General remark
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG ), everyone has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against 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 on 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 agree to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. This website can be visited without registration. Data, such as pages accessed, names of files accessed, and date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly related to the user. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address, are collected on a voluntary basis if 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 any 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 personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR – to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the person concerned.
lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfil a contract with the data subject and to carry out appropriate pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable EU law or under 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. e) Processing of personal data in order to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and fundamental rights and interests of the data subject do not prevail. Legitimate interests are 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 period necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of long-term retention requirements, due to legal or any other obligations, the processing will be limited accordingly.

Third Party Services

Analysis of the usage behavior of our website
This website uses the WordPress analysis plugin WP Statistics from the developer team Verona Labs. With WP Statistics, statistics can be generated about the reach, visitor numbers and structure of our website. The protection of your privacy and personal data is paramount when using WP Statistics. WP Statistics itself does not collect any personal data from visitors. Rather, WP Statistics anonymizes visitors’ IP addresses before storing them. For this purpose, no usage profiles are created and no cookies are set. A personal identification of a visitor is therefore not possible, even subsequently.
The purpose of data collection and analysis is always and exclusively to improve our website and its content.

Note on data transfer to the USA
Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
