Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Swiss Confederation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP), every person has the right to protection of their privacy as well as protection against
misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website 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 well as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. 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 your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. The data will
not be passed on to third parties without your consent. Without your consent, the data will not be passed on to third parties.
Personal data is all information that relates to a specific 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, procurement, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, 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:
In accordance with Art. 13 of the GDPR, we inform you about the legal bases of our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 of the GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and implement contractual measures and respond to inquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the course of our processing of personal data, the data may be transferred to or disclosed to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons. 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 that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.
If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or the processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, entities or companies, this will only be done in accordance with legal requirements. ubject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we process the data only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation by so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection rules (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_en).
We process personal data for the duration that is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we limit the processing accordingly.

This website uses SSL / TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries that 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 transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.
This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos. These services of the American Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result data is transmitted to Google in the USA, whereby we assume that no personal tracking takes place 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.

This website uses Clicky, a web analytics service provided by Roxr Software, Ltd. ("Roxr"). Clicky uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.
The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a server of Roxr Software Ltd and stored there anonymously. Clicky Web Analytics will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
The processing and evaluation of the data is carried out within the scope of our legitimate interest exclusively internally for the maintenance and improvement of the operation of this website and the associated services. Roxr may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Roxr's behalf. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Clicky will not be merged with any other data held by Roxr.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. Please note that, in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Roxr and the processing of this data by installing an appropriate browser plug-in.
This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
We process the data of our members, supporters, interested parties, customers or other persons in accordance with the data protection
regulations of the federal government (Federal Act on Data Protection Act, FADP) and the EU-GDPR in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR,
insofar as we offer them contractual services or act within the scope of existing business relationships, e.g. with members, or are ourselves
recipients of services and benefits. Otherwise, we process the data of data subjects pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR on the basis of our
legitimate interests, e.g. when administrative tasks or public relations are involved.
The data processed in this context, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying
contractual relationship. In principle, this includes inventory and master data of persons (e.g., name, address, etc.), as well as contact
data (e.g., e-mail address, telephone, etc.), contract data (e.g., services used, content and information provided, names of contact persons)
and, if we offer payable services or products, payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history, etc.).
We delete data that is no longer required for the provision of the statutory purposes. This is determined according to the respective tasks
and contractual relationships. In the case of business processing, we retain the data for as long as they may be relevant to the business
transaction, as well as with regard to any warranty or liability obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular
intervals. In all other respects, the statutory retention obligations apply.
Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
The copyright and all other rights to the content, images, photos or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or the specifically named copyright holders. For the reproduction of all files, the written consent of the copyright holder must be obtained in advance. Anyone who commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective copyright holder may be liable to prosecution and possibly to damages.
All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up-to-date, correct and complete. Nevertheless, the occurrence of errors can not be completely excluded, so we can not
guarantee the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of information, including journalistic-editorial nature. Liability claims regarding damage caused by the use of any information provided, including any kind of information which is incomplete
or incorrect, will therefore be rejected, provided that there is no evidence of willful or grossly negligent fault.

or partners are not responsible for damage, such as direct, indirect, accidental, specifically to be determined in advance or consequential damage, which allegedly resulted from visiting this website and consequently assume no liability for
this. The publisher also assumes no responsibility or liability for the content a nd availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links on this website. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for
their content. The publisher thus expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that is contrary to common decency.
