We use “cook­ies” on our web­sites, which can be used to iden­ti­fy your brows­er or device. A cook­ie is a small file that is sent to your com­put­er or auto­mat­i­cal­ly stored on your com­put­er or mobile device by the web brows­er you use when you vis­it our web­site. At the start of your vis­it, you can select the cook­ies you want in our pref­er­ence cen­tre and give your con­sent to the pro­cess­ing of your data. You can object to data pro­cess­ing at any time with effect for the future by pre­vent­ing the stor­age of cook­ies via your brows­er set­tings or by chang­ing the con­sents stored in the pref­er­ence cen­tre.

Google Ana­lyt­ics uses so-called “cook­ies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your com­put­er and enable an analy­sis of your use of the web­site. The infor­ma­tion gen­er­at­ed by the cook­ie about your use of this web­site is usu­al­ly trans­mit­ted to a Google serv­er in the USA and stored there. How­ev­er, due to the acti­va­tion of IP anonymi­sa­tion on these web­sites, your IP address will first be short­ened by Google with­in mem­ber states of the Euro­pean Union or in oth­er con­tract­ing states of the Agree­ment on the Euro­pean Eco­nom­ic Area. Only in excep­tion­al cas­es will the full IP address be trans­mit­ted to a Google serv­er in the USA and short­ened there. The IP address trans­mit­ted by your brows­er as part of Google Ana­lyt­ics will not be merged with oth­er Google data.

By vis­it­ing the web­site, Google receives infor­ma­tion that you have accessed the rel­e­vant sub­page of our web­site. This hap­pens regard­less of whether Google pro­vides a user account that you are logged into or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data is assigned direct­ly to your account.

If you do not want this assign­ment to your Google pro­file, you must log out of Google before acti­vat­ing the but­ton. Google stores your data as usage pro­files and uses it for adver­tis­ing, mar­ket research and/or tai­lor­ing its web­sites to user needs. Such an eval­u­a­tion is car­ried out in par­tic­u­lar (even for users who are not logged in) to pro­vide needs-based adver­tis­ing and to inform oth­er users of the social net­work about your activ­i­ties on our web­site. You have the right to object to the cre­ation of these user pro­files; to exer­cise this right, you must con­tact Google.

The provider cur­rent­ly does not offer an easy opt-out option or a way to block data trans­mis­sion. If you want to pre­vent track­ing of your activ­i­ties on our web­site, please with­draw your con­sent in the cook­ie con­sent tool for the rel­e­vant cook­ie cat­e­go­ry or for all non-essen­tial cook­ies and data trans­mis­sions.

To dis­play our con­tent cor­rect­ly and in a visu­al­ly appeal­ing way across browsers, we use “Google Web Fonts” from Google LLC (1600 Amphithe­atre Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA; here­inafter “Google”) to dis­play fonts on this web­site.

Our web­site uses Google con­ver­sion track­ing. The oper­at­ing com­pa­ny for Google AdWords ser­vices is Google LLC, 1600 Amphithe­atre Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA. If you reach our web­site via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords sets a cook­ie on your com­put­er. The con­ver­sion track­ing cook­ie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. If the user vis­its cer­tain pages of our web­site and the cook­ie has not yet expired, we and Google can recog­nise that the user clicked on the ad and was redi­rect­ed to that page. Each Google AdWords cus­tomer receives a dif­fer­ent cook­ie. Cook­ies there­fore can­not be tracked across the web­sites of AdWords cus­tomers. The infor­ma­tion obtained using the con­ver­sion cook­ie is used to cre­ate con­ver­sion sta­tis­tics for AdWords cus­tomers who have opt­ed for con­ver­sion track­ing. Cus­tomers learn the total num­ber of users who clicked on their ad and were redi­rect­ed to a page tagged with a con­ver­sion track­ing tag. How­ev­er, they do not receive any infor­ma­tion that could be used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy users. More infor­ma­tion about data pro­cess­ing by Google can be found in Google’s pri­va­cy notices: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

This func­tion is used to present inter­est-based ads to web­site vis­i­tors with­in the Google adver­tis­ing net­work. A so-called “cook­ie” is stored in the web­site visitor’s brows­er, which makes it pos­si­ble to recog­nise the vis­i­tor when they access web­sites that belong to Google’s adver­tis­ing net­work. On these pages, the vis­i­tor may be shown ads that relate to con­tent the vis­i­tor pre­vi­ous­ly viewed on web­sites that use Google’s remar­ket­ing func­tion.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can asso­ciate your brows­ing behav­iour with you per­son­al­ly. You can pre­vent this by log­ging out of your YouTube account before­hand.

When a YouTube video is start­ed, the provider uses cook­ies that col­lect infor­ma­tion about user behav­iour.

If nec­es­sary for the pro­vi­sion of our ser­vices, per­son­al data is trans­ferred to the enti­ties described above with­in Switzer­land and the EU. If we trans­fer data to a third coun­try, we ensure an ade­quate lev­el of pro­tec­tion as required by law by using appro­pri­ate con­tracts and/or mea­sures (in par­tic­u­lar on the basis of the so-called Stan­dard Con­trac­tu­al Claus­es of the Euro­pean Com­mis­sion). An overview of the ser­vice providers involved in pro­cess­ing your per­son­al data and the pro­cess­ing loca­tions is avail­able on request at the address giv­en above.

We process your per­son­al data for as long as it is nec­es­sary to ful­fil our con­trac­tu­al and legal oblig­a­tions or oth­er­wise for the pur­pos­es pur­sued with the pro­cess­ing, i.e. for the entire dura­tion of the busi­ness rela­tion­ship (from ini­ti­a­tion and pro­cess­ing through to ter­mi­na­tion of a con­tract and the war­ran­ty peri­od, as well as a sub­se­quent sup­port phase) and beyond that in accor­dance with statu­to­ry reten­tion and doc­u­men­ta­tion oblig­a­tions. It is pos­si­ble that per­son­al data will be retained for the peri­od dur­ing which claims can be assert­ed against us and inso­far as we are oth­er­wise legal­ly oblig­ed to do so or legit­i­mate busi­ness inter­ests require it (e.g. for evi­dence and doc­u­men­ta­tion pur­pos­es). As a rule, per­son­al data is retained by us until you request dele­tion, with­draw your con­sent to stor­age, or the pur­pose for stor­ing the data no longer applies.

We take appro­pri­ate tech­ni­cal and organ­i­sa­tion­al secu­ri­ty mea­sures to pro­tect your per­son­al data from unau­tho­rised access and mis­use.

As part of our busi­ness rela­tion­ship, you must pro­vide the per­son­al data that is nec­es­sary for estab­lish­ing and car­ry­ing out a busi­ness rela­tion­ship and for ful­fill­ing the asso­ci­at­ed con­trac­tu­al oblig­a­tions (as a rule, you are not legal­ly oblig­ed to pro­vide us with data). With­out this data, we will gen­er­al­ly not be able to con­clude or per­form a con­tract with you (or the enti­ty or per­son you rep­re­sent). Our web­sites can also only be used if cer­tain infor­ma­tion is dis­closed to ensure data traf­fic (such as the IP address).

As a data sub­ject, you have the fol­low­ing rights vis-à-vis us:

Right of access

You have the right to obtain infor­ma­tion from us about the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.

In prin­ci­ple, a request for infor­ma­tion is free of charge. A fee may be charged in cas­es of par­tic­u­lar­ly exten­sive work, exces­sive or repet­i­tive requests, pro­vid­ed there is no legit­i­mate inter­est. If costs apply, we will inform you in advance.

Exer­cis­ing these rights requires that you clear­ly prove your iden­ti­ty (e.g. by pro­vid­ing a copy of an ID doc­u­ment where your iden­ti­ty is oth­er­wise not clear or can­not be ver­i­fied). To assert your rights, you can con­tact us at the address pro­vid­ed.

Right to rec­ti­fi­ca­tion

You have the right to request that we cor­rect inac­cu­rate or incom­plete per­son­al data relat­ing to you.

Right to era­sure

You have the right, under cer­tain con­di­tions, to request the dele­tion of your data. For exam­ple, you can request dele­tion if the data is no longer nec­es­sary for the pur­pos­es for which it was col­lect­ed. You can also request dele­tion if we process your data on the basis of your con­sent and you with­draw that con­sent.
We reserve the right not to delete data for legit­i­mate rea­sons (e.g. legal reten­tion oblig­a­tions).

Please send requests to the address list­ed above.

Right to with­draw con­sent

You have the right to with­draw your con­sent at any time with effect for the future. Please send your with­draw­al to the address list­ed above as well.

Com­plaint

In addi­tion, every data sub­ject has the right to enforce their claims in court or to lodge a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent data pro­tec­tion author­i­ty. The com­pe­tent data pro­tec­tion author­i­ty in Switzer­land is the Fed­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion and Infor­ma­tion Com­mis­sion­er (FDPIC) (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

We may amend this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy at any time with­out pri­or notice. The cur­rent ver­sion pub­lished on our web­site applies.
