Disclaimer
The author accepts no liability for the correctness, accuracy, currency, reliability and completeness of the information provided. Liability claims against the author for damages of a material or immaterial nature arising from access to or use or non-use of the published information, misuse of the connection or technical faults are excluded.
All offers are non-binding. The author expressly reserves the right to change, supplement or delete parts of the pages or the entire offer without prior notice or to cease publication temporarily or permanently. The use of or access to this website is at the visitor's own risk. The publisher, its clients or partners are not responsible for damages, such as direct, indirect, accidental, pre-determined or consequential damages, which are allegedly caused by visiting this website and therefore accept no liability for them.

Liability for links
References and links to third-party websites lie outside our area of responsibility. Any responsibility for such websites is rejected. Access to and use of such websites is at the user's own risk. The operators of the linked websites are solely responsible for their content. We therefore expressly distance ourselves from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or offend common decency.

Copyright
The copyright and all other rights to content, images, photos or other files on the website belong exclusively to Kilchenmann AG or the specifically named rights holders. The written consent of the copyright holders must be obtained in advance for the reproduction of any elements.

Data protection

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions.
Personal data is treated as strictly confidential and is neither sold nor passed on to third parties.
In close cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavor to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet can generally be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is therefore not possible. However, we make every effort to keep our website up to date with the latest security standards.

Data processing within the IDS Group

Kilchenmann AG is part of the IDS Group, to which several independent companies belong.
As part of this group affiliation, personal data is sometimes processed jointly within the group, particularly in the following areas:

Central CRM system (shared customer data management)
Central server and IT infrastructure (shared hosting and data storage systems)
Marketing and communication (cross-group newsletters, campaigns and website management)

Joint data processing is used exclusively for the efficient and uniform handling of business processes, customer support and central communication within IDS Group.
All IDS Group companies undertake to comply with the Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG) and - where applicable - the EU GDPR.
Personal data will not be passed on to third parties outside IDS Group unless this is required by law or necessary for the performance of a contract.
Access to data is only permitted to authorized persons who need it to perform their duties ("need-to-know principle").

When you access our website, the following data is stored in log files:

Contact forms, comments and newsletters

When visitors post comments on the website, we collect the data entered in the comment form, as well as the visitor's IP address and the user agent string (to support spam detection).
An anonymized character string (hash) can be created from the email address and transferred to the Gravatar service if this is used. Once the comment has been approved, the profile picture (if used) is publicly visible in the context of the comment.
When using the contact form or registering for the newsletter, the data entered will be used exclusively to process the inquiry or send the newsletter.

Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's end device and contain specific information relating to the user. They are used to measure the frequency of use and number of users of the pages and to make our offer more customer-friendly.
If you do not wish this, you can set your browser so that it does not accept cookies.
You can delete cookies that have already been saved at any time in your browser settings.
If you write a comment on our website, this can be understood as consent to save your name, email address and website in cookies. These are used for user-friendliness so that you do not have to enter this information again. These cookies are usually deleted after one year.

SSL encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries via the contact form.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and a lock symbol is displayed.
If SSL encryption is active, the transmitted data cannot be read by third parties.

Embedded content from other websites

Posts on this website may contain embedded content from other websites (e.g. videos, images, posts). This content behaves as if you were visiting the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services and record your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to this website.
