Privacy policy

1. Controller

The body named below is responsible for the processing of personal data within the meaning of the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP). For data protection enquiries you can reach us using the contact details given.

2. Principles

We process personal data in accordance with the principles of good faith, lawfulness and proportionality. We collect only the data we actually need for the respective purpose, and retain it only as long as necessary.

Where you pass us personal data relating to third parties, please make sure those people are aware of this privacy policy.

3. What data we process

When you visit this website, the hosting provider records technically necessary access data in server log files. This data does not allow any direct conclusions about your identity and is not combined with other sources.

If you contact us, we process the details you send in order to answer your enquiry and deal with the matter.

• Access data: IP address, date and time, page requested, volume of data transferred, browser type and operating system
• Contact data: name, email address, telephone number and the content of your message
• Mandate data: information you provide to us in the course of advice

4. Purposes of processing

We process personal data in order to provide and deliver our services, to answer enquiries, to meet legal obligations, in particular supervisory, accounting and retention requirements, and to ensure the technical operation and security of this website.

5. Cookies, tracking and fonts

This website uses no analytics, tracking or advertising cookies and embeds no third-party services for analytics purposes.

Fonts are served exclusively from our own server. No connection is therefore made to external font services, and no associated transfer of your IP address to third parties takes place.

6. Hosting and processors

We use a hosting provider as a processor to operate this website. The provider processes personal data solely on our instructions and is contractually bound to appropriate data security and confidentiality.

7. Disclosure to third parties and transfer abroad

Your data is disclosed to third parties only where this is necessary to deliver the service, where you have consented, or where we are required to do so by law, for example to insurance companies, pension institutions or authorities in the course of a mandate.

Where data is transferred to countries without an adequate level of data protection, we ensure appropriate protection through suitable safeguards, in particular standard contractual clauses.

8. Retention period

We retain personal data for as long as the purpose of processing, statutory retention obligations or the protection of legitimate interests require. Business and accounting records are subject to the ten-year retention obligation under the Swiss Code of Obligations. Data is then deleted or anonymised.

9. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss and misuse. This website is transmitted encrypted over TLS.

Please note that unencrypted email is not a secure means of transmission. For confidential documents we provide a protected transmission channel on request.

10. Your rights

Within the scope of applicable data protection law you have the following rights. A message to the contact address given above is sufficient to exercise them; we may request proof of your identity.

• Information about the data processed about you
• Correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion or destruction of data
• Release or transfer of your data in a common electronic format
• Objection to processing and withdrawal of consent given

11. Right to complain

You have the right to complain to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). Where the GDPR applies, you additionally have the right to complain to a competent supervisory authority in the European Economic Area.

12. Changes to this privacy policy

We may amend this privacy policy at any time. The version published on this website at the relevant time applies.
