Introduction

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and 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 and this data protection declaration. In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as much as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from 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. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or names of files accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly related to your person. As far as personal data (for example, name, address, or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis, as far as possible. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. An affected person 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, procurement, deletion, storage, modification, destruction, and use of personal data. We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data beyond that on the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR: lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject. lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject and to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures. lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under the law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable. lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject do not outweigh. 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 the duration that is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyze patterns of page usage, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not wish this, you should set your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a variety 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 deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functions of this online offer can be used.

SSL/TLS Encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator.

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

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 browser version Operating system used Referrer URL Hostname of the accessing computer Time of the server request

Rights of the Data Subject

Rights of the Data: Subject Right to Confirmation Every data subject has the right to request confirmation from the website operator as to whether personal data concerning them are being processed. If you wish to exercise this right of confirmation, you can contact the data protection officer at any time.

Right to Information: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain free information from the operator of this website at any time about the data stored about them and a copy of this information. In addition, information on the following may be provided: Purpose of processing Categories of processed personal data Recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed If possible, the planned duration of the storage of personal data or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration The existence of a right to correction or deletion of personal data concerning them or to restriction of processing by the person responsible for processing or a right to object to such processing The existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority If the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data. In addition, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer. If you wish to exercise this right to information, you can contact our data protection officer at any time.

Right to Correction: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data – also by means of a supplementary declaration. If you wish to exercise this right to correction, you can contact our data protection officer at any time.

Right to Deletion (Right to be Forgotten): Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand the immediate deletion of their personal data from the person responsible for processing this website, provided one of the following reasons applies and the processing is no longer necessary: The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary. The data subject revokes the consent on which the processing was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing. The data subject objects to the processing for reasons arising from their particular situation, and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in the case of direct advertising and associated profiling. The personal data have been processed unlawfully. The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the person responsible for processing is subject. The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered directly to a child. If one of the above reasons applies and you wish to arrange for the deletion of personal data stored by the operator of this website, you can contact our data protection officer at any time. The data protection officer of this website will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately.

Right to Restriction: of Processing Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand the restriction of processing from the person responsible for processing this website if one of the following conditions is met: The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period that allows the person responsible for processing to verify the accuracy of the personal data. The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the deletion of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data. The person responsible for processing no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. The data subject has objected to the processing for reasons arising from their particular situation, and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate interests of the person responsible outweigh those of the data subject. If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, you can contact our data protection officer at any time to request the restriction of the processing of personal data by the operator of this website. The data protection officer of this website will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

Right to Data Portability: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, common, and machine-readable format. In addition, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one data controller to another data controller, provided this is technically feasible and provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. To assert the right to data portability, you can contact the data protection officer appointed by the operator of this website at any time.

Right to Object:Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for reasons arising from their particular situation. The operator of this website will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. To exercise your right to object, you can contact the data protection officer of this website directly.

Right to Revoke: Consent to Data Processing Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you wish to exercise your right to revoke consent, you can contact our data protection officer at any time.

Disclaimer

All information on our website has been carefully checked. We strive to ensure that the information we provide is current, correct, and complete. However, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, so we cannot guarantee the completeness, correctness, and timeliness of the information, including journalistic-editorial nature. Liability claims relating to material or non-material damage 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 can 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, its clients, or partners are not responsible for damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, allegedly caused by visiting this website and therefore assume no liability for such damages. The publisher also assumes no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links from this website. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content. The publisher therefore expressly distances itself from all foreign content that may be relevant to criminal or liability law or that violates good morals.

Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function comfortably. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in with, or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please visit: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Ads will set a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse to set a cookie required for this – for example, by setting your browser to generally disable the automatic setting of cookies, or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”. Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This function is used to present interest-based advertising to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called “cookie” is stored in the visitor’s browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these websites, the visitor can be presented with advertising that relates to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function. According to its own statements, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. However, if you do not want to use Google’s remarketing function, you can generally deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense on this website. This is an advertising program from Google Inc. In Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google AdSense allows us to display ads on this website that are relevant to our topic.

Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google records which ads are displayed in which browser via a cookie ID, thus preventing them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, Google AdSense can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad impressions. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personal information.

Through the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google may find out and store your IP address.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:

by adjusting your browser software accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies will result in you not receiving ads from third parties; by disabling conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://adssettings.google.com, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; by disabling interest-based advertising from providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; by permanently disabling it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browsers via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent. The legal basis for the processing of your data is a balancing of interests, according to which the processing of your personal data described above does not outweigh your interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO). For more information about Google Ads from Google, visit https://ads.google.com/intl/en/home/, and for general privacy at Google: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at https://www.networkadvertising.org.

Google WebFonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used. For more information about Google Web Fonts, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Google TagManager

The Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offer. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of the users. With regard to the processing of users’ personal data, we refer to the following information on Google services. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

YouTube

This website includes features of the service “YouTube”. “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.

These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and “YouTube” regarding your use of the services. Google’s privacy policy explains how “YouTube” handles and protects your personal data when you use the service.

Vimeo

This website includes plugins from the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When you access a page that offers one or more Vimeo video clips, a direct connection is established between your browser and a server of Vimeo in the USA. Information about your visit and your IP address is stored there. Interactions with the Vimeo plugins (e.g., clicking the start button) also transmit this information to Vimeo and store it there. You can find the privacy policy of Vimeo with more detailed information about the collection and use of your data by Vimeo in the privacy policy of Vimeo. If you have a Vimeo user account and do not want Vimeo to collect data about you via this website and link it to your member data stored at Vimeo, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting this website. In addition, Vimeo calls up the Google Analytics tracker via an iFrame in which the video is called up. This is Vimeo’s own tracking, which we do not have access to. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the deactivation tools that Google offers for some internet browsers. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by Google Analytics and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Data Transfer to the USA

On our website, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated, among others. When these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing operations.
