data protection
1. Overview of data protection
principle
Data protection is very important to us. Our website can also be used without providing any personal data. However, if you would like to use our services via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, among other things, information about your use of our website, whereby the following data is collected using log files and cookies: the extent of the data transfer, the location from which you access data from our website and other connection data and sources that you access . If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our data protection declaration listed below this text.
Processing of personal data
Personal data are all data with which you can be personally identified.
The processing of personal data, for example your name, your address, your telephone number or your e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the Swiss data protection regulations that apply to us. With this data protection declaration we would like to inform the public about the type, purpose and scope of the personal data we collect, use and process. In addition, we would like to inform you about your rights by means of this data protection declaration.
Security of your data
As the person responsible for the personal data processed via this website, we have implemented numerous organizational and technical measures to ensure the most complete protection possible. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us in alternative ways, for example by post or telephone.
Data collection on our website
The data collection and data processing is also carried out by the website operator. You can find our contact details in the imprint of this website.

The basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which allows us to process data to fulfill a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Cookies
Some of the websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. By using cookies, we can provide you with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies. Cookies enable us to recognize you on our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for you to use our website. The cookies are not assigned to your name, your IP address or similar data.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and 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 you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Legal basis
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you require (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
as well as other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about users. Rather, this information is needed to
deliver the content of our website correctly,
to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and
to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack.
We therefore evaluate this anonymously collected data and information on the one hand statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data you have provided.
Legal basis
The basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which allows us to process data to fulfill a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Contact / contact form
You have the option of contacting us (e.g. using the contact form, e-mail, telephone or via social media channels). If you contact us, your details will be processed to process the contact request and its handling. Your details can be saved in our CRM (Customer Relationship Management System) or a comparable request organization. Which personal data is transmitted is determined for you from the respective input mask that is used to contact us, or from the data you have also transmitted to us. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use and for your own purposes. We can arrange for the transfer to be made to one or more processors, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use that is attributable to our use.
By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also saved. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offenses to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for us to secure it. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or it is used for criminal prosecution.
Legal basis
The basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which allows us to process data to fulfill a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Deletion of data
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are saved on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. 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 the IP anonymization function on this website. This will shorten your IP address. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as from visitor data from third-party providers. These data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as described in the following point “Objection to data collection”.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or computer) . If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account. To support this function, Google Analytics collects user IDs authenticated by Google, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.
Google Privacy Policy

Legal basis
The summary of the recorded data in your Google account takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent, which you have given to Google (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
