General remark
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the federal government (Data Protection Act, DSG ), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we strive to protect the databases as well as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or the name of the file accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your
person. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, are collected on a voluntary basis as far as possible. The data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Processing of personal data
Personal data is all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes all handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, we process – to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable – personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR :
• lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
• lit.b) Processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject and to carry out corresponding pre-contractual measures.
• c) Processing of personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject in accordance with any applicable law of the EU or in accordance with any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
• lit.d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
• lit.f) Processing of personal data in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, provided that the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the person concerned do not prevail. Legitimate interests are in particular our business interests in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.
We process personal data for the duration that is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer storage
obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we limit the processing accordingly.
Privacy policy for cookies
This site uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to save specific, user-related information on the user’s device while he is using the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyze the behavior of the page usage, but also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be called up again when you visit the site again. If you do not want this, you should set your internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.
A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be made for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ explained. Furthermore, cookies can be saved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this online offer.
Data protection declaration for SSL / TLS encryption
This website uses SSL / TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http: //” to “https: //” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Data transmission security (without SSL)
Please note that data that is transmitted over an open network such as the Internet or an e-mail service without SSL encryption can be viewed by everyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser shows “http: //” and no lock symbol is displayed in your browser line. Information that is transmitted over the Internet and content received online can, under certain circumstances, be transmitted via networks of third-party providers. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or documents transmitted via such open networks or third-party networks.
If you disclose personal information via an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware of the fact that your data will be lost or that third parties may potentially access this information and consequently collect and use the data without your consent. In many cases, the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, but not the names of the sender and recipient. Even if the sender and recipient live in the same country, data is often transmitted via such networks and without controls also via third countries, ie also via countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We are not responsible for the security of your data while it is being transmitted over the Internet and decline any liability for direct or indirect losses. We ask you to use other means of communication should you consider this necessary or sensible for security reasons.
Despite extensive technical and organizational security precautions, data can possibly be lost or intercepted and / or manipulated by unauthorized persons. As far as possible, we take suitable technical and organizational security measures to prevent this from happening within our system. However, your computer is outside the security area that we can control. As the user, it is your responsibility to find out about the necessary safety precautions and to take suitable measures in this regard. As the website operator, we are in no way liable for any damage you may incur from data loss or manipulation.
Data that you enter in online forms can be passed on to commissioned third parties for the purpose of order processing and viewed by them and, if necessary, processed.

Use of the scalable central measurement method
This website uses the measurement method (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.INFOnline.de) to determine statistical parameters about the use of our offers. The aim of usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits to our website, the number of website visitors and their surfing behavior – on the basis of a uniform standard procedure – and thus to obtain values that are comparable across the market.
For all digital offers that are members of the information community for determining the distribution of advertising media (IVW – http://www.ivw.eu) or the studies of the online research association (AGOF – http: // www. agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly processed by the AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyze eV (agma – http://www.agma-mmc.de) and published with the performance value “Unique User” as well as by IVW with the performance values «Page Impression» and «Visits». These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.
1. Legal basis for the processing
The measurement using the SZMnG measurement method by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with a legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
The purpose of processing personal data is to create statistics and create user categories. The statistics are used to understand and prove the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for an interest-based alignment of advertising material or advertising measures. To market this website, it is essential to measure usage, which ensures comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest arises from the economic usability of the knowledge resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with third party websites – which can be determined on the basis of the statistics.
In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purpose of market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes
(INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline for the further development and provision of interest-based advertising material.

The at least short-term storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the Internet works. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and only anonymized. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses.
• A randomly generated client identifier: Range processing uses either a cookie with the identifier “ioam.de”, a “Local Storage Object” or a signature that is created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognize computer systems. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. A measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is therefore also possible if you call up other websites that also use the INFOnline GmbH measurement method (“SZMnG”). The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.
3. Use of the data
The INFOnline GmbH measuring process, which is used on this website, determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values of page impressions, visits and clients and to generate further key figures from them (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows:
• A so-called geolocation, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the location of the call, takes place exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. Under no circumstances can a conclusion be drawn about the specific whereabouts of a user from the geographic information obtained in this way.
• The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) is merged across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical assessment of the socio-information age and gender and passed on to the AGOF service providers for further range processing. As part of the AGOF study, based on a random sample, sociological characteristics are technically assessed, which can be assigned to the following categories: age, gender, nationality, professional activity, marital status, general information on the household, household income, place of residence, internet use, online Interests, place of use, type of user.
4. Storage duration of the data
INFOnline GmbH does not save the full IP address. The shortened IP address is saved for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data in connection with the unique identifier are stored for a maximum of 6 months.
5. Passing on the data

Use of the scalable central measuring method by an application
Our application uses the measurement method (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH ( https://www.INFOnline.de ) to determine statistical parameters about the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the usage intensity, the number of uses and users of our application and their surfing behavior – on the basis of a uniform standard method – and thus to obtain values that are comparable across the market.
For all digital offers that are members of the information community for determining the distribution of advertising media (IVW – http://www.ivw.eu) or the studies of the online research association (AGOF – http: // www. agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly processed by the AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyze eV (agma – http://www.agma-mmc.de) and published with the performance value “Unique User” as well as by IVW with the
performance values «Page Impression» and «Visits». These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.
1. Legal basis for the processing
The measurement using the SZMnG measurement method by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with a legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
The purpose of processing personal data is to compile statistics to create user categories. The statistics help us to understand and document the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for an interest-based alignment of advertising material or advertising measures. In order to market this application, a usage measurement that ensures comparability with other market participants is essential. Our legitimate interest arises from the economic usability of the knowledge resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our application – also in direct comparison with third-party applications – which can be determined on the basis of the statistics.
In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purpose of market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (IVW, INFOnline).
