General notice

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

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification. We 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 retrieved, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. No data is passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing covers any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, collection, deletion, retention, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, where and insofar as the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 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 and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable EU law or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is wholly or partly applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms, fundamental rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests include 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 as long as is 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 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 use the website. Cookies make it possible in particular to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyse patterns of page use, but also to make our offering more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved again on a subsequent visit. If you do not want this, you should set your internet browser to refuse cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies employed for online marketing purposes can be declared for 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 prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functions of this online offering may be available.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise 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 or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Data transmission security (without SSL)
Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the internet or an email service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognise an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser shows «http://» and no lock symbol is displayed in your browser line. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may be transmitted via third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or documents transmitted via such open networks or third-party networks.

If you disclose personal information via an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or that third parties may potentially access this information and consequently collect and use the data without your consent. Although in many cases the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient live in the same country, data transmission via such networks frequently and without controls also passes through third countries, i.e. countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We accept no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the internet and reject any liability for direct and indirect losses. We ask you to use other means of communication should you consider this necessary or reasonable for security reasons.

Despite extensive technical and organisational security precautions, data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorised persons. Wherever possible, we take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to prevent this within our system. However, your computer is outside the security area 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 the website operator, we accept no liability whatsoever for damage you may suffer from data loss or manipulation. Data you provide in online forms may be passed on to commissioned third parties for the purpose of order processing and may be viewed and, where applicable, processed by them.

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, although we assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context solely through the use of our website. Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

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

Privacy policy for contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Privacy policy for newsletter data
If you wish to receive 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 to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the «unsubscribe» link in the newsletter.

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

Right of access

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the operator of this website, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, information may be provided on the following: the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, where possible the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period, the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning them or to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, and where the personal data is not collected from the data subject: any available information as to the source of the data.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. If you wish to exercise this right of access, you may contact our data protection officer at any time.

Right to rectification

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them without undue delay. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of 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 data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller of this website the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

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 the processing was based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in the case of direct marketing and related profiling. The personal data was processed unlawfully. The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. The personal data was collected in relation to the offer of information society services made directly to a child. If one of the above grounds applies and you wish to have personal data stored by the operator of this website erased, you may contact our data protection officer at any time. The data protection officer of this website will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay.

Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain from the controller of this website the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies: the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead. The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. The data subject has objected to processing on grounds relating to their particular situation, pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the above conditions applies and you wish to request the 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 of this website will arrange for the restriction of processing.

Right to data portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right, where the legal requirements are met, to have this data transmitted to another controller. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the 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 data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them. In the event of an objection, the operator of this website will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. To exercise the right to object, you may contact the data protection officer of this website directly.

Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw consent given to 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.

Privacy policy for Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as «Google». The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there 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 is not merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that Google Analytics on this website has been extended with the code «_anonymizeIp();» to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are processed in truncated form, so that any link to a person can be ruled out. Insofar as the data collected about you has a personal reference, this is therefore immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 the website operator with other services related to website and internet use. 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 a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics. You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This stores a so-called 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, i.e. you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.

Privacy policy for Instagram
Functions of the Instagram service are integrated on our website. These functions are offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. We point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram. Further information can be found in

Instagram's privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/

Privacy policy for LinkedIn
This website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our web pages with your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn «Recommend» button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website with you and your user account. We point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn. Further information can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Privacy policy for YouTube
Functions of the «YouTube» service are integrated on this website. «YouTube» is owned by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland. Your legal agreement with «YouTube» consists of the terms and conditions found at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=de&template=terms&hl=de. These terms form a legally binding agreement between you and «YouTube» regarding the use of the services. Google's privacy policy explains how «YouTube» handles and protects your personal data when you use the service.

Notice 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, surveillance measures by US authorities exist which generally allow the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that has been transferred to the USA. This takes place without differentiation, limitation or exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective criterion that would make it possible to restrict access by US authorities to the data and its subsequent use to specific, strictly limited purposes capable of justifying the interference entailed by both access to and use of that data. We further point out that in the USA, data subjects from Switzerland have no legal remedies that would allow them to obtain access to the data concerning them and to obtain its rectification or erasure, and that there is no effective judicial protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly draw the attention of data subjects to this legal and factual situation so that they can make an appropriately informed decision on consenting to the use of their data. We would like to point out to users resident in an EU Member State that, from the perspective of the European Union, the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection.
