Privacy Policy
1. Data Protection
We, the operators of this website, place great importance on protecting your personal data. We collect and use your personal data exclusively in accordance with Swiss data protection laws, including the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). All personal data is treated confidentially and in compliance with legal provisions and this privacy policy.
Using our website is generally possible without providing personal data. When personal data (such as name, address, email address) is collected on our site, it is done on a voluntary basis whenever possible. This data will never be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent unless it is necessary for contract fulfillment or to comply with a legal obligation.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., via email communication) can carry risks. Although we implement appropriate security measures, absolute protection against unauthorized access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.
This privacy policy informs you about the type, scope, and purpose of collecting, processing, and using personal data.

5. Newsletter
To keep you informed about our activities, we offer a newsletter. Signing up for the newsletter follows a double opt-in procedure, where you confirm your consent via a link sent by email.
The content of the newsletter may include information about our services, company news, as well as promotional offers. The data collected during registration, including your email address and other personal information, is used solely for sending the newsletter. This data is stored until you revoke your consent.
You can unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe link in each newsletter. After unsubscribing, your data will be deleted unless its retention is required by legal obligations.

7. Comments and Contributions
When you post a comment or contribution on our site, your IP address is recorded. This measure is in place to ensure security and protect against potential abuse. In the event of a violation of the law, this information may be used to identify the author of the violation.
8. Use of Google Maps
This site uses Google Maps to display geographical maps. The use of Google Maps involves transmitting data, including your IP address, to Google's servers located in the United States. Please note that the use of Google Maps is subject to Google's terms of use and privacy policy.
If you wish to avoid the transfer of your data to Google, you can disable JavaScript in your browser. However, this action will limit the functionality of the maps on our site.
9. Use of Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help the website analyze user behavior on the site.
9.1 IP Anonymization
We have enabled IP anonymization. This means that Google truncates your IP address within the European Union or other contracting states of the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to Internet usage.
9.2 Browser Plugin
You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser accordingly. However, this may limit some functionalities of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookies related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en..
10. Your Rights
In accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), you have the right to request free information about the personal data we hold about you, as well as to request its correction or deletion if it is no longer necessary or if its processing is illegal. Requests can be submitted via the contact details provided in our legal notice. For security reasons, requests will only be processed if accompanied by proof of identity.
