Notice
Protecting your privacy is of utmost importance to us. The following privacy statement explains the personal data we process when you visit our website.
We carefully collect and process your personal data only for the purposes described in this privacy statement, to the extent necessary, and within the framework of applicable laws.
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for providing our services or as legally required. In close cooperation with our hosting provider (Kreativmedia GmbH, Zurich), we strive to protect the databases from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
This privacy policy is also specifically aligned with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Although the GDPR is a regulation of the European Union, it is significant for us. Swiss data protection law (DSG) is heavily influenced by EU law, and companies outside the European Union or the EEA are subject to the GDPR under certain circumstances.
General / Introduction
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every individual has the right to privacy protection 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 privacy policy.
In cooperation with our hosting provider (Kreativmedia GmbH, Zurich), we strive to protect the databases as well as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
We note that the data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against third-party access is not possible.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data according to the subsequent description. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages visited or names of retrieved files, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly related to your person. As far as personal data (for example, name, address, or email addresses) are collected on our pages, this is, as far as possible, always on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A concerned person is one whose personal data is processed. The processing includes any dealing with personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, dissemination, procurement, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Insofar as and to the extent the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal grounds in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the concerned person.
b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the concerned person and for carrying out corresponding pre-contractual measures.
c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under the applicable law of the EU or the law of a country where the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the concerned person or another natural person.
f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the concerned person prevail. Legitimate interests include in particular our commercial interest 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 necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term storage obligations due to legal and other obligations, which we are subject to, we restrict processing accordingly.

Google reCAPTCHA
This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland “Google”). The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, Google will shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent 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 this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other data from Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. There is an adequacy decision by the European Commission for data transfers to the USA, the “Privacy Shield”. Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has submitted to its requirements. By activating the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.
