The protection of your personal data is an important concern for us. In this privacy policy, we inform you about how we collect and process personal data when you visit our website or use our services.
This privacy policy is based on the Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG) and – where applicable – the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Together with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as best as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as the pages accessed, file names, date, and time of access are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without these data being directly linked to you as a person.
