General Information

On the basis of Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Confederation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP), every person has the right to protection of their privacy as well as protection from the 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 provisions and this privacy policy.

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

We point out that the transmission of data on the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to 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 set out below. This website can, in principle, be visited without registration. In doing so, data such as the pages accessed or the names of the files retrieved, the date and the time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being related directly to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address, is collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. The data is not passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data means all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing covers any handling of personal data, irrespective of the means and procedures applied, in particular the retention, disclosure, obtaining, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, insofar and as long as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6(1) GDPR:

lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject as well as for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of the EU or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.
lit. d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of ourselves or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights as well as the interests of the data subject override those interests. Legitimate interests are 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 period of time required for the respective purpose or purposes. Where longer retention obligations arise from statutory and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict the processing accordingly.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files which make it possible to store specific, user-related information on the user’s terminal device while they are using the website. Cookies make it possible in particular to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyse patterns of page usage, and also to make our offering more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved again on a subsequent visit to the site. If you do not wish this, you should configure your internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies employed for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, above all 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 settings of your browser. Please note that in that case it may not be possible to use all functions of this online offering.

Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries which you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data which 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 e-mail service without SSL encryption is visible to anyone. You can recognise an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser displays “http://” and no padlock symbol is displayed in your browser line. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may in certain circumstances be transmitted via networks of third-party providers. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or documents transmitted over such open networks or networks of third-party providers.

If you disclose personal information over an open network or networks of third-party providers, you should be aware of the fact 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 in many cases the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and of the recipient are not. Even if the sender and the recipient live in the same country, data transmission over such networks frequently takes place, without controls, via third countries as well, i.e. also via countries which do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We accept no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the internet and disclaim any liability for indirect and direct 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 possibly be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorised persons. As far as possible, we take suitable technical and organisational security measures in order to prevent this within our system. Your computer, however, is located outside the security area which we are able to control. It is incumbent upon you as the user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take suitable measures in this respect. As the website operator, we are in no event liable for damage which may arise for you from data loss or data manipulation.

Data which you provide in online forms may be passed on to commissioned third parties for the purpose of order processing and may be viewed and, where applicable, processed by them.

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 are:

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 attributed to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Third-Party Services

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

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

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

Further information can be found in the Google privacy policy.

Privacy Policy for the Contact Form

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

In detail: The form transmits your name, your e-mail address, an optional subject line and the text of your message. The message is sent to the operator’s mailbox and kept there for as long as it takes to answer it and deal with any follow-up questions. No database and no mailing list is created; the details are not used for advertising and are not passed on to third parties.

Protection against junk mail: To keep automated programs from abusing the form, the number of messages per sender is limited. For this purpose the IP address itself is not stored — only a check value derived from it that cannot be reversed, together with the time. That entry is deleted automatically after 24 hours at the latest. No cookies are set and no third-party services are involved; the processing takes place solely on this website’s own server.

The legal basis is your consent, which you give explicitly when submitting the form. You may withdraw it at any time without any particular form; simply write to the address given in the imprint.

Rights of Data Subjects

Right to confirmation

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

Right of access

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

the purposes of processing
the categories of personal data which are processed
the recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed
if possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning them, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
where the personal data is not collected from the data subject: any available information as to the origin of the data

The data subject furthermore has a right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject moreover 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 person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain 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 providing 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 person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand of the controller of this website that the personal data concerning them be erased without delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary
The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing
The data subject objects to the processing on grounds relating to 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 has 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 was collected in relation to information society services offered directly to a child

If one of the grounds named above applies and you wish to arrange for 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 arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without delay.

Right to restriction of processing

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand of the controller of this website the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions is met:

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, 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 it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
The data subject has objected to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation and it has not yet been established whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject

If one of the conditions named above is met and you wish to request the 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 the processing.

Right to data portability

Every person 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 further have the right to have this data transmitted to another controller where the statutory conditions are met.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain that the personal data be transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that the rights and freedoms of other persons are not adversely affected thereby.

In order to assert 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 person 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 where the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In order 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 person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw a consent given for the processing of personal data at any time.

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

Privacy Policy for Objection to Advertising E-Mails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending advertising and information material which has not been expressly requested is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for instance by means of spam e-mails.

Services Subject to Charges

For the provision of services subject to charges, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to be able to execute your order or your instruction. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Privacy Policy for Instagram

Functions of the Instagram service are integrated into our website. These functions are offered and integrated by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. If you are logged in to your Instagram account, you can link the contents of our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This enables Instagram to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We point out that we, as the provider of the pages, obtain no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or of its use by Instagram.

Further information on this can be found in the Instagram privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/

Privacy Policy for YouTube

Functions of the service “YouTube” are integrated into 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 available under the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=de&template=terms&hl=de. These provisions form a legally binding agreement between you and “YouTube” regarding the use of the services. The Google privacy policy explains how “YouTube” handles your personal data and protects your data when you use the service.

Contractual Services

We process the data of our contractual partners and interested parties as well as of other principals, customers, mandators, clients or contractual partners (uniformly referred to as “contractual partners”) in accordance with the data protection provisions of the Confederation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP) and the EU GDPR pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR, in order to provide our contractual or pre-contractual services to them. The data processed in this context, the nature, the scope and the purpose and the necessity of its processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.

The data processed includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g. names and addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail addresses and telephone numbers) as well as contract data (e.g. services availed of, contract contents, contractual communication, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history).

We do not, as a matter of principle, process special categories of personal data, except where these form part of a commissioned or contractually agreed processing operation.

We process data which is necessary for the establishment and performance of the contractual services and point out the necessity of providing it, insofar as this is not evident to the contractual partners. Disclosure to external persons or companies takes place only where this is necessary within the framework of a contract. When processing data provided to us within the framework of an assignment, we act in accordance with the instructions of the principals as well as the statutory requirements.

Within the framework of the use of our online services, we may store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests as well as the interests of the users in protection against misuse and other unauthorised use. This data is, as a matter of principle, not passed on to third parties, unless this is necessary for the pursuit of our claims pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.

The data is erased when it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of contractual or statutory duties of care as well as for dealing with any warranty and comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular intervals. In all other respects, the statutory retention obligations apply.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA

Among other things, tools of companies with their registered office in the USA are integrated into our website. When these tools are active, your personal data may be passed on to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the person concerned, being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be excluded that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

The copyright and all other rights in content, images, photographs or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or to the specifically named rights holders.

Google Analytics and cookies

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. It records which pages are opened and how often. These statistics help to improve the site.

Google Analytics is only loaded after you have expressly given your consent. As long as you have not consented, or have declined the notice, no script is loaded from Google, no connection to Google is established and no cookie is set. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 31 of the revised Swiss FADP.

If you consent, Google Analytics places cookies on your device and transmits usage data to Google. Your IP address is shortened before it is stored, so that it cannot be traced back to you. The data recorded includes the pages opened, the time spent, the approximate country of origin, the device type and the browser.

A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. Google LLC in the USA is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Even so, the level of data protection in the USA does not fully match the European and Swiss level; in particular, US authorities may access data under certain conditions. By consenting, you also consent to this transfer.

Your decision is stored only in your own browser (localStorage), not on our server. You can change it at any time: at the bottom left of the page you will find the button “Cookie settings”. After a withdrawal, Google Analytics is no longer loaded the next time you open a page. Cookies that have already been set can be deleted in your browser settings.

Independently of this, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data at all by installing Google’s browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
