General Information
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect databases as much as possible from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to your person. Personal data, particularly your name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. No data will be passed onto third parties without your consent.
PrivacyPolicy for Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files containing data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online offering. The stored data can include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the point where a video was last viewed. The term "cookies" also includes other technologies that fulfil the same functions as cookies (e.g., when user data is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as "userIDs"). The following types and functions of cookies are distinguished:
Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser.
Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status or preferred content can be saved to be displayed immediately when the user revisits a website. Similarly, user interests, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes, can be stored in such a cookie.
First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us.
Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are primarily used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
Necessary cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of a website (e.g., to save logins or other user inputs, or for security reasons).
Statistical, marketing, and personalisation cookies: Cookies are also typically used for reach measurement and when a user's interests or behaviour (e.g., viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles serve to display content to users that matches their potential interests. This process is also known as "tracking," i.e., monitoring users' potential interests.
If we use cookies or "tracking" technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or when obtaining your consent.
Legal Basis: The legal basis for processing your personal data using cookies depends on whether we request your consent. If consent is obtained, the processing of your data is based on your declared consent. Otherwise, data processed using cookies is based on our legitimate interests (e.g., in the business operation and improvement of our online offering) or if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.
Storage Duration: Unless we provide explicit information on the storage duration of permanent cookies (e.g., as part of a cookie opt-in), assume that the storage duration may be up to two years.
General Information on Withdrawal and Objection (Opt-Out): Depending on whether processing is based on consent or statutory permission, you can withdraw your consent at any time or object to the processing of your data through cookie technologies ("opt-out"). You can declare your objection initially through your browser settings, e.g., by deactivating the use of cookies (this may, however, restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared through various services, particularly in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com. Additionally, further objection information can be found within the details about the utilised service providers and cookies.
Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the address line of your browser changing 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 Contact Forms
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 pass on this data without your consent.
