GENERAL NOTES

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy as well as 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 the legal data protection regulations as well as 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 would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can 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 in accordance with the following description. In principle, this website can be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or the name of the file accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. No data will be passed on to third parties without your consent.

PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is a person about whom personal data are processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, irrespective of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process personal data – to the extent and insofar as the EU Data Protection Regulation applies – in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 DSGVO:

• 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 for the performance of a legal obligation to which we are subject pursuant to any applicable law of the EU or pursuant to any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.
• lit. d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
• lit. f) Processing of personal data in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject are overridden. 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 purposes. In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT 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 terminal device while the user is using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyse behaviour patterns of page use, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be called up again when the page is visited again. If you do not wish this to happen, you should set your internet browser to refuse cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be made for a large number of the services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site HTTP://WWW.ABOUTADS. INFO/CHOICES/ or the EU page HTTP://WWW.YOURONLINECHOICES.COM/ can be explained. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this online offer.

DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT FOR SSL/TLS ENCLOSURE

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock 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 PROTECTION STATEMENT FOR SERVER LOG FILES

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

SERVICES BY THIRD PARTIES

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 of the American Google LLC use, among other things, cookies and, as a result, data is transferred 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 providing adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shields.

For more information, please see the PRIVACY SHIELD OF GOOGLE..

DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION FOR RIGHT TO ACCESS, DELETE, BLOCK

You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data. For this purpose as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT FOR OPPOSITION TO ADVERTISING MAILS

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation to send advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam e-mails.

DATA PROTECTION STATISTICS

Since we are a bit of a “whizz kid” we are interested from time to time in how many people have visited our website, and perhaps which content page has been viewed the most. For this we collect locally hosted, anonymised statistics.

RIGHTS OF COPYRIGHT

The copyright and all other rights to the content, images, photos or other files on the website, belong exclusively to the operator of this website or to the specifically named rights holders. For the reproduction of any files, the written consent of the copyright holder must be obtained in advance.

Whoever commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective copyright holder may be liable to prosecution and at most to damages.

You can find out more about copyright at IMPRINT.

ALL DISCLAIMER

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date, accurate and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, which means that we cannot guarantee the completeness, correctness and up-to-dateness of information, including journalistic and editorial information. Liability claims regarding damage caused by the use of any information provided, including any kind of information which is incomplete or incorrect,will therefore be rejected.

The publisher may change or delete texts at its own discretion and without notice and is not obliged to update any contents of this website. Use of or access to this website is at the visitor’s own risk. The publisher, its principals or partners are not responsible for any damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or special damages, alleged to have been caused by the use of this website and consequently assume no liability for such damages.

The publisher also accepts no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links on this website. The operators of the linked sites are solely responsible for their content. The publisher thus expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that may be contrary to public morality.

AMENDMENTS

We may amend this privacy policy at any time without notice. The most current version published on our website will apply. To the extent that the Privacy Policy is part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of the change by email or other appropriate means in the event that it is updated.

QUESTIONS TO THE DATA PROTECTION OFFICER

If you have any questions about data protection, please email us or contact the data protection officer in our organisation listed at the beginning of this privacy statement directly.
