Personal Data We Process

Depending on how you use this website, we may process:

• Server log data (e.g. IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, date and time of access), collected automatically when you visit the site.
• Contact form data (e.g. name, email address and the content of your message) that you provide voluntarily.
• Usage data collected through web analytics (see “Web Analytics” below).

Hosting and Server Log Files

This website is hosted by Netlify (Netlify, Inc., USA). When you access the site, the hosting provider automatically processes technical connection data (server log files) that your browser transmits. This is required to deliver the site and to ensure its stability and security, and is based on our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient operation of the website.

This may involve the transfer of data to the USA (see “Data Transfers Abroad”).

Contact Form

If you contact us through the contact form, the data you enter (such as your name, email address and message) is processed solely to handle your enquiry and any resulting follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on to third parties without your consent.

The legal basis is your consent and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by contacting us.

Web Analytics (Google Analytics)

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyse how visitors use the site. The information generated (including a shortened/anonymised IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google, including on servers in the USA.

We use this data on the basis of your consent to understand and improve how the website is used. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via your cookie settings.

You can also prevent collection by the Google Analytics browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Further information is available in Google’s privacy policy.

Bot Protection (Cloudflare Turnstile)

To protect our forms from spam and automated misuse, we use Cloudflare Turnstile, a service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. (USA). Turnstile analyses technical information from your browser (such as device and browser characteristics) to distinguish human visitors from bots.

This processing is based on our legitimate interest in protecting the website and its forms. Further information can be found in Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Cookies

This website uses cookies. Strictly necessary cookies are required for basic functionality. Analytics and other non-essential cookies are only set with your consent.

You can manage or withdraw your cookie consent at any time and delete existing cookies in your browser settings.

Data Transfers Abroad

Some of the services we use (Netlify, Google, Cloudflare) may process data outside Switzerland, including in the USA. Where this is the case, we ensure an adequate level of data protection through appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses or an applicable adequacy decision.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Once the purpose no longer applies and no legal retention obligation exists, the data is deleted.

• Right to information about the personal data we process.
• Right to rectification of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure and to restriction of processing.
