General information

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DSG ) everyone has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against 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 statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

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

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or the name of the file accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to you. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, we process personal data – to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable – in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR :

• Consent (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a. GDPR) - The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for a specific purpose or several specific purposes.
• Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. b. GDPR) - The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.
• Legal obligation (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c. GDPR) - The processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
• Protection of vital interests (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d. GDPR) - The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. f. GDPR) - Processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data prevail.
• Application process as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b GDPR) - If, as part of the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants so that the controller or the data subject can exercise the rights arising from employment law and social security and social protection law and fulfill his or her obligations in this regard, their processing takes place in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b. GDPR, in the case of the protection of vital interests of the applicants or other persons in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. c. GDPR or for the purposes of healthcare or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. h. GDPR. In the case of communication of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a. GDPR.

We process personal data for the period necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. If longer retention periods are required due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we will inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the data protection declaration, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and carry out contractual measures as well as answering inquiries is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include in particular ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access to it, input, transfer, ensuring availability and separation. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and reactions to threats to data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

Transmission of personal data

As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transmitted to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons or that it is disclosed to them. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this will only be done in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transmission, we only process the data in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, if certifications or binding internal data protection regulations exist (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

Privacy Policy for Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online service. The information stored can include, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a shopping cart or the location where a video was watched. The term cookies also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g. when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as "user IDs").

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

• Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offering and closed his browser.
• Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes, can be stored in such a cookie.
• First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us ourselves.
• Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
• Necessary (also: essential or absolutely necessary) cookies: Cookies can be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user inputs or for security reasons).
• Statistics, marketing and personalization cookies: Cookies are also generally used to measure reach and when a user's interests or behavior (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used to show users content that corresponds to their potential interests, for example. This process is also known as "tracking," i.e. tracking the potential interests of users. If we use cookies or "tracking" technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or when obtaining consent.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the commercial operation of our online offering and its improvement) or if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we provide you with explicit information about the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g. as part of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to revoke a given consent or to object to the processing of your data using cookie technologies (collectively referred to as "opt-out"). You can initially declare your objection using the settings in your browser, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (although this may also limit the functionality of our online offer). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared using a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, you can receive further objection notices in the context of the information on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management process within the framework of which the consent of users to the use of cookies or the processing and providers mentioned in the cookie consent management process can be obtained and managed and revoked by users. The declaration of consent is stored so that it does not have to be requested again and consent can be proven in accordance with the legal obligation. Storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or with the help of comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The consent can be stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information on the scope of the consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) and the browser, system and device used.

• Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
• Affected persons: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
• Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a. GDPR), Legitimate Interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Data transfer security (without SSL)

Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the Internet or an email service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser shows "http://" and no lock symbol is displayed in your browser line. Information transmitted over the Internet and content received online may be transmitted over third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or documents transmitted over such open networks or third-party networks.

If you disclose personal information over an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or that third parties may potentially access this information and consequently collect and use the data without your consent. In many cases, individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, but not the names of the sender and recipient. Even if the sender and recipient live in the same country, data is often transmitted over such networks without any controls to third countries, i.e. countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of residence. We accept no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the Internet and reject any liability for direct or indirect losses. We ask you to use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or reasonable for security reasons.

Despite extensive technical and organizational security measures, data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorized persons. We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent this from happening within our system. However, your computer is located outside the security area that we can control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures in this regard. As the website operator, we are not liable under any circumstances for any damage that you may suffer as a result of data loss or manipulation.

Data that you enter in online forms may be passed on to commissioned third parties for the purpose of order processing and may be viewed and, if necessary, processed by them.

Privacy policy for server log files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This is:

• Browser type and version
• operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of server request

This data cannot be assigned to specific people. This data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently check this data if we become aware of concrete evidence of illegal 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 of the American Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result data is transferred to Google in the USA, whereby we assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context solely through the use of our website.

Google is committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-European and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

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

Privacy policy for contact form

If you send us inquiries using the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Paid services

In order to provide paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to be able to process your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you came to our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Ads will place a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for 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. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page 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 participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this purpose - for example, by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain «googleleadservices.com».

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This function is designed to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she visits websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, visitors can be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously viewed on websites that use the Google remarketing function.

According to Google, it does not collect any personal data during this process. If you do not want to use Google's remarketing function, you can generally deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads . Alternatively, you can deactivate 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

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter "Google". reCAPTCHA is intended to check whether the data entered on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is carried out by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, length of time the website visitor spends on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data recorded during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy can be found at the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google".

Using the statistics obtained, we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under "My data", "Personal data".

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. We would like to point out that Google Analytics has been extended on this website to include the code «_anonymizeIp();» in order to ensure that IP addresses are recorded anonymously. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, which means that they cannot be linked to a person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, this will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted 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 the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information on your use of this website generated through the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics .

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics . This will save a so-called opt-out cookie on your data storage device, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, i.e. you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you want to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.

Privacy Policy for Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense on this website. This is an advertising program from Google Inc. In Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With Google AdSense we can display advertisements on this website that match our topic.

Google AdSense uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, Google AdSense can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads ad 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.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and save your IP address.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:

1. by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular the suppression of third-party cookies will ensure that you do not receive any third-party advertisements;
2. by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain «www.googleadservices.com», https://adssettings.google.com , whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
3. by deactivating interest-based ads from providers who are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices , whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
4. by permanently deactivating it in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin . We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is a balancing of interests, according to which the processing of your personal data described above is not opposed by any overriding opposing interests on your part (Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR). Further information on Google Ads from Google can be found at https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/ , as well as on data protection at Google in general: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy . Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://www.networkadvertising.org .

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of users. With regard to the processing of users' personal data, reference is made to the following information on Google services. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html .

Order processing in the online shop with customer account

We process our customers' data in accordance with the data protection regulations of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the EU GDPR, as part of the ordering process in our online shop, in order to enable them to select and order the selected products and services, as well as to pay for and deliver them or execute them.

The data processed includes master data (inventory data), communication data, contract data, payment data and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, interested parties and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the scope of operating an online shop, billing, delivery and customer services. We use session cookies, e.g. for storing the shopping cart contents, and permanent cookies, e.g. for storing the login status.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b (execution of order processes) and c (legally required archiving) GDPR. The information marked as required is required to establish and fulfill the contract. We only disclose the data to third parties in the context of delivery, payment or within the scope of legal permissions and obligations. The data is only processed in third countries if this is necessary to fulfill the contract (e.g. at the customer's request during delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account, in particular where they can view their orders. During registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to users. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines, e.g. Google. If users have canceled their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, provided that their retention is necessary for commercial or tax law reasons in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c of GDPR. Information in the customer account remains until it is deleted and then archived in the event of a legal obligation. It is the responsibility of users to save their data before the end of the contract if the contract is canceled.

When registering and re-registering, as well as when using our online services, we save the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The data is saved on the basis of our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interests in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Deletion occurs after the expiry 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 these have expired.
