Data Protection

General Privacy Policy

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 accessed pages or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, particularly name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Without your consent, no data will be passed on to third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, particularly the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, modification, destruction, and use of personal data. We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Additionally, we process personal data – insofar as and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable – based on the following legal grounds in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR: a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable EU law or the law of a country where 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. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh these interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our economic 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 duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Privacy Policy for SSL 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 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. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Third-Party Services

This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos. These services of the American Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transmitted to Google in the USA, whereby we assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website. Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the American-European and the American-Swiss Privacy Shield. Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy.
