General / Introduction 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 the protection of their privacy as well as protection against the 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 statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A 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 as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or names of accessed files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) are collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis, as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

Processing of Personal Data Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose 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, retention, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Insofar as and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data based 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 for the fulfillment of a contract with the data subject as well as for carrying out corresponding pre-contractual measures.

  • lit. c) Processing of personal data for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or applicable law of a country where 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 rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. 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 required for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Cookies This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific user-related information on the user's device while using the website. Cookies enable, in particular, determining the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, analyzing behavior patterns of page usage, but also making our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved upon a new visit to the site. 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 in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling 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 you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

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 of the American Google LLC use cookies, among other things, which transfer data to Google in the USA, whereby we assume that in this context no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website. Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and the US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy.

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 personal data concerning them from the controller of this website, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is no longer necessary:

  • The personal data was collected for purposes or processed in other ways for which it is no longer necessary.

  • The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

Copyrights The copyright and all other rights to the content, images, photos, or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or the specifically named rights holders. Reproduction of all files requires the prior written consent of the copyright holders.

Anyone who commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective copyright holders may be liable to prosecution and possibly subject to claims for damages.

Disclaimer All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date, correct, and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors cannot be completely ruled out, so we do not assume any liability for the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of the information, including journalistic-editorial texts.

Liability claims regarding material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are excluded.

The publisher may change or delete texts at its own discretion and without prior notice and is not obliged to update the content of this website. The use of this website or access to it is at the user'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 reached via external links from this website. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content. The publisher expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or offend common decency.

Google Maps This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently. 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 through which you are logged in 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 to your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button.

Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out, in particular (even 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, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Further 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, can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Analytics This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for data processing on this website is based outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the data processing of Google Analytics will be carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google."

The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your use in the settings under "My data," "Personal data."

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) sentence 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 point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are processed in truncated form so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If data collected about you has a personal reference, it will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 activity and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, 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 usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at 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 store an opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents the processing of your 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 must 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 computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or device.

Google WebFonts This website uses web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

LinkedIn We use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland ("LinkedIn") within our online offer.

These use cookies, i.e., text files that are stored on your computer. This allows us to analyze your use of the website. For example, we can measure the success of our ads and show users products they were previously interested in.

For example, information about the operating system, browser, previously visited website (referrer URL), visited web pages, clicked offers, and the date and time of your visit to our website are collected.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted in pseudonymous form to a LinkedIn server in the USA and stored there. LinkedIn thus does not store the name or email address of the respective user. Instead, the aforementioned data is only assigned to the person for whom the cookie was created. This does not apply if the user has allowed LinkedIn to process without pseudonymization or has a LinkedIn account.

You can refuse the use of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly, but please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. You can also object to the use of your data directly at LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

We use LinkedIn Analytics to analyze the use of our website and to improve it regularly. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. All LinkedIn companies have adopted the standard contractual clauses to ensure that data traffic to the USA and Singapore, which is necessary for the development, implementation, and maintenance of the services, is conducted lawfully. If we ask users for consent, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for using LinkedIn Analytics is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

The information of the third-party provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; User Agreement and Privacy Policy.

Audio and Video Conferences We use audio and video conferencing services to communicate with our users and others. In particular, we can conduct audio and video conferences, virtual meetings, and training such as webinars.

We use only services for which an adequate level of data protection is ensured. In addition to this privacy policy, the terms and conditions of the used services, such as terms of use or privacy policies, apply.

In particular, we use Zoom, a service of American Zoom Video Communications Inc. Zoom also grants users in Switzerland the rights under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Further information on the nature, scope, and purpose of data processing can be found in the privacy policies and on Zoom's "Legal Provisions and Data Protection" page.

YouTube This website integrates functions of the "YouTube" service. "YouTube" is owned by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law with its principal place of business at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Your legal agreement with "YouTube" consists of the terms found at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=de&template=terms&hl=de. These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and "YouTube" regarding your use of the services. Google's privacy policy explains how "YouTube" treats and protects your personal data when you use the service.

Vimeo Plugins of the Vimeo video portal of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are integrated into this website. When you access a page that offers one or more Vimeo video clips, a direct connection is established between your browser and a Vimeo server in the USA. Information about your visit and your IP address is stored there. Through interactions with the Vimeo plugins (e.g., clicking the start button), this information is also transmitted to Vimeo and stored there.

The Vimeo privacy policy provides more information about the collection and use of your data by 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.

Vimeo also calls the Google Analytics tracker via an iFrame in which the video is displayed. This is Vimeo's own tracking, to which we do not have access. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the deactivation tools that Google offers for some Internet browsers. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics 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 plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Agency Services We process our customers' data in accordance with the data protection regulations of the Federal Government (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the EU GDPR within the scope of our contractual services.

We process inventory data (e.g., customer master data, such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers), content data (e.g., text input, etc.), contract data (e.g., contract object, duration), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment behavior), usage data and metadata (e.g., in the context of evaluating and measuring the success of marketing measures). The data subjects include our customers, prospects, and their customers, users, website visitors, or employees, as well as third parties. The purpose of the processing is the provision of contractual services, billing, and our customer service. The legal basis for processing results from Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (contractual services), Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures).

We process data necessary for establishing and fulfilling contractual services and point out the necessity of their disclosure. Disclosure to external parties only takes place if this is necessary within the scope of an order. When processing the data provided to us within the scope of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements of order processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and do not process the data for any other purposes than those specified in the order.

We delete the data after the expiration of legal warranty and comparable obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular intervals. In the case of legal archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiration. In the case of data provided to us by the client within the scope of an order, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the order, generally after the end of the order.

Data Transfer to the USA On our website, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated. If 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 required to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Changes We can change this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. If the privacy policy is part of an agreement with you, we will notify you by email or other appropriate means if it is updated.

Disclaimer The author assumes no liability for the correctness, accuracy, timeliness, reliability, and completeness of the information.

Liability claims against the author for material or immaterial damage arising from access to, use, or non-use of the published information, misuse of the connection, or technical faults are excluded.

All offers are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement, delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without separate announcement or to cease publication temporarily or permanently.
