Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection from the misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. During this visit, data such as accessed pages or the names of retrieved files, the date, and the time may be stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, especially names, addresses, or email addresses, are collected voluntarily wherever possible. Without your consent, this data will not be passed on to third parties.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that allow specific information related to the user to be stored on the user’s device while they are using the website. Cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the website, to analyze the behavior of website users, and to make our offerings more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be recalled when the user visits the site again. If you do not want this, you should configure your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

You can generally object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes on various services, especially in the case of tracking, on the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Additionally, you can prevent the storage of cookies by deactivating them in your browser settings. Please note that this may limit the functionality of this website.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you entered, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API to display geographical information visually. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about the usage of the map features by visitors. For more information on data processing by Google, please refer to Google’s privacy policy. You can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy center.

Google AdWords

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you accessed our website via a Google advertisement, a cookie will be set on your computer by Google AdWords. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google advertisement. These cookies expire after 30 days and do not serve personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers receive information on the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion-tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by adjusting your browser settings to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”.

Please note that if you delete the opt-out cookies, you will need to set the relevant opt-out cookie again if you do not want your data to be tracked.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing feature of Google Inc. This function is used to present interest-based ads to visitors to the website within the Google advertising network. A “cookie” is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which allows the visitor to be recognized when they visit websites that are part of the Google advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with ads related to content previously accessed on websites that use Google’s remarketing feature.

According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you still do not wish to use Google’s remarketing feature, you can deactivate it by adjusting the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable 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.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The purpose of the query is to determine whether the input is made by a human or through automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and further used there. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate 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. A European Commission adequacy decision, the “Privacy Shield”, is in place for data transfers to the USA. Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has submitted to its requirements. By activating the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To disable Google Analytics, Google provides a browser plugin at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Google Analytics uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific, user-related information to be stored on the user’s device. This enables an analysis of the usage of our website offering by Google. The information collected by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. We have activated IP anonymization on this website so that Google shortens IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission, making it impossible to relate them to a specific person. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google complies with the privacy provisions of the “Privacy Shield” agreement and is registered with the US Department of Commerce’s “Privacy Shield” program. Google uses the collected information to evaluate the use of our websites, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website activity.

Agency Services

We process the data of our clients in accordance with the privacy regulations of the Federal Data Protection Act (DSG) and the EU GDPR within the scope of our contractual services.

We process inventory data (e.g., customer data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., email, phone numbers), content data (e.g., text inputs), contract data (e.g., contract subject, term), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history), usage, and metadata (e.g., for the evaluation and success measurement of marketing activities). The data subjects include our customers, prospects, their customers, users, website visitors, employees, and third parties. The purpose of processing is the provision of contractual services, billing, and customer service. The legal basis for the processing results from Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (contractual services), and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of contractual services and indicate the necessity of their provision. Disclosure to external parties is only made when necessary within the scope of an order. When processing data provided to us within the framework of an order, we act according to the instructions of the client and in accordance with the legal requirements of data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and do not process the data for any purposes other than those required by the order.

We delete the data after the expiration of statutory warranty and similar obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular intervals. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiration. In the case of data provided to us in the course of an order by the client, we delete the data according to the provisions of the order, generally after the end of the order.

Note Regarding Data Transfers to the USA

For users based in Switzerland, please note that US authorities may conduct surveillance measures that generally allow the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that is transferred to the USA.

This happens without differentiation, limitation, or exception based on the pursued objectives and without an objective criterion that would allow restricting the access of US authorities to the data and their subsequent use to specific, strictly limited purposes that could justify the access and use of this data. Furthermore, please note that individuals from Switzerland have no legal remedies in the USA that would allow them to access the data concerning them, have it corrected or deleted, or obtain effective judicial protection against general access rights by US authorities. We explicitly point out this legal and factual situation to the affected individuals so they can make an informed decision regarding their consent to the use of their data.

For users residing in an EU member state, please note that, from the perspective of the European Union, the USA does not provide an adequate level of data protection.
