- 1. Data Protection
We, the operators of this site, place great importance on protecting your personal data. We collect and use your personal data exclusively within the framework of Swiss data protection laws, particularly the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). All personal data is treated confidentially and in accordance with legal provisions and this data protection declaration.
Using our website is generally possible without providing personal data. When personal data (e.g., name, address, email address) is collected on our site, it is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will never be transmitted to third parties without your explicit consent, unless it is necessary for the performance of a contract or to fulfill a legal obligation.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., during email communication) can involve risks. Although we implement appropriate security measures, absolute protection against unauthorized access by third parties is not guaranteed.
This data protection declaration informs you about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection, processing, and use of personal data.
