General note

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and thedata protection regulations of the Federal Republic of Germany (Data Protection Act, DSG ), every person is entitled to protection of his privacy as well as to protection against misuse of his/her personal data. The operators of these sites 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 data protection declaration.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as much as possible from third-party access, loss, misuse or counterfeiting.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against 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 always be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or the names of the retrieved file, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to you. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address are collected as far as possible on a voluntary basis. Without your consent, the data will not be passed on to third parties.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person through which personal data is processed. Editing includes all handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the retention, disclosure, procure, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, if and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(1). 1 GDPR:

  • Lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
  • Lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject as well as for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
  • Lit. c) Processing of personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject in accordance with applicable EU law or, if applicable, the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
  • Lit. (d) processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or any other natural person.
  • Lit. f) processing of personal data in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights as well as the interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests are, 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 duration required for the respective purpose or purpose. In the event of longer retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we shall restrict the processing accordingly.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific information related to the user on the user’s device while using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyse behaviours of the use of the site, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be revisited when you visit the site again. If you do not wish to do so, you should set your Internet browser to refuse to accept cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for the purposes of online marketing can be explained on a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by means of their shutdown in the settings of the browser. Please note that not all functions of this online offer can be used.

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 a site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.

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

Data transfer security (without SSL)

Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the Internet or an e-mail service without SSL encryption is accessible to everyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser displays “http://” and that no lock icon appears in your browser line. Information transmitted over the Internet and content received online may be transmitted over third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or documents transmitted through such open networks or third-party networks.

If you disclose personal information through an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data will be lost or that third parties are potentially accessing that information and, consequently, the data will be collect and use consent. In many cases, the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, but not the names of the sender and the recipient. Even if the sender and the recipient live in the same country, data is transmitted frequently and without controls via third countries, i.e. also via countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as your country of residence. We assume no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission via the Internet and disclaim any liability for direct and indirect losses. We kindly ask you to use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or reasonable for security reasons.

Despite extensive technical and organizational safeguards, data may be lost or intercepted and/or tampered with by unauthorized persons. We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures as far as possible to prevent this within our system. However, your computer is outside the security area that we can control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures in this regard. As a website operator, we are not liable for any damage that you may incur as a result of data loss or manipulation.

Data which you provide in online forms can be passed on to commissioned third parties for order processing and can be viewed by them and processed if necessary.

Note regarding data transfers to the USA (United States of America)

For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out that for users based in Switzerland there are surveillance measures by US authorities, which generally allows the storage of all personal data from Switzerland – which have been transferred to the USA.

This is done without differentiation, restriction or exception on the basis of the objectives pursued and without an objective criterion enabling access by the US authorities to be to limit the data and their subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes which can justify access to such data as well as their use. In addition, we would like to point out that in the USA there are no remedies for the data subjects from Switzerland, which would allow access to the data concerning you and to obtain their correction or deletion, or there is no effective judicial protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly draw the attention of the data subject to this legal and factual situation in order to make a correspondingly informed decision to consent to the use of his data.

We would like to point out to users residing in an EU Member State that the US does not have a sufficient level of data protection from the point of view of the European Union.

Changes

We may adjust this Privacy Policy at any time without notice. The current version published on our website applies. If the Privacy Policy is part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of the change by email or otherwise in the event of an update.
