General note

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

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

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. 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 viewed or the names of files accessed, as well as the date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, in particular your name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Your data will not be shared with third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the retention, disclosure, collection, erasure, storage, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases pursuant to Article 6(1) GDPR:

lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject override those interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose(s). Where longer retention periods are required due to legal or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Privacy policy for cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific, user-related information on the user's device while they are using the website. Cookies allow us, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze user behavior on the site, and also to make our website more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored after a browser session ends and can be retrieved when the website is visited again. If you do not wish 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 with many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, you can prevent the storage of cookies by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that this may prevent you from using all the features of this website.

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 inquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

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

Data transmission security (without SSL)

Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the internet or an email service without SSL encryption is visible to everyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar displays "http://" and no padlock icon is shown. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may be transmitted via third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or documents transmitted via such open or third-party networks.

When you disclose personal information via an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or that third parties could potentially access and collect this information without your consent. While individual data packets are often transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient reside in the same country, data transmission via such networks frequently occurs without oversight through third countries, i.e., countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of residence. We assume no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the internet and disclaim all liability for direct and indirect losses. We urge you to use alternative means of communication if you deem it necessary or advisable for security reasons.

Despite extensive technical and organizational security measures, data may still be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorized persons. We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent this within our system to the extent possible. However, your computer is outside the security perimeter we control. It is your responsibility as the user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures. As the website operator, we are in no way liable for any damages you may incur as a result of data loss or manipulation.

Data that you enter in online forms may be passed on to commissioned third parties for order processing purposes and may be viewed and possibly 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 includes:

Browser type and browser version.
Operating system used.
Referrer URL.
Hostname of the accessing computer.
Time of server request.

This data cannot be linked to specific individuals. This data will not be combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Third-party services

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 from the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the American-European and American-Swiss Privacy Shield frameworks.

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

Privacy policy for contact form

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe link" in the newsletter.

Privacy policy for the comment function on this website

For the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information about the time of creation of the comment, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, your chosen username will be stored.

Storage of the IP address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not review comments on our site before publication, we need this data to take action against the author in case of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Services subject to a fee

To provide paid services, we request additional data from you, such as payment information, in order to process your order or request. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Using Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into, or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google to exercise this right. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your related rights and settings options to protect your privacy, can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Ads will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie 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. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. These 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 necessary placement of a cookie – for example via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic placement of cookies or by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain «googleleadservices.com».

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies if you wish to prevent the recording of measurement data. If you have deleted all your browser cookies, you will need to set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google Remarketing

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

According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google's remarketing function, you can deactivate it by adjusting the settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Using Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, "Google"). This service is used to distinguish between human input and automated, machine processing. The query involves sending your IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further processed there. However, 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 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 this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission, the "Privacy Shield". Google participates in the Privacy Shield framework and has committed to its requirements. By submitting this form, you consent to the processing of your data. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and its privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

Privacy policy for Google Analytics

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

The statistics we gather allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can deactivate cross-device analysis of your usage in your account settings under "My Data," "Personal Data."

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, thus preventing them from being linked to a specific individual. Therefore, any personal data collected about you will be immediately anonymized and the personal data promptly deleted.

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 other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics.

Furthermore, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This will save an opt-out cookie on your 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. This means that you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing 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, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google AdSense allows us to display advertisements on this website that are relevant to our topic.

Google AdSense uses cookies to show users relevant ads, improve campaign performance reports, and prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google tracks which ads are displayed in which browser, thus preventing them from being shown repeatedly. Furthermore, Google AdSense can use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. This occurs, 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. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, Google may still be able to obtain and store your IP address.

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

by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly, in particular by blocking third-party cookies, which will prevent you from receiving advertisements from third-party providers;
by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by configuring 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;
by deactivating interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
You can permanently disable this in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browser via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all the features of this service.
The legal basis for processing your data is a balancing of interests, according to which there are no overriding legitimate interests on your part that would preclude the processing of your personal data as described above (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR). Further information about Google Ads from Google can be found at https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/, and about data protection at Google in general at 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 is a solution that allows us to manage website tags via a single interface, enabling us to integrate services such as Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our website.

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, within the framework of order processes in our online shop, in order to enable them to select and order the chosen products and services, as well as to make payment and delivery or execution of these.

The data processed includes master data (inventory data), communication data, contract data, and payment data. The individuals affected by this processing include our customers, prospective customers, and other business partners. Processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the framework of operating an online shop, including invoicing, delivery, and customer service. We use session cookies, for example, to store the contents of the shopping cart, and persistent cookies, for example, to store the login status.

The processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(b) (performance of a contract) and (c) (compliance with legal requirements) of the GDPR. The information marked as required is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of the contract. We only disclose your data to third parties for the purposes of delivery, payment, or as permitted by law. Data is only processed in third countries if this is necessary for the performance of the contract (e.g., at the customer's request for delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account, which allows them to view their orders. During registration, users are informed of the required mandatory information. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines such as Google. If users terminate their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, unless its retention is necessary for commercial or tax law reasons in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Information in the customer account remains until its deletion, with subsequent archiving in the event of a legal obligation. It is the users' responsibility to back up their data before the end of the contract if they have terminated their account.

As part of the registration and subsequent login processes, as well as the use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of each user action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not shared with third parties, unless it is necessary for the enforcement of our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Data is deleted after the expiry of statutory warranty periods and similar obligations; the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed periodically. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiry.

Data subjects include our customers, prospective customers, and their customers, users, website visitors, or employees, as well as third parties.
