Privacy Policy

The following privacy policy applies to the use of our website as well as the services offered on it. This privacy policy informs you about the collection of personal data during your visit to this website. By using this website, you agree to the processing of your personal data in accordance with this privacy policy.

The collection and processing of your personal data is carried out in compliance with the applicable data protection laws and requirements. Otherwise, the medical practice rejects any liability for the use of this website.

Basically, our medical practice only offers its services in Switzerland and is only aimed at persons residing in Switzerland.

Collection of general data and information

With each call of the website, a number of general data and information are collected. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following can be recorded: (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our IT infrastructure. These data cannot be directly assigned to specific persons. A merging of these data with other data sources is not carried out. We reserve the right to check these data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use. These data as well as all data of this website are stored with our hosting provider Metanet AG, Josefstrasse 218, CH-8005 Zurich, whose privacy policy you can find here

These data and information are required to (1) correctly display the contents of our website, (2) optimise the contents of our website, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our IT infrastructure and the technology of our website, and (4) provide the necessary information to law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyber attack. Furthermore, our medical practice can evaluate these data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of its IT infrastructure. The collected data and information are only processed for the aforementioned purposes and are then deleted.

Links to other websites

This website may contain links to websites of other providers. Our medical practice has no influence on these websites, their content, offers or availability, or the privacy policies and regulations applicable there. Therefore, it rejects any liability.

Cookies and other service offers

Our medical practice may use cookies on its website. Cookies contain a so-called cookie ID, a unique identifier of the cookie, which assigns websites and servers to a specific internet browser. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified again via this unique cookie ID. Such information about the use of this website (including your IP address) can, for example, be transmitted to servers abroad in the case of Google Analytics and stored there. By using our website, you agree to the transfer of this data. Our medical practice may use other service offers from third-party providers to integrate their content and services such as videos or posts into the website. Such integration always requires that these third-party providers can collect and process the IP address and other information of visitors to this website. By using our website, you agree to this.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

More information on handling user data at Google Analytics can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Google Fonts

Google Fonts are used on this website. To our knowledge, no personal data is stored by Google in this context. However, for technical reasons, your IP address must be transmitted to Google so that the fonts can be delivered to your browser. More information from Google about Google Fonts can be found here.

Update: Since 1 July 2023, the Google Fonts of our websites are loaded locally from our web server.

Google reCaptcha

We use the Google service reCaptcha to determine whether a human or a computer is making a specific entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google checks the following data to determine whether you are a human or a computer: IP address of the device used, the website you visit with us on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the identification data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged into Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas as well as tasks where you have to identify images. The legal basis for the described data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on our part in this data processing to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated entries (attacks).

Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API, a map service from Google Inc. ("Google"), to display an interactive map. By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) can be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may pass on the information obtained through Analytics & Maps to third parties if required by law or insofar as third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will never associate your IP address with other data from Google. Nevertheless, it would be technically possible for Google to identify at least individual users based on the data received. It is possible that personal data and personality profiles of users of the website could be processed by Google for other purposes over which we have no influence and cannot have any. This and the fact that data is transmitted to the USA is problematic from a data protection perspective. You have the option to easily deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent data transfer to Google: To do this, disable JavaScript in your browser. However, we point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display. By using this website and not deactivating the JavaScript function, you expressly declare, aware of the data protection issues, that you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner described above and for the purpose stated above.

SSL encryption

This page uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser line. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
