1. Introduction

Based on the Swiss Federal Constitution and applicable data protection laws (including the Swiss Data Protection Act and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation), every individual is entitled to privacy and protection against the misuse of their personal data. We take your data privacy seriously and treat your personal information confidentially and in accordance with all relevant legal requirements. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., via email) may have vulnerabilities, and a complete guarantee of security cannot be provided.

By using our website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of data as described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Data Processing

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Processing includes any operation performed on personal data such as storage, retrieval, transfer, deletion, and alteration.

We process personal data in compliance with Swiss data protection law. Where the EU GDPR applies, processing is based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: Where you have given your explicit consent.
• Contractual Necessity: For the performance of a contract with you or to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
• Legal Obligation: Where processing is required to comply with legal obligations.
• Vital Interests: Where processing is necessary to protect the life or physical integrity of a person.
• Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided that your rights and interests do not override these interests.

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it is collected or as required by law.

3. Cookies

Our website uses only technically necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of our site and ensure that you receive the best possible user experience. We do not use cookies for marketing, tracking, or social media integrations. If you do not wish to accept cookies, please adjust your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that some features of our website may not function properly without them.

4. hCaptcha Usage

To protect our website against bots and spam during new server registrations, we use hCaptcha. This is the only third-party service we employ for such purposes. hCaptcha processes a limited set of data solely for security and anti-abuse purposes. For more details on how hCaptcha handles your data, please consult their privacy policy.

5. SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the confidentiality of data transmitted to and from our website (such as messages sent via our contact form), we use SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” in the browser’s address bar along with a lock symbol.

6. Server Log Files

Our website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files when you access the site. This information includes:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL
• Hostname of the accessing device
• Date and time of access

This data is collected solely for statistical purposes and to improve our website’s functionality. It is not linked to specific individuals.

7. Contact Forms and Inquiries

If you contact us via our contact form, the information you provide—including any contact details—will be used solely to process your inquiry and, if necessary, to respond to follow-up questions. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

8. Your Rights

• Right of Confirmation: To ask whether we are processing your data.
