General information

In accordance with Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the Swiss Confederation’s data protection provisions (FADP), everyone is entitled to protection of their privacy and against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take protecting your personal data extremely seriously. We treat your personal information confidentially and in compliance with the statutory data protection rules and this Privacy Policy.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases against third-party access, loss, misuse or forgery.

We wish to point out that data transfers over the internet (for example, when communicating by email) can present security risks. It is not possible to protect data completely from unauthorised access.

By using this website, you declare your agreement to the collection, processing and use of your data as specified below. You can visit this website without registering. Data such as the pages accessed and the date and time are stored on the server for statistics purposes. This data does not personally identify you. Personal data, particularly your name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis where possible. No data will be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Personal data processing

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is an individual about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes all activities involving the handling of personal data, irrespective of the methods and processes used. This includes, in particular, the storage, disclosure, procurement, erasure, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in compliance with the FADP. We also process personal data in accordance with the following legal grounds as stated in Art. 6(1) GDPR, where the GDPR applies:

• a) Personal data processing with the data subject’s consent.
• b) Personal data processing to fulfil a contract with the data subject and take relevant precontractual measures.
• c) Personal data processing to comply with a legal obligation incumbent upon us under any applicable EU law or any applicable law from a country where the GDPR applies in full or in part.
• d) Personal data processing to safeguard the data subject’s or another person’s vital interests.
• f) Personal data processing to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, except where those interests are overridden by the data subject’s fundamental freedoms, rights and interests. In particular, our commercial interest in maintaining the functionality of our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law are legitimate interests.

We process personal data for the time needed to fulfil the respective purpose(s). Where we are required to retain the data for longer due to legal and other obligations incumbent upon us, we will restrict the processing accordingly.

Privacy policy for cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that enable the storage of user-specific information on the end user’s device while they are using the website. Cookies allow us to determine the frequency and number of users of the pages, analyse page usage behaviour, and make our site more customer-friendly. Cookies remain saved after a browser session and may be retrieved again when you return to the site. If you do not want this to happen, change your web browser settings to refuse cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for many services, particularly tracking, via the American site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The storage of cookies can also be disabled in the browser settings. Please note that you may then not be able to use all features of this website.

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 tell that the

connection is encrypted because the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and from the lock icon in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, third parties cannot read the data you send us.

Privacy policy for server log files

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

• browser type and browser version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• host name of the accessing computer
• time of the server request

This data cannot be linked to specific individuals. This data is not combined with data from other sources. We reserve the right to conduct a retrospective review of this data if we become aware of specific indicators of unlawful use.

Third-party services

This website may also use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services from Google LLC in the USA 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 in this context solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the Privacy Shields between the United States and Europe and the United States and Switzerland.

Additional information can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy.

Contact form privacy policy

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, we will store your details from the form, including the contact information you provided, to process your enquiry and for any follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

Privacy policy for the right of access and the right to erasure, blocking and data portability

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data, where applicable, at any time. You may contact us for this purpose or with any other queries about personal data at any time at the address specified in the legal notice.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The purpose of the reCAPTCHA is to differentiate between input by humans and automated machine processing. The request involves sending the IP address and, where applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. Your input is sent to Google for this purpose and is processed further there. However, your IP address will be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to one of Google’s servers in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this site to evaluate your use of this website. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be combined with other Google data. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. An adequacy decision by the European Commission, the Privacy Shield, applies to data transfers to the US. Google has signed up for the Privacy Shield and complies with its requirements. By clicking to enquire, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing will be conducted with your consent based on Art. 6(1a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of that consent prior to its revocation.

Privacy policy for the use of Google Web Fonts

To display fonts consistently, this website uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google. Upon visiting a site, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. Your computer will use a standard font if your browser does not support web fonts.

You can find more information about Google web fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

 

Note regarding data transfers to the United States of America (USA)

In the interests of completeness, we would like to point out that users based in Switzerland are subject to monitoring procedures by US authorities, which permit the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that has been transferred to the USA.

This is done without differentiation, restriction or exception on the basis of the objectives pursued and without an objective criterion that would make it possible to restrict the US authorities’ access to the data and its subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that could justify the interventions associated with access to said data and use of the same. In addition, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that Swiss data subjects in the United States have no legal recourse to access, correct or delete their personal data. Furthermore, there is no effective legal protection against the US authorities’ general right of access. We expressly inform the data subject of this legal and factual situation so they can make a properly informed decision to consent to the use of their data.

We would like to point out to users resident in an EU Member State that the USA does not provide an adequate level of data protection from the perspective of the European Union.
