General reference
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulation of the Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against unauthorized use 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 following the statutory data protection regulations and its data protection declaration.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as well as from possible external unauthorised accesses, loss, misuse, or counterfeiting.
We would like to indicate that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from third-party access.
Through the use of this website, you express your consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages viewed 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 voluntarily as far as possible. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Privacy policy for cookies
This site uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific, user-related information on the user’s device while using the website. Cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyse the behavior of the page usage, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be called up again when you visit the site again. If you do not want this, you should set your internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.
A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be found on many services, especially in the case of tracking, the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU http://www.youronlinechoices.com/explain more details. Furthermore, cookies can be saved by switching them off in the browser settings. Please notice that using these settings eventually not all functions of this website can be used.
Data protection declaration for SSL / TLS encryption
This website uses SSL / TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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 that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Data transfer security (without SSL)
Please note that transmitted data via an open network such as the Internet or an email service without SSL encryption can be viewed by everyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser shows “http: //” and no lock symbol is shown in your browser line. Information that is transmitted over the Internet and content received online may be transmitted via third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or documents that are transmitted via such open networks or third-party networks
If you disclose personal information through an open or third-party network, you should be aware that your data may be lost or potentially accessed by third parties and, consequently, may be collected and used without your consent. In many cases, the individual data packets are transmitted encrypted, but not the names of the sender and the recipient. Even if the sender and the recipient live in the same country, data transfer via such networks is often and without controls also via third countries, i.e. about countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your home country. We assume no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the Internet and reject any liability for indirect and direct losses. We ask you to use other means of communication if you consider it necessary or reasonable for security reasons.
Despite extensive technical and organisational security precautions, data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorised persons. As far as possible, we take suitable technical and organisational security measures to prevent this from happening within our system. However, your computer is outside the security area that we can control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary safety precautions and to take appropriate measures in this regard. As the website operator, we are in no way liable for any damage that you may incur due to data loss or manipulation.
Data that you enter in online forms can be passed on to commissioned third parties for order processing, viewed by them, and processed if necessary.

This website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity 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. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed about the total number of users who clicked on their ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by setting your browser, which generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com” are blocked.
