when technical usage data is generated when visiting our website;
when you use our comparison and tool offerings and voluntarily provide information;

We only process the personal data that is appropriate and necessary for the respective purpose.

When you disclose personal data to us via our website or by other means, we process this data to provide the desired function, to process your enquiry, to communicate with you or for the purposes described in this data protection declaration. This may include, in particular, contact details, content data of your enquiry, and information voluntarily entered by you in tools or forms.

b. Log Data

When accessing the website, information, including the IP address of your device, is temporarily stored in log files on our server for the purposes of website operation. This is information that your device's browser automatically sends. It is stored on servers in Switzerland. The IP address is anonymised so that the user cannot be identified.

c. Cookies

We use cookies, tags and similar technologies on the website to offer you the best possible user experience and to help us improve the website. Cookies are text files that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or use an app.

Some of the cookies we use are necessary to provide certain functions of the website. In addition, we use cookies to analyse the use of the website and to obtain information to optimise the website. You can find out more about the use of our cookies by using the cookie preference tool implemented on the website.

d. Matomo

We use 'Matomo' on this website for statistical analysis. This is an open-source tool for web analysis. With Matomo, no data is transmitted to servers that are outside our control.

Matomo uses cookies (see above). The usage information obtained by the cookie is transmitted to our server and stored so that usage behaviour can be evaluated. Your IP address is immediately anonymised, so that you remain anonymous as a user. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is not passed on to third parties.

We see this analysis as part of the Internet service. We would like to use it to further improve the website and adapt it even more to the needs of users.

e. Vimeo

Our website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a Vimeo plugin, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also obtains your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo or do not have a Vimeo account. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA. If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to assign your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.

4. Data Transfer / Data Transmission

We generally only pass on personal data if this is necessary for the operation of our website, the provision of our own services, the processing of your enquiry, compliance with legal obligations or the protection of our legitimate interests, or if you have consented to the transfer.

Recipients may include in particular:

technical service providers and IT providers,
providers of analysis, hosting or communication services,
third-party providers requested or selected by you, insofar as a referral or contact initiation takes place via our website,
authorities or other bodies, insofar as we are legally obliged to do so.

If you access offerings of third-party providers via our website or are redirected to them, the respective third-party provider may independently process personal data. The respective third-party provider is responsible for such processing.

Insofar as technical allocation or tracking parameters are used for referrals, these serve technical processing, reach measurement or attribution of the source of origin. No directly identifying personal data is transferred in this process.

Recipients may also be located abroad. If data is transferred to a country without an adequate level of data protection, we take appropriate contractual or organisational protective measures where necessary.

5. Information Offerings, Contact Forms and Calculators

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process the contact details you provide as well as information about the sending, receipt and use of the newsletter in order to provide it to you, document its delivery and improve our information offering. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Contact Forms and Electronic Enquiries

If you fill out a contact form or contact us by e-mail or other electronic means, we process your information to handle your enquiry, for further communication with you and, where applicable, to document the process.

Tools and Calculators

We provide various tools and calculators on our website. Processing is based on the information you voluntarily enter and the technical usage data generated during use.

The information entered via our tools is generally used to provide the respective function, for statistical evaluation in aggregated or pseudonymised form, to improve our offerings and, where applicable, to process an enquiry initiated by you.

Comparison and Analysis Functions

Our comparison and analysis functions can be used in whole or in part without user registration. Where no registration is required, we generally only process the information you enter, technical usage data and, where applicable, pseudonymised analysis information in this context.

Where registration or contact details are exceptionally required for individual functions, we will inform you separately in the respective usage context.

Referrals to Third-Party Providers

If, in the context of our information, comparison or tool offerings, you click on an offering of a third-party provider or are redirected to one, the third-party provider may process its own personal data from that point onwards. The third-party provider is solely responsible for processing on its website.

6. Evaluations and Statistics in Connection with the Use of Our Web Pages

We do not use service providers to analyse the behaviour of visitors to our online offering, but use our own programmes or the Matomo programme (see above). These receive log data and other online data from our websites and use cookies and similar technologies to collect online data about our online offering.

7. Data Security / Encryption

We take appropriate technical and organisational security precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorised access and misuse. To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we protect our website with state-of-the-art encryption methods. As complete data security cannot be guaranteed for communication by e-mail, we recommend that you choose a secure form of transmission for confidential information.

8. Duration of Storage

Your data will only be stored for as long as is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations or for the purposes pursued with the processing, as well as beyond that in accordance with the legal storage and documentation obligations.
