Purpose of Data Processing

We process your data exclusively for the following purposes:

Contact: When you use our contact form, we use your information to respond to you and provide you with relevant information.
Website operation and security: Technical data such as IP address and browser type are collected to ensure proper operation and protection against misuse.
Analysis and improvement: Anonymised usage data helps us improve our website and optimise user experience.

Legal Basis

The processing of your personal data is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP, revised version of 1 September 2023). The legal basis is your consent (Art. 31 para. 1 FADP), which you give by actively using our website and submitting the contact form. For the technical operation of the website, we rely on our overriding legitimate interest in a secure and functional website.

Third Parties and Data Transfer

We use the following third-party providers who may have access to personal data:

Hosting: Our website is operated by a specialised hosting provider. This provider processes the technically necessary data (IP address, access times) within the framework of a data processing agreement.
Email service: For the delivery of emails and the processing of contact form requests, we use a professional email service.
Fonts: We use Google Fonts for the display of fonts. When loading a page, a connection to servers of Google LLC is established, during which your IP address is transmitted. Further information can be found in Google's Privacy Policy.

Where data is transferred to providers outside Switzerland, we ensure an adequate level of data protection through appropriate contractual guarantees (in particular EU standard contractual clauses).
