1. Data protection
We, the operators of this website, attach great importance to protecting your personal data. We collect and use your personal data exclusively in accordance with Swiss data protection laws, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). All personal data is treated confidentially and in accordance with the legal provisions and this data protection statement.
Use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data (e.g., name, address, email address) is collected on our website, this is always done, where possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will never be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, unless this is necessary to perform a contract or to comply with a legal obligation.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may involve risks. Although we implement appropriate security measures, absolute protection against unauthorized access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.
This data protection statement informs you about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection, processing, and use of personal data.

We mainly use “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Some other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit to personalize your experience.
You can configure your browser to be informed when cookies are set, to accept or reject cookies in certain cases or generally, and to enable automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

- Referrer URL (the website from which you accessed ours)

4. Contact form and emails
When you contact us via the options provided on the website, your data is collected and stored to process your request. This data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent, unless required by law.
Data submitted via the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time by a simple notification, for example by email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the withdrawal is not affected.
The data entered in the contact form is stored until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent, or the purpose for storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Statutory data retention obligations remain unaffected.
5. Newsletter
To keep you informed about our activities, we offer a newsletter. Newsletter registration uses a double opt-in process, where you confirm your consent via a link sent by email.
The newsletter content may include information about our services, company news, and promotional offers. The data collected during registration, including the email address and other personal information, is used solely for sending the newsletter. This data is stored until you withdraw your consent.
You can unsubscribe at any time by following the unsubscribe link included in each newsletter. After unsubscribing, your data will be deleted unless its retention is justified by legal obligations.

By submitting contact forms or registering for newsletters or events, you provide us with personal data such as your name, address, and email address. This information is collected and processed only for the purpose stated at the time of collection.
7. Comments and contributions
When you post a comment or contribution on our website, your IP address is recorded. This measure is in place to ensure security and protect against potential misuse. In the event of a legal violation, this information could be used to identify the author of the violation.
8. Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps to display geographic maps. Using Google Maps involves the transmission of data, including your IP address, to Google servers located in the United States. Please note that the use of Google Maps is subject to Google’s terms of use and privacy policy.
If you wish to prevent your data from being transferred to Google, you can disable JavaScript in your browser. However, this will limit the functionality of the maps on our website.
9. Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help the website analyze how users use the site.
9.1 IP anonymization
We have enabled IP anonymization. This means that Google truncates your IP address within the European Union or in other member states of the European Economic Area before transferring it to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to internet usage.
9.2 Browser plugin
You can prevent cookies from being stored by configuring your browser accordingly. However, this may limit certain functions of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by cookies relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=fr.
10. Your rights
In accordance with the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), you have the right to request, free of charge, information about the personal data we hold about you, and to request its correction or deletion if it is no longer necessary or if its processing is unlawful. Requests can be submitted via the contact details provided in our legal notice. For security reasons, requests will be processed only if accompanied by proof of identity.
11. Objection to advertising emails
The use of our contact information for sending unsolicited advertising is strictly prohibited. In the event of a violation, we reserve the right to take legal action against the unsolicited sending of spam messages.
