General / Introduction
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and federal data protection laws (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and against misuse of their personal data. We, the operators of this website, take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification as much as possible.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from third-party access is not possible.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data according to 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 you. Personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) will be collected, if possible, always on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. An affected person is someone whose personal data is being processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, particularly the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. To the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data based on the following legal grounds in connection with Article 6 (1) GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the affected person.
lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the affected person, as well as to carry out appropriate pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the affected person outweigh these interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose or purposes. If we are subject to long-term storage obligations due to legal or other requirements, we restrict processing accordingly.

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific information related to the user to be stored on the user's device while using the website. Cookies particularly help to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the website, to analyze patterns of website usage, and to make our offer more user-friendly. Cookies are stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when the site is revisited.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for many services, especially for tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Moreover, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all features of this online offer can be used.
With SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address line from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
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
This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. We do not merge this data with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.

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 from the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, thereby transferring data to Google in the USA.

Google Maps
This website uses the services of Google Maps, allowing us to display interactive maps directly on the site for convenient user experience. By visiting the site, Google receives the information that you accessed a specific sub-page of our site. This occurs regardless of whether or not you have an account with Google, or whether you're logged in. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly linked to your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating any Google feature. Google stores this data as usage profiles and uses it for advertising, market research, or to tailor its website according to user needs.

For more information on data collection by Google, as well as your rights and settings to protect your privacy, visit: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
Google Ads
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you reached our website via an ad displayed by Google, a cookie will be stored on your computer by Google Ads. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad displayed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our site and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer gets a different cookie, so cookies can't be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers. Information collected via the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted into conversion tracking. Customers learn about the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they don't receive any information that could personally identify users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse to set the required cookie—for instance, by changing your browser settings to disable the automatic setting of cookies or by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com".
Note: Do not delete the opt-out cookies unless you want your data to be recorded. If you've deleted all your cookies in the browser, you'll have to reset the respective opt-out cookie.
Google Remarketing
This website uses Google Inc.'s Remarketing function. The function is designed to present interest-based ads to site visitors within the Google advertising network. A "cookie" is stored in the visitor's browser, enabling the visitor to be recognized when accessing websites belonging to the Google advertising network. On these websites, the visitor may be shown ads that relate to content they previously accessed on sites using Google's Remarketing function. According to Google, no personal data is collected in the process. If you do not wish to use Google's Remarketing feature, you can generally disable it by adjusting the settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
Google reCAPTCHA
This website uses Google Ireland Limited's reCAPTCHA service (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland "Google"). The query is meant to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes transmitting the IP address and potentially other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. Your input will be sent to Google for further use. However, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of this website's operator to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. There is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the "Privacy Shield," for data transfers to the USA. Google participates in the "Privacy Shield" and has subjected itself to its requirements. By activating the query, you agree to the processing of your data. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing that took place due to the consent until the revocation.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and its privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense on this website, an advertising program by Google Inc. In Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google AdSense enables us to display advertisements on this website that are relevant to our topic.
Google AdSense uses cookies to display 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 browsers via a cookie ID and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Additionally, Google AdSense may use cookie IDs to record conversions related to ad requests. 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. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain personal information.
Through the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives 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 the possibility that Google will find out and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:
By adjusting your browser settings, particularly suppressing third-party cookies, which ensures that you won't receive ads from third parties.
By deactivating 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 if you delete your cookies.
By deactivating interest-based advertising from providers who are part of the self-regulation campaign "About Ads" via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices; this setting will also be deleted if you delete your cookies.
By permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browsers via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We point out that you may not be able to use all the features of this service fully in this case.
The legal basis for processing 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 S. 1 lit. f GDPR). For more information on Google Ads by Google, visit https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/, and for Google's general privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

When you visit a page that offers one or more Vimeo video clips, a direct connection is established between your browser and a server from Vimeo in the USA, storing information about your visit and your IP address. Interactions with the Vimeo plugins (e.g., clicking the start button) are also transmitted to Vimeo and stored there. For further information on the collection and use of your data by Vimeo, refer to Vimeo's privacy policy.
If you have a Vimeo user account and do not want Vimeo to collect data about you via this website and link it with your stored membership data on Vimeo, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting this website.
Additionally, Vimeo calls up the Google Analytics tracker via an iFrame where the video is displayed. This is Vimeo's own tracking, to which we have no access. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the deactivation tools that Google offers for some internet browsers. Moreover, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by Google Analytics regarding your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

General / Introduction
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and federal data protection laws (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and against misuse of their personal data. We, the operators of this website, take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification as much as possible.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from third-party access is not possible.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data according to 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 you. Personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) will be collected, if possible, always on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. An affected person is someone whose personal data is being processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, particularly the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. To the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data based on the following legal grounds in connection with Article 6 (1) GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the affected person.
lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the affected person, as well as to carry out appropriate pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the affected person outweigh these interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose or purposes. If we are subject to long-term storage obligations due to legal or other requirements, we restrict processing accordingly.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific information related to the user to be stored on the user's device while using the website. Cookies particularly help to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the website, to analyze patterns of website usage, and to make our offer more user-friendly. Cookies are stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when the site is revisited. 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 many services, especially for tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Moreover, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all features of this online offer can be used.
With SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address line from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
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
This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. We do not merge this data with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.
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 from the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, thereby transferring data to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking occurs through the sole use of our website in this context.
Google is committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.
For more information, please refer to Google's privacy policy.

Google Maps
This website uses the services of Google Maps, allowing us to display interactive maps directly on the site for convenient user experience. By visiting the site, Google receives the information that you accessed a specific sub-page of our site. This occurs regardless of whether or not you have an account with Google, or whether you're logged in. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly linked to your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating any Google feature. Google stores this data as usage profiles and uses it for advertising, market research, or to tailor its website according to user needs. You have the right to object to the formation of these profiles, and to do so, you'll need to contact Google directly. For more information on data collection by Google, as well as your rights and settings to protect your privacy, visit: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
Google Ads
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you reached our website via an ad displayed by Google, a cookie will be stored on your computer by Google Ads. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad displayed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our site and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer gets a different cookie, so cookies can't be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers. Information collected via the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted into conversion tracking. Customers learn about the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they don't receive any information that could personally identify users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse to set the required cookie—for instance, by changing your browser settings to disable the automatic setting of cookies or by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com".
Note: Do not delete the opt-out cookies unless you want your data to be recorded. If you've deleted all your cookies in the browser, you'll have to reset the respective opt-out cookie.
Google Remarketing
This website uses Google Inc.'s Remarketing function. The function is designed to present interest-based ads to site visitors within the Google advertising network. A "cookie" is stored in the visitor's browser, enabling the visitor to be recognized when accessing websites belonging to the Google advertising network. On these websites, the visitor may be shown ads that relate to content they previously accessed on sites using Google's Remarketing function. According to Google, no personal data is collected in the process. If you do not wish to use Google's Remarketing feature, you can generally disable it by adjusting the settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
Google reCAPTCHA
This website uses Google Ireland Limited's reCAPTCHA service (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland "Google"). The query is meant to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes transmitting the IP address and potentially other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. Your input will be sent to Google for further use. However, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of this website's operator to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. There is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the "Privacy Shield," for data transfers to the USA. Google participates in the "Privacy Shield" and has subjected itself to its requirements. By activating the query, you agree to the processing of your data. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing that took place due to the consent until the revocation.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and its privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the individual responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Hereafter, both Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC will be referred to as "Google."
The statistics gathered enable us to improve our service and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, which is conducted via a user identifier. If you have a Google user account, you can disable the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under "My Data," "Personal Data."
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that Google Analytics on this website has been extended to include the code "_anonymizeIp();", to ensure an anonymous collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in truncated form, preventing them from being directly linked to a particular individual. If the data collected can be linked to a person, this will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be deleted promptly.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred 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 additional services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. In the exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself 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 usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize 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 under the following link: Disable Google Analytics.
In addition, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will save an opt-out cookie on your storage medium, 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 need to set the opt-out cookies again if you want to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set for each browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense on this website, an advertising program by Google Inc. In Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google AdSense enables us to display advertisements on this website that are relevant to our topic.
Google AdSense uses cookies to display 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 browsers via a cookie ID and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. Additionally, Google AdSense may use cookie IDs to record conversions related to ad requests. 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. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain personal information.
Through the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives 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 the possibility that Google will find out and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:
By adjusting your browser settings, particularly suppressing third-party cookies, which ensures that you won't receive ads from third parties.
By deactivating 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 if you delete your cookies.
By deactivating interest-based advertising from providers who are part of the self-regulation campaign "About Ads" via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices; this setting will also be deleted if you delete your cookies.
By permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browsers via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We point out that you may not be able to use all the features of this service fully in this case.
The legal basis for processing 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 S. 1 lit. f GDPR). For more information on Google Ads by Google, visit https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/, and for Google's general privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Active Campaign allows us to analyze our newsletter campaigns.

Technical information is also collected (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This data is not attributable to individual newsletter recipients. It is used solely for statistical evaluation of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want analysis by Active Campaign, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, a corresponding link is provided in each newsletter message. Additionally, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website.
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
Data provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored until you unsubscribe and will be deleted from our servers and those of Active Campaign upon your unsubscription. Data stored for other purposes remain unaffected.
