General Notice
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), every individual has the right to privacy and protection against the 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 applicable data protection regulations, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.
We use HubSpot as our primary platform for website hosting, marketing automation, CRM, customer communication, and analytics. As a cloud-based service, HubSpot may process and store personal data on servers located outside of Switzerland and the EU. HubSpot ensures compliance with GDPR and other privacy laws through Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other security measures.
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect our databases from unauthorized access, data loss, misuse, or falsification. However, we would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., via email) may have security vulnerabilities, and complete protection from third-party access is not possible.
Data Collection and Processing
By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data as described in this policy. In general, this website can be visited without registration. However, we may collect certain data through HubSpot’s analytics and marketing tools, including:
- Website usage data (e.g., visited pages, interaction tracking, session behavior)
- Contact details (e.g., name, email, phone number) provided through forms
- Marketing interactions (e.g., email engagement, campaign tracking)
This data may be used for marketing purposes, including personalized content, newsletters, promotional offers, event invitations, and customer engagement.
If you do not agree to this, you can manage your cookie preferences via our consent banner or contact us to request data deletion or restriction of processing.
Processing of Personal Data
Personal data includes any information that relates to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is an individual whose personal data is processed. Processing refers to any handling of personal data, regardless of the methods and procedures used, including but not limited to storing, disclosing, collecting, deleting, saving, modifying, destroying, and using personal data.
We process personal data in compliance with Swiss data protection law. Additionally, where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we process personal data based on the following legal grounds in accordance with Article 6(1) GDPR:
- (a) Processing based on the consent of the data subject.
- (b) Processing necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject or to take pre-contractual measures.
- (c) Processing necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR applies.
- (d) Processing necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
- (f) Processing necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override these interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business operations, ensuring website functionality, information security, enforcing legal claims, and compliance with Swiss law.
HubSpot-Specific Data Processing
The data collected on this website or when accessing its content may be stored and processed in HubSpot, a cloud-based marketing and CRM platform. This includes:
- Contact details (e.g., name, email, phone number) provided through forms.
- Website interactions (e.g., pages visited, links clicked) for analytics and marketing automation.
- Email marketing activities, such as newsletters and promotional content.
Personal data may be stored on HubSpot’s servers, which could be located outside Switzerland or the EU. HubSpot ensures compliance with GDPR and Swiss data protection laws through appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
We process personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose(s). If legal or regulatory retention obligations apply, we restrict data processing accordingly.

Privacy Policy for SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as inquiries you send to us as the website operator—this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. This encryption ensures that data transmitted between your browser and our website cannot be read by third parties.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar and by the “https://” prefix in the URL. When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, any data you transmit to us is protected from unauthorized access.
Privacy Policy for Server Log Files
As this website is hosted on HubSpot, certain technical data is automatically collected and stored in server log files to ensure website functionality and security. This includes:
-
Browser type and version
-
Operating system used
-
Referrer URL (the page you visited before accessing our site)
-
Hostname of the accessing device
-
Time of the server request
-
IP address (anonymized where required by law)
This data is used solely for technical monitoring and optimization of the website. It is not linked to specific individuals and is not combined with other data sources. However, we reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if we become aware of indications of unlawful use.
As HubSpot is a cloud-based platform, some data processing may take place outside of Switzerland or the EU. HubSpot complies with applicable data protection regulations, including GDPR, and ensures data security through appropriate measures.
