Privacy Policy

General / Introduction

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), every person has the right to privacy and protection from the misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

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

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access 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 pages accessed or names of accessed files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly linked to you as a person. Where personal data (such as your name, address, or email address) are collected on our pages, this is done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data includes all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is an individual whose personal data are processed. Processing refers to any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, particularly the storage, transmission, acquisition, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Where the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds in connection with Article 6(1) GDPR:

a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
b) Processing of personal data for the fulfillment of a contract with the data subject and to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures.
c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that these are not outweighed by the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Legitimate interests particularly include our commercial interest in being able to provide our website, ensuring information security, enforcing our legal claims, and complying with Swiss law.

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

Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow the storage of specific, user-related information on the user’s device while the user is using the website. Cookies enable us, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyze behavioral patterns of site usage, and to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when the site 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 made 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/. Additionally, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offer can be used to their full extent.

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 fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” 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.

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

These data cannot be directly assigned to specific individuals. These data will not be combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check these data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

Google WebFonts

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 your browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be 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/

YouTube

This website integrates functions of the “YouTube” service. “YouTube” is owned by Google Ireland Limited, a company established and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services within the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Your legal agreement with “YouTube” consists of the terms you can find at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=de&template=terms&hl=de. These terms form a legally binding agreement between you and “YouTube” regarding your use of the services. Google’s privacy policy explains how “YouTube” handles and protects your personal data when you use the service.

Vimeo

This website includes plugins from the Vimeo video portal, owned by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When you access a page offering 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. By interacting with the Vimeo plugins (e.g., clicking the start button), this information is also transmitted to Vimeo and stored there. The Vimeo privacy policy, with more information on the collection and use of your data by Vimeo, can be found in Vimeo’s privacy policy.

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 Vimeo membership data, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting this website.

Vimeo also calls the Google Analytics tracker through an iFrame in which the video is viewed. This is Vimeo’s own tracking, over which we have no control. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the deactivation tools that Google offers for some internet browsers. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Google Analytics

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

The statistics obtained allow us to 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 performed via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your use in the settings there under “My data,” “Personal data.”

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. We would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you can be linked to a person, this will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be promptly deleted.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be 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, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage 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 usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related 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 plugin available at the following link: Deactivate 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, you will also delete these opt-out cookies, meaning you will need to reset the opt-out cookies if you want to continue preventing this type of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and device, so they must be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to use the map function conveniently. 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 there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your profile to be associated with Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or tailored design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for non-logged-in users) to provide demand-oriented 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, and to exercise this right, you must contact Google. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please visit: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland “Google”). The query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or automated, machine processing. The query involves the transmission of the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. Your IP address will, however, be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. 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 also be transmitted to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the “Privacy Shield.” Google is certified under the “Privacy Shield” and has undertaken to comply with its provisions. By activating the query, you agree to the processing of your data. The processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
