Type of data and purpose

We use personal data to operate this website and to offer and advertise our services. Different types of data are collected and processed, depending on how you use our online services.

One type of data concerns information that you actively provide, for example, via a contact form or e-mail.

Other data are automatically collected as soon as you visit our website. In this case, the data mainly concern technical data such as your IP address or the web browser you use.

In addition, we evaluate how visitors navigate our website. These data are collected for statistical analysis and are never used to observe or identify individuals. The information gathered helps us to optimise our web presence and to improve your online experience.

Security measures

We have adopted technical and strategic measures to protect your data from being misused when you visit our website and use its related functions and services. The security measures include the encryption of data transmitted from your browser to the server (https) as well as a secure e-mail connection (SSL/TLS). We recommend that you also activate SSL/TLS in your personal e-mail application.

Please note that security risks associated with transmitting data in the internet can never be completely eliminated.

Retaining and deleting data

Data you send, for example, via a contact form, are used solely for the stated purpose and never passed on to third parties without your consent.

When you send us this data, you give us your consent to retain and process your data until you either retract your consent or until the data are no longer relevant to the original purpose, provided that no legal obligation to retain information rules out deleting the data.

Données d’accès au serveur

Nous collectons des informations sur chaque accès au serveur hébergeant ce service. Ces fichiers journaux comprennent l’URL du site web consulté, le fichier, la date et l’heure de la consultation, le code d’état de la demande, la quantité de données transférées, le type et la version du navigateur, la système d’exploitation de l’utilisateur, l’URL référente (page précédemment visitée), l’adresse IP ainsi que le fournisseur demandeur.

Les fichiers journaux sont utilisés pour l’exploitation, la sécurité et l’optimisation du présent site web et sont supprimés régulièrement. En règle générale, les données du journal sont utilisées uniquement à des fins statistiques. En cas de soupçon fondé d’une utilisation illégale (cyberattaque, par exemple), nous nous réservons le droit de vérifier les données du journal en détail. Les données requérant une conservation supplémentaire à des fins de preuve sont exclues de la suppression régulière jusqu’à ce que l’incident ait été clarifié.

Cookies

Like most websites, we also use “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. So-called session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies are stored for a pre-defined time or are stored permanently, allowing a website to recognise your browser when you next visit the site.

We use cookies to enable certain functions and to ensure that your visit to our site runs smoothly. We also use cookies to understand how visitors use our website. Detailed information about the use of cookies is available in the relevant sections below, including information on how you can block cookies.

 

Information on how to control the use of cookies for marketing purposes, in particular with regard to tracking, is available on the following websites: the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.comhtt

Matomo (previously PIWIK)

Matomo is an open-source platform that uses cookies to analyse how our online services are used. Anonymised user profiles can be created on the basis of the data collected.

The following data are saved on our server in Switzerland: browser type and version; operating system; country; date and time of server request; number of visits; time spent on the website; external links clicked. IP addresses are shortened before they are retained.

You can opt out of Matomo’s anonymised collection of data at any time (this regards future collection of data) by selecting “deactivate”, see below. When you select this feature, an opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, preventing Matomo from collecting data on your visit. Important: when you delete cookies from your browser, you also remove the opt-out cookie; you must therefore re-activate the opt-out cookie to block data collection.

Embedded services and content of third-party companies

We use the services of third-party companies on our website. To enable these third parties to send content to the browser, IP addresses of users are forwarded. These third parties may also use other technologies to collect and process pseudonymised data.

Our website enables services of the following third parties:
