General

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the federal government (Data Protection Act, FADP), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect databases as much as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may 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, file names retrieved, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to you as a person.

Where personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis whenever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and insofar as the EU GDPR applies, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 (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 for compliance with a legal obligation under EU law or the applicable law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
  • (d) Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
  • (f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests particularly include our business interest in providing our website, information security, enforcing our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purpose(s). For longer storage obligations due to legal and other requirements to which we are subject, processing will be restricted accordingly.

Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific, user-related information to be stored on the user's device while the user is using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, analyze behavioral patterns of site usage, and make our offering more user-friendly.

Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved again when the page is revisited. If you do not wish this, you should set your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for many services, particularly tracking, via the U.S. site https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be disabled in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functions of this online service may be available.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address line changing from "https://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

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 company Google LLC use, among other things, cookies, which means that data is transmitted to Google in the USA. 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 U.S.-European and U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield.

Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.


Newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

After you have given your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter, you may revoke this consent at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe link" in the newsletter.

Comment Function

For the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created, your email address, and—if you are not posting anonymously—the username you selected will be stored.

Storage of IP Address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not check comments before they are published, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in cases of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to Comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check whether you are the owner of the specified email address. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the notification emails.

Copyright

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. Written permission from the copyright holder must be obtained in advance for the reproduction of any files.

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

Disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We strive to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date, accurate, and complete. Nevertheless, errors may occur, so we cannot assume any liability for completeness, correctness, or timeliness.

The publisher may change or delete texts at its own discretion and without notice and is not obliged to update the contents of this website. Use of this website or access to it is at the visitor's own risk. The publisher, its customers, or partners are not liable for damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, allegedly caused by visiting this website.

The publisher is also not responsible or liable for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links from this website. The operators of the linked sites are solely responsible for their content. The publisher expressly distances itself from all external content that may be criminally or civilly relevant or that may offend common decency.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you arrived at our website via a Google ad, a cookie is set on your computer by Google Ads. This cookie is valid for 30 days and is not used for personal identification.

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of the required cookie—for example, by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com."

Please note that if you delete the opt-out cookies, measurement data will once again be collected.

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 outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Both are referred to as "Google" below.

Google Analytics helps us improve our offering and make it more interesting for users. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows using a user ID.

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser is not merged with other Google data. This website uses the "_anonymizeIp();" extension, ensuring that IP addresses are processed in shortened form so that they cannot be linked to a person.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google processes this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The data generated by cookies is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent this by configuring your browser settings or by downloading and installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

You can also prevent Google Analytics by clicking this link: Deactivate Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie will then be stored, which prevents future collection of your data. Note: deleting all cookies will also delete this opt-out cookie.

Data Transfer to the USA

Our website uses tools provided by companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transmitted to the US servers of these companies.

We point out that the USA is not considered a safe third country under EU data protection law. U.S. companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without allowing you as a data subject to take legal action against it.

It cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on U.S. servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Disclaimer (Liability)

The author assumes no liability for the accuracy, precision, timeliness, reliability, or completeness of the information provided.

Claims for damages against the author for material or immaterial losses arising from access to, use, or non-use of the published information, misuse of the connection, or technical malfunctions are excluded.

All offers are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete, or temporarily or permanently discontinue parts of the pages or the entire offering without prior notice.
