With this statement, we fulfill our statutory obligation to inform you about the collection, storage, purpose, and use of data, as well as about our identity. This privacy policy also covers the initial registration and the type of data collected. Our complete contact details are provided at the end of this privacy policy.
In compliance with Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution, the data protection provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA), and, for our users within the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we assure every individual their right to privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. We adhere strictly to these laws, ensuring personal data is kept confidential and not sold or passed to third parties without explicit consent.
We assume no liability for external links to third-party content, despite careful content control, as we do not initiate, select, or modify the transmitted information.
Protecting your personal data during its collection, processing, and use during your visit to our website is a top priority, performed within the legal regulations framework. Generally, our website can be used without providing personal data. However, if personal data are collected (e.g., name, address, or email addresses), it is done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. Please be aware that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities.
1. COLLECTION, STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA, AND THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THEIR USE

- IP address of the requesting computer, along with device ID or individual device identifier and device type,
- Name of the accessed file, transferred data volume, date and time of access,
- Notification of successful retrieval,

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed. We only share your personal data with third parties when you have given express consent, for compliance with legal obligations, or when it is legally permissible and necessary for the operation of our website, for example if you subscribe to our Newsletter (US-based Mailchimp) or submit a Statement of Interest Form (US-based Mailchimp & Pipedrive).
3. COOKIES
Our website uses cookies to enhance user-friendliness, for statistical purposes, and to optimize our offer. You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to be alerted before a cookie is stored. Fully disabling cookies may limit your use of our website's features.
4. ANALYSIS TOOLS AND TRACKING
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that the user's IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, which means that no personal connection can be made. Google is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
If you have given your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a GDPR, processing on this website will take place for the purpose of website analysis.
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 related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data. The terms of use of Google Analytics and information on data protection can be accessed via the following links: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies /.

Google Analytics Remarketing/DoubleClick
Our website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you on one device (e.g. cell phone) depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.
The information collected about users may be transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA. Google is certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU. Further information and the data protection regulations can be found in Google's data protection declaration at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/
5. SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS
We use social media plug-ins from Facebook, Twitter (now X), and Instagram to increase our company's visibility, based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. The integration of these plug-ins occurs via a two-click method to best protect our website visitors.
