Privacy Policy

Based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), every individual has the right to the protection of their personal data and privacy. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously and process it in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy. All personal data is handled confidentially and with appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure its security.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) 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 generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or names of files accessed, as well as the date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to you. If personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

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

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:

We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose(s). In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information provided by us is up-to-date, correct, and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, so we do not assume any liability for the completeness, correctness, and up-to-dateness of the information, including journalistic-editorial texts. Liability claims arising from damages of a material or immaterial nature caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information are generally excluded. The publisher may change or delete texts at its own discretion and without prior notice and is not obliged to update the contents of this website. The use of this website or access to it is at the visitor's own risk. The publisher, his clients, or partners are not responsible for damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, allegedly caused by visiting this website, and therefore do not accept any 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 from this website.

The publisher expressly distances himself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that offends good morals.

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

The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the 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 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. We would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp();", which ensures that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form and excludes a direct personal reference. If the data collected about you is assigned a personal reference, this is immediately excluded, and the personal data is deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and there truncated. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator. For the exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google is certified under 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 usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all the features of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Analytics opt-out.

Additionally, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Google Analytics opt-out. This will place an 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, this opt-out cookie will also be deleted, meaning you will have to set the opt-out cookie again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. Opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and therefore need to be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

This website uses Google WebFonts to ensure uniform font representation. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required Web Fonts into its browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
