2. General Principle

We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and its implementing ordinance (DPO). Personal data is only processed to the extent necessary for operating this website and our services, or to the extent that you have consented to processing.

3. Website Provision / Server Log Files

When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically collects technical information in the form of server log files transmitted by your browser (e.g. browser type, operating system used, referrer URL, time of the server request and IP address). This data is used solely to ensure smooth operation and technical security of our website and is not merged with other data sources.

4. Contact Form

If you send us an enquiry via the contact form, we use the data you provide (e.g. name, email address, phone number, message) solely to process your enquiry and for any follow-up questions. This data will not be shared with third parties without your consent, unless this is necessary to process the enquiry (e.g. internal forwarding to our email inbox).

5. Cookies

This website currently does not use cookies for analytics, marketing or tracking purposes. Should such services (e.g. web analytics) be used in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly and, where required, consent will be obtained.

6. Data Transfer Abroad

Where data is transferred to providers abroad as part of operating this website (e.g. hosting or software providers), we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is maintained – for example through providers in countries recognised as having adequate data protection by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), or through appropriate contractual safeguards.

7. Your Rights

Under Swiss data protection law, you have in particular the right to:

  • request information on whether and which data we process about you,
  • request the correction of inaccurate data,
  • request the deletion of your data under certain conditions,
  • object to the processing of your data,
  • receive a copy of your data in a common electronic format.

To exercise these rights, an informal message to the contact address given above is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) if you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law.

8. Retention Period

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the respective purpose or as required by statutory retention periods.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services.
