General information

According to Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), everyone has the right to privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operator of this website takes 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 Statement.

We work diligently with our hosting providers to ensure that the databases are protected as much as possible from access, loss, misuse or tampering by third parties.

Please be aware that there are inherent security risks in transmitting data, such as e-mails, over the Internet. It is not possible to completely protect data from unwanted access by third parties.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with this Privacy Statement. In principle, this website can be visited without registration. Data such as the pages or the name of the files accessed as well as the respective date and time stamps are stored on the server for statistical purposes only and are not directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your prior consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the collection, disclosure, retrieval, erasure, storage, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection legislation. In addition, and to the extent that the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds under Article 6(1) of the 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 carrying out appropriate pre-contractual measures.
• lit. c) processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject in accordance with any applicable EU law or in accordance with the applicable law of any country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.
• 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 the legitimate interests of us or a third party, unless the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights as well as the interests of the data subject are overridden. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interests in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the purpose or purposes for which it is processed. If we are required to retain personal data for a longer period of time due to legal or other obligations, we will limit the processing accordingly.

Cookie privacy statement

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow specific, user-related information to be stored on the user's device while using the website. In particular, cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of each page, so that we can analyze the use of the website and make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not wish this to happen, you should set your Internet browser to refuses cookies.

A general opt-out of the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes, in particular for tracking, can be declared on a number of services via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Cookies can also be disabled in your browser settings. Please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the features of this website.

SSL/TLS Encryption Privacy Statement

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and the padlock icon appears in your browser bar.

The information you send to us cannot be read by third parties when SSL or TLS encryption is enabled.

Third party services

Please note that the operation of our website and servers are hosted by the provider Webflow, Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103 in the USA. The transfer of data is governed by the EU-US Privacy Shield, which you can view at this link. We have also entered into an agreement with Webflow based on Art. 28 GDPR in conjunction with the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. For more information about Webflow's privacy policy, please visit the following link (English): https://webflow.com/privacy.

The services provided by the US company Google LLC use cookies and as a result data is transferred to Google in the US, although we assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.

Google is committed to providing adequate data protection in accordance with the US-EU and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

For more information, please see Google's privacy policy

Privacy statement for contact form

If you send us an enquiry via the contact form, we will store your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, for the purposes of processing the enquiry and any follow-up enquiries. We will not share this information without your prior consent.

Privacy policy for newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No other information is collected. We will only use this data to send you the requested information and will not pass it on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, e.g. via the “unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

Copyrights

The copyright and all other rights to content or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or the specifically named rights holders. In addition to the owner's photo, the images have been used from platforms (in this case unsplash.com, pixabay.com) whose licenses state that the images may be used freely for non-commercial and commercial purposes without further permission. The written permission of the copyright holder must be obtained in advance to reproduce any content (except for images from external platforms, where the respective licenses apply).

Anyone who commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective rights holder may be prosecuted and liable to pay damages.

General disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to provide up-to-date, accurate and complete information. However, errors cannot be completely ruled out, so we cannot guarantee that the information, including journalistic and editorial information, is complete, accurate or up-to-date. Liability claims arising from material or immaterial damage caused by the use of the information provided are excluded, unless there is evidence of wilful or grossly negligent fault.

The publisher may, at its sole discretion and without notice, change or delete text and is not obliged to update the content of this website. Use of or access to this website is at the visitor's own risk. The publisher, its clients or partners are not responsible for any damage, such as direct, indirect, accidental, specific or consequential damage, allegedly caused by visiting this website and therefore accept no liability for this.

The publisher also accepts no responsibility or liability for the content or availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links on this website. The content of linked sites is the sole responsibility of their operators. The publisher therefore expressly dissociates itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that may violate common decency.

Note regarding data transfers to the USA (United States of America)

For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out that there are surveillance measures in place by the US authorities for users based in Switzerland, which generally allow for the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that has been transferred to the US.

This is done without any distinction, limitation or exception based on the objectives pursued and without any objective criterion that would allow the access and subsequent use of the data by the US authorities to be restricted to very specific and limited purposes that could justify the measures related to the access and use of these data. Furthermore, we would like to point out that there are no legal remedies in the US for Swiss data subjects to access, correct or delete their data, and that there is no effective judicial protection against the general access rights of the US authorities. We expressly draw the data subject's attention to this legal and factual situation so that he or she can make an informed decision about consenting to the use of his or her data.

We would like to draw the attention of users residing in an EU Member State to the fact that, from the perspective of the European Union, the US does not provide an adequate level of data protection.

Changes

We may change this privacy policy at any time without notice. The current version posted on our website will apply. If the Privacy Policy forms part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of the change by email or other appropriate means when the Privacy Policy is updated.

Questions to the data protection officer

If you have any questions about privacy, please send us an email or contact the Data Protection Officer of our organisation listed at the top of this Privacy Statement.
