Privacy Policy
Data protection notice
Your privacy is very important to us. The content can be used without registration. However, we use industry standard technologies to measure and improve the performance of our website and collect data for this purpose. In some cases, we work with external service providers. When we (or third parties on our behalf) collect and process personal data, we comply with the requirements of the Swiss Data Protection Act. In addition, we are also guided by the requirements of the European DGSVO. This data protection notice explains how we do this.
What data do we collect and for what purpose?
Our website can be used without providing personal data. However, when visiting the website, our web server temporarily stores information about the user’s access. This is the IP address, the date and time of access, the name and URL of the file accessed, the website from which access is made (referrer URL), the browser used, the operating system of the computer used and the name of the user’s access provider. We use this data to ensure a smooth connection, a comfortable use of the website, the evaluation of system security and stability as well as for other administrative purposes. If you write to us via the contact form, we use your e-mail address and name to answer your query.
Do we pass on your data to third parties?
We only pass on your personal data to third parties if you have expressly consented to this, if there is a legal obligation or permission to do so, if the passing on of data is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
How secure is your data?
We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data from manipulation, loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. When you visit our website, the SSL encryption process is used.
What rights do you have with regard to your data?
You have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, revocation of your consent and objection. If you are of the opinion that the processing of your data violates data protection laws, you can report this to us or the competent supervisory authority.
How can we change this privacy notice?
We reserve the right to change this privacy notice at any time. Any changes will be published on the website.
