GENERAL NOTE
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act,) every person is entitled 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 the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
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. Data such as the pages accessed or the names of the files accessed, the date, and the time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular your name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is being processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, saving, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, insofar as the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data in accordance with 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 and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
- lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable
- lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
- lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject do not override these interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in providing our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the period necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the event of longer storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
Data protection for cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that enable specific information relating to the user to be stored on the user's device while they are using the website. Cookies enable us to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, analyze behavior patterns in the use of the pages, and also make our offering more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored after the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not want this to happen, 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 a large number of services, especially 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 your browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offer may be available.
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 requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Data transmission security (without SSL)
Please note that data transmitted via an open network such as the Internet or an e-mail service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser displays “http://” and no lock symbol is displayed in your browser line. Information transmitted via the Internet and content received online may be transmitted via third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or documents transmitted via such open networks or third-party networks.
When you disclose personal information via an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or potentially accessed by third parties, who may then collect and use the data without your consent. Although individual data packets are often encrypted during transmission, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient reside in the same country, data transmission via such networks often takes place without controls via third countries, i.e., countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of residence. We accept no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission via the Internet and accept no liability for direct or indirect losses. We ask you to use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or reasonable for security reasons.
Despite extensive technical and organizational security measures, data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorized persons. We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent this within our system as far as possible. However, your computer is outside the security area that we can control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures in this regard. As the website operator, we are in no way liable for any damage you may incur as a result of data loss or manipulation.
Data that you provide in online forms may be passed on to third parties commissioned to process orders and may be viewed and, if necessary, 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
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of server request
This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently review this data if we become aware of specific indications of illegal 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 provided by the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred 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 US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.
Further information can be found in the Datenschutzerklärung von Google.

Services subject to a fee
In order to provide paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, so that we can execute your order or commission. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.
Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to 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 want 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 the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising 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, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
Google AdWords
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Adwords will place a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this purpose—for example, by setting your browser to generally disable the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com.”
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
Data protection for Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for 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 hereinafter referred to 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 cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under “My data,” “Personal data.”
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are truncated before further processing, thus ruling out any possibility of personal reference. If the data collected about you is of a personal nature, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
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, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is 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 usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Google Analytics deaktivieren.
You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Google Analytics deaktivieren. This will store a so-called opt-out cookie on your data carrier, 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 have to set the opt-out cookies again if you want to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

This website uses features from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

If you click on the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website with you and your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or its use by LinkedIn.
Further information on this can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
Use of Adobe Fonts
We use Adobe Fonts for the visual design of our website. Adobe Fonts is a service provided by Adobe Systems Incorporated, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110-2704, USA (Adobe), which grants us access to a font library. To integrate the fonts we use, your browser must connect to an Adobe server in the USA and download the font required for our website. This provides Adobe with information that our website has been accessed from your IP address. For more information about Adobe Fonts, please refer to Adobe's privacy policy, which you can access here: Adobe Fonts
Audio and video conferences
We use audio and video conferencing services to communicate with our users and other individuals. In particular, we can use these services to conduct audio and video conferences, virtual meetings, and training sessions such as webinars.
We only use services that guarantee adequate data protection. In addition to this privacy policy, any terms and conditions of the services used, such as terms of use or privacy policies, also apply.
In particular, we use Zoom, a service provided by the American company Zoom Video Communications Inc. Zoom also grants the rights under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to users in Switzerland. Further information on the type, scope, and purpose of data processing can be found in the data protection and on the “Legal Provisions and Privacy” page of Zoom's website.
Data protection for YouTube
This website incorporates features of the YouTube service. «YouTube» is owned by Google Ireland Limited, a company registered 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 found at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=de&template=terms&hl=de. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and YouTube regarding the use of the services. Google's privacy policy explains how YouTube handles your personal data and protects your data when you use the service.
Data protection for Vimeo
This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo, operated by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. Each time you visit a page that offers one or more Vimeo video clips, a direct connection is established between your browser and a Vimeo server in the USA. Information about your visit and your IP address is stored there. Through interactions with the Vimeo plugins (e.g., clicking the start button), this information is also transmitted to Vimeo and stored there. The privacy policy for Vimeo with more detailed information on the collection and use of your data by Vimeo can be found in the Datenschutzerklärung von Vimeo.
If you have a Vimeo user account and do not want Vimeo to collect data about you via this website and link it to your membership data stored with Vimeo, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting this website.
In addition, Vimeo calls up the Google Analytics tracker via an iFrame in which the video is called up. This is Vimeo's own tracking system, to which we have no access. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the deactivation tools that Google offers for some Internet browsers. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by Google Analytics and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
