To ensure the protection of all users, we are committed to complying with these principles and the relevant data protection legislation, in particular the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (available here). In the event that personal data of persons residing in the European Union are processed, the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council ("GDPR", available here) may apply.

The term “personal data” is equivalent to the term “personal data”.

The user has the option of subscribing to a newsletter. To do this, the user registers for the newsletter with their email address. After registering, the user receives an email with a link to confirm registration. If the registration is not confirmed, the user will not receive a newsletter.

Cookies
General
To manage advertising and to determine the popularity of individual subject areas, so-called “cookies” are used on our website. These are text files that are stored on the user's system for the purpose of analyzing the use of the products (usage behavior, reach measurement, product optimization and delivery of advertising formats tailored to the target group). This means that users of services that require registration do not have to register each time they visit, and the user can also be offered individualized services and products in this way. These text files do not contain any personal data.
The use of cookies can be prevented through the appropriate browser settings. However, this may affect the functionality of the products under certain circumstances. Access to areas requiring registration and the use of certain services is only possible with cookies turned on. The provider assumes no liability for the careless and/or unlawful use of the data by third parties and recommends consulting the data protection regulations of the relevant websites.
For statistical purposes and to optimize the products, the provider can use the analysis services of Google Analytics, Matomo (Pikwik) and/or Mouseflow. In principle, no personal data is collected for this purpose. Should this still be necessary, only the amount of data that is minimally necessary to fulfill the order will be transmitted. The relevant information about these services can be found below.
Google Analytics
We use the functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics on our website. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on the user's computer and enable the user's use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The user can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to its use of the website (including the IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and installed: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .
If the user deletes cookies or uses a different browser, this means that the opt-out cookies are also deleted or are not set. The opt-out must be reactivated when you visit our website again.
Collaboration with third parties
Personal data will generally not be passed on to third parties. Exceptions to this include the consent of the user, a legal obligation and as part of a collaboration with a partner who supports us in providing our services.
The hosting provider for our website is JKweb GmbH in Basel. We also use Google services by embedding a “Google Maps” map with our location into our website. We also include so-called Twitter feeds from the “Twitter” service on our website. Further information about the “Google Analytics” services used and the social media plugins used can be found under the corresponding titles of this data protection declaration.
If we are supported by a partner in data processing, this partner is obliged to act in compliance with the relevant legal provisions, including the applicable data protection regulations, and in accordance with this data protection declaration. Partners may neither process this personal data for their own purposes nor pass it on to third parties.
We reserve the right to process and disclose any information and personal data to appropriate civil and law enforcement authorities to comply with any applicable law, regulation, legal process or criminal investigation.
Plug-ins from social media services
Plug-ins from third-party social media services such as Twitter and LinkedIn are integrated into our website.
If the user has a user account with these third parties, it may also be possible for these third parties to measure and evaluate the use of the provider's products.
