(Translated automatically)
Pursuant to Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website 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 privacy policy. In cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect the databases as effectively as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.
 

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the description below. This website can generally be visited without registration. In doing so, data such as the pages accessed or the names of the files accessed, along with the date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, in particular your name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

 

Processing of personal data

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person in respect of whom personal data is processed. Processing encompasses any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, in particular the storage, disclosure, collection, erasure, saving, alteration, destruction and use of personal data. We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, insofar as the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(1) of the GDPR:

​

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data relating to them for a specific purpose or for several specific purposes.

• Performance of a contract and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.

• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

• Protection of vital interests (Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR) – Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

• The recruitment process as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Article 9(2)(b) of the GDPR) – Insofar as, during the recruitment process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants so that the controller or the data subject can exercise their rights arising from labour law and the law on social security and social protection and fulfil their obligations in this regard, such processing is carried out in accordance with Article 9(2)(b) GDPR, or in the case of the protection of the vital interests of applicants or other persons pursuant to Article 9(2)(c) GDPR; or for the purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, for the assessment of an employee’s fitness for work, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) of the GDPR. Where the provision of special categories of data is based on voluntary consent, such data shall be processed on the basis of Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR.

 

We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the relevant purpose or purposes. Where we are subject to longer retention periods due to legal or other obligations, we restrict our processing accordingly.

​

Transfer of personal data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transferred to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or individuals. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to ensure the protection of your data.

​

Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Article 13 of the GDPR, we hereby inform you of the legal bases for our data processing activities. Where the legal basis is not specified in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfil our services, implement contractual measures and respond to enquiries is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

​

Security measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. These measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access to, input of, disclosure of, and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects’ rights, the erasure of data and responses to data breaches. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account right from the development and selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

​

Transfer of personal data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that data is transferred to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or individuals. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, enter into appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to ensure the protection of your data.

 

Data processing in third countries

Where we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or where processing takes place in connection with the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other individuals, bodies or organisations, this is done in accordance with legal requirements. Subject to express consent or where transfer is required by contract or law, we process data in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, contractual obligations through the European Commission’s standard data protection clauses, where certifications are in place, or binding internal data protection regulations (Articles 44 to 49 of the GDPR, European Commission information page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

​

Information on data transfers to the USA

Some of the third-party service providers mentioned in this privacy policy are based in the USA. For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out to users residing or based in Switzerland or the EU that surveillance measures are in place in the USA by US authorities which generally allow for the storage of all personal data of any individuals whose data has been transferred from Switzerland or the EU to the USA. This occurs without differentiation, restriction or exception based on the intended purpose and without an objective criterion that would allow the US authorities’ access to the data and its subsequent use to be restricted to very specific, strictly limited purposes capable of justifying the intrusion associated with both access to and use of this data.

We would also like to point out that, in the USA, data subjects from Switzerland or the EU have no legal remedies or effective judicial protection against the general access rights of US authorities, which allow those authorities to access data concerning them and to obtain its rectification or erasure. We expressly draw your attention to this legal and factual situation to enable you to make a fully informed decision regarding your consent to the use of your data.
We also wish to point out to users residing in Switzerland or an EU Member State that, from the perspective of the European Union and Switzerland – partly on the basis of the explanations provided in this section – the US does not have an adequate level of data protection. Where we have explained in this privacy policy that recipients of data (such as wix.com, Google) are based in the USA, we will ensure, through contractual arrangements with these companies and, where necessary, additional appropriate safeguards, that your data is adequately protected by our third-party service providers.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from websites or domains visited and are stored by a browser on the user’s computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online service. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or the point at which a video was paused. We also include other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies under the term “cookies” (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as “user IDs”). We distinguish between the following types of cookies and their functions:

​

• Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves a website and closes their browser.

• Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, this allows the login status to be saved or preferred content to be displayed immediately when the user visits a website again. Similarly, users’ interests—which are used for audience measurement or marketing purposes—can be stored in such a cookie.

• First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us.

• Necessary (also: essential or strictly necessary) cookies: Cookies may be strictly necessary for the operation of a website (e.g., to store logins or other user input, or for security reasons).

• Statistics, marketing, and personalization cookies: Cookies are also typically used for audience measurement and when a user’s interests or behavior (e.g., viewing certain content, using certain features, etc.) on individual web pages are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. This process is also referred to as “tracking,” i.e., tracking users’ potential interests. To the extent that we use cookies or “tracking” technologies, we will inform you separately in our Privacy Policy or when obtaining your consent.
   

Information on Legal Bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If this applies and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is your expressed consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., in the business operation of our online offering and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations. Retention Period: Unless we provide you with explicit information regarding the retention period of persistent cookies (e.g., as part of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the retention period may be up to two years. General Information on Withdrawal of Consent and Objection (Opt-Out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal authorization, you have the option at any time to withdraw any consent you have given or to object to the processing of your data through cookie technologies (collectively referred to as “opt-out”).

 

You can initially object to the use of cookies through your browser settings, for example, by disabling cookies (although this may also limit the functionality of our website). You can also object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes through a variety of services—particularly in the case of tracking—via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can find further information on how to object in the details provided about the service providers and cookies we use. Processing of Cookie Data Based on Consent: We use a cookie consent management process through which users’ consent to the use of cookies—as well as to the processing activities and providers specified within the cookie consent management process—is obtained, managed, and revoked by the users. In this process, the declaration of consent is stored so that the request for consent does not have to be repeated and so that consent can be verified in accordance with legal requirements.

 

Consent may be stored on the server and/or in a cookie (a so-called “opt-in cookie” or using comparable technologies) in order to associate the consent with a user or their device. Subject to specific information provided by the providers of cookie management services, the following guidelines apply: Consent may be stored for up to two years. In this process, a pseudonymous user identifier is generated and stored along with the time of consent, details regarding the scope of consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, operating system, and device used.

 

• Types of Data Processed: Usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).

• Data Subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).

• Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

​

Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
 

Privacy Policy for 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. This information includes: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, and time of the server request. This data cannot be associated with specific individuals. This data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
 

Third-Party Services

This website may use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos. These services provided by the U.S.-based company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the United States; however, we assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website in this context. Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Privacy Shield frameworks. Further information can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy.
 

Privacy Policy for the Contact Form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the inquiry form—including the contact information you provide there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
 

Privacy Policy for the Comment Feature on This Website

For the comment feature on this website, in addition to your comment, information regarding the time the comment was posted, your email address, and—if you are not posting anonymously—the username you selected will be stored. Storage of IP Addresses Our comment feature stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not review comments on our site before they are published, we need this data to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda. Subscribing to Comments As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after logging in. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time via a link in the informational emails.
 

Privacy Policy for Opting Out of Marketing Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact information published in accordance with the legal requirement to provide an “Imprint” for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as through spam emails.
 

Services Subject to a Fee

In order to provide paid services, we request additional information, such as payment details, so that we can fulfill your order or request. We store this information in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you arrived at our website via an ad served by Google, Google Ads will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on 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 that page.

 

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of 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 the placement of the cookie required for this—for example, by using a browser setting that generally disables the automatic placement of cookies, or by configuring 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 your data to be tracked. If you have deleted all cookies from your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
 

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing feature provided by Google Inc. This feature is used to display interest-based ads to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called “cookie” is stored in the website visitor’s browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they access websites that are part of Google’s advertising network. On these sites, the visitor may be shown ads related to content they previously viewed on websites that use Google’s remarketing feature. According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing feature, you can generally disable it by adjusting the relevant settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map feature. When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding page on our website. This occurs regardless of whether you are logged in to a Google account or do not have a Google account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button.

 

Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for advertising, market research, and/or to tailor its website to your needs. Such analysis is conducted in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to deliver targeted 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; to exercise this right, you must contact Google. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights in this regard and settings options to protect your privacy, please visit: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy (http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy)

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter “Google.” reCAPTCHA is designed to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is performed by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the website visitor’s behavior based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website.

 

For the purpose of analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g., IP address, the length of time a website visitor spends on the site, or the user’s mouse movements). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place. Data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated surveillance and spam. For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s Privacy Policy, please visit the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.
 

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, data processing via Google Analytics is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google.” The statistics collected enable us to improve our offerings and make them more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can disable cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under “My Data” > “Personal Data.” The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure that IP addresses are collected anonymously.

 

As a result, IP addresses are truncated during further processing, thereby ruling out any possibility of personal identification. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, this identification is immediately ruled out, and the personal data is promptly deleted. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States 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 other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent.

 

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, 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 this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will store a so-called 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, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted; this means you will need to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and per computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to ensure consistent font display. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font from your computer will be used. For more information about Google Web Fonts, visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and see Google’s Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Privacy Policy for Facebook

This website uses features provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you visit our pages that contain Facebook plug-ins, a connection is established between your browser and Facebook’s servers. Data is transmitted to Facebook as part of this process. If you have a Facebook account, this data may be linked to it. If you do not want this data to be associated with your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our site. Interactions, in particular the use of a comment feature or clicking a “Like” or “Share” button, are also transmitted to Facebook.

Privacy Policy for LinkedIn

We use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn, operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”), as part of our online offering. These services use cookies—text files that are stored on your computer. This enables us to analyze your use of the website. For example, this allows us to measure the effectiveness of our ads and show users products they have previously expressed interest in. The information collected includes, for example, details about your operating system, browser, the website you previously visited (referrer URL), which pages you visited, which offers you clicked on, and the date and time of your visit to our website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is transmitted in pseudonymized form to a LinkedIn server in the U.S. and stored there. LinkedIn does not, therefore, store the name or email address of the respective user.

Rather, the data mentioned above is assigned only to the person for whom the cookie was generated. This does not apply if the user has authorized LinkedIn to process the data without pseudonymization or if the user has a LinkedIn account. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also object to the use of your data directly with LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out (https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-optout). We use LinkedIn Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics we collect allow us to improve our offerings and make them more interesting for you as a user. All LinkedIn companies have adopted the Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure that the data transfers to the U.S. and Singapore necessary for the development, operation, and maintenance of the services take place in a lawful manner. If we ask users for consent, the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the use of LinkedIn Analytics is Article 6(1)(1)(f) of the GDPR.

We use audio and video conferencing services to communicate with our users and other individuals. In particular, we use these services to conduct audio and video conferences, virtual meetings, and training sessions such as webinars. We only use services that ensure adequate data protection. In addition to this Privacy Policy, any applicable terms and conditions of the services used—such as terms of use or privacy policies—also apply. We use Zoom, a service provided by the U.S.-based company Zoom Video Communications, Inc., and Microsoft Teams. Zoom and Microsoft Teams also grant the rights set forth in the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to users in Switzerland. Further information on the nature, scope, and purpose of data processing can be found in the privacy policies (https://zoom.us/de-de/privacy.html and https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de) as well as on the “Legal Provisions and Data Protection” page (https://zoom.us/docs/dede/privacy-and-legal.html) and the Microsoft Trust Center (https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/microsoftteams/privacy/location-of-data-in-teams).
