Please note: By using our website and providing us with your personal data, you acknowledge that your personal data will be processed as described in this privacy policy.

Note: The foregoing does not constitute “consent” to the processing of your personal data. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we will not rely on the legal ground of consent to process your personal data.

3.) From whom do we collect personal data?

Within the scope of our services, we may collect personal data concerning visitors to the website as well as concerning persons who make an appointment with the help of our website itself. The same applies in the case of registration for an appointment by third parties.

We may collect information about you in various ways when you visit our website:
– automatically as soon as you visit our website, for example, when data is automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the website;
– directly from you when you visit our website, which may include information you provide to us using contact forms available on the website;
– in other ways, for example by means of cookies.

5.) What personal data do we collect and for what purposes do we use it?


We collect the following information about you and use it for the following purposes:


Personal data: Purposes:
– Your contact details (name, address, phone number, email address or other contact details): Booking appointments, appointment reminders, registration, issuing invoices.
– Your IP address and browsing behavior: Improvement and optimization of our website.
– Technical data (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time of page view), which relate to you: Ensuring error-free provision of our website and analysis purposes.

We process the data marked with an asterisk in order to provide a service to our customers. For the other processing, we rely on the protection of our legitimate interests.

6.) To whom do we disclose your personal data?

For the purposes listed above, we may disclose your personal data to service providers with whom we work (e.g. IT service providers or marketing agencies). Your personal data may also be disclosed to other group companies and owners for analysis purposes.

To ensure the protection of your personal data, we will, where necessary, ensure that appropriate contractual safeguards exist when we disclose your personal data to a third party. For example, we will enter into data processing agreements with relevant third parties (to agree on restrictions on the use of your personal data and obligations regarding the protection and security of your personal data).

The third parties to whom we disclose your personal data as described above are generally located in Switzerland or in countries within the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Exceptionally, they may also be located in countries outside the EEA and Switzerland where a lower level of data protection than in the EEA and Switzerland prevails. In such cases, in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, we ensure that adequate measures are taken to ensure adequate protection of your personal data. In particular, we will enter into standard data protection clauses with the relevant third parties, which are established, respectively recognized by the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (“FDPIC”).

Your personal data and/or personal profile will not be rented or sold to third parties.

7.) How long do we store your personal data?

Your personal data will not be stored for longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed (we refer to the purposes listed above under Title 5). We will only store your personal data longer if we are legally obliged to do so, or if it is necessary to defend our interests in the context of a legal dispute (judicial or extrajudicial).

8.) How do we protect your personal data?

In view of the risks we have identified, we will take appropriate administrative, technical and organizational measures to ensure sufficient security of your personal data. We protect personal data that is transmitted, stored or otherwise processed against destruction, loss and alteration, as well as against unauthorized disclosure and access. In particular, we have converted the website to the HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) protocol.

We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

In addition, we take care to ensure that the personal data we process is correct and up to date. For this reason, we ask that you inform us of any changes to your personal data (such as regarding your contact details) so that we can send you appointment reminders and invoices, for example.

You have the following rights at any time and basically free of charge within the framework of applicable data protection law:
– Information and disclosure about your personal data;
– Correction of your personal data;
– Deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”);
– Restriction of the processing of your personal data;
– Objection to the processing of your personal data;
– Data portability, which means receiving your personal data in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and transferring this data to another company.

To learn more about these rights and their conditions of applicability, in particular regarding the right to object, please read the Annex.

Finally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority FDPIC (Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, Feldeggweg 1, CH-3005 Berne) in connection with the processing of your personal data undertaken by us.

10.) Use of cookies and social network plug-ins.

Some services process personal data in unsecure third countries. By consenting to the use of these services, you also consent to the processing of your data in these unsecure third countries in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR and Art. 17 (1) lit. a DSG. This involves risks that your data will be processed by authorities for control and monitoring purposes, perhaps without the possibility of a legal recourse.


The data processing may take place with your consent or on the basis of a legitimate interest, which you can object to in the privacy settings. You have the right not to consent and to change or revoke your consent at a later time.


The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.

Further, they allow us to use the “share buttons” of the social networks (e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook etc.). You can find more information regarding this in the privacy policy of your social network providers.
