3. No Data Collection
We believe in data minimization. We do not collect, store, or process any personal data from our visitors, except for the following cases:
Newsletters: We offer an optional newsletter. If you subscribe, we collect your email address, and optionally your first name and surname, solely for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. You may unsubscribe at any time from within the newsletters or by contacting us as described above, after which your data will be deleted.
Tracking and Cookies: We only use cookies that are unavoidable to run the website. These are deleted after you leave the website (session cookies). Otherwise this website does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or any analytical tools (such as Google Analytics).
Server Log Files: When you access this website, the hosting provider may automatically collect information that your browser transmits (server log files). This typically includes:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
This data is technically necessary to ensure system security. We do not merge this data with other data sources, and we do not use it to identify individuals. Server log files will be stored for 12 months after your visit and deleted afterwards.
4. Disclosure to Third Parties
Except for the cases mentioned below, no personal data is shared with, sold to, or processed by third parties, be it for marketing or other purposes.
We engage third-party data processors to host our website and to distribute newsletters. Both hosting and e-mail distribution are provided from within Switzerland. Third-party processors are bound by data processing agreements as required by the law.
