General Information / Introduction
Pursuant to Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and to protection against the misuse of their 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 the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect our databases as effectively as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or tampering.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. In principle, this website can be visited without registration. Data such as the pages accessed, the names of files accessed, and the date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly linked to you personally. Where personal data (such as your name, address or email address) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

Processing of personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is a person in respect of whom personal data is processed. Processing encompasses any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, in particular the storage, disclosure, collection, erasure, retention, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Where and to the extent that the EU GDPR applies, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in conjunction with Article 6(1) of the GDPR:
(a) Processing of personal data with the data subject’s consent.
(b) Processing of personal data for the purpose of fulfilling a contract with the data subject and for the purpose of taking appropriate pre-contractual measures.
(c) Processing of personal data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.
(d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms, rights and interests of the data subject do not take precedence. These legitimate interests include, in particular, our commercial interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the relevant purpose or purposes. Where we are subject to longer-term retention requirements under statutory or other obligations, we restrict our processing accordingly.

Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that enable specific, user-related information to be stored on the user’s device whilst they are using the website. In particular, cookies enable us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyse patterns of website usage, and also to make our website more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not wish this to happen, you should configure your web browser to refuse cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be submitted for a wide range of services – particularly in relation to tracking – via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, you can prevent cookies from being stored by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that, in this case, not all features of this website will be available.

With SSL/TLS encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar in your browser changes from «http://» to «https://» and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.

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

Server log files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in what are known as server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the connecting computer
Time of the server request

This data cannot be linked to specific individuals. This data is not combined with data from other sources. We reserve the right to review this data at a later date should we become aware of specific evidence of unlawful use.

Third-party services
This website may use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.

These services provided by the US-based company Google LLC use, amongst other things, cookies, which result in data being transferred to Google in the USA; however, we assume that, in this context, no personal tracking takes place solely as a result of using our website.

Google has undertaken to ensure an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the US-EU and US-Swiss Privacy Shield frameworks.

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you have provided there, for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Newsletter
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we will need your email address, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data solely for the purpose of sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
Once you have given your consent to the storage of your data and email address, and to their use for sending the newsletter, you may withdraw this consent at any time, for example via the «unsubscribe link» in the newsletter.

If you wish to exercise this right to rectification, you may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right to request that the data controller of this website erase their personal data without delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and the processing is no longer necessary:
The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer required.
The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing
The data subject objects to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in the case of direct marketing and associated profiling
The personal data was processed unlawfully
The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject

The processing is unlawful; the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests, instead, that the use of the personal data be restricted
The data controller no longer requires the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires it for the purposes of asserting, the data subject has objected to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation, and it has not yet been established whether the legitimate interests of the controller override those of the data subject
If any of the above conditions apply, you may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time to request that the operator of this website restrict the processing of your personal data. The Data Protection Officer for this website will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

Right to data portability
Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right to receive the personal data relating to them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, provided that this is technically feasible and does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

A right to object
Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right to object, at any time, to the processing of their personal data on grounds relating to their particular situation.

To exercise your right to object, you can contact this website’s data protection officer directly.
Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time.

The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising being sent, for example via spam emails.

Paid services
In order to provide services subject to a charge, we collect further data, such as payment details, so that we can fulfil your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Copyright
The copyright and all other rights to the content, images, photographs or other files on the website are held exclusively by the operator of this website or the rights holders named. Prior written consent must be obtained from the copyright holders before any files may be reproduced.
Anyone who infringes copyright without the consent of the relevant copyright holders may be liable to criminal prosecution and, in certain circumstances, may be liable for damages.

Disclaimer
All information on our website has been carefully checked. We endeavour to ensure that the information we provide is up to date, accurate and complete. Nevertheless, the possibility of errors cannot be entirely ruled out, and we therefore cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy or timeliness of the information, including that of a journalistic or editorial nature. Claims for damages, whether material or non-material, arising from the use or non-use of the information provided, or from the use of incorrect or incomplete information, are generally excluded.
The publisher may amend or delete text at its own discretion and without prior notice, and is under no obligation to update the content of this website. Use of or access to this website is at the visitor’s own risk. The publisher, its customers or partners are not liable for any damages, such as direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damages, allegedly caused by visiting this website, and therefore accept no liability for such damages.
The publisher also accepts no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links from this website. The operators of the linked sites are solely responsible for their content. The publisher therefore expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or civil law or that contravenes public decency.

Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to use the map function conveniently. When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant page on our website. This occurs regardless of whether you are logged in to a Google account or do not have a Google account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to your needs. Such analysis is carried out in particular (including for users who are not logged in) to deliver personalised 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. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further details regarding your rights in this regard and the settings available to protect your privacy, can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Ads
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have arrived at our website via an advert placed by Google, Google Ads will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advert placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify individuals. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the advert and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to take part in tracking, you can refuse to allow the cookie required for this to be set – for example, by using a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies, or by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain «googleleadservices.com» are blocked.
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies unless you do not want tracking data to be collected. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you will need to set the relevant opt-out cookie again.

Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing feature provided by Google Inc. The purpose of this feature is to display interest-based adverts to website visitors within the Google Display Network. A so-called «cookie» is stored in the website visitor’s browser, which makes it possible to recognise the visitor when they visit websites that are part of the Google advertising network. On these websites, the visitor may be shown adverts relating to content that they have previously viewed on websites using Google’s remarketing feature.
According to Google, it does not collect any personal data during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing feature, you can generally disable it by adjusting the relevant settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can opt out of the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Google reCAPTCHA
This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; «Google»). The purpose of this check is to distinguish whether the input is being made by a human or by an automated, machine-based process. The verification process involves the transmission of your IP address and, where applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and processed there. However, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to 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 truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data held by Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA in the process. An adequacy decision by the European Commission, the «Privacy Shield», applies to data transfers to the USA. Google participates in the «Privacy Shield» and has committed to complying with its requirements. By submitting the query, you consent to the processing of your data. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR with your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the associated privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, data processing by Google Analytics is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as «Google».
The statistics we collect enable us to improve our service and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics to analyse visitor traffic across devices, which is done via a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can disable cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under «My Data» and «Personal Data».
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with any other data held by Google. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended to include the code «_anonymizeIp();» to ensure that IP addresses are collected anonymously. This means that IP addresses are processed in a truncated form, so that they cannot be linked to a specific individual. Should the data collected about you be capable of being attributed to a specific individual, this will be ruled out immediately and the personal data will be deleted without delay.
Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. In the exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has complied with the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Google Analytics uses cookies. 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. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all the features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: Disable Google Analytics.
In addition, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. This will store a so-called opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents Google Analytics from processing personal data. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted; this means you will need to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and per computer or device and must therefore be enabled separately for each browser, computer or other device.

Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense on this website. This is an advertising programme run by Google Inc. In Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google AdSense enables us to display adverts on this website that are relevant to our subject matter.

Google AdSense uses cookies to display adverts that are relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance, or to prevent a user from seeing the same adverts multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google tracks which adverts are displayed in which browser, thereby preventing them from being shown multiple times. In addition, Google AdSense may use cookie IDs to track so-called conversions associated with ad views. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads advert and later visits the advertiser’s website using the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personal information.

The marketing tools used cause your browser to automatically establish a direct connection to Google’s server. Through the integration of Google Ads, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant section of our website or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that Google may obtain and store your IP address.

There are various ways in which you can prevent your data from being tracked in this way:

by adjusting the settings in your browser software accordingly; in particular, blocking third-party cookies means that you will not receive any third-party adverts;
by disabling conversion tracking cookies, by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domains «www.googleadservices.com» and ‘https://adssettings.google.com’; please note that this setting will be reset if you clear your cookies;
by disabling interest-based advertising from providers participating in the «About Ads» self-regulatory campaign via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices; please note that this setting will be reset if you clear your cookies;
by permanently disabling cookies in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that, in this case, you may not be able to make full use of all the features of this website.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is a balancing of interests, according to which there are no overriding interests on your part that would preclude the processing of your personal data as described above (Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR). Further information on Google Ads can be found at https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/, and on Google’s data protection policy in general at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at https://www.networkadvertising.org.

Google Web Fonts
This website uses so-called web fonts, provided by Google, to ensure consistent font display. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags via an interface, enabling us, for example, to integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any of users’ personal data. With regard to the processing of users’ personal data, please refer to the following information on Google’s services. Terms of Use: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Facebook
This website uses features provided by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you visit our pages that contain Facebook plugins, a connection is established between your browser and Facebook’s servers. Data is transmitted to Facebook as part of this process. If you have a Facebook account, this data may be linked to it. If you do not wish this data to be linked to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our site. Interactions, in particular the use of a comment function or clicking a «Like» or «Share» button, are also forwarded to Facebook. You can find out more at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Instagram
Our website incorporates features from the Instagram service. These features are provided by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content on our pages to your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This enables Instagram to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Instagram. Further information can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/

LinkedIn
Within our online offering, we use the marketing services of the social network LinkedIn, operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland («LinkedIn»).
These use cookies, which are text files stored on your computer. This enables us to analyse your use of the website. For example, it allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising and show users products they have previously shown an interest in.
For example, information is collected about the operating system, the browser, the previously visited website (referrer URL), the web pages visited, the links clicked, and the date and time of your visit to our website.
The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is transmitted in pseudonymous form to a LinkedIn server in the USA and stored there. LinkedIn therefore does not store the name or email address of the user in question. Instead, the aforementioned data is only associated with the person for whom the cookie was generated. This does not apply if the user has authorised LinkedIn to process the data without pseudonymisation or if they have a LinkedIn account.
You can refuse the use of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly, but please note that you may then be unable to use all the features of this website. You can also object to the use of your data directly with LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
We use LinkedIn Analytics to analyse how our website is used and to improve it on a regular basis. The statistics we gather enable us to enhance our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. All LinkedIn companies have adopted the Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure that data transfers to the USA and Singapore, which are necessary for the development, implementation and maintenance of the services, are carried out lawfully. Where we request consent from users, the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the use of LinkedIn Analytics is Article 6(1), first sentence, point (f) of the GDPR.

Online shop / Webshop
We process our customers’ data in accordance with the data protection provisions of the Federal (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the EU GDPR in connection with the ordering process in our online shop, in order to enable them to select and order the products and services of their choice, as well as to facilitate payment, delivery and fulfilment.
The data processed includes master data (customer details), communication data, contract data and payment data; the data subjects affected by this processing include our customers, prospective customers and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services in connection with the operation of an online shop, billing, delivery and customer service.

Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) (fulfilment of orders) and (c) (statutory archiving) of the GDPR. The data marked as ‘required’ is necessary for the conclusion and performance of the contract. We only pass on data to third parties in connection with delivery, payment or in accordance with statutory authorisations and obligations. Data is only processed in third countries where this is necessary for the performance of the contract (e.g. at the customer’s request for delivery or payment).
Users have the option of creating a user account, which allows them, in particular, to view their orders. During the registration process, users are informed of the required mandatory details. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines, such as Google. Once users have closed their user account, their data relating to that account will be deleted, unless its retention is required for commercial or tax law reasons in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. Information in the customer account is retained until it is deleted and subsequently archived in the event of a legal obligation. It is the users’ responsibility to save their data in the event of termination prior to the end of the contract.
As part of the registration and re-registration processes, as well as the use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of each user action. This data is stored on the basis of our legitimate interests and those of our users in protecting against misuse and other unauthorised use. As a general rule, this data is not disclosed to third parties, unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
Data will be deleted once statutory warranty obligations and similar obligations have expired; the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular intervals. In the event of statutory archiving obligations, the data will be deleted once these obligations have expired.

Data transfer to the USA
Our website incorporates, amongst other things, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. Please note that the USA is not a ‘safe third country’ within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, analyse and permanently store your data held on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing operations.
