General information

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to privacy and protection from 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent 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, in particular name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible.

Without your consent, the data will not be passed on to third parties.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user’s computer.

A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online offering. The stored information may include, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a shopping cart or the place where a video was watched. We also include other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g. when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as ‘user IDs’) under the term ‘cookies’.

The following types of cookies and functions are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed their browser.
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. This allows, for example, the login status to be stored or preferred content to be displayed directly when the user revisits a website. Similarly, the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes, can be stored in such a cookie.
  • First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us.
  • Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  • Necessary (also: essential or strictly necessary) cookies: Cookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user input or for security reasons).
  • Statistics, marketing and personalisation cookies: Furthermore, cookies are usually used for reach measurement and when a user’s interests or behaviour (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) are stored in a user profile on individual websites.

Such profiles are used, for example, to display content that corresponds to the user’s potential interests. This process is also referred to as ‘tracking’, i.e. tracking the potential interests of users. Such profiles are used, for example, to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. This process is also referred to as ‘tracking’, i.e. tracking the potential interests of users. If we use cookies or ‘tracking’ technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or when obtaining your consent.

Information on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If this applies and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for the processing of your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the economic operation of our online offering and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we provide you with explicit information about the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g. in the context of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to revoke your consent or object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (collectively referred to as ‘opt-out’).

You can initially express your objection via your browser settings, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (although this may also restrict the functionality of our online offering).

You can also object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes via a variety of services, particularly in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://. An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/.

In addition, you can obtain further information on objections in the context of the information provided on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure in which users’ consent to the use of cookies or the processing and providers specified in the cookie consent management procedure is obtained and can be managed and revoked by users. The declaration of consent is stored so that it does not have to be requested again and so that consent can be proven in accordance with the legal obligation. Storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The duration of storage of the consent can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information about the scope of consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) and the browser, system and end device used.

  • Types of data processed: usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Privacy policy for SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
