Fundamentals

This website is subject to Swiss data protection law, in particular in accordance with the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and any applicable foreign data protection law, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union (EU). The EU recognizes that Swiss data protection law guarantees adequate data protection.

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 principle, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. surname, first name, telephone number, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that despite all the measures we have taken, data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps and therefore complete protection of data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed in every case.

Server log files

The hosting provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits. These are in particular:

  • 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 assigned 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 specific indications of unlawful use.

This data cannot be assigned 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 specific indications of unlawful use.

The primary purpose of this data collection is to evaluate and prevent attempted attacks on the website. Hosting providers are also legally obliged in certain situations to be able to provide information on where access was gained from in order to counter criminal activities.

SSL encryption

To protect the transmission of confidential data via our forms and for security reasons, we use SSL encryption technology. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line "https://" and the lock symbol displayed in the browser. Data that is encrypted using SSL cannot be read by third parties during transmission.

Google Maps

We integrate the map service "Google Maps" of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This integration means that data is exchanged in the background for tracking purposes.

If you do not wish to disclose any data about yourself, please log out of your Google account or use a plugin such as Ghostery to block the exchange of data. Here you can find the Google Privacy Policy .

Integration of third-party services and content

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated into this online offering. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") are aware of the IP address of the user. Because without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as we are aware, we will inform users of this.

If you do not wish to disclose any data about yourself, please log out of your Google account or use a plugin such as Ghostery to block the exchange of data. Here you can find the Google Privacy Policy .

Right to information, deletion & blocking

You have the right to receive information about your stored personal data free of charge at any time. In particular, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing as well as a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of this data.
