Data processing in connection with our Website

1. What data do we collect when you visit our Website?

When you visit our Website, our servers temporarily store each access in a log file. The following technical data is collected without your intervention and stored by us, as in principle with every connection to a web server:

  • the IP address of the requesting computer,
  • the operating system of your computer,
  • the browser you are using (type, version and language),
  • name of the IP address range,
  • the date and time of the server request,
  • the web page from which access was made (referrer URL), possibly with the search terms used, and
  • the status code (for example, error message, debug information).

The collection and processing of these data are carried out for the purpose of enabling the use of our Website (establishing a connection), ensuring system security and stability over the long term and optimising our Website presence as well as for internal statistical purposes. It is within our legitimate interest to process such data in order to provide you with an accessible Website.

The IP address will also be used together with the other data in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorised or abusive use of the Website to identify offenders in connection with civil or criminal proceedings. The processing of this data is in our legitimate interest to track your visit to our Website and to improve the Website accordingly.

2. What are cookies? Do we need cookies?

Cookies help in many ways to make your visit to our Website easier, more enjoyable and more meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically saves on your computer's hard drive when you visit our Website. In particular, we use the following cookies:

  • technically necessary cookies,
  • performance cookies,
  • functional cookies, and
  • promotional cookies.

Most Internet browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears when you receive a new cookie.

Disabling cookies may prevent you from using all features of our Website.

3. Do we use tracking tools?

3.a. What are tracking tools?

We use the web analysis service of Google Analytics for the purpose of designing and continuously optimising our Website to meet your needs. In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and small text files stored on your computer ("cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our Website is transferred to the servers of the provider of these services, stored there and processed for us. In addition to the data listed in section 1, we may receive the following information:

  • navigation path of a visitor to the site,
  • time spent on the Website or a subpage,
  • the subpage on which the Website is left,
  • the country, region or city from which access is made,
  • the device (type, version, colour depth, resolution, width and height of the browser window), and
  • if you are a recurring or new visitor.

The information is used to evaluate the use of the Website, to compile reports on Website activity and to provide other services related to the use of the Website and the internet for purposes of market research and need-based design of this Website. In addition, this information may be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf.

3.b. What is Google Analytics?

The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc, a company of the holding company Alphabet Inc, based in the USA. Before the data collected on this Website and within the European Union or in a state that is part of the European Economic Area is transmitted to the provider, the IP address is shortened by activating IP anonymisation ("anonymizeIP"). The anonymous IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In such cases, we provide contractual guarantees to ensure that Google Inc. maintains an adequate level of data protection. According to Google Inc., under no circumstances will the IP address be associated with other data relating to you.

Further information about the web analysis service used can be found on the Google Analytics Website. Instructions on how to prevent your data from being processed by the web analysis service can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Storage and exchange of data with third parties

4. Is this data stored or linked?

We link the data to the Google Analytics website.

5. How long will my data be kept?

We only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the above described uses and further processing in the context of our legitimate interest. We may store data for a longer period of time if this is prescribed by the law. Obligations to store data may arise out of accounting law, civil law and tax law. According to these laws, business communication, concluded contracts and accounting vouchers must usually be stored for up to 10 years. If we no longer need this data it will be blocked.

6. Will my data be disclosed to other third parties?

We only disclose your personal data to other third parties if you have expressly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular, to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship. In addition, we disclose your data to third parties insofar as this is necessary for the use of the Website.

6.a. Who is our web host?

The web host of our Website is SAS OVH, 2 rue Kellermann – 59100 Roubaix – France. Personal data collected via the Website may be disclosed to with Google. The Website is hosted on servers in Canada and France. View their Data Processing Agreement: https://www.ovh.com/fr/support/documents_legaux/Annexe Traitement de données à caractère personnel.pdf

6.b. Embedded link

We have an embedded link that creates an interface with your Skype account to enable you to directly call us without the need to copy the phone number first. If you access this link from our Website it may be that data is disclosed to Skype SARL, which is owned by Microsoft Corp. We cannot influence what data may be processed through that interface and we therefore recommend that you check the privacy policy of Skype for more details.

7. Do we transfer personal data abroad?

We are entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties (contracted service providers) abroad for the purpose of the data processing described in this privacy policy. These are bound to protect data to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or Europe, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or Europe at all times.

Anything else you need to know?

8. You have a right of access, rectification, deletion and limitation of the processing as well as of data transferability

You have a right to request information about the personal data that we store about you. In addition, you have a right to correct incorrect data and a right to request deletion of your personal data, insofar as there is no legal obligation to retain such data and no legal basis for further processing the existing data.

You also have a right to request the data that you have provided to us (right to data portability). Upon request, we will transfer your data to a third party of your choice. You have a right to receive the data in a common file format.

You can contact us for the aforementioned purposes via the e-mail address This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. In order to process your requests, we may request proof of your identity.

In many countries, you also have the right to file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you have concerns about how we process your data.

These rights depend on the applicable data protection legislation and may be either more limited or more comprehensive.

9. Is your data safe with us?

We use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

We also care about data protection internally. Our employees and the service providers are contractually obliged to ensure confidentiality of personal data and compliance with applicable data protection laws.

10. Is the same protection provided when data is transferred to the USA?

We would like to point out to users residing in Switzerland, an EU or EEA member state that, from the point of view of Switzerland and the EU or the EEA, the USA does not have an adequate level of data protection, partly due to the issues mentioned below. Insofar as we have explained in this privacy statement that recipients of data (such as Google) are based in the USA, we will ensure that your data is protected at an appropriate level by our service providers, either through contractual arrangements with these companies or by ensuring that these companies are certified under the EU or Swiss-US Privacy Shield.

For the sake of completeness, for users residing or domiciled in Switzerland, the EU or the EEA, we would like to point out that in the USA there are surveillance measures by US authorities which generally allow them to obtain access to all personal data that has been transferred from Switzerland to the USA. This is done without differentiation, limitation or exception based on the objective pursued and without any objective criterion that would allow limiting the access to the data and subsequent use thereof by US authorities to very specific, strictly limited purposes that could justify the interference associated both with access to and use of such data. In addition, we would like to point out that in the USA there are no legal remedies available for the persons concerned from Switzerland that would allow them to gain access to the data concerning them and to obtain its correction or deletion, nor is there effective legal protection against general access rights of US authorities. We explicitly draw your attention to this legal and factual situation in order to enable an informed decision on continuing to permit the use of your data.

11. Can you complain about us?

You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority at any time.

12. Which law do we apply? And where does the law apply?

This privacy policy and the contracts concluded on the basis of or in connection with this policy are subject to Swiss law, unless the law of another country is mandatory. The place of jurisdiction shall be Geneva, unless another place of jurisdiction is mandatory.

13. Can this policy be amended?

Should individual parts of this privacy policy be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the rest of the privacy policy. The invalid part of this privacy policy shall be replaced in such a way that it comes as close as possible to the economically intended purpose of the invalid part.

Due to the further development of our Website and offers or changes to the statutory requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy. The most current privacy policy is published on our Website.
