General / Introduction

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of these websites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with 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 via email) can be subject to security gaps. Complete protection of data from 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 you. If personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis, wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. 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 storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
(a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
(b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject and to take appropriate pre-contractual measures.
(c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the applicable law of a country in which 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.
Letter f) Processing of personal data to protect our or third parties' legitimate interests, unless the fundamental freedoms, rights, and interests of the data subject prevail. These legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest 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 the period necessary for the respective purpose(s). In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that enable specific, user-related information to be stored on the user's device while the user is using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency and number of users of the pages, to analyze behavioral patterns of page usage, and also to make our offering more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when the website is visited again. 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 declared for a variety of services, especially tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, cookies can be prevented by deactivating them in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online service 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 website operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

If 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 include:
Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request

This data cannot be assigned 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 concrete evidence of illegal use.

Third-Party Services

This website may use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.

These services, provided by the American company Google LLC, use cookies, among other things, which transfer data to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context simply through the use of our website.

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

For more information, see Google's privacy policy.

Disclaimer

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, accuracy, or timeliness of the information, including journalistic or editorial information.

The publisher may change or delete texts at its sole discretion and without prior notice and is not obligated to update the content of this website. 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 sites are solely responsible for their content. The publisher therefore expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant to criminal or liability law or violates common decency.

Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to conveniently use the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This happens 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 assigned to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website to meet your needs. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide tailored 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; to exercise this right, you must contact Google. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, can be found at: 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 was made by a human or by automated machine processing. The query involves the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 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 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 of the European Commission, the "Privacy Shield." Google participates in the "Privacy Shield" and has submitted to its requirements. By clicking on the query, you agree to the processing of your data. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate, for example, Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal user data. Regarding the processing of user data, we refer to the following information on Google services. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

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 gives 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 the information that our website was accessed via your IP address. For more information about Adobe Fonts, please see Adobe's privacy policy, which you can access here: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policy.html

YouTube

This website integrates features of the YouTube service. YouTube is owned by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated 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 available 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 your use of the services. Google's privacy policy explains how YouTube handles and protects your personal information when you use the service.

Vimeo

This website incorporates plug-ins from the video portal Vimeo, operated by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When 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. Interactions with the Vimeo plugins (e.g., clicking the start button) also transmit this information to Vimeo and store it there. Vimeo's privacy policy, which provides more information about 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 member data stored by Vimeo, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting this website.

In addition, Vimeo calls the Google Analytics tracker via an iFrame in which the video is called. This is Vimeo's own tracking, to which we have no access. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the opt-out tools provided by Google for some internet browsers. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by Google Analytics and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:
