Data Collection on This Website

Our website is hosted by an external hosting provider. To optimize and maintain our website, we log technical errors that may occur when accessing our website. Furthermore, information is automatically collected when using this website, which your browser transmits to our hosting provider. This includes:

  • The website from which the access was made (referrer URL)

  • Transmission protocol used (e.g., HTTP/2)

This data is collected and stored by our hosting provider to optimize processes and operations, particularly in connection with the use of our website and the security and stability of the computer system.

If the GDPR applies, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We use the data you provide to respond to your inquiry. If the GDPR applies, the legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files stored on your device that your browser saves. Some of the cookies we use are automatically deleted when you leave our website. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them or they expire. These cookies allow your browser to be recognized on your next visit.

You can set your browser to be informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept cookies for certain cases or generally exclude them, or to completely prevent cookies. This may limit the functionality of the website.

Cookies required for electronic communication or for functions you request, or that optimize your user experience, are stored—if the GDPR applies—on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Newsletter

We offer a newsletter that you can subscribe to. When you sign up for the newsletter, we collect at least your email address. Our external newsletter service provider may collect additional data; please refer to their privacy policy.

We use your email address to send you the newsletter. If the GDPR applies, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Newsletter Analytics

We use an analytics service to measure the reach of our newsletter. We measure how often the newsletter is opened and which links recipients follow. If the GDPR applies, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

External Services

We use various third-party services on our website. Below we explain which services we use, what for, and what data is collected.

Integrating external services can be tricky under current European jurisprudence. The transfer of personal data to external providers (e.g., analytics, advertising, CDN, fonts, videos, etc.) should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Links

You will find links to third-party websites on our website. We are not responsible for the content and data protection provisions on external websites that you can reach via the links. Please inform yourself about data protection directly on the relevant websites.

Data Transfer to Third Parties

To provide you with information on our website, we work with various service providers, namely IT service providers, to offer you a modern website. They only use your data within the scope of contract processing for us.

Except for the provisions in this privacy policy, we only transfer data to locations outside Switzerland and the European Union (third countries) without your consent if required to fulfill a contract, to comply with legal obligations, or to protect our legitimate interests.

Your Rights

To the extent provided for by applicable data protection law, you can request free information about your stored data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing. Likewise, you have the right to correction, deletion, restriction of, or objection to processing, and—if the GDPR applies—to data portability.

You can revoke any consent you have given with effect for the future at any time. A simple message by email to us is sufficient.

Please note that the above rights are subject to legal restrictions and may affect or make it impossible to provide our services.

You are entitled to enforce your claims in court or file a complaint with the competent data protection authority. For Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner is responsible (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

Currentness and Amendment of This Privacy Policy

We may change or adapt this privacy policy at any time. The current privacy policy can be found on our website.
