General information

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and protection against 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 statutory data protection provisions and this Privacy Policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as effectively as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may 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. In general, this website can be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed, the names of retrieved files, and the date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to you. Where possible, personal data, in particular your name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis. We do not disclose this data to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data means any 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 methods used, in particular retaining, disclosing, obtaining, deleting, storing, altering, destroying, and using personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Where the EU GDPR applies, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(1) GDPR:

  • Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): The data subject has consented to the processing of personal data relating to them for one or more specific purposes.
  • Performance of a contract and pre-contractual enquiries (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR): Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject before entering into a contract.
  • Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR): Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  • Protection of vital interests (Article 6(1)(d) GDPR): Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
  • Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, unless those interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require protection of personal data.
  • Application procedures as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Article 9(2)(b) GDPR): Where special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR, such as health data concerning severe disability or ethnic origin, are requested from applicants during the application procedure so that the controller or data subject can exercise rights and comply with obligations under employment, social security, and social protection law, such data is processed under Article 9(2)(b) GDPR. It is processed under Article 9(2)(c) GDPR where necessary to protect the vital interests of applicants or other persons, or under Article 9(2)(h) GDPR for preventive or occupational medicine, assessment of an employee's working capacity, medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment, or the management of health or social care systems and services. Where special categories of data are disclosed on the basis of voluntary consent, they are processed under Article 9(2)(a) GDPR.
  • We process personal data for as long as required for the relevant purpose or purposes. If we are subject to longer retention obligations arising from legal or other requirements, we restrict processing accordingly.

In accordance with Article 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing. If a legal basis is not stated in this Privacy Policy, the following applies: the legal basis for obtaining consent is Articles 6(1)(a) and 7 GDPR; the legal basis for processing to provide our services, perform contractual measures, and respond to enquiries is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing to comply with our legal obligations is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR; and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If processing personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

In accordance with statutory requirements, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk. In doing so, we consider the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing, and the varying likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

These measures include safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to it, as well as access, entry, disclosure, availability, and separation of the data. We have also established procedures that enable data subjects to exercise their rights, ensure the deletion of data, and provide responses to threats to data. We further consider the protection of personal data when developing or selecting hardware, software, and procedures, in line with the principles of data protection by design and by default.

Disclosure of personal data

As part of our processing of personal data, data may be transferred or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons. Recipients may include service providers commissioned to perform IT tasks or providers of services and content embedded in a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, enter into appropriate contracts or agreements with recipients to protect your data.

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country, meaning outside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), or if processing takes place through the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies, or companies, we do so only in accordance with statutory requirements.

Unless explicit consent has been given or a transfer is required by contract or law, we process data only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, subject to contractual obligations based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, applicable certifications, or binding internal data protection rules (Articles 44 to 49 GDPR; European Commission information page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en).

Privacy policy for cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from websites or domains visited 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 service. Stored information may include language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the point at which a video was viewed. We also use the term cookies to include other technologies that perform the same functions, for example where user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as user IDs.

We distinguish between the following types and functions of cookies:

  • Temporary cookies (also called session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted no later than when a user leaves an online service and closes their browser.
  • Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored after the browser is closed. For example, login status may be retained or preferred content may be displayed immediately when the user visits a website again. User interests used for reach measurement or marketing purposes may also 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 and other third parties to process user information.
  • Necessary cookies (also called essential or strictly necessary cookies): Cookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of a website, for example to store login details or other user input, or for security reasons.
  • Statistics, marketing, and personalization cookies: Cookies are also commonly used to measure reach and when a user's interests or behavior, such as viewing particular content or using certain functions, are stored in a user profile across individual websites. These profiles are used, for example, to show users content that may match their interests. This process is also known as tracking. If we use cookies or tracking technologies, we provide separate information in this Privacy Policy or when obtaining consent.
  • Information on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data with cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If we do and you consent to the use of cookies, your consent is the legal basis for processing your data. Otherwise, data processed with cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests, for example in the commercial operation and improvement of our online service, or where the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we provide explicit information about the storage period of persistent cookies, for example as part of a cookie opt-in, please assume that they may be stored for up to two years.

General information on withdrawing consent and objecting (opt-out): Depending on whether processing is based on consent or statutory authorization, you may withdraw consent or object to the processing of your data through cookie technologies at any time, collectively referred to as opting out. You can first exercise your objection through your browser settings, for example by disabling cookies, although this may also restrict the functionality of our online service. You can also object to the use of cookies for online marketing through various services, particularly for tracking, at https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Further information about objections may be included in the details concerning the service providers and cookies we use.

Processing cookie data on the basis of consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure through which users' consent to the use of cookies, and to the processing and providers identified in that procedure, can be obtained, managed, and withdrawn. The declaration of consent is stored so that we do not need to request it again and can demonstrate consent as required by law. Consent may be stored on the server and/or in a cookie, known as an opt-in cookie, or by comparable technologies, so that it can be associated with a user or their device. Unless specific information is provided for an individual cookie management provider, the following applies: consent may be stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored together with the time of consent, information on its scope, such as the cookie categories and/or service providers covered, and the browser, system, and device used.

  • Types of data processed: usage data, such as websites visited, interest in content, and access times; metadata and communication data, such as device information and IP addresses.
  • Data subjects: users, such as website visitors and users of online services.
  • Legal bases: consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Privacy policy for SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser address changes from "http://" to "https://" and a padlock symbol appears in your browser bar.

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

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 from the US company Google LLC use cookies, among other technologies, and data is consequently transferred to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context solely through the use of our website.

Google has undertaken to provide adequate data protection in accordance with the US-EU and US-Swiss Privacy Shield frameworks.

Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

Privacy policy for the contact form

If you send us enquiries through the contact form, we store the information you provide in the form, including your contact details, to process the enquiry and respond to any follow-up questions. We do not disclose this data without your consent.

Rights of data subjects

Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the website operator as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If you wish to exercise this right, you may contact the data protection officer at any time.

Right of access

Every person whose personal data is processed has the right to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information from the operator of this website about the personal data stored concerning them and a copy of that information. Where applicable, the following information may also be provided:

  • the purposes of processing

If you wish to exercise this right of access, you may contact our data protection officer at any time.

Right to rectification

Every person whose personal data is processed has the right to request the prompt rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by providing a supplementary statement.

If you wish to exercise this right to rectification, you may contact our data protection officer at any time.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every person whose personal data is processed has the right to request that the controller of this website erase personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and processing is not required:

  • the personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary
  • the data subject withdraws the consent on which processing was based and there is no other legal basis for processing
  • the data subject objects to processing on grounds relating to their particular situation and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing and related profiling
  • the personal data was processed unlawfully
  • the personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation under EU or member state law to which the controller is subject
  • the personal data was collected in connection with information society services offered directly to a child

Right to restriction of processing

Every person whose personal data is processed has the right to request that the controller of this website restrict processing where one of the following conditions applies:

  • the data subject disputes the accuracy of the personal data, for a period that allows the controller to verify its accuracy
  • processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes erasure of the personal data and instead requests restriction of its use
  • the controller no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims
  • the data subject has objected to processing on grounds relating to their particular situation and it has not yet been determined whether the controller's legitimate grounds override those of the data subject
  • If one of the above conditions applies and you wish to request restriction of personal data stored by the operator of this website, you may contact our data protection officer at any time. The data protection officer will arrange for processing to be restricted.

Right to data portability

Every person whose personal data is processed has the right to receive personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to have this data transmitted to another controller where the statutory requirements are met.

The data subject also has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another where technically feasible, provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To exercise your right to data portability, you may contact the data protection officer appointed by the operator of this website at any time.

Right to object

Every person whose personal data is processed has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning them at any time on grounds relating to their particular situation.

If an objection is made, the operator of this website will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or unless processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

To exercise your right to object, you may contact the data protection officer of this website directly.

Every person whose personal data is processed has the right to withdraw consent previously given for the processing of personal data at any time.

If you wish to exercise your right to withdraw consent, you may contact our data protection officer at any time.

Objection to promotional emails

We object to the use of contact details published as part of the legal notice requirement for sending advertising and informational materials that have not been expressly requested. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action if unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails, is sent.

To provide paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, so that we can fulfil your order or engagement. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods expire.

Privacy policy for Google Analytics, Leadinfo & Generator

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

The statistics obtained allow us to improve our services and make them more useful to you. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows through a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can disable cross-device analysis of your use in your account settings under "My Data" and "Personal Data."

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser through Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data. Please note that Google Analytics on this website has been extended with the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. IP addresses are therefore processed in shortened form, which prevents them from being linked to a person. If data collected about you can be linked to you personally, that link is removed immediately and the personal data is deleted without delay.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet use.

Google Analytics uses cookies. Information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transferred to and stored on a Google server in the USA. You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. Please note that doing so may prevent you from using all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of this website, including your IP address, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available through Google to disable Google Analytics.

Use of Google Web Fonts

This website uses web fonts provided by Google to display fonts consistently. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache so that text and fonts are displayed correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.

Further information about Google Web Fonts is available at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage website tags through an interface and integrate services such as Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process users' personal data. For information about the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the details concerning Google services below. Terms of use: https://www.google.com/intl/en/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Notice concerning data transfers to the USA

Our website incorporates tools from companies based in the USA, among others. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the relevant companies. Please note that the USA is not considered a secure third country under EU data protection law. US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without giving you, as a data subject, the opportunity to challenge this in court. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities, such as intelligence agencies, may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data held on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Copyright and all other rights in content, images, photographs, or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or the specifically named rights holders. The copyright holder's prior written consent must be obtained before reproducing any files.

Anyone who infringes copyright without the consent of the relevant rights holder may be subject to criminal prosecution and may be liable for damages.

Nevertheless, errors cannot be entirely ruled out, so we cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timeliness of any information, including journalistic and editorial content. Liability claims for material or non-material damage caused by the use of the information provided are excluded unless intentional or grossly negligent conduct can be demonstrated.

The publisher may modify or delete text at its discretion and without notice and is not obliged to update the content of this website. Visitors use and access this website at their own risk.
