We value your right to privacy and strive to protect your data by applicable data protection legislation in each relevant country, including the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (known as revFADP), effective as of 1 September 2023.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us (see section 1 below).

Our website may contain links to websites or services not controlled by us (third-party services). Such third-party services are provided by other persons (third parties), and their personal data processing practices may differ from ours; we encourage you to read the privacy notices of such third parties to be aware of how they use personal information.
