Data protection

 

basic

 

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. In principle, our website can be used without providing any personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. surname, first name, telephone number, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. We would like to point out that despite all the measures we have taken, data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps and therefore complete protection of data from access by third parties cannot always be guaranteed.

 

cookies

 

This website uses cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. The creation of a cookie is a way of temporarily storing data and serves to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. The cookies we use most frequently are so-called session cookies, which have a limited lifespan. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize you as a visitor on your next visit and thus offer you a better visitor experience. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies. You can also specifically allow cookies only in individual cases or generally exclude them. You can also set cookies to be automatically deleted when you close the browser window. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

 

Hosting Provider & Server Log Files

 

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

  • IP address

  • Browser type and browser version

  • operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Host name of the accessing computer

  • Time of server request

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

This collection of data is primarily used to evaluate and prevent attempts to attack the website. In certain situations, hosting providers are also legally obliged to be able to provide information about where access was made in order to counteract criminal activities.

 

SSL encryption

 

To protect the transmission of confidential data through our forms and for security reasons, we use SSL encryption technology. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line "https://" and the lock symbol displayed in the browser. Data that is encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties during transmission.

 

Google Analytics

This offer uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, text files that are stored on the user's computer and that enable an analysis of their use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, the IP address of the user will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly. However, this offer points out to users that in this case they may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. Users can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the website (including their IP address) being sent to Google and the processing of this data by Google by using the browser plug available under the following link -download and install in:  http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de . Third-party vendors, including Google, serve ads on websites across the internet. Third-party providers, including Google, use stored cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this website.

Integration of third-party services and content

 

It may happen that content from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, for example for statistical purposes. As far as this is known to us, we inform the users about it. If you do not wish to disclose any information about yourself, please log out of your Google account or use a plug-in such as Ghostery to block data exchange.  You can find the Google privacy policy here

 

contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided there including your IP address, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

 

Storage of the IP address

 

Our comment function saves the IP addresses of the users who write comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they are activated, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

 

Right to information, blocking and deletion

 

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data at any time, in particular its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data.

 

Objection to unsolicited emails

 

We hereby object to the use of the contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. In the event of unsolicited advertising being sent, such as spam e-mails or post, the operators of this site expressly reserve the right to take legal action.
