“The protection of your data is very important to us!”
Christa Appelt
The following gives a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is all data that personally identifies you. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our Privacy Policy, which is below this text. Providing this website requires the handling of personal data, such as IP addresses, for loading the content displayed on the website. The handling of your personal data for the provision of this website is based on our legitimate interest. For the provision of this website it is technically necessary that we process certain personal data (e.g. IP addresses). As part of the necessary weighing of interests, we have weighed your interest in the confidentiality of your personal data against our interest in providing this website. Your interest in confidentiality is ultimately outweighed, as we would otherwise not be able to provide you with this website. We use service providers to provide our website. For this purpose, we transmit personal data to these service providers. These service providers are contractually obliged by us to exercise the same care in handling personal data as we do ourselves.

Mobil: +41 (0)79 894 96 60

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or in concert with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, email addresses, etc.).
Recovation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. You can do this by simply emailing us. No formal requirements apply. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive, or have sent to a third party, in a standard, machine-readable format, any data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract. If you require the direct transfer of data to another data controller, we will only do this if it is technically feasible.
SSL and TLS encryption
This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us, the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the address bar of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and the lock symbol appears in your browser’s address bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information at no cost to you about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of said data. For this purpose and for further questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.
Objection to advertising emails
We herewith expressly object to the use of contact data published in the context of the mandatory legal notice for the purposes of sending advertising and information which has not been requested. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example spam emails.
Data collection on our website
Some pages on our site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not do any harm to your PC, and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are session cookies. They are automatically deleted once your visit has ended. Other cookies remain stored on your web-enabled device until you delete them. Such cookies enable us to recognise your browser again on your next visit. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to block cookies in certain cases or in general and to automatically delete cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This data includes: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, IP address. This data is not combined with other data sources.
Contact form
You can contact us via our website, e.g. to make an appointment. For this purpose, we collect the personal data that you enter in the contact form. The handling of your personal data in the context of our contact form takes place to initiate a service contract. If we conclude a service contract at a later date, then we will then also process your personal data for the execution and handling of that service contract. Personal data from our contact form is not sent to our partners. We transmit your personal data to partners only at a later date, within the scope of our services and after consultation with you. If you send us enquiries via contact form, we will save the form details (including contact details) that you provide so we can respond to you and answer any follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent. You can revoke consent at any time by simply emailing us. No formal requirements apply. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, until you revoke your consent to storage, or until the purpose for data storage is no longer current (for example, after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
Comment feature on this website
For the comment feature on this page, the following will be stored: your comment, information about the time the comment was created, your email address, and, if you do not post anonymously, the user name you have chosen.
Storage of IP adresses
Our comment feature stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Even if we check comments on our site before publishing them, we need this data to be able to take action against the author in the event of infringements such as insults or propaganda.
Subscribing to comments
As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the email address you provided. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time via a link contained within the info emails. In this case, the data entered when subscribing to comments will be deleted; however, if you have transmitted this data to us for other purposes and elsewhere (e.g. newsletter subscription), it will remain with us.
Storage duration for comments
The comments and the associated data (e.g. IP addresses) are stored and remain on our website until the commented content has been completely deleted or the comments have to be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. offensive comments). You can revoke consent at any time by simply emailing us. No formal requirements apply. The legality of the data processing remains unaffected by the revocation.
Analysis tools and advertising
We use cookies and analysis tools to provide our website. So-called “cookies” are used on our web pages. Cookies are data files that are stored by a web server on a user’s device (e.g. computer, smartphone, tablet). These are sent back to our website (first party cookie) or to another website to which the cookie belongs (third-party cookie) when you visit our website again with the same device. The information stored and returned (e.g. browser and operating system used; domain name of the website from which you came; average time spent on the site; pages viewed) tells the respective website that you have already accessed and visited it using the browser of your device. When you access our websites, information is automatically collected in anonymous form. This enables us to provide the user with a more effective and generally better website over time by improving the content/content and making it easier to use. The statistical data obtained help us to improve the performance and attractiveness of our websites. We use this information so that we can provide you with services and information that is more specific to your needs. Storage of personal data going beyond the information mentioned above will only take place after your express consent. This is the case, for example, if you create a customer account, conclude a contract, contact us or take part in a competition. Your personal data will be used exclusively for the processing of your specific requests. Our cookies remain on your device for five years unless you delete them beforehand. Disabling the cookie function in your browser does not restrict the use of our websites and the services offered. The legal basis for the cookies and analysis tools that are necessary for the provision of our website is that they are in our legitimate interest. As part of the necessary weighing of interests, we have weighed your interest in the confidentiality of your personal data against our interest in providing this website (including its features). Your interest in confidentiality is outweighed in each case. If you give us your consent within the framework of our so-called cookie banners, we will process personal data for tracking and analysis purposes. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Please note that it is technically necessary for you to delete the corresponding cookies on your devices in this case.

Google Analytics Remarking
Our sites use Google Analytics Remarketing features in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This feature allows us to link advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-related, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and browsing behaviour on one device (e.g. phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC). If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browser history to your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be displayed on any device on which you sign in with your Google Account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target audiences for cross-device advertising. You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by opting out of personalised advertising in your Google Account via this link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
The data collected in your Google Account is only aggregated on the legal basis of your consent. Our legitimate interest results from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymous analysis of the website visitors for advertising purposes. Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s privacy policy:
Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (Google). We use conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on users’ computers. These cookies become invalid after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google may recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked by the websites of AdWords customers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to be tracked, you can easily opt out by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your web browser via your user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.
