2. Data We Collect and Why

We process different types of data for specific purposes.

a) Information You Provide Directly

Contact Forms & Email: When you contact us via a form or email, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message to respond to your inquiry.
Newsletter Subscription: When you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you updates, articles, and offers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email.
Workshop/Service Registration: When you register for a service, we collect the necessary information to fulfill our contractual obligations, such as your name, contact details, and company information.

b) Data Collected Automatically (Server Log Files)

When you visit our website, our hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files. This data includes:

IP address
Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL (the page you came from)
Hostname of the accessing computer
Date and time of the server request

This data is not merged with other data sources and helps ensure the security and stability of our website.

c) Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and analytics tools to understand how our website is used and to improve your experience.

Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function correctly.
Analytics Cookies: These help us analyze user behavior. We only use these with your explicit consent, typically managed through a cookie banner.

We use the following analytics services:

Google Analytics (Google LLC, USA): We use this service to analyze website traffic. We have enabled IP anonymization, so your IP address is truncated by Google within the EU/EEA before being sent to the US. Data transfer to the USA is secured through EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and you can opt-out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Plausible Analytics (Plausible Insights OÜ, Estonia): This is a privacy-focused analytics tool that does not use cookies or collect personal data. All data is processed in aggregate on servers within the EU.

You can manage your cookie preferences through our website's consent banner or by adjusting your browser settings.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data based on the following legal grounds:

Consent (Art. 31 FADP / Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): For sending newsletters and for using non-essential analytics cookies (Google).
Contract Fulfillment (Art. 31 FADP / Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR): To provide the services you requested, such as consulting or workshop participation.
Legitimate Interest (Art. 31 FADP / Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): For ensuring the security of our website (server log files), responding to general inquiries, and improving our services.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with trusted service providers who help us operate our business, such as hosting, email, and analytics providers.

Your data may be transferred to countries outside of Switzerland and the EU, specifically the USA (e.g., Google Analytics). For such transfers, we ensure an adequate level of data protection is in place through mechanisms like the EU's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with legal retention periods. Data from contact inquiries is deleted once the matter is resolved. Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe.

6. Your Rights

Under Swiss and EU data protection laws, you have the following rights:

Right to Information and Access: To request a copy of the data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: To correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): To request the deletion of your data.
Right to Restrict Processing: To limit how we use your data.
Right to Data Portability: To receive your data in a machine-readable format.
Right to Object: To object to the processing of your data (e.g., for marketing).
Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw your consent at any time for future processing.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. However, no internet transmission is ever 100% secure.

Our website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites.
