General / Introduction
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Act on Data Protection (Data Protection Act, DSG), every individual is entitled to the protection of their privacy and to protection against 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 legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or tampering.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties 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 files accessed, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, such as names, addresses, or email addresses, are collected, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific information relating to the user to be stored on the user’s end 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 user behavior on the pages, but also to make our offer more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when the user revisits the site. If you do not wish this to happen, 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 declared for a variety of 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 achieved through deactivation in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offer can be used.

With 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, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. 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 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 browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request


Third-Party Services
This website may utilize Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services from the American company Google LLC may use cookies, resulting in data being transmitted to Google in the United States. We assume that, in this context, personal tracking does not occur 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 frameworks.

For more information, please refer to Google’s privacy policies.

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request from the data controller of this website the immediate erasure of personal data concerning them if one of the following reasons applies and processing is no longer necessary:

  • The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.

Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the data controller of this website to restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the data controller override those of the data subject. If one of the conditions above is met, and you wish to request the restriction of personal data stored by the operator of this website, you can contact our Data Protection Officer at any time. The Data Protection Officer of this website will initiate the restriction of processing.

Right to Data Portability

  • The processing is carried out by automated means. In exercising their right to data portability, the data subject also has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one data controller to another, where technically feasible and without hindrance to do so. The exercise of this right shall be without prejudice to the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). That right shall not apply where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller. To exercise the right to data portability, you can contact the Data Protection Officer appointed by the operator of this website at any time.

Right to Object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, at any time, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them for reasons arising from their particular situation.

If we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to us to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. To exercise the right to object, you can directly contact the Data Protection Officer of this website.

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date, correct, and complete. However, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, so we cannot guarantee the completeness, correctness, and timeliness of the information, including journalistic and editorial content. Liability claims relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information are fundamentally excluded. The publisher may change or delete texts at their discretion and without prior notice and is not obliged to update the content of this website. The use of this website or access to it is at the visitor’s own risk. The publisher, its customers, or partners are not responsible for damages such as direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages allegedly caused by visiting this website and, therefore, assume no liability for such damages. The publisher also assumes no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links from this website. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for the content of those linked sites. The publisher expressly distances itself from all foreign content that may be criminally or legally relevant or contrary to good morals.

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. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the respective subpage of our website, 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 them for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website to your needs. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide targeted 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, but you must contact Google to exercise this right. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights and privacy settings, please visit: Google Privacy Policy.

Google reCAPTCHA
This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, “Google”). The purpose of the query is to determine whether the input is made by a human or automated, mechanical processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, 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 before being transferred. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States 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 Google data. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the “Privacy Shield.” Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has submitted to the requirements. By pressing 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 on the basis of the consent until the revocation. For more information on Google reCAPTCHA and its privacy policy, please visit: Google reCAPTCHA Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then the data processing for Google Analytics is performed by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are collectively referred to as “Google” hereinafter. 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 traffic, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can disable 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) lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended to include the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form and cannot be directly linked to a specific individual. If data collected about you can be linked to a specific individual, this is immediately excluded, and the personal data is promptly deleted. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States 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 usage and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the United States, 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 a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings 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 the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to 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 Browser Add-On. You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Google Analytics Opt-Out. This will place an opt-out cookie on your device, preventing 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 activate the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. Opt-out cookies are set per browser and device, so you will need to enable them separately for each browser, computer, or other device.


Google WebFonts
This website uses web fonts provided by Google for the uniform presentation of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.

LinkedIn
Within our online offering, we use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn, provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”). These services use cookies, which are text files stored on your computer. This allows us to analyze your use of the website. For example, we can measure the success of our advertising and display products to users who have previously shown interest in them. Information such as the operating system, browser, previously visited website (referrer URL), visited pages, clicked offers, as well as the date and time of your visit to our website, may be collected. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to a LinkedIn server in the United States and stored there in pseudonymous form. LinkedIn does not store the name or email address of the respective user. Instead, the aforementioned data is only associated with the person for whom the cookie was created. This does not apply if the user has allowed LinkedIn to process the data without pseudonymization or if the user has a LinkedIn account. You can reject the use of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. Please note, however, that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website. You can also directly object to the use of your data by LinkedIn: LinkedIn Retargeting Opt-Out. We use LinkedIn Analytics to analyze the use of our website and regularly improve it. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. All LinkedIn companies have adopted standard contractual clauses to ensure that the data traffic to the United States and Singapore, which is necessary for the development, implementation, and maintenance of the services, is carried out in a lawful manner. When we ask users for consent, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the use of LinkedIn Analytics is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing operations.
