General information

On the basis of Article 13 of the Swiss Constitution (“Bundesverfassung”) and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act “Datenschutzgesetz – DSG” ), every person has the right to the protection of their private sphere as well as to protection from the abuse of their personal data. The operators of these websites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as the present Privacy Notice.

In conjunction with our hosting providers, we endeavour as effectively as possible to protect the databases from third-party access, losses, abuse, or falsification.

Please note that the transfer of data over the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may present security vulnerabilities. Seamless protection of the data from third-party access is not possible.

By using this website you declare your consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can always be visited without registration. In this case, data such as accessed pages or names of the retrieved file, date, and time will be stored on the server for statistical purposes, without it being possible for this data to be attributed directly to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address, are collected on a voluntary basis insofar as possible. The data will not be forwarded to third parties without your consent.

Privacy notice for cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that enable information relating to the user to be stored on the device of the user while using the website. Cookies particularly make it possible to determine user frequency and the number of visitors to the website, to analyse website use behaviour as well as to make our service more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored after a browser session has ended and may be automatically retrieved in the event of a repeat visit to the website. If you do not want this to happen, you should activate settings in your internet browser to reject the acceptance of cookies.

A general rejection of the use of cookies deployed for online marketing purposes may be declared for a large number of services, above all in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies may be achieved by means of their deactivation in the browser settings. Please note that in this event, it might not be possible to use all of the functions of this online service.

Privacy notice for SSL-/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as for example the enquiries you send to us as website operators, this website uses SSL-/TLS encryption. An encrypted connection can be identified by the fact that the address bar of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” as well as by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Privacy notice for server log files

The provider of this website collects and automatically stores information in what are known as server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Utilised operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server enquiry

This data cannot be attributed to specific persons. This data will not be linked to other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if specific evidence of unlawful use become known to us.

Rights of data subjects

Right to confirmation

Each data subject has the right to demand confirmation from the operator of the website about whether personal data relating to the data subject is processed. If you wish to use this right to confirmation, you may contact the data protection officer for this purpose at any time.

Right to information

Every individual data subject with personal data affected by the processing has the right to demand from the operator of this website at any time information free of charge about the personal data stored relating to their person and to receive a copy of this information. Furthermore, information may, if relevant, be provided about the following matters:

  • the purpose of the processing
  • the categories of personal data that is processed
  • the recipients to whom the personal data has been disclosed or is to be disclosed
  • if possible, the planned duration of the storage of the personal data or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine this duration
  • the existence of the right to rectification or deletion of the personal data relating to you, or to the restriction of the processing by the data controller or of a right to object to this processing
  • the existence of a right to complain to a supervisory authority
  • if the personal data was not collected from the data subject: All available information about the source of the data

Furthermore, the data subject is entitled to information about whether personal data has been transmitted to a third country or to an international organisation. Insofar as this is the case, the data subject is moreover entitled to receive information about the appropriate guarantees associated with the transmission.

Right to rectification

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand that incorrect personal data relating to them be rectified without delay. Furthermore, the data subject also has the right, taking account of the purpose of the processing, to demand that incomplete personal data be completed – including by means of a supplementary declaration.

If you wish to use this right to rectification, you may contact our data protection officer for this purpose at any time.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand from the data controller of this website that the personal data relating to them be erased without delay, insofar as one of the following grounds is applicable and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for reasons for which it is no longer required
  • The data subject withdraws their consent upon which the processing was based, and no other legal basis for the processing exists
  • The data subject objects to the processing for reasons arising out of their particular situation, and no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing exist, or, in the case of direct marketing and associated profiling, the data subject objects to the processing
  • The personal data was processed unlawfully
  • The deletion of the personal data is necessary in order to fulfil a legal obligation under the law of the European Union or the law of the member states to which the data controller is subject
  • The personal data was collected in relation to services of the information company that were offered directly to a child

Insofar as one of the aforementioned grounds applies and you wish to arrange for the deletion of personal data that is stored by the operator of this website, you may contact our data protection officer for this purpose at any time. The data protection officer of this website will ensure that the erasure request is exercised without delay.

Right to restrict the processing

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand of the data controller of this website that the processing be restricted if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, and is done so for a period of time that enables the data controller to check the accuracy of the personal data
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject rejects the erasure of the personal data and demands the restriction of the use of the personal data instead
  • The data controller no longer requires the personal data for the purpose of the processing, although the data subject requires this data to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims
  • The data subject has objected to the processing for reasons arising out of their particular situation, and it has not yet been ascertained whether the legitimate reasons of the data controller outweigh those of the data subject

Insofar as one of the aforementioned conditions has been met, and you wish to demand the restriction of personal data that is stored at the operator of this website, you may contact our data protection officer for this purpose at any time. The data protection officer of this website will ensure that the processing is restricted.

Right to data portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data relating to them in a structured, accessible, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to demand that this data is transmitted to another data controller if the statutory preconditions have been established.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to demand that the personal data is transmitted directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible, and insofar as this does not impair the rights and freedoms of other persons.

To exercise the right to data portability, you may contact the data protection officer appointed by the operator of this website at any time.

Right to object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, for reasons arising out of their particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to them.

In the event of this objection, the operator of this website will stop processing the personal data, unless we are able to demonstrate mandatory reasons that deserve protection and that outweigh the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

To exercise the right to object, you may contact the data protection officer of this website directly.

Right to revoke a statutory data protection consent

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right at any time to revoke consent that has been given to process personal data.

If you wish to exercise your right to revoke a consent, you may contact our data protection officer for this purpose at any time.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to show interactive maps to you directly on the website and enables you to use the convenient maps function. By visiting the website, Google is informed that you have retrieved the corresponding sub-page of our website. This takes place irrespective of whether Google makes a user account available through which you log in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, the data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you will need to log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as a user profile and uses this for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or the appropriate design of its website. Any such evaluation is performed in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide appropriate 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 this user profile, whereby you will need to contact Google to exercise this right. Additional information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by Google, in addition to further information about your associated rights and setting options to protect your private sphere, is available under: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Privacy notice for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for the data processing on this website is located outside the European Union or Switzerland, then the Google Analytics data processing is performed by Google LLC. In the following, Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are called “Google”.

The collected statistics enable us to improve our service and to make this more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor streams conducted by means of a user ID. Insofar as you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your activities in the associated settings under “My data”, “Personal data”.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Para. 1 P. 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the context of Google Analytics will not be merged by Google with other data. Please note that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” in order to ensure the anonymised recording of IP addresses. This means IP addresses are processed in truncated form, thus excluding a personal attribution. Insofar as the data collected about you has personal links, this will therefore immediately be excluded and the personal data will consequently be erased without delay.

The full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there only in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities and to render further services associated with the website use and internet use vis-à-vis the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transmitted to the USA, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google Analytics uses cookies. As a rule, information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and saved there. You can prevent the saving of the cookies by means of a corresponding setting in your browser software; it is important to note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website to the full extent. You may also prevent the recording of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in under the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics.

In addition, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This will save what is known as an opt-out cookie on your data medium that prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that when you delete all cookies on your end device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, that is to say you will need to reinstate the opt-out cookies if you continue to wish to prevent this form of data collection. Opt-out cookies are placed for each browser and computer/end device, and for this reason need to be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other end device.

Use of Adobe Fonts

We use Adobe Fonts for the visual design of our website. Adobe Fonts is a service of Adobe Systems Incorporated, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110-2704, USA (Adobe), which grants us access to a library of fonts. In order to integrate the fonts used by us, your browser must establish a link to an Adobe server in the USA and download the font that is needed for our website. This informs Adobe that our website was accessed by your IP address. Further information about Adobe Fonts is available in the privacy notices of Adobe, which you can download here: Adobe Fonts

Amendments

We may amend this Privacy Notice at any time without prior notice. The latest version published on our website is applicable. Insofar as the Privacy Notice is an integral part of our agreement with you, we shall inform you about this by e-mail or by other appropriate means in the event of an update.
