1. Data Protection
We, the operators of this website, place great importance on 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 compliance with legal provisions as well as this privacy policy.
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, where possible, provided voluntarily. This data will never be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, unless it is necessary for the execution of a contract or to comply with a legal obligation.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) can involve security risks. While we implement appropriate security measures, absolute protection against unauthorized access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.
This privacy policy informs you about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection, processing, and use of personal data.

When you post a comment or contribution on our site, your IP address is recorded. This measure is in place to ensure security and protect against potential abuse. In the event of legal violations, this information may be used to identify the perpetrator.
8. Use of Google Maps
This site uses Google Maps to display geographic maps. The use of Google Maps involves the transmission of data, including your IP address, to Google’s servers located in the United States. Please note that use of Google Maps is subject to Google’s Terms of Use and their Privacy Policy.

9.1 IP Anonymization
We have enabled IP anonymization. This means Google shortens your IP address within the European Union or other EEA member states before transmitting it to the U.S. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and shortened there. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other internet usage services.

You can also prevent the collection and processing by Google of data generated by cookies related to your website use (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
10. Your Rights
In accordance with the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), you have the right to request free information about the personal data we hold about you, and to request correction or deletion if the data is no longer necessary or if its processing is unlawful.
