General remark

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and protection against 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 data protection declaration.

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

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. In principle, this website can be visited without registration. In doing so, data such as pages accessed or the name of the file accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes all handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process - to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable - personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR:

  • lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

  • lit.b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject and to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures.

  • c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject in accordance with any applicable EU law or in accordance with any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.

  • lit.d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

  • lit.f) Processing of personal data in order to protect the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the person concerned do not prevail. Legitimate interests are in particular our business interests 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 necessary 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 limit the processing accordingly.

Visitor Analytics

Visitor Analytics is a simple website analysis service that records data traffic on our website and general information about website visitors. We collect statistics, e.g. which pages the visitors visit and when, where they are roughly, where on the website they land first, or whether they come from a specific referrer, in order to improve the experience of our website visitors.

As a website operator who uses Visitor Analytics, we process information about the device type and screen size / resolution of our visitors, the approximate location, the browser, the operating system, the IPs, the page visits, the bounce rate, the conversion rates, the conversion funnel, the average Sessions per visitor, the average pages per session, the average session length, the time spent on the website and the preferred content of the website. All of this data is pseudonymized and Visitor Analytics does not use the collected data to identify individual users or to match the data with additional information about an individual user.

We do not use cookies to collect this data. Instead, we use what is known as fingerprint technology, which does not require cookies, files or technologies to be placed on your device. Fingerprint capture relies on the technical characteristics of your device and combines them to identify your device as a unique device and enable reliable analysis.

Visitor Recordings

Visitor recording is an additional function of Visitor Analytics (described above) in the form of a simple website playback tool that records in statistics where our website visitors have scrolled to and what they have clicked on our website. We can see this information aggregated in reproductions and so-called “thermal images” or interaction maps. Collecting these statistics helps us to make our website more user-friendly and to reproduce and correct technical errors.

As a website operator that uses visitor records, we generally use a section of a tracking code to collect data about the journey of our visitors on our website, which sub-pages they visit, what they clicked on, where they moved the mouse pointer and where they scrolled to . All of this data is pseudonymized and Visitor Analytics does not use the collected data to identify individual users or to match them with additional information about an individual user.
