USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your visit to this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. On this website, IP anonymisation has been activated so that the IP address of users of Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area is shortened beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred 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 create reports about the website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

However, we would like to inform you that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

We would like to inform you that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" in order to guarantee an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP-Masking).

THIRD PARTY OFFERS

Our website may contain references to third party offers in the form of links, advertising banners or similar. If you follow these references (usually by clicking on the left or advertising banners), you will be directed to offers of third parties. We would like to inform you that we are not the responsible party for such offers and that the data protection regulations of the third party as the responsible party apply exclusively.

ADVERTISING FROM THIRD PARTIES ON OUR WEBSITE

Our website partly contains advertisements of third parties and links to Internet offers for which we are not responsible. We do not transmit your data to these third parties. Although we ourselves do not pass on any personal data to advertising companies or their service providers, they may draw conclusions from the fact that you have come from our website when you click on an advertisement.

NOTE ON DATA TRANSFERS TO THE USA

For the purpose of completeness, we would like to inform users who are resident or domiciled in Switzerland that surveillance measures are in place in the USA by US authorities, which generally allow the storage of all personal data of all persons whose data has been transferred from Switzerland to the USA. This is done without any differentiation, restriction or exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective objective criterion that would make it possible to limit access to the data by the US authorities and its subsequent use to very specific, strictly limited purposes that could justify the interference associated with both access to and use of the data. Furthermore, we would like to point out that there are no legal remedies available in the United States for data subjects from Switzerland that would allow them to gain access to the data concerning them and to obtain its correction or deletion, or that there is no effective judicial protection against general access rights of US authorities. We specifically advise the data subject of this legal and factual situation in order to make an appropriately informed decision to consent to the use of his or her data.

YOUR RIGHTS

You have a right to be informed about the personal data we have stored about you and, under certain circumstances, a right to correct, block or delete your personal data. In addition, you can, in particular, object to the use of user profiles, the use of your e-mail address for sending advertising by electronic mail and any other use of your data for the purposes of advertising or market or opinion research at any time without additional cost.
