The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits. This can be:

  • browser type and browser version

  • operating system used

  • referrer URL

  • hostname of the accessing computer

  • time of the server request

  • IP address

This data will not be merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest), if the GDPR is applicable, or on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Providing a functional website is in our legitimate interest.

3.2 Cookies
Our website sometimes uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our service more user-friendly, effective and secure. These can be session cookies (which are automatically deleted when you close your browser) or permanent cookies (which remain stored on your device until you delete them).
Cookies are generally used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest), provided that the GDPR is applicable, or on the basis of our legitimate interests under Swiss law, as we have an interest in a technically error-free and optimized provision of our services.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies, only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

5.1 Google Analytics

Our website may use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

  • IP anonymization: We have activated IP anonymization on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA.

  • Storage period: Personal data will be deleted after 14 months.

  • Objection: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The legal basis for storing Google Analytics cookies is – if the GDPR is applicable – your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or our legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, if applicable, our advertising. In Swiss law, the provisions of the DSG are observed in this regard.
(Please remove or adjust if Google Analytics is not used.)

5.2 Integration of third-party content (e.g. Google Maps, social media plugins, etc.)

If third-party content (e.g. Google Maps for map display, Facebook/Instagram plugins or other social media buttons) is integrated into our website, these third parties may set cookies and/or process personal data. Information about the scope, purpose and further processing of your data can be found in the data protection declarations of the respective providers.

(Please add or remove depending on which third-party content is actually used.)

6. Transfer of data to third parties
We will only share your personal information with third parties if:

  • you have expressly consented

  • this is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures,

  • we are legally obliged to

  • or if we have a legitimate interest in doing so (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.) and your legitimate interests do not outweigh them.

Your data will only be transferred to a third country (outside Switzerland or the EEA) if appropriate guarantees (e.g. EU standard contractual clauses) are ensured or if you have given your consent.

7. Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies or you request us to delete it or revoke your consent. Statutory retention periods (e.g. under Swiss Code of Obligations) remain unaffected.
