Inclusion of third-party services and content

It may happen that content or services from third-party providers, such as city maps or fonts from other websites, are integrated into our online offering. The integration of content from third-party providers always requires that the third-party providers perceive the user’s IP address, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. Furthermore, the providers of third-party content can set their own cookies and process user data for their own purposes. User usage profiles can be created from the processed data. We will use this content as data-efficiently and as data-avoiding as possible and will choose reliable third-party providers with regard to data security.

The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their data protection declarations, which contain further information on the processing of data and, in some cases already mentioned here, objection options (so-called opt-out):

External fonts from Google, Inc., https://www.google.com/fonts (“Google Fonts”). The integration of Google Fonts occurs through a server call at Google (usually in the USA). Data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input was made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the re-CAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha is not merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA. The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on your consent before its revocation. Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and the associated data protection declaration can be found at: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

Transfer of data to third parties

We will only pass on your personal data if you have expressly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from the relationship between you and us.

In addition, we pass on your data to third parties to the extent that this is necessary when using the website to provide the services you have requested and to analyze your user behavior. To the extent that this is necessary for the purposes stated in sentence 1, the data may also be passed on abroad. If the website contains links to third-party websites, after clicking on these links we no longer have any influence on the collection, processing, storage or use of personal data by the third party and assume no responsibility for this.

Transfer of personal data abroad

We are entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties (commissioned service providers) abroad if this is necessary for the data processing described in this data protection declaration. They are obliged to protect data to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or Europe, we contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or the EU at all times.

Data security

We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored by us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

You should always keep your payment information confidential and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share the computer with others.

We also take internal company data protection very seriously. We have obliged our employees and the service companies we commission to maintain confidentiality and to comply with data protection regulations.
