We endeavour to ensure that the information provided is up-to-date, correct and complete. However, we cannot guarantee this. We expressly reserve the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the digital presence or the entire offer without prior notice or to temporarily or permanently cease publication.

Liability claims against the persons responsible, authors or technical suppliers of this digital presence, which refer to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information, are fundamentally excluded. Access to this digital presence and its use are not guaranteed.

References and links
We are aware of our responsibility for direct or indirect links to external websites. Nevertheless, the content accessed via these links is outside our area of responsibility. For this reason, we reject any liability obligation. We hereby expressly declare that no illegal content was recognisable on the linked pages at the time the links were created. We have no influence on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages.

Copyright and right of use
The copyright and all other rights to content, images, photos or other files on this digital presence belong exclusively to those responsible, the authors and/or the specifically named rights holders. The written consent of the copyright holders must be obtained in advance for the reproduction of any elements.

Data security
We make every effort to protect data from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification. All data that we receive from you will be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG). By submitting your data, you consent to its processing and to the maintenance of existing and future relationships as well as for purposes that are expressly listed in this privacy policy or are obviously related to the use of this digital presence.

Personal responsibility
Please note that the Internet is a worldwide open network. If you transmit personal data via the Internet, you always do so at your own risk. Your computer is located outside our controllable security area. It is your responsibility as the user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures in this regard. Under no circumstances will we be liable for any damage you may suffer as a result of data loss or manipulation.

Personal data
If this digital presence offers the option of entering personal data such as first name and surname, postal address, email address, date of birth, etc., this data will only be stored if it is provided on a voluntary basis.

The personal information you provide will only be used in the context of the relationship between you and the persons responsible and/or authors of this digital presence for personalised customer communication. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties in order to make use of technical or organisational services that we require to fulfil the stated purposes (e.g. Post CH AG, for sending personalised mailings). The data passed on in this way may only be used by our service providers to fulfil their task.
The owner of the data collection is the person responsible for this digital presence.

Automatic log data
Our servers automatically log every visit in a log file. User-specific data (such as the IP address of the computer used, identification data of the browser used, the operating system of the computer used, the amount of data transferred, the name of the Internet service provider, the date and time of access, the device identification number) and technical data (such as the name and URL of the referring website, when the digital website was accessed via a link and, in addition, the search term if the digital website was accessed via a search engine) are logged and analysed anonymously. This data is primarily required to enable the use of our content (connection establishment), as well as for internal system-related purposes, such as technical administration and system security.

Cookies
A cookie is a small text file that contains data for technical session control and in particular the identification of your browser for the duration of your visit to our digital presence. Our servers place so-called cookies in the memory of your hardware. These cookies enable us to carry out an anonymous evaluation of general user behaviour based on the number of visitors in order to optimise our digital presence. We also use cookies for web analysis tools, social plugins and/or technologies for advertising purposes (see the following paragraphs).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this digital presence to their full extent.

Web analysis tools
We use tracking technologies to continuously improve and optimise our digital presence. Web analysis tools provide us with data that gives us information about the use of our website. The data on the use of a website is transmitted to the server used for this purpose. Depending on the provider of a web analysis tool, these servers may be located abroad. For the most frequently used web analysis tool, Google Analytics, this data is transmitted including abbreviated IP addresses, which prevents the identification of individual devices. Google complies with the data protection provisions of the "U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Framework" agreement and is registered with the "Safe Harbor" programme of the US Department of Commerce. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. A transfer of this data by Google to third parties only takes place on the basis of legal regulations or in the context of order data processing. You can prevent the collection of data generated by cookies and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). You can find more information about Google Analytics and Privacy policy at http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

Technologies for advertising purposes
This website uses technologies for advertising purposes, e.g. visitor action pixels from Facebook, Google AdWords Conversion Tracking, Google Remarketing and others.

This allows us to track the actions of users after they have seen or clicked on an advert. This allows us to record the effectiveness of the advertisements and evaluate them for marketing purposes (e.g. for the display of personalised, interest-based advertising). The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data may be stored and processed by third-party providers such as Facebook or Google.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this digital presence to their full extent.

Social plugins
Our digital presence uses social plugins, e.g. from Facebook, Twitter or Google+. The plugins are labelled with the provider's logo and can be, for example, Like buttons or a Google+ button or Twitter button. When you access our digital presence that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the provider's computers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the provider site and integrated into the website. By integrating the plugins, the provider receives the information that you have accessed our website. If you are logged in to the provider at the same time, the provider can assign the visit to your profile. If you interact with the plugins - for example, by clicking the "Like" button or leaving a comment - the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the provider and stored there. If you do not want the provider to collect data about you via our website, you must log out of the provider's account before visiting our website. Even when you are logged out, the providers collect anonymised data via the social plugins and set you a cookie. This data can be assigned to your profile if you log in to the provider at a later time. If a login is offered via a social login service - e.g. Facebook Connect - data is exchanged between the provider and our website. In the case of Facebook Connect, this may be data from your public Facebook profile, for example. By using such login services, you consent to the transfer of data. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing of your data by the provider as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the provider's data protection information.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this digital presence to their full extent.
