General Note

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and protection against the 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 legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In collaboration with our hosting providers, we strive to protect databases from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or forgery to the best of our ability.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. 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 be visited without registration. Data such as pages visited or names of the retrieved file, date, and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without directly relating these data to your person. Personal data, especially name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Without your consent, data will not be disclosed to 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 about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and methods used, especially storing, disclosing, acquiring, deleting, saving, altering, destroying, and using personal data.

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

  • a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
  • b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
  • c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or the law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
  • d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
  • f) Processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. 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 or purposes. In the case of longer retention obligations due to legal and 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 using the website. Cookies enable the determination of usage frequency and the number of users on the pages, the analysis of user behavior, and the improvement of our offering to be more user-friendly. Cookies are stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be accessed again when the user revisits the site. If you do not wish for this to happen, you should adjust your internet browser settings to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes, especially in the case of tracking, can be declared on the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Additionally, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in such a case, not all functions of this online offering may be usable.

Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption

For security and the protection of 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 of the browser's address line from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Privacy Policy for Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

Privacy Policy for Newsletter Data

If you want to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we need an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

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

We use the services of Klaviyo, Inc ("Klaviyo") to analyze user behavior in our online shop for our own advertising and market research purposes.

Storage of IP Address

Our comment section stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not pre-moderate comments on our site, we need this data to take action against the author in case of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscription to Comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registration. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time through a link in the info emails.

Paid Services

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

Google Ads

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have arrived at our website through an ad placed by Google, a cookie will be set on your computer by Google Ads. 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 that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google 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 information that personally identifies users.

If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can reject the setting of a cookie required for this purpose – for example, by configuring your browser settings to generally disable 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 delete all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Usage of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This function aims to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the visitor's browser, allowing the recognition of the visitor when they access websites belonging to Google's advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with advertisements related to content they previously viewed on websites using Google's remarketing function.

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

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data processing controller for 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 collectively referred to as "Google."

The obtained statistics help us 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 performed via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can disable 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) lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that Google Analytics on this website has been extended with the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are shortened before further processing, eliminating any possibility of personal identification. If there is a personal reference in the data collected about you, it will be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be deleted promptly.

In exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. For exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the United States, Google has subjected itself 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 usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring 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. 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 Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Furthermore, you can prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Google Analytics Opt-out. This will place an opt-out cookie on your hard drive, 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 them again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set for each browser and device individually and must be activated separately for each browser, device, or other end device.

Privacy Policy for Google Ads

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Ads by Google ("Google Ads"). Google Ads uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, Google Ads can use cookie IDs to record conversions related to ad requests. This occurs when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser's website and make a purchase. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's 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 are not logged in, there is the possibility that Google will learn and store your IP address.

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

  • By adjusting your browser software accordingly, especially suppressing third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving ads from third parties; By deactivating cookies for conversion tracking
  • By setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com," https://adssettings.google.com. Note that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
  • By deactivating interest-based ads from providers participating in the self-regulation campaign "About Ads" via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices. Note that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
  • By permanently deactivating it in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome at 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 functions of this offer to their full extent.

The legal basis for processing your data is a balancing of interests, whereby the processing of your personal data as described above does not override your predominant interests (Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR). For more information about Google Ads by Google, visit https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/, and for general privacy at Google: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

The information is required to perform the transactions. However, the data entered will only be processed and stored by the payment service providers.

Active Campaign has a certification under the "EU-US Privacy Shield." The "Privacy Shield" is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States that aims to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the United States.

With the help of Active Campaign, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Active Campaign, a file contained in the email (a so-called web beacon) connects to Active Campaign's servers in the USA. This can determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links may have been clicked. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It serves solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers and Active Campaign's servers after unsubscribing from the newsletter. Data that has been stored for other purposes with us (e.g., email addresses for the members' area) remains unaffected by this.
