General note
All individuals have the right to protection of their privacy and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. These rights are based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the provisions of Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (Datenschutzgesetz – DSG). The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with both statutory data protection regulations and this data protection policy.
Working together with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect databases as far as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.
Please note that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g. in e-mail communications) may be subject to security vulnerabilities; data cannot be fully protected against access by third parties.
By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. You can visit this website without having to register. When you visit the site, data is stored on the server for statistical purposes. This data may include details of the pages and/or the names of any files retrieved, the date and the time. This data cannot be directly attributed to you as an individual. Any personal data, specifically your name, address or e-mail address, will be collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible; this data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Processing of personal data
Personal data is defined as any information relating to a specific or identifiable individual. A data subject is defined as any person about whom personal data is processed. Processing encompasses all interactions with personal information, regardless of the means and procedures used. Such processing specifically includes, but is not limited to, the storage, publication, procurement, deletion, saving, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection legislation. Moreover, where and to the extent that the GDPR is applicable, we process personal data on the following legal bases as set out in Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
b) Processing of personal data in order to perform a contract to which the data subject is party and to take the necessary steps prior to entering into a contract.
c) Processing of personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject according to any applicable provisions of EU law, or according to any applicable legislation in any other country to which the GDPRapplies, in whole or in part.
d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural persons.
f) Processing of personal data in order to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, where the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights and interests of the data subject do not override these legitimate interests. Legitimate interests specifically include our commercial interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the assertion of our own legal rights and ensuring compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal information for as long as is required to achieve the relevant purpose or purposes. Where we are required to store the data for longer periods as a result of statutory and other obligations, we restrict processing accordingly.
Data protection policy for cookies
This site uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow user-specific information to be stored on the user’s end device while he/she is using the website. Specifically, cookies allow us to determine how frequently pages are used and the number of users using them; to analyse how the pages are used, and to make our Internet presence more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved if the page is visited again. If you do not want cookies to be stored, set up your Internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.
You can declare a general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes using a number of services. Particularly in respect of tracking cookies, you can make such a declaration via the United States-based website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU-based websitehttp://www.youronlinechoices.com/. You can also prevent cookies from being stored by switching them off using your browser settings. Please note that doing so may prevent you from using the full functionality of our online presence.
Data protection policy for SSL encryption
For security reasons, and to protect transmissions of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL encryption. If a connection is encrypted, the prefix ‘http://’ in the browser’s address bar will change to ‘https://’ and the padlock symbol will appear in the address bar.
If SSL encryption is enabled the data you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Data protection policy for server log files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files. Your browser automatically transmits this information to us. Server log files record the following data:
Browser type and browser version
The operating system used
The referrer URL
The host name of the computer accessing the page
The time of the server request
This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. This data is not merged with any other data sources. We reserve the right to examine this data retrospectively should we become aware of any concrete evidence of illegal use.
Data protection policy for the contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, we will store the details you provide on the contact form (including any contact details) for the purpose of dealing with your request and in order to respond to any follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
Data protection policy for Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google provides a browser plug-in that allows you to disable Google Analytics. You can find it at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Google analytics uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow user-specific information to be stored on the user’s end device while he/she is using the website. These cookies allow Google to analyse the way our web presence is used. Any information collected via the cookie on the way our pages are used (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to, and stored on, Google servers in the United States. Please note that Google Analytics has been extended on this website using the code ‘gat._anonymizeIp ();’. This allows the anonymised collection of IP addresses (known as ‘IP masking’). Where anonymisation is active, Google truncates IP addresses within European Union Member States or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. This makes it impossible to determine your identity. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. Google complies with the privacy regulations of the ‘Privacy Shield’ agreement and is registered with the US Department of Commerce’s Privacy Shield Program. Google uses the information we collect to evaluate the use of our websites, to compile reports on our behalf, and to provide us with other related services. For more information, see https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
