Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Confederation (Swiss Federal Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this privacy policy. In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect our databases as much as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or forgery. Please note that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security gaps. 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 visited or file names, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, particularly name, address, or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis. Without your consent, data will not be passed on to third parties.

Personal data is all information that relates to an identified 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 methods used, in particular collecting, disclosing, obtaining, deleting, storing, modifying, destroying, and using personal data. We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, to the extent that the EU GDPR applies, we process personal data according to the following legal bases in connection with Article 6(1) GDPR: Consent - The data subject has given their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for a specific purpose or multiple specific purposes. Contract performance and pre-contractual requests - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject. Legal obligation - Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject. Protection of vital interests - Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. Legitimate interests - Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring protection of personal data. We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. For longer retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

According to Article 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in this privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and perform contractual measures as well as respond to inquiries is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to pursue our legitimate interests is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In cases where protection of vital interests of the data subject or another natural person requires processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing as well as the varying probability and extent of threats to the rights and freedoms of individuals, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk. These measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data through control of physical and electronic access to data, as well as access to, entry into, transmission, and availability of such data and their separation. We have also established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data, and responses to data breaches. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data from the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principles of data protection by design and by default.

In the course of our processing of personal data, data may be transmitted to or disclosed by other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers assigned IT tasks or providers of services and content integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and in particular conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)), or if processing occurs through the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to other persons, entities, or companies, this occurs only in accordance with legal requirements. Subject to explicit consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we process data only in third countries with an adequate level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission, or where appropriate certifications or binding internal data protection rules exist (Articles 44-49 GDPR).

If you submit inquiries to us via a contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide, will be stored with us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We will not share this data with third parties without your consent.

To provide paid services, we collect additional data from you, such as payment information, to fulfill your order or assignment. We store this data in our systems until the legally required retention periods have expired.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller of data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is performed by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google". Through the statistics obtained, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for device-spanning analysis of visitor flows, which is performed via a User-ID. If you have a Google user account, you can disable cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under "My Data" and "Personal Data". The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted from your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We point out that Google Analytics on this website has been extended with the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This results in shortened IP address processing; personal identification is thereby excluded. To the extent that the data collected about you has a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is immediately deleted. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address 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 prepare reports on website activities, and to provide other services associated with website use and internet usage to the website operator. Google Analytics uses cookies. Information about your use of this website generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We may update this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. To the extent this privacy policy is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of any changes via email or other appropriate means in the event of an update.

If you have questions about data protection, please email us or contact the responsible party listed at the beginning of this privacy policy in our organization.
