General notes

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection regulations (Data Protection Act, DSG ), every person has the right to privacy and protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as effectively as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages viewed or the names of files accessed, as well as the date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, in particular your name, address, or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis whenever possible. Your data will not be shared with third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the retention, disclosure, collection, erasure, storage, alteration, destruction, and use of personal data.


We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, to the extent that the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases pursuant to Article 6(1) GDPR :

  • lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
  • lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
  • lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is wholly or partially applicable.
  • lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
  • lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject override those interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.


We process personal data for the duration necessary for the respective purpose(s). Where longer retention periods are required due to legal or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Privacy policy for cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific, user-related information on the user’s device while they are using the website. Cookies allow us, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze user behavior on the site, and also to make our website more user-friendly. Cookies remain stored after a browser session ends and can be retrieved when the website is visited again. If you do not wish this, you should configure your internet browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies.

You can generally object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes with many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . Furthermore, you can prevent the storage of cookies by disabling them in your browser settings. Please note that this may prevent you from using all the features of this website.

Privacy policy for SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Privacy policy for server log files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of server request

This data cannot be linked to specific individuals. This data will not be combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Third-party services

This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services from the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, and as a result, data is transferred to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the American-European and American-Swiss Privacy Shield frameworks.

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy .

Privacy policy for contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

Privacy policy for the comment function on this website

For the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information about the time of creation of the comment, your e-mail address and, if you do not post anonymously, your chosen username will be stored.

Storage of the IP address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not review comments on our site before they are published, we need this data to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribe to comments

As a user of this site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time via a link in the notification emails.

Services subject to a fee

To provide paid services, we request additional data from you, such as payment information, in order to process your order or request. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Using Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into, or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google to exercise this right. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your related rights and settings options to protect your privacy, can be found at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy .

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This function serves to present website visitors with interest-based advertisements within the Google advertising network. A so-called “cookie” is stored in the website visitor’s browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to Google’s advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor previously viewed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function.

According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can deactivate it by adjusting the settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads . Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp .

Privacy policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to collectively as “Google” below.

The statistics we gather allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, which is carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google account, you can deactivate cross-device analysis of your usage in your account settings under “My Data,” “Personal Data.”

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, thus preventing them from being linked to a specific individual. Therefore, any personal data collected about you will be immediately anonymized and the personal data promptly deleted.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be 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 the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Disable Google Analytics .

Furthermore, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics . This will save an opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted. This means that you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue preventing this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer, or other device.

Privacy policy for Google Ads

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Ads from Google (“Google Ads”). Google Ads uses cookies to display relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, and prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown repeatedly. Furthermore, Google Ads can use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. This occurs, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser’s website using the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, Google may still be able to obtain and store your IP address.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:

  • by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly, in particular by blocking third-party cookies, which will prevent you from receiving advertisements from third-party providers;
  • by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://adssettings.google.com , whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
  • by deactivating interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign “About Ads” via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices , whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
  • You can permanently disable this in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browser via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin . Please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all the features of this service.


The legal basis for processing your data is a balancing of interests, according to which there are no overriding legitimate interests on your part that would preclude the processing of your personal data as described above (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR). Further information about Google Ads from Google can be found at https://ads.google.com/intl/de_DE/home/ , and about data protection at Google in general at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy . Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://www.networkadvertising.org .

Privacy policy for the use of Google Web Fonts

This website uses web fonts provided by Google for consistent font display. When you visit a page, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage website tags via a single interface, enabling us to integrate services such as Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our website. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of users. Regarding the processing of users’ personal data, please refer to the information provided for the respective Google services. Terms of Use : https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

In order to fulfill contracts, we use payment service providers on the basis of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and, where necessary, Article 6(1)(b) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Furthermore, we use external payment service providers on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and, where necessary, Article 6(1)(f) of the EU GDPR, in order to offer our users effective and secure payment options.

The data processed by payment service providers includes master data such as name and address, bank details such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums, as well as contract, amount, and recipient-related information. This information is required to process the transactions. However, the entered data is processed and stored only by the payment service providers. We, as the operator, receive no information about (bank) accounts or credit cards, but only confirmation (acceptance) or rejection of the payment. The payment service providers may transmit the data to credit agencies for identity and creditworthiness verification. Please refer to the terms and conditions and privacy policies of the payment service providers for further information.

The terms and conditions and privacy policies of the respective payment service providers apply to payment transactions and can be accessed on their respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer you to these documents for further information and to exercise your rights of withdrawal, access, and other data subject rights.

YouTube Privacy Policy

This website integrates features of the service “YouTube”. “YouTube” is owned by Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operating under Irish law, located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which operates the services in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.

Your legal agreement with YouTube consists of the terms and conditions available at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=de&template=terms&hl=de . These terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and YouTube regarding the use of the services. Google’s Privacy Policy explains how YouTube handles and protects your personal data when you use the service.

Vimeo Privacy Policy

This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo, operated by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. Each time you access a page that offers one or more Vimeo video clips, a direct connection is established between your browser and a Vimeo server in the USA. Information about your visit and your IP address is stored there. Interactions with the Vimeo plugins (e.g., clicking the play button) also transmit this information to Vimeo, where it is stored. You can find Vimeo’s privacy policy, which provides more detailed information about the collection and use of your data by Vimeo, in Vimeo’s privacy policy .

If you have a Vimeo user account and do not want Vimeo to collect data about you via this website and link it to your member data stored at Vimeo, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting this website.

Furthermore, Vimeo uses an iframe to load the video and also calls the Google Analytics tracker. This is Vimeo’s own tracking, over which we have no control. You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the opt-out tools that Google offers for some internet browsers. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by Google Analytics relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Order processing in the online shop with customer account

We process our customers’ data in accordance with the data protection regulations of the Federal Government (Data Protection Act, DSG) and the EU GDPR, within the framework of order processes in our online shop, in order to enable them to select and order the chosen products and services, as well as to make payment and delivery or execution of these.

The data processed includes master data (inventory data), communication data, contract data, and payment data. The individuals affected by this processing include our customers, prospective customers, and other business partners. Processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services within the framework of operating an online shop, including invoicing, delivery, and customer service. We use session cookies, for example, to store the contents of the shopping cart, and persistent cookies, for example, to store the login status.

The processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(b) (performance of a contract) and (c) (compliance with legal requirements) of the GDPR. The information marked as required is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of the contract. We only disclose your data to third parties for the purposes of delivery, payment, or as permitted by law. Data is only processed in third countries if this is necessary for the performance of the contract (e.g., at the customer’s request for delivery or payment).

Users can optionally create a user account, which allows them to view their orders. During registration, users are informed of the required mandatory information. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines such as Google. If users terminate their user account, their data relating to the user account will be deleted, unless its retention is necessary for commercial or tax law reasons in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Information in the customer account remains until its deletion, with subsequent archiving in the event of a legal obligation. It is the users’ responsibility to back up their data before the end of the contract if they have terminated their account.

As part of the registration and subsequent login processes, as well as the use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of each user action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user’s interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not shared with third parties, unless it is necessary for the enforcement of our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Data is deleted after the expiry of statutory warranty periods and similar obligations; the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed periodically. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiry.
