Data protection

The operator of this website takes the protection of personal data very seriously. Personal data is treated confidentially and is handled in accordance with the relevant legal data protection regulations.

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy as well as protection against misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions. Personal data is treated as strictly confidential and is neither sold nor passed on to third parties.

In close cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect our databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.

When you access our websites, the following data is stored in log files: IP address, date, time, browser request and generally transmitted information on the operating system or browser. This usage data forms the basis for statistical, anonymous evaluations, so that trends can be identified which we can use to improve our offers accordingly.

Server log files
The provider of the 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
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

This data cannot be traced to specific persons and is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

Contact form
If you send us enquiries via our contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. 

SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in the address line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Right to information, deletion and blocking
You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data. For this purpose as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given on the page providing information about this website.
