General Information

Pursuant to Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP), every person has the right to 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 applicable statutory data protection provisions as well as this Privacy Policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (for example, communication 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 in accordance with the description below. In principle, this website can be visited without registration. In doing so, data such as pages accessed or the names of retrieved files, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly attributable to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis where possible. No data will be disclosed to third parties without your consent.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person whose personal data are processed.

  • Processing includes any Consent (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (a) GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data relating to them for one or more specific purposes.
  • Performance of a contract and pre contract enquiries (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (b) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
  • Legal obligation (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (c) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  • Vital interests (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (d) GDPR) – Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
  • Application procedures as a pre contractual or contractual relationship (Article 9(2), point (b) GDPR) – Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR (for example, health data such as severe disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants as part of the application procedure so that the controller or the data subject can exercise rights and fulfil obligations arising from employment law and social security and social protection law, such data are processed on the basis of Article 9(2), point (b) GDPR, in the case of protection of vital interests of applicants or other persons pursuant to Article 9(2), point (c) GDPR, or for the purposes of preventive or occupational medicine, assessment of the working capacity of the employee, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment, or the management of health or social care systems and services pursuant to Article 9(2), point (h) GDPR. Where special categories of data are provided on the basis of voluntary consent, such data are processed on the basis of Article 9(2), point (a) GDPR.

We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. Where longer retention obligations apply due to statutory or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Security Measures

In accordance with the statutory requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access to, input, disclosure, safeguarding availability, and segregation of the data. We have also established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the erasure of data, and responses to risks to data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account already in the development or selection of hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

Transfer of Personal Data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may occur that data are transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons, or disclosed to them. Recipients of such data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the statutory requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect your data.

Data Processing in Third Countries

Where we process data in a third country (that is, outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA)), or where processing takes place in the context of using third party services or disclosing or transferring data to other persons, bodies or companies, this is carried out only in accordance with the statutory requirements.

Subject to explicit consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we process data only in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, based on contractual obligations through so called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications, or binding internal data protection rules (Articles 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain 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 within an online offering. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping basket, or the point at which a video was watched. The term “cookies” also includes other technologies that fulfil the same functions as cookies (for example, when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as “user IDs”).

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also called 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 can be stored or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, user interests used for reach measurement or marketing purposes may 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 (also essential) cookies: Cookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of a website (for example, to save logins or other user entries, or for security reasons).
  • Statistics, marketing and personalisation cookies: Cookies are also generally used for reach measurement and where a user’s interests or behaviour (for example, viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) are stored in a user profile across individual websites. Such profiles serve, for example, to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. This process is also referred to as “tracking”, meaning the tracing of users’ potential interests. Where we use cookies or tracking technologies, we inform you separately in our Privacy Policy or in the context of obtaining consent.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, data processed using cookies are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (for example, in the economic 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 you with explicit information on the storage duration of persistent cookies (for example, as part of a so called cookie opt in), please assume that the storage duration may be up to two years.

General notes on withdrawal and objection (opt out): Depending on whether processing is based on consent or a legal permission, you have the option at any time to withdraw a given consent or to object to the processing of your data through cookie technologies (collectively referred to as “opt out”). You can initially declare your objection by using your browser settings, for example by disabling the use of cookies (which may also restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via a variety of services, in particular in the case of tracking, through the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you may receive further objection information in the context of the details on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure in which users’ consents for the use of cookies, or the processing operations and providers named within the cookie consent management procedure, are obtained, managed and can be withdrawn by users. The consent declaration is stored so that we do not have to request it again and so that consent can be demonstrated in accordance with statutory obligations. Storage may take place server side and or in a cookie (so called opt in cookie) or by means of comparable technologies in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following applies: The storage duration of consent can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored along with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (for example, which categories of cookies and or service providers), as well as the browser, system and device used.

Legal bases: Consent (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) GDPR).
Types of data processed: Usage data (for example, visited websites, interest in content, access times), meta and communication data (for example, device information, IP addresses).
Data subjects: Users (for example, website visitors, users of online services).

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 fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock 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 Server Log Files

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

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. These data are not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to review these data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

Third Party Services

This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services of the American Google LLC use, among other things, cookies, and as a result, data are transferred to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website in this context.

Google has undertaken to ensure an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the US EU and US Swiss Privacy Shield.

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

Privacy Policy for the Contact Form

If you contact us via a contact form, the information provided, including contact details, will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent.

Rights of Data Subjects

Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right to request confirmation from the operator of the website as to whether personal data relating to data subjects are being processed. If you wish to exercise this right of confirmation, you may contact the data protection officer at any time.

Right of access
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain free information at any time from the operator of this website about the personal data stored about them, and a copy of this information. Furthermore, information may be provided about the following, where applicable:

  • the purposes of processing
  • the categories of personal data being processed
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period

  • the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source

Furthermore, the data subject has a right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If you wish to exercise this right of access, you may contact our data protection officer at any time.

Right to rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.

If you wish to exercise this right to rectification, you may contact our data protection officer at any time.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request that the controller of this website erase personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing for reasons arising from their particular situation and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in the case of direct marketing and associated profiling.
  • The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services made directly to a child.

If one of the above reasons applies and you wish to request the erasure of personal data stored by the operator of this website, you may contact our data protection officer at any time. The data protection officer of this website will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay.

Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request restriction of processing from the controller of this website where one of the following conditions applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing for reasons arising from their particular situation, and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and you wish to request restriction of personal data stored by the operator of this website, you may contact our data protection officer at any time. The data protection officer of this website will arrange for the restriction of processing.

Right to data portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format. They also have the right to have these data transmitted to another controller where the legal requirements are met.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain that personal data be transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise the right to data portability, you may contact the data protection officer appointed by the operator of this website at any time.

Right to object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them.

In the event of an objection, the operator of this website will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

To exercise the right to object, you may contact the data protection officer of this website directly.

Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw any consent given to the processing of personal data at any time.

If you wish to exercise your right to withdraw consent, you may contact our data protection officer at any time.

Privacy Policy for Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact details published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending advertising and informational materials not expressly requested is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example via spam emails.

Fee Based Services

To provide fee based services, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to fulfil your order or assignment. We store these data in our systems until statutory retention periods have expired.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, “Google”). The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, where applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, your IP address is shortened by Google beforehand. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the “Privacy Shield”. Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has submitted to its requirements. By activating the query, you consent to the processing of your data. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1), point (a) GDPR with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the associated Privacy Policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller 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 collectively referred to below 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 a cross device analysis of visitor flows carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross device analysis of your usage in the settings under “My Data” and “Personal Data”.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We note that Google Analytics on this website has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are processed in shortened form, which rules out personal identification. To the extent that the data collected about you have a personal reference, this is therefore excluded immediately and the personal data are thus deleted without delay.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 use and Internet use to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data are 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 generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that if you do so you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug in available under the following link: Disable Google Analytics.

In addition, you can 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 device, 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 that you will need to set the opt out cookies again if you wish to continue to prevent this form of data collection. Opt out cookies are set per browser and computer or device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.

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 its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.

Further information about 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/

Note on Data Transfer to the USA

Our website includes, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We note that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (for example, intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Copyright

The copyright and all other rights to content, images, photos or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or the specifically named rights holders. Prior written consent of the copyright holder must be obtained for the reproduction of all files.

Anyone who commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective rights holder may be liable to prosecution and may also be liable for damages.

General Disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We endeavour to provide our information offering up to date, factually correct and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, and we therefore do not assume any guarantee for the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of information, including information of a journalistic editorial nature. Liability claims for damages of a material or immaterial nature caused by the use of the information provided are excluded, unless there is proven wilful intent or gross negligence.

The publisher may, at its own discretion and without notice, change or delete texts and is not obliged to update the content of this website. Use of or access to this website is at the visitor’s own risk. The publisher, its clients or partners are not responsible for damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental, specifically determinable in advance, or consequential damages allegedly arising from visiting this website and therefore assume no liability.

The publisher also assumes no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third party websites that can be accessed via external links on this website. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content. The publisher therefore expressly distances itself from all third party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that violates common decency.

Changes

We may amend this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website shall apply. Insofar as this Privacy Policy is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of any update by email or by other suitable means.

Questions to the Data Protection Officer

If you have questions about data protection, please send us an email or contact directly the person responsible for data protection listed at the beginning of this Privacy Policy within our organisation.
