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 statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we do our utmost to protect databases against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can be visited without registration. Data such as the pages called up or the name of the file called up, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without these data being directly linked to your person. Personal data, such as name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Personal data processing
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A person concerned is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any treatment 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 the Swiss Data Protection Act. In addition, we process personal data – insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable – in accordance with the following legal principles in connection with Art. 6, para. 1 GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the person concerned.
lit. b) Processing of personal data for the purposes of fulfilling a contract concluded with the person concerned, and implementing appropriate pre-contractual measures.
.
lit. c) the processing of personal data for the performance of a legal obligation to which we are subject by virtue of any applicable EU law or any applicable law of any country in which the DPA is applicable in whole or in part.
lit. d) the processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
lit. f) the processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties unless such interests are overridden by fundamental rights and freedoms or by the interests of the person concerned. Legitimate interests include in particular our commercial interest in being able to provide our website, the security of the information, the implementation of our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the time required for the respective purpose(s). In the event of long-term storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we limit processing accordingly.

Privacy policy for Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the person responsible for processing data on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-sectional analysis of visitor flows, which is performed via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-sectional 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 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this site, Google Analytics has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure the anonymous collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are then processed in abbreviated form, excluding the possibility of personal references. If the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this is immediately excluded, and the personal data is therefore immediately deleted.
Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services to website operators relating to website activity and internet usage. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the United States, Google has submitted 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 generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics.
You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. A so-called “opt-out” cookie is stored on your data carrier, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your terminal, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, i.e. you will have to reset them if you wish to continue to prevent this form of data collection. Deactivation cookies are defined per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.
