing takes place as part of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this is only done in accordance with legal requirements.
Subject to express consent or transfer required by contract or law, we only process the data in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses issued by the EU Commission, if certifications or binding internal data protection regulations are available (Articles 44 to 49 GDPR, Information page of the EU-Commission).
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from ”http://“ to ”https://“ and click on the lock icon in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.
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:
This is necessary for technical reasons to make our website available to you. This data cannot be attributed to a specific person and this data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete evidence of illegal use.
The web hosting provider uses technical and organizational measures to protect this data from unauthorized access and does not pass it on to third parties. Insofar as we process personal data, we do so because of our interest in offering you the best possible user experience and ensuring the security and stability of our systems.
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 the user is using the website. Cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyze behavioural patterns of site usage, but also to make our offer more customer friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not want this to happen, you should set your Internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.
The following types of cookies and functions are differentiated:
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be submitted for a variety of services, in particular tracking, via the US site or the EU site be explained. In addition, cookies can be saved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offer can be used in this case.
This website only uses Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.
These services provided by 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 solely using 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 privacy policy.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the person responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereafter referred to as “Google.”
Using the statistics obtained, 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 under “My data”, “personal data” in the settings there.
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. Please note that Google Analytics has been configured on this website with an anonymized collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form and personal identification can thus be ruled out. Insofar as the data collected about you is personally identified, this is therefore immediately excluded, and the personal data is therefore immediately deleted.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated 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 and Internet usage to the web hosting provider.
You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by blocking cookies for statistics. This stores a so-called opt-out cookie on your data carrier, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics.
Please note that if you delete all cookies from your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, i.e. you must set the opt-out cookies again if you want to continue 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.
This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to uniformly display fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
You can find more information about Google Web Fonts in Google Web Font FAQ and in Google's privacy policy.
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter referred to as "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entry on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of 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 are forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place. Data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated snooping and SPAM.
For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy, please see the following links: Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe link” in the newsletter.
