General Notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Federal Government (Data Protection Act, DPA), every individual is entitled to the 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 regulations and this privacy policy.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. During visits to the website, 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, in particular name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis as much as possible. Without your consent, no data will be passed on to third parties.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific user-related information on the user’s device while using the website. Cookies enable us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our pages, to analyze behavioral patterns in page usage, and to make our services more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored after a browser session and can be retrieved when you revisit the website. If you do not wish this, you should set your internet browser to refuse cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this website may be fully usable.

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 inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line switching from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.

If 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 to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.

These services of the American company Google LLC use, among other things, cookies, and consequently, data is transferred to Google in the USA, assuming that no personal tracking is taking place solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring appropriate data protection under the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield agreements.

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

Privacy Policy for Contact Form

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

Privacy Policy for Newsletter Data

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

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enable you to conveniently use the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for advertising, market research, and/or personalized design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out, in particular, to provide needs-based advertising (even for users who are not logged in) and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google to exercise this right. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, please refer to Google’s privacy policy at www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy.

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 to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. Your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 data from Google. Your data may be transmitted to the USA in this process. Data transfers to the USA are subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the “Privacy Shield.” Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has submitted to its provisions. By activating the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent until revocation.

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the person responsible for data processing on this website resides outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are collectively referred to as “Google.”

Through the generated statistics, we can improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under “My Data,” “Personal Data.”

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in truncated form, making it impossible to link them to a person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded, and the personal data is deleted promptly.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself 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 a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser software accordingly; however, please note that you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent if you disable cookies. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Analytics opt-out.

Additionally, you can prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will save an 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 you will need to re-enable them if you wish to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.
