Privacy policy

Controller

The controller responsible for the processing of personal data in connection with this website is:

If you have any questions about data protection or the processing of your personal data, you can contact us using the contact details above.

General processing of personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

We only process personal data to the extent necessary to operate our website, communicate with prospective and existing customers, handle enquiries and carry out our business activities.

This may include, in particular, the following data:

• Name and contact details such as email address and phone number
• Content of messages and enquiries
• IP address and technical connection data
• Browser type, operating system and device information
• Date and time of access
• Pages or resources accessed
• Other data that you provide to us voluntarily

Hosting and server log files

Our website is based on WordPress and is hosted by GoDaddy.

When you visit our website, the hosting infrastructure may automatically collect technical data and store it in server log files. This may include, in particular, the IP address, date and time of access, page or file accessed, browser information, operating system and technical information about the connection.

This data is needed in particular to provide the website technically, to ensure its stability and security, and to detect technical errors and abusive access.

As part of providing hosting services, data may also be processed by GoDaddy and its subprocessors. GoDaddy lists, among others, Amazon Web Services as an infrastructure and network service provider (see GoDaddy's list of subprocessors).

Contact form

We provide a contact form on our website.

If you use this form, we process the information you enter. This includes, in particular, your name, email address, phone number if provided, and the content of your message.

The data provided is used to process your enquiry, to contact you and, where applicable, to initiate or conduct a business relationship.

Providing your phone number is voluntary unless it is expressly marked as a required field in the form.

The information submitted via the contact form is not used for third-party advertising purposes without a corresponding purpose.

Email communication and Microsoft

We use FluentSMTP for the technical transmission of emails from our WordPress website. Email sending is connected to our Microsoft/Outlook email system.

If you contact us via the contact form, the information you provide may therefore be processed on Microsoft systems as part of email communication.

Microsoft states that for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited generally acts as the controller for the products covered by the Microsoft privacy statement. Microsoft names Microsoft Schweiz GmbH in Zurich Airport as its Swiss representative.

Spam and abuse protection

To protect our forms against automated spam messages and misuse, we use WP Armour – Honeypot Anti Spam.

This uses so-called honeypot techniques, which allow automated entries to be detected without website visitors having to solve a classic CAPTCHA, for example.

The processing serves in particular to protect our website and communication systems against spam and automated attacks.

Cookies and technically necessary functions

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored in the browser or on the device of a website visitor. They may be necessary in particular to provide technical functions of the website, save settings or ensure the security and stability of the website.

Where technically necessary cookies are used, they serve in particular to provide the website and keep it functioning.

You can configure your browser to restrict or block cookies. However, this may mean that some functions of a website no longer work fully.

Caching

We use WP Super Cache to improve the loading speed and technical performance of our website.

Website content is cached so that it can be delivered more quickly on subsequent visits. This serves the technical optimisation and efficient delivery of our website.

Multilingual content

We use Polylang to provide our website in several languages.

The plugin enables different language versions of our content to be managed and displayed. Where technical settings are stored, they serve in particular to provide the language version requested by the visitor.

Embedded content and external links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.

If you follow such a link, you leave our website. The respective operators are generally responsible for the processing of personal data on external websites.

Should external content such as videos, maps, social media content or other services be embedded directly into our website in future, a connection to the respective provider's servers may be established. This privacy policy will be updated accordingly in the event of significant changes to the services we use.

Data transfers abroad

When using external service providers, personal data may also be processed outside Switzerland.

With our current technical infrastructure, this concerns in particular international providers such as GoDaddy and Microsoft and, where applicable, their subprocessors.

For such transfers, we ensure that the requirements of the applicable data protection law are met. These may include, in particular, adequacy decisions, recognised data protection frameworks or contractual data protection safeguards.

GoDaddy states that it participates in the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (GoDaddy notice). Microsoft also declares its participation in the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Microsoft privacy statement).

Retention period

We generally store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective processing purpose or as required by statutory retention obligations.

Enquiries submitted via the contact form and related correspondence may be retained in particular for as long as necessary to process the enquiry, for any resulting business relationship, for documentation purposes or to meet legal obligations.

The data is then deleted or anonymised, unless there are legal or legitimate grounds for further retention.

Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or unauthorised disclosure.

Our website is transmitted in particular via an encrypted HTTPS connection.

Despite appropriate security measures, absolute security cannot be guaranteed when transmitting data over the internet.

Your rights

Persons whose personal data we process have various rights under the applicable data protection law.

These may include, in particular, the following rights:

• Access to the personal data processed
• Rectification of inaccurate data
• Disclosure or transfer of certain data
• Erasure of personal data in accordance with legal requirements

To exercise your rights, you can contact us:

Changes to this privacy policy

We may amend this privacy policy if our website, the technologies we use, our services or the legal requirements change.

The current version published on this website applies.
