General Notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection from misuse of their personal data. The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

In Zusammenarbeit mit unseren Hosting-Providern bemühen wir uns, die Datenbanken so gut wie möglich vor fremden Zugriffen, Verlusten, Missbrauch oder vor Fälschung zu schützen.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or file names, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without being directly related to your person. Personal data, such as name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Without your consent, no data will be shared with third parties.

Processing of Personal Data

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is being processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the methods and procedures applied, particularly the storage, disclosure, collection, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Additionally, we process – to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable – personal data based on the following legal grounds in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:

lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject, as well as to carry out 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 applicable law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms, rights, and interests of the data subject outweigh these interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interests, the ability to provide our website, information security, enforcement of legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for as long as necessary for the respective purpose(s). In the case of longer retention periods due to legal and other obligations we are subject to, we restrict processing accordingly.

Privacy Policy for Cookies.

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that allow specific, user-related information to be stored on the user’s device while they are using the website. Cookies enable us, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, analyze browsing behaviors, and make our services more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored after a browser session ends and can be retrieved on a subsequent visit. If you do not wish this, you should configure your internet browser to reject cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be made through a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Additionally, cookies can be disabled in the settings of your browser. Please note that in this case, not all features of this online service may be available.

Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit 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. An unencrypted connection can be identified by the “http://” in the browser’s address bar and the absence of a padlock symbol in your browser bar. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may, in some cases, be transmitted via third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of messages or documents transmitted over such open networks or third-party networks.

When you provide personal information over an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or potentially accessed by third parties, who could then collect and use the data without your consent. While individual data packets are often transmitted encrypted, the names of the sender and receiver are not. Even if the sender and receiver are in the same country, data transmission through such networks often occurs, without controls, across third countries—meaning countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of residence. We do not take responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the internet and disclaim any liability for direct or indirect losses. We recommend using alternative communication methods if you consider it necessary or reasonable for security reasons.

Despite extensive technical and organizational security measures, data may still be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorized parties. We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures, as far as possible, to prevent this within our system. However, your computer is outside the security area under our control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security measures and to take appropriate actions. As the website operator, we are not liable for any damage that may result from data loss or manipulation.

Data provided by you in online forms may be passed on to third parties for order processing and may be accessed 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 transmits to us automatically. These are:

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

This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. A combination of this data with other data sources will not be made. We reserve the right to review this data later 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 from the American Google LLC use cookies, 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 in this context.

Google is committed to ensuring an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the US-EU and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

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

Privacy Policy for Contact Form

When you send inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the request form, including the contact details you entered, will be stored for processing the request and for follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

Privacy Policy for Newsletter Data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we need your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No additional data will be collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

You can withdraw your consent for the storage of the data, email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the “unsubscribe link” in the newsletter.

Privacy Policy for Comment Function on This Website

For the comment function on this website, along with your comment, we also store information about the time the comment was made, your email address, and, if you do not post anonymously, the username you have chosen.

Storage of IP Address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not review comments before publishing them, we need this data in order to take action against the author in the event of legal violations, such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribe to Comments

As a user of the website, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time using a link in the informational emails.

Right to Deletion (Right to Be Forgotten)

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request that the data controller of this website immediately delete personal data concerning them, if one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:

The personal data was collected for purposes that are no longer necessary, or was otherwise processed for purposes that are no longer needed.
The affected person withdraws their consent on which the processing was based, and there is no other legal basis for processing.

The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the case of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.

Paid Services

For the provision of paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to process your order or request. We store this data in our systems until the legal retention periods have expired.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and provides you with the convenient use of the map feature. By visiting the website, Google is informed that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data is directly linked to your account. If you do not wish the association with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button.
Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website to user needs. Such evaluations are especially carried out (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing targeted advertising and informing 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, and to exercise this right, you need to contact Google directly. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, as well as information on your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, can be found at: Google Privacy Policy.

Google Ads

Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you arrived at our website through a Google ad, a cookie is placed on your device by Google Ads. This conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, both we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across websites of different Ads customers.
The information collected through the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are given the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, no information is provided that allows the identification of individual users.

Opting Out of Tracking
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the required setting of a cookie – for example, by adjusting your browser settings to generally disable the automatic setting of cookies or by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com.”

Please note that you should not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish to record tracking data. If you delete all cookies in your browser, you will need to set the relevant opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing feature of Google Inc. This function serves to present interest-based ads to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A “cookie” is stored in the visitor’s browser, allowing the visitor to be recognized when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with ads related to content they have previously viewed on websites using Google’s remarketing function.

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

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, “Google”). The query is intended to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or through automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, additional data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your input will be sent to Google and further used there. However, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 data from Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision, the “Privacy Shield.” Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has committed to its provisions. By using the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The 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 legality of the processing carried out based on the consent before the withdrawal.

Further Information on Google reCAPTCHA and the associated Privacy Policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

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

Through 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 cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out using a User ID. If you have a Google account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under “My Data,” “Personal Data.”

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f 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 on this website has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This ensures that IP addresses are truncated before further processing, making it impossible to personally identify users. In the event that the data collected about you can be linked to a person, this will immediately be excluded, and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 activities, and to provide further services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases where 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 a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all the features of this website. Additionally, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Analytics Opt-out.

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Google Analytics Deactivate. This will save an opt-out cookie on your device, preventing 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, meaning you will need to set the opt-out cookies again if you want to continue preventing this form of data collection. Opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device, so they must be activated separately for each browser, computer, or device.

Privacy Policy for Google AdSense

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

Google AdSense uses cookies to display relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. Through a cookie ID, Google tracks which ads are shown in which browser and can prevent them from being shown multiple times. Additionally, Google AdSense can use cookie IDs to track so-called conversions related to ad requests. For example, this occurs when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase. 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 Google’s server. By embedding Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have visited the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will discover and store your IP address.

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

By adjusting your browser settings, specifically suppressing third-party cookies, you will prevent receiving ads from third-party providers.
By disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” at https://adssettings.google.com, noting that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.
By disabling interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices, noting that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.
By permanently disabling them in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all features of this service.
The legal basis for processing your data is a legitimate interest, where no overriding counter-interests from you prevent the above-described processing of your personal data (Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO). For further information on Google Ads, please visit https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/ as well as Google’s general privacy policy: 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 that allows us to manage website tags through an interface, enabling us to integrate services such as 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. For the processing of personal data, please refer to the following information about Google services. Usage policy: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.”

Your personal data may also be transferred to HubSpot’s servers in the United States (USA). The appropriate level of protection is ensured by HubSpot, Inc.’s participation in the EU-US Privacy Shield Agreement and its certification for compliance.

We use HubSpot to provide you with relevant information and offers. Therefore, we have a legitimate interest in processing your personal data under Art. 6 (1) (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal basis for the processing of your personal data by us in connection with the use of HubSpot is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We store your personal data within HubSpot as long as necessary to provide you with relevant information and offers.

Providing the personal data collected through HubSpot is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. If you do not provide this data, we will not be able to offer you tailored information and offers.”

Further information on data usage by HubSpot can be found in HubSpot’s privacy policy at: https://legal.hubspot.com/de/privacy-policy.

Mastercard (Link)
American Express (Link)
Paypal (Link)
Bexio AG (Link)
Payrexx AG (Link)
Apple Pay (Link)

Order Processing in the Online Shop with Customer Account

Data Processing for Customer Orders
We process our customers’ data in accordance with the data protection laws of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the context of the ordering process in our online shop to enable the selection and ordering of chosen products and services, as well as their payment, delivery, or execution.

The processed data includes master data (inventory data), communication data, contractual data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, prospects, and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services in the operation of an online shop, billing, delivery, and customer service. We use session cookies, for example, to store the shopping cart contents and permanent cookies, for example, to store the login status.

The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (performance of the ordering process) and c (legally required archiving) of the GDPR. The required information marked as necessary is needed for the establishment and fulfillment of the contract. We disclose the data to third parties only in the context of delivery, payment, or within the legal allowances and obligations. Data is processed in third countries only when necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (e.g., at the customer’s request during delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account, where they can view their orders, for example. During registration, the required mandatory information is provided to users. The user accounts are not publicly accessible and cannot be indexed by search engines, such as Google. If users cancel their user account, their data related to the user account will be deleted, subject to the retention being necessary for commercial or tax law reasons according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Information in the customer account remains until its deletion and subsequent archiving in case of a legal obligation. It is the responsibility of users to back up their data before cancellation prior to the end of the contract.

As part of the registration, re-login, and use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The 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 according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Deletion of Data
The deletion takes place after the expiration of statutory warranty and similar obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular intervals. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, the deletion occurs after the expiration of such obligations.

Agency Services

We process our customers’ data in accordance with the data protection laws of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as part of our contractual services.

The individuals affected include our customers, prospects, as well as their customers, users, website visitors, employees, or third parties. The purpose of the processing is to provide contractual services, billing, and customer service. The legal bases for the processing are derived from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contractual services), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of contractual services and point out the necessity of providing this information. Disclosure to external parties only occurs when necessary within the scope of an order. When processing data provided to us in the context of an order, we act according to the instructions of the clients as well as the legal requirements for order processing according to Art. 28 GDPR and process the data only for the contractually agreed purposes.

We delete the data after the expiration of statutory warranty and similar obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed at irregular intervals.
