General / Introduction
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Confederation (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and the protection from 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 legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security gaps. A complete protection of 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 generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or names of files accessed, date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to you personally. Where personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is done, where 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 refers to all information relating 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 tools and methods used, particularly storing, transferring, obtaining, deleting, retaining, altering, destroying, and using personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. If and to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in connection with Article 6 (1) GDPR:
a) Processing personal data with the consent of the data subject.
b) Processing personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
c) Processing personal data to fulfill a legal obligation that we are subject to under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is partially or fully applicable.
d) Processing personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
f) Processing personal data to safeguard legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject outweigh. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in providing our website, ensuring information security, enforcing our own legal claims, and complying with Swiss law.
We process personal data for as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose(s). In case of long-term storage requirements due to legal and other obligations we are subject to, we will limit the processing accordingly.

Cookies allow us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users, analyze usage patterns, and also make our offerings more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved on a subsequent visit to the page. If you do not wish this, you should set your internet browser to reject cookies.

With SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address bar of your browser from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit cannot be read by third parties.

The provider of this website 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 is not assigned to specific individuals. No merging of this data with other data sources takes place. We reserve the right to review this data at a later time if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

However, errors may occur, and we cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of the information, including editorial and journalistic content.

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 accessed via external links from this website.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the person responsible for data processing on this website is outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google LLC will process the data. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to as „Google“ below.
The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offerings and make them more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows through a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can disable cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under „My Data,“ „Personal Data.“
The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Article 6 (1) S. 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google. We inform you that Google Analytics has been extended with the „_anonymizeIp();“ code to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in shortened form, so they cannot be associated with a specific person. If the data collected about you can be associated with a person, this will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be deleted promptly.
In exceptional cases, the full IP address will 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 activities, and to provide other services related to website and internet use. For exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has self-certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Our website incorporates functions of the Instagram service. These functions are offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that we, as the provider of the pages, do not receive any knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.

We use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company within our online offering, located at Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland („LinkedIn“).
These use cookies, which are text files stored on your computer. This allows us to analyze your use of the website. For example, we can 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 websites (referrer URL), visited websites, clicked offers, and the date and time of your visit to our website are collected.
The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is transmitted in pseudonymized form to a LinkedIn server in the USA and stored there. LinkedIn 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 data without pseudonymization or has a LinkedIn account.
You can reject the use of cookies by adjusting your browser settings, but please note that you may not be able to use all features of this website. You can also object to the use of your data directly with LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
We use LinkedIn Analytics to analyze the use of our website and regularly improve it. The statistics obtained help us improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. All LinkedIn companies have adopted standard contractual clauses to ensure that the data traffic to the USA and Singapore, required for the development, implementation, and maintenance of services, is lawful. When we request consent from users, the legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for using LinkedIn Analytics is Article 6 (1) S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
