The SPF and its subsidiaries take the protection of personal data very seriously. As per Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection regulations of the Swiss Confederation and its cantons (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP), each individual is entitled to the protection of their privacy, as well as to protection against the misuse of their personal data. We treat all personal data with the utmost confidentiality, and neither sell nor pass this data on to third parties.

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are permanently or temporarily (maximum two years) saved on your computer when you visit a website. In particular, cookies enable us to perform a statistical analysis of how this website is used and continue to make improvements.
At any time, you can fully or partially enable or disable cookies in the settings of your browser. By disabling cookies, however, you will no longer be able to use all the features of this website.

2.2 Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to allow your use of this website to be analysed. The information created by a cookie with regard to your use of this website (including your IP address) is sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. The SPF, however, is unable to see your IP address.

This website has enabled IP anonymisation. As a result, Google will shorten your IP address before it is sent to entities within the European Union or other nations included in the Agreement on the European Economic Area. On rare occasions, your entire IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google uses this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on the website’s activity for the website operator and to provide further services associated with the use of the website and Internet. Google may also pass this information on to third parties, provided that this is permitted by law or that third parties have been hired by Google to process the data.
Under no circumstances will Google link your shortened IP address to other Google data. If you wish to disable Google Analytics, you can do so at: (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).

2.3 Facebook retargeting

This website uses the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function offered by Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This function allows the visitors of this website to be presented with personalised ads (“Facebook Ads") while visiting the social networking site Facebook. Facebook’s remarketing tag has been added to this website for this purpose. This tag allows for a direct connection to be established to Facebook’s servers when you visit the website. As a result, Facebook’s servers will learn that you visited this website, and pair this information with your Facebook account. Please note that as the provider of this website, we receive no knowledge of the content that is transmitted, nor of how Facebook uses it.
