Data processing includes any manipulation with personal data, regardless of the means and procedures employed, especially the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in compliance with the Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process personal data – insofar as the European DPA is applicable – in accordance with the following legal bases pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with permission of the data subject
lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject as well as for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
Lit. c) Processing of personal data for the performance of a legal obligation, to which we are subject, in compliance with the applicable laws of the EU or with the applicable laws of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.
Lit. d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
Lit. f) Processing of personal data in order to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject are not prejudiced. Legitimate interests are particularly our commercial interest in being able to make our website available, the security of information, the application of our legal rights and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data as long as is necessary for the purpose(s) pursued. If we have to store personal data on a long-term basis due to legal and other obligations, we restrict the processing accordingly.

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 that you send to us as web administrator.

Although in many cases the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, it is not the case for the sender’s and the recipient’s names. Even if the sender and the recipient are living in the same country, data are often transmitted over such networks and, without any checks, also via third countries, also via countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We are not responsible for the security of your data during their transfer via the internet and we assume no responsibility for direct or indirect losses. We ask you to use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or reasonable for security reasons.
