3. General Principles
3.1 What data do we collect from you and from whom do we receive this data?
Primarily, we process personal data that you transmit to us or that we collect when operating our website. We may also receive personal data about you from third parties. These can include the following categories:
- Personal details (name, address, birth dates, etc.)
- Contact data (mobile number, email address, etc.)
- Financial data (e.g., account details)
- Online identifiers (e.g., cookie identifiers, IP addresses)
- Location and traffic data
- Audio and video recordings
- Particularly sensitive data (e.g., biometric data or health information)
3.2 Under what conditions do we process your data?
We treat your data confidentially and according to the purposes stated in this privacy policy. We ensure transparent and proportionate processing.
If we are exceptionally unable to adhere to these principles, the data processing can still be lawful because there is a justification. This justification could include:
- Your consent
- The execution of a contract or pre-contractual measures
- Our legitimate interests, provided your interests do not outweigh them
3.3 How can you withdraw your consent?
If you have given us consent to process your personal data for certain purposes, we process your data within the scope of this consent unless we have another legal basis.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address provided in the imprint. Data processing that has already taken place is not affected.
3.4 In which cases can we share your data with third parties?
a. Principle
We may need to rely on third-party services or affiliated companies to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients include:
- Accounting, fiduciary and auditing firms
- Consulting firms (legal advice, taxes, etc.)
- IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.)
- Payment service providers
- Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services
We ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.
We may also be required to disclose your personal data to authorities.
b. Visiting our social media channels
Our website may contain links to our social media channels. These are clearly recognizable (typically through corresponding symbols). Clicking on these symbols will redirect you to our social media channels.
In this case, the social media providers will know that you accessed their platform from our website. The social media providers can use the collected data for their own purposes. We note that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the operators.
c. Transfer abroad
Your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of the processing of orders. These companies are bound to the same level of data protection as we are. Transfers can occur worldwide.
If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we conduct a prior risk assessment and ensure contractually that the same protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (e.g., through the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally required measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses at the following link: EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses.
3.5 How long do we store your data?
We store personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected.
Data collected during your visit to our website is stored for twelve months. An exception applies to analysis and tracking data, which can be stored longer.
We store contract data longer, as we are required to do so by legal regulations. We must keep business communication, concluded contracts, and booking records for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data to provide services, it will be locked and used only for accounting and tax purposes.
3.6 How do we protect your data?
We store your data securely and take all reasonable measures to protect it from loss, access, misuse, or alteration.
Our contractors and employees with access to your data are obligated to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it may be necessary to forward your inquiries to affiliated companies. In such cases, your data will be treated confidentially.
Within our website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol with the highest encryption level supported by your browser.
3.7 What rights do you have?
a. Right to information
You can request information about the data we hold about you at any time. Please send your request for information together with proof of identity to
You also have the right to receive your data in a common file format if we process your data automatically, and if:
- You have given your consent for the processing of this data; or

We may restrict or refuse the release of information or data if it conflicts with our legal obligations, legitimate own or public interests, or the interests of a third party.
Processing your request is subject to the legal processing period of 30 days. We may extend this period due to high request volume, legal or technical reasons, or because we need more information from you. You will be informed in a timely manner, at least in text form, about the extension of the period.
b. Deletion and correction
You can request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject the request if legal regulations require us to retain the data for a longer or unchanged period or if an authorization basis opposes your request.
Please note that the deletion of your data may mean that we can no longer provide the services you have contracted or that the use of our website is no longer possible.
c. Objection
You have the right to object to data processing that we carry out based on legitimate interests or in the public interest at any time. The processing will be terminated unless we have a legitimate interest to continue processing the data.
d. Right to lodge a complaint
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights, you can lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. For Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (www.edoeb.admin.ch).

The data is only stored for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Accordingly, the data is deleted after the end of each session. The storage of logfiles is essential for the operation of the website, so you have no option to object.
4.2 Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense, a service for embedding advertisements from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"), on our website.
Google AdSense uses cookies to analyze the use of the website by visitors. Additionally, Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this offer.
The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including the IP address of users) and the delivery of advertising formats are transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. This information may be passed on by Google to contractual partners of Google. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of our website.
Furthermore, you can disable interest-based ads on Google as well as interest-based Google ads on the web (within the Google Display Network) in your browser by activating the "Off" button at https://www.google.com/settings/ads or by making the deactivation at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

4.3 Google Ads
We use Google Ads, an online advertising service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"), on our website. Google Ads enables us to place advertisements in Google search results and in the Google advertising network.
4.4 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and within this framework, we use conversion tracking (visitor action evaluation). Google Ads Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set on your end device. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain personal data, and therefore do not serve the purpose of personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page.
The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can personally identify users.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
Furthermore, you can deactivate personalized advertising for you in the Google settings for ads. Instructions can be found at https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764.
4.5 Google Publisher Tag
We use the Google Publisher Tag on our website, a service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The Google Publisher Tag allows us to efficiently manage and optimize advertising on our website.
By integrating the Google Publisher Tag, cookies and similar technologies are stored on your end device, and information about your use of our website, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google. Google may use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet use to us.
If you do not want to receive targeted advertising, you can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. Please note, however, that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website.
4.6 MailChimp
We use MailChimp, a service provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA, for sending newsletters and email notifications.
If you sign up for our newsletter, the data you provide and your email address will be transmitted to, stored, and processed by MailChimp. This allows us to send you regular updates, offers, and information.
By signing up for the newsletter, your IP address and the date of registration will be stored. This storage serves solely as proof in case a third party misuses an email address and signs up for the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorized person.
MailChimp offers extensive analysis options on how the sent newsletters are opened and used. These analyses are group-related and are not used by us for individual evaluations.
The data stored at MailChimp will be deleted as soon as you unsubscribe from our newsletter. This does not affect data stored for other purposes.
MailChimp has its own privacy policies and practices, which may differ from those of our website. For more information about privacy at MailChimp, please visit https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/. If you have any questions about the data collected by MailChimp or wish to exercise your rights regarding this data, you should contact The Rocket Science Group, LLC directly.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

4.8 Google Tag Manager
To manage website tags via an interface, we use Google Tag Manager, a service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not process any personal data. The service ensures that other tags are triggered, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager doesn't access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
By using the Google Tag Manager, scripts (so-called tags) can be automatically activated on our website and data from your browser can be transmitted to Google. This information may include information about your IP address, the browser you use, the subpages of our website you visit, and other interactions during your visit to the website.

To provide the fonts, Adobe Fonts may use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information such as the visitor's IP address, browser type and version, and other information about the visit to the Site.
4.10 Google Fonts API
On our website, we use the Google Fonts API, a service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") to include fonts. By integrating these fonts, your browser will connect to Google's servers when you visit our website in order to download the fonts and display them correctly.
Through this connection, data, in particular your IP address and information about the browser you use, can be transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers. These servers can be located in the United States or other countries.
If you want to prevent the transmission of data as part of the Google Fonts API, you can fonts.googleapis.com block access to the domain in your browser settings. Please note that if you do this, our website may not display correctly.
4.11 Google Charts
On our website we use Google Charts, a service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Google Charts allows us to embed interactive charts and graphs directly into the website to visually represent data.
When using Google Charts, information about the use of the web graphics (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored on Google servers. These servers can be located in the United States or other countries. Google will use the information collected through Charts to track and evaluate your use of the web graphics in connection with other Google services.
If you want to prevent data transfer to Google as part of your use of Google Charts, you can do so by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

Google Maps enables us to integrate interactive maps directly into the website and allows you to use the map function comfortably, for example for location search or route planning.
By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, other data, in particular your IP address, will be transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers. These servers can be located in the United States or other countries. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account.
Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing needs-based advertising.
You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, which you must contact Google to do so.
4.13 YouTube
Videos from YouTube, a platform of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you view the videos or click on the play button, data, including your IP address and information about the browser you use, is transmitted to Google servers and stored there.

4.15 Google reCaptcha
To protect against unwanted inquiries via the Internet form on our website, we use the reCAPTCHA service of the company Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. As part of the query, information such as your IP address or how you behave when filling out the form may be transmitted to Google.
For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and processed there. By using reCAPTCHA, you agree that the recognition you provide will be incorporated into the digitization of old works. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service.
