General notice

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. In doing so, data such as the pages accessed or the name of the file retrieved, and the date and time, are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly linked to you personally. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Processing of personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person whose personal data is processed. Processing covers any handling of personal data, irrespective of the means and procedures used, in particular the retention, disclosure, procurement, deletion, storage, alteration, destruction and use of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. In addition, where and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data on the basis of the following legal grounds in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR:

  • Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data relating to them for one or more specific purposes.
  • Performance of a contract and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract at the request of the data subject.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR) – Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  • Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR) – Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data.
  • Application procedure as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR) – Where, in the course of the application process, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants so that the controller or the data subject can exercise their rights and fulfil their obligations under employment law and the law of social security and social protection, such data is processed pursuant to Art. 9(2)(b) GDPR; in the case of protecting the vital interests of applicants or other persons, pursuant to Art. 9(2)(c) GDPR; or, for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for assessing the employee's working capacity, for medical diagnosis, the provision of health or social care or treatment, or the management of health or social care systems and services, pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) GDPR. Where special categories of data are disclosed on the basis of voluntary consent, they are processed on the basis of Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR.

We process personal data for the period required for the respective purpose or purposes. Where longer retention obligations apply owing to statutory or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing. Where the legal basis is not stated in the privacy policy, the following applies: the legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR; the legal basis for processing to provide our services, carry out contractual measures and respond to enquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR; and the legal basis for processing to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

In accordance with the statutory requirements, and taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing, as well as the differing likelihood of occurrence and the severity of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access to it, its input, its transfer, the safeguarding of its availability and its separation. We have also established procedures to ensure that data subjects' rights can be exercised, that data can be deleted and that we can respond to threats to the data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account already during the development and selection of hardware, software and procedures, in line with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

Transfer of personal data

In the course of processing personal data, it may happen that the data is transferred to, or disclosed to, other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or individuals. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks, or providers of services and content that are embedded in a website. In such cases, we comply with the statutory requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect it.

Data processing in third countries

Where we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or where processing takes place in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to other individuals, bodies or companies, this is done only in accordance with the statutory requirements.

Subject to explicit consent or transmission required by contract or by law, we process data in third countries only where there is a recognised level of data protection, a contractual obligation through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, certifications, or binding corporate rules (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR; information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

Privacy policy for cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie serves primarily to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online service. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping basket or the point at which a video was watched. We also include under the term cookies other technologies that fulfil the same functions as cookies (e.g. where user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as «user IDs»)

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest once a user has left an online service and closed their browser.
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. This allows, among other things, the login status to be saved or preferred content to be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, the interests of users, which are used for audience measurement or marketing purposes, can be stored in such a cookie.
  • First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us ourselves.
  • Third-party cookies: Third-party cookies are used mainly by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  • Necessary (also: essential or strictly required) cookies: Cookies may, on the one hand, be strictly necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to store logins or other user input, or for security reasons).
  • Statistics, marketing and personalisation cookies: Furthermore, cookies are generally also used for audience measurement and whenever a user's interests or behaviour (e.g. viewing certain content, using certain functions, etc.) on individual websites are stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to show users content that matches their potential interests. This procedure is also referred to as «tracking», i.e. following the potential interests of users. Where we use cookies or «tracking» technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy policy or when obtaining your consent.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask for your consent. If we do and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the commercial operation of our online offering and its improvement) or, where the use of cookies is necessary, in order to fulfil our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we give you explicit information on the storage period of persistent cookies (e.g. as part of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period may be up to two years.

General notes on withdrawal and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether processing is based on consent or on a legal permission, you may at any time withdraw any consent you have given or object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (collectively referred to as «opt-out»). You can first declare your objection via your browser settings, e.g. by disabling the use of cookies (although this may also restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ can be declared. In addition, you may find further information on objecting in the details provided on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure through which users' consent to the use of cookies, or to the processing operations and providers named within that procedure, is obtained and can be managed and withdrawn by users. The declaration of consent is stored so that the request does not have to be repeated and so that consent can be proven as required by law. Storage may take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (a so-called opt-in cookie, or by means of comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information on the providers of cookie management services, the following applies: consent may be stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored together with the time of consent, information on the scope of the consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) and the browser, system and end device used.

  • Types of data processed: usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
  • Data subjects: users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Legal bases: consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR).

Privacy policy for SSL/TLS encryption

For reasons of security and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from «http» to «https» and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Privacy policy for server log files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Third-party services

This website may use Google Maps for embedding maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA for protection against bots and spam, and YouTube for embedding videos.

These services of the American company Google LLC use, among other things, cookies, and as a result data is transmitted to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context solely through the use of our website.

Google has committed to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the US-EU and US-Swiss Privacy Shield.

Further information can be found in the Google privacy policy.

Privacy policy for the contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Privacy policy for newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, and to their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe link” in the newsletter.

Support list for the fireworks initiative

Anyone who signs up on the «Yes for Wild Animals» page provides a first name and an email address. Only the number of people voting for each wild animal is published, never names. We delete the entries no later than three months after the vote of 29 November 2026. The exception is addresses that have expressly subscribed to the newsletter. Deletion can be requested at any time via the contact form.

Privacy policy for the comment function on this website

For the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, we also store the time the comment was created, your email address and, if you are not posting anonymously, the username you have chosen.

Storage of IP addresses

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. As we do not review comments on our site before they are published, we need this data in order to take action against the author in the event of legal infringements such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the info emails.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant subpage of our website. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in, or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish this data to be linked to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of its website. Such an analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact Google. Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

We use «Google reCAPTCHA» (hereinafter «reCAPTCHA») on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter «Google». reCAPTCHA is intended to verify whether data entered on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is entered by a human being or by an automated programme. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g. IP address, the length of time the visitor spends on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and from spam. For further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy, please see the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.

Privacy policy for Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

The statistics we obtain allow us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there, under “My data”, “Personal data”.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data held by Google. Please note that on this website Google Analytics has been extended with the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure that IP addresses are collected in anonymised form. As a result, IP addresses are processed further only in truncated form, so that any link to a specific person can be ruled out. Where the data collected about you has a personal reference, this is therefore excluded immediately and the personal data is deleted without delay.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 the website operator with further services relating to website and internet usage.

Google Analytics uses cookies. 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. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, please note 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 the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics.

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This stores a so-called opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, meaning that you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue to prevent this form of data collection. Opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.

Privacy policy for the use of Google Web Fonts

To ensure a consistent display of fonts, this website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font on your computer will be used.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags through a single interface and thus integrate, for example, Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offering. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of users. With regard to the processing of users' personal data, please refer to the following information on the Google services. Terms of use: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Privacy policy for Pinterest

On this website we use social plugins of the social network Pinterest, which is operated by Pinterest Inc., 808 Brannan Street San Francisco, CA 94103-490, USA (“Pinterest”).
