General / Introduction
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Confederation (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and 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 privacy policy.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as much as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., email communication) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly linked to you as an individual. If personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data includes all information related to an identified or identifiable person. An affected person is an individual whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, especially storage, dissemination, procurement, deletion, retention, modification, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. To the extent the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data further based on the following legal grounds in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the affected person.
lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the affected person as well as for carrying out corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that these are not overridden by the fundamental freedoms and rights of the affected person. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in providing our website, information security, enforcing our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose(s). For longer-term storage obligations due to statutory or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific, user-related information to be stored on the user's device while using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, analyze user behavior patterns, and make our offer more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when visiting the site again. If you do not want this, you should set your Internet browser to refuse cookies.
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for many services, especially tracking, through the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Additionally, cookies can be prevented from being stored by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offer may be fully usable.
Cookie Settings
With 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. An encrypted connection is recognized by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Server Log Files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. This data will not be combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if concrete indications of unlawful use come to our attention.
These data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. A combination of these data with other data sources is not carried out. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.
Newsletter
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
Once you have given your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter, you can revoke this consent at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe link" in the newsletter.
Objection to Email Marketing
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby rejected. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
Copyright
The copyright and all other rights to content, images, photos, or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or the specifically named rights holders. The reproduction of any elements 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 may be required to pay compensation.
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, errors cannot be completely excluded, so we cannot assume any liability for the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of information, including journalistic-editorial content. Liability claims relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information presented or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information are excluded unless there is evidence of willful intent or gross negligence.
The publisher may change or delete texts at its discretion and without prior notice and is not obliged to update the contents of this website. The use of this website or access to it is at the visitor'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 the availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links from this website. The content of the linked pages is solely the responsibility of their operators. The publisher hereby expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that violates common decency.
Google Ads
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will place a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn 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 information that personally identifies users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, through a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or by setting 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 measurement data to be collected. If you have deleted all cookies in your browser, you must reset the respective opt-out cookie.
Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing feature of Google Inc. The function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A "cookie" is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. Advertisements can be presented to the visitor on these websites that relate to content the visitor has previously accessed on websites using the Google remarketing feature.
According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. If you still do not wish to use the Google remarketing feature, you can deactivate it generally by adjusting the corresponding settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate 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.
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, the data processing for Google Analytics is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google."
The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offering 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 performed using a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under "My Data," "Personal Data."
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) S. 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by the code "anonymizeIp();" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you can be related to a person, this will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be promptly deleted.
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, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage for the website operator. For 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 transferred 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) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin 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 sets an opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents the collection of your data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, the opt-out cookies will also be deleted, meaning you must set the opt-out cookies again if you want to continue preventing this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.
Google WebFonts
This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to ensure the uniform presentation of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
Further information about 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/.
Google TagManager
The Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage website tags via an interface, enabling us to integrate services such as Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of the users. For information regarding the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the following details about Google's services. Usage policy: https://www.google.com/intl/en/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

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.
LinkedIn uses cookies, text files stored on your computer, enabling us to analyze your website use. This allows us to measure the success of our advertising and show users products they have previously shown interest in.
For example, information about the operating system, browser, previously visited website (referrer URL), pages visited, offers clicked, and the date and time of your visit to our website is collected.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to and stored by LinkedIn on servers in the USA in pseudonymous form. LinkedIn does not store the name or email address of the respective user. Instead, the above-mentioned data is assigned only to the person for whom the cookie was generated. This does not apply if the user has allowed LinkedIn to process the data without pseudonymization or has a LinkedIn account.
You can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that this may prevent you from using all the website’s features. You can also directly object to the use of your data on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
We use LinkedIn Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. 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, necessary for the development, implementation, and maintenance of services, is carried out lawfully. If we ask users for their consent, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for using LinkedIn Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
