Data protection

Based on article 13 of the Swiss Constitution and the data protection regulations of the federal government (Data Protection Act), everyone has the right to protection of privacy and to protection against misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions. Personal data are treated in strict confidence and are neither sold nor passed on to third parties.

The operator of these pages takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and with this data protection declaration.

If personal data are collected on our pages (e.g. name, postal address or E-mail address), this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. These data are not passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would point out that the data transfer in the Internet (e.g. communication via E-mail) can have security loopholes. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

If you get in touch with the website operator using the contact options offered, your details are stored so that they can be referred to when processing of and replying to your query. These data are not passed on to third parties without your consent.
