Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and protection against 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 statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as the pages accessed or the names of the files accessed, the date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular your name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Processing of personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. A data subject is an individual whose personal data is being processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, collection, erasure, saving, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as and to the extent that the EU GDPR applies:
- lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
- lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
- lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable EU law or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
- lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
- lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests are, 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 as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the event of longer storage obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we will restrict processing accordingly.
Privacy policy for cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that enable specific information relating to the user to be stored on the user’s device while they are using the website. Cookies enable us to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the website, analyse user behaviour and make our website more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored after the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not wish this to happen, you should set your Internet browser to refuse cookies.
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this online offer.
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 the enquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Privacy policy for server log files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.
Third-party services
This website may use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.
These services provided by the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place within this framework solely through the use of our website.
Google has committed itself to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the American-European and American-Swiss Privacy Shield.

We use donation technology from RaiseNow AG, Hardturmstr. 101, 8005 Zurich, whose privacy policy can be viewed here: https://www.raisenow.com/ch-de/datenschutz. The personal and payment-related data collected, as well as communication preferences, are collected by RaiseNow on the basis of our interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 (3) sentence 1 GDPR. RaiseNow AG, based in Switzerland, and RaiseNow GmbH, based in Germany, comply with all requirements of the European General Data Protection Regulation. Switzerland is considered a safe third country to which the European Commission has confirmed an adequate level of data protection by means of an adequacy decision. This includes, for example, the security of data processing, which is regularly audited and certified by TÜV SÜD on the basis of the PCI-DSS SAQ D Level 2 security standard (https://developer.raisenow.com/docs/pci-dss/Certificate-of-Validation_en.pdf).

Privacy policy for the use of third-party services
Use of Google Web Fonts
This website uses web fonts provided by Google to ensure consistent font display. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of users. With regard to the processing of users’ personal data, please refer to the following information on Google services. Terms of use: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
This website uses functions provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When you visit our pages with Facebook plug-ins, a connection is established between your browser and the Facebook servers. Data is already transferred to Facebook during this process. If you have a Facebook account, this data can be linked to it. If you do not want this data to be associated with your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our site. Interactions, in particular the use of a comment function or clicking on a ‘Like’ or ‘Share’ button, are also passed on to Facebook. You can find out more at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy.
Our website includes features from the Instagram service. These features are provided by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA.

Note regarding data transfers to the USA (United States of America)
For the sake of completeness, we would like to point out that users based in Switzerland are subject to surveillance measures by US authorities, which generally allow the storage of all personal data from Switzerland that has been transferred to the USA.
This is done without differentiation, restriction or exception based on the objectives pursued and without an objective criterion that would allow access by US authorities to the data and its subsequent use to be limited to specific, strictly limited purposes that justify the interference associated with access to and use of this data. We also point out that in the USA, data subjects from Switzerland have no legal remedies that would allow them to obtain access to the data concerning them and to have it corrected or deleted, nor is there any effective judicial remedy against the general access rights of US authorities. We expressly inform the data subjects of this legal and factual situation so that they can make an informed decision about consenting to the use of their data.
We would like to point out to users residing in an EU member state that, from the perspective of the European Union, the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection.
