General Information
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Federal Data Protection Act, FADP), everyone has the right to privacy and protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website 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 strive to protect the databases as effectively as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) can have security vulnerabilities. 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 viewed or the names of files accessed, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, in particular name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Data will not be shared with third parties without your consent.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific, user-related information on the user's device while they are using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze user behavior on the site, and also to make our website more user-friendly. Cookies are stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be accessed again when you revisit the site. If you do not wish this, you should configure your internet browser to refuse cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that this may prevent you from using all the functions of this website.

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 requests you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.

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

Privacy Policy for 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 in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

Privacy Policy for Newsletter Data
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example, via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

Paid Services
To provide paid services, we request additional data from you, such as payment information, in order to process your order or request. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to below as "Google".

The statistics we gather allow us to improve our website 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 using a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can deactivate cross-device analysis of your usage in your account settings under "My Data," "Personal Data".

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code "_anonymizeIp();". The system has been extended to ensure the anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are shortened before further processing, thus preventing them from being linked to a specific individual. Therefore, any personal data collected about you is immediately anonymized and thus promptly deleted.

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 the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, 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 generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics.

Alternatively, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will store an opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents 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. This means that you will need to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. Opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage website tags via a single interface, enabling us to integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offerings. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of users. Regarding the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the information provided for the respective Google services. Terms of Use: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

Note regarding data transfer to the USA: Our website integrates tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. Please note that the USA is not considered a safe third country under EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, having any legal recourse. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
