Principles
Processing of personal data
Personal data is processed only to the extent required for the secure and reliable operation of this website, the analysis of its use and communication with you. Personal data is treated confidentially, is not sold and is disclosed to service providers only where this is necessary for the purposes described in this privacy statement.
Data is processed in particular to provide and secure the website, respond to enquiries, statistically analyse website usage and improve its content. Where the GDPR applies, processing is based, depending on the circumstances, on your consent, the implementation of pre-contractual measures, a legitimate interest in the secure and economically efficient operation of the website or a legal obligation.
Hosting and server log files
This website is hosted by green.ch AG in Switzerland. The servers are located in Switzerland. When the website is accessed, the hosting provider processes technically necessary access data in server log files. This may include, in particular, the IP address, date and time of access, the page accessed, the amount of data transferred, the browser used, the operating system and the previously visited website.
This data is used to provide the website technically, ensure its stability and security and detect and prevent misuse. It is not combined with other data sources unless this is necessary to investigate a security incident.
Fonts
The fonts used on this website are delivered locally from the Swiss server. No connection is established to third-party servers, in particular Google Fonts, when the fonts are loaded.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies and consent management
This website uses cookies and comparable technologies. Technically necessary cookies are used to ensure that the website, language selection and consent management function reliably. Such cookies may be placed without prior consent.
Your consent is obtained through the Complianz consent management system before optional statistics or third-party services are activated. You can change your selection at any time through the cookie settings or withdraw consent with effect for the future. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
Google Analytics
Subject to your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use the website. This includes the processing of information about pages viewed, interactions, approximate geographic origin, device type, browser and duration of visits.
Google Analytics uses cookies and comparable technologies. The service is activated only after you have consented to the Statistics category. According to Google, the IP addresses of users from Switzerland, the European Union and the United Kingdom are discarded before being stored and are not logged.
The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. In connection with the provision of the service, data may also be processed by other companies within the Google group, particularly in the United States. Google uses recognised safeguards and transfer mechanisms to protect such data.
Data collected through Google Analytics is used solely for statistical purposes and to improve this website. We do not use Google Analytics to identify you personally. The retention period is determined by the settings configured in Google Analytics. You can withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings.
Contact
Contact form
When you use the contact form, the information you enter, in particular your name, email address and message, is transmitted by email to the responsible entity in order to process your enquiry. The information is not used for marketing purposes and is not stored in a separate contact database on the website.
The data is retained for as long as necessary to process your enquiry, manage any resulting business relationship or comply with statutory retention obligations. Where no retention obligation or other legitimate interest applies, the data is deleted.
Embedded Apple Podcasts content
An Apple Podcasts player is embedded on the podcast page. The player is loaded only after you have consented to its use through the consent management system. When the player is loaded, a connection is established to Apple servers.
In this process, your IP address, technical information about the device and browser used, the date and time of access and information about your use of the player may be transmitted to Apple. If you are signed in to Apple, Apple may be able to associate your visit with your user account. We have no control over the nature and extent of Apple’s data processing.
Apple may also process data outside Switzerland. Apple’s privacy provisions apply to any further processing of such data. You can prevent the player from loading by not granting the relevant consent or by withdrawing it later through the cookie settings.
