The protection of personal data is very important to us. That is why we would like to take this opportunity to inform you about which personal data we collect on this website for which purpose.

​

I. Collection, processing and use of personal data

​

Personal data is information that can be used to find out personal or factual circumstances about you, such as your name, address, telephone number or email address. Information that we cannot use to relate to your person is generally not personal data. We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as the BDSG or another legal regulation allows or orders this or the person concerned has consented. In principle, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name or email address) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis. If you register for one of our personalized services (e.g. ordering a newsletter, requests for information), we will ask you for your contact details (e.g. name, email address) or other personal information. It is up to you to decide whether you provide this information. Without this information, however, we may not be able to provide the requested service or process your request.

​

Purpose of data processing

​

In connection with the use of this website, we process your personal data for the following purposes, among other things: To provide services via contact forms and newsletters, for statistical evaluations of accumulated and anonymized data and to prevent misuse.

 

II. Use of cookies

​

The website operator uses cookies to improve the presentation and navigation. A cookie is a text file that is sent to the browser by the web server. The URL that was visited is stored in this file, as well as the date of the visit and an expiry date, which determines the period of the cookie activity. Cookies are used by the website operator, on the one hand, to determine which areas are preferred and, on the other hand, to enable the user to save his personal settings so that they are available again the next time the page is accessed. In order to determine which areas / websites are preferred to be visited, aggregated statistics on website visits are created. A banner indicating the use of cookies appears on the websites on which cookies are used. You have the choice to decide whether you want to accept cookies or not. You can set your browser so that you are notified when you receive a cookie or you can exercise your statutory right of objection by rejecting cookies in the browser settings. If you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use the full range of website functions. Further information on the handling of cookies can be found in the help pages of your browser and, for example, on the website of: https://allaboutcookies.org/ge. We use third-party analysis cookies (Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us to improve the quality and content on our site.

​

Google Analytics

​

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. 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 the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by clicking on the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en) download and install the available browser plug-in.

III. Use of JavaScript and tracking pixels (web beacons)

​

We use JavaScript and tracking pixels to evaluate website visits. The JavaScript is integrated in all websites. The JavaScript collects various information about the visitor's computer (e.g. IP address, the time the page was accessed, the browser type and the existence of cookies that were previously set by the same server). This data is transmitted to us via tracking pixels. You have the option of deactivating JavaScript calls in your browser. You can also deactivate tracking pixels by rejecting or deactivating the cookies associated with them.

​

IV. Hyperlinks to third party sites

​

Our website also contains links that refer to third party websites. If you click on a link to an external page, you are moving outside of our website. We are therefore not responsible for the content, services or products offered on the linked website, nor for data protection and technical security on the linked website.

​

V. Contact via the website

​

On our website, we offer you the option of contacting us by email and / or using a contact form. In this case, your details (name and email address) will be saved for the purpose of processing the contact. We only use this data to contact you and not for other services (e.g. newsletters).

​​

Google Maps

​

Our website uses Google Maps on the contact page to display an interactive map and to create directions. Google Maps is a map service from Google. By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered as part of the route planner function, can be transmitted to Google in the USA. When you call up a page that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Google servers. The map content is sent directly from Google to your browser, which integrates it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data collected by Google in this way. If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about you via our website, you can deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, you cannot use the map display. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Google's data protection information at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=us&gl=us.
