Privacy statement

Responsible for content: Personal data you submit on this website, such as your name, e-mail address or the content of an enquiry, is used only for the purpose you submitted it for, kept securely and not passed on without your consent; enquiries are kept for six months in case of follow-up questions. When you visit a page, the web server also records technical data: browser and operating system, referring page, IP address and time of access. This is needed to deliver the pages and to keep the site secure (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); the records are not linked to you as a person and are not evaluated further unless the site is misused.
Data protection: We pass personal information about you to various external companies who are responsible for technical maintenance or who work on our behalf and assist us in conducting business transactions. All of these companies and agents are required to comply with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies: Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device using the browser. They do no harm. We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. If you do not want this, you can set up your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow this only in individual cases. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.
Privacy Policy for the use of Google Analytics: This site uses Google Analytics 4. The Google tag (gtag.js) is loaded from Google only after you accept the Analytics category in the cookie banner; without that consent no request is made. The tag then records the pages you open, the time, the referring page, your browser and operating system and an approximate location; Google Analytics 4 uses your IP address to derive that location but does not store it. Cookies are set to recognise your browser on later visits. Provider for users in the EEA is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Legal basis is your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; you can withdraw it at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR); where that does not apply, standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c)) are used. Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Privacy Policy for the use of Google Maps: Where a page of this site contains a Google Maps embed, the map is loaded from Google only after you accept the External media category in the cookie banner or click the Load content button on the placeholder. Until then nothing is requested from Google. Once loaded, the map transmits your IP address, browser and operating system, the time, the page you are on and the map section displayed; Google may set cookies. Provider for users in the EEA is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Legal basis is your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; you can withdraw it at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer.

Privacy Policy for the use of LinkedIn: The LinkedIn icon on our pages is a link stored on this site; it transmits nothing to LinkedIn until you click it. Where a LinkedIn post or button is embedded on a page, it is loaded only after you accept the External media category in the cookie banner or click the Load content button on the placeholder. The embed then transmits your IP address, browser and operating system data, the time and the page you are on, and it may set cookies; if you are logged in to LinkedIn, the visit can be linked to your account.

Privacy Policy for the use of MapTiler: The maps on this website are rendered with map tiles supplied by MapTiler, a service of MapTiler AG, Zugerstrasse 22, 6314 Unterägeri, Switzerland. A map appears only after you accept the External media category in the cookie banner or click the Load content button on the placeholder; until then nothing is requested from MapTiler. The map tiles are then loaded from api.maptiler.com while the page is being displayed. For this your IP address is transmitted to a MapTiler server, together with the technical data every request carries (browser and operating system used, time of the request) and the map section you are looking at. Legal basis is your consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; you can withdraw it at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer. For Switzerland the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR).

Recorded are the pages you open, the time, the referring page, your browser and operating system and your IP address, which is shortened by at least two bytes before it is stored.
