General notice
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and to 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 make every effort to protect databases as well as possible against unauthorised 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 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 as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or files retrieved, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Processing of personal data
Personal data is any information that relates 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, acquisition, deletion, saving, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:
(a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject. (b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures. (c) Processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable EU law or any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part. (d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. (f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of ourselves or third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject do not prevail. Legitimate interests include in particular our business 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 required for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict 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 they use the website. Cookies make it possible in particular to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyse page usage behaviour, but also to make our offering more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be accessed again on a subsequent visit. 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 website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this online offering.
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 enquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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.
Data transmission security (without SSL)
Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the internet or an email service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognise an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser displays “http://” and no lock symbol is shown in your browser line. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may be transmitted via third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or documents transmitted over such open networks or third-party networks.
If you disclose personal information over an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or that third parties may potentially access this information and consequently collect and use the data without your consent. Although individual data packets are in many cases transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient reside in the same country, data transmission via such networks frequently takes place without controls, including via third countries, i.e. also via countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of residence. We assume no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the internet and reject any liability for direct and indirect losses. We ask you to use other means of communication should you consider this necessary or reasonable for security reasons.
Despite extensive technical and organisational security precautions, data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorised persons. We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures as far as possible to prevent this within our system. However, your computer is outside the security area that we can 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 are in no way liable for any damage that may arise from data loss or manipulation.
Data that you provide in online forms may be passed on to commissioned third parties for order processing and may be viewed and possibly processed by them.
Privacy policy for contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
Google AdWords
This website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google advertisement. 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 recognise that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of the required cookie, for example by using a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies, or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”.
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
Privacy policy for Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller 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 hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offering 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 in the settings there under “My Data”, “Personal Data”.
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, so that any personal reference can be ruled out. Where the data collected about you has a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is therefore deleted immediately.
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 the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics.
You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will store 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 on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, meaning you will need to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing 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.
Privacy policy for Google Ads
This website uses the online marketing tool Google Ads from Google (“Google Ads”). Google Ads uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Via a cookie ID, Google records which ads are served in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, Google Ads can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that relate to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads advertisement and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. Through the integration of Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google may obtain and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways: by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com“; by deactivating interest-based advertisements from providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices; or by permanently deactivating them in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offering to their full extent.
The legal basis for processing your data is a balancing of interests, according to which no overriding contrary interests on your part stand in the way of the aforementioned processing of your personal data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR). Further information on Google Ads from Google can be found at https://ads.google.com/intl/en/home/, and on data protection at Google in general: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://www.networkadvertising.org.
Privacy policy for the use of Google Web Fonts
This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of users. With regard to the processing of users’ personal data, please refer to the following information on Google services. Terms of use: https://www.google.com/intl/en/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
Privacy policy for Facebook
This website uses features of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you access our pages with Facebook plugins, a connection is established between your browser and the Facebook servers. Data is already being transmitted to Facebook. If you have a Facebook account, this data can be linked to it. If you do not wish this data to be assigned to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our site. Interactions, in particular using a comment function or clicking a “Like” or “Share” button, are also passed on to Facebook. Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
Privacy policy for Instagram
Functions of the Instagram service are integrated on our website. These functions are offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.
Further information can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/
Privacy policy for LinkedIn
This website uses features of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn features is accessed, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website with you and your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn.
Further information can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
Privacy policy for YouTube
Functions of the “YouTube” service are integrated on this website. “YouTube” belongs to Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operating under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.
Your legal agreement with “YouTube” consists of the terms and conditions to be found at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=en&template=terms&hl=en. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and “YouTube” regarding the use of the services. Google’s privacy policy explains how “YouTube” handles your personal data and protects your data when you use the service.
Notice regarding data transfers to the USA (United States of America)
For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out that for users based in Switzerland, surveillance measures by US authorities exist which generally enable the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that has been transferred to the USA.
This is done without differentiation, restriction or exception based on the objectives pursued and without an objective criterion that would make it possible to limit the access of US authorities to the data and their subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes capable of justifying the interference associated with both access to and use of such data. Furthermore, we would like to point out that in the USA, there are no legal remedies available to data subjects from Switzerland that would allow them to obtain access to the data concerning them and to obtain its rectification or deletion, nor is there effective judicial protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly draw the attention of data subjects to this legal and factual situation in order to enable them to make an appropriately informed decision to consent to the use of their data.
Users with residence in a member state of the EU are informed that the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection from the perspective of the European Union.
