Introduction

We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and what rights you have under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

What Data We Collect

We collect only the minimum amount of personal data necessary to operate our website and respond to your inquiries.

a. Contact Form (Jetpack)

When you submit a message through our contact form, we collect:

Your name
Your email address
Your message

This data is sent directly to our business email and is not stored on the website. The form is powered by Jetpack (Automattic), which may temporarily process this data to ensure proper delivery. See Automattic’s Privacy Policy for more information.

b. Meeting Scheduling (Calendly)

If you choose to schedule a meeting via Calendly (opens in a new tab), your data (e.g. name, email, time preferences) is collected and processed by Calendly directly. See Calendly’s Privacy Policy for more information.

c. Website Analytics (Jetpack Stats)

We use Jetpack by WordPress.com to monitor basic site traffic and performance. Jetpack uses cookies to collect aggregated, non-personal data such as page views, referral sources, and general geographic location. These cookies do not identify individuals and are used solely to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. By using this website, you consent to the use of such analytics cookies as part of your browsing experience. For more information, you can review Jetpack’s Privacy Policy.

d. Technical Data and Server Logs

Our website is hosted by WordPress.com (Automattic). For security and performance, their servers may collect anonymised data such as:

IP address (anonymised)
Browser type and version
Referring URL
Time and date of access

This data is used for operational and diagnostic purposes only.
Please see WordPress.com Privacy Policy form more information.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies solely for basic, aggregated analytics through Jetpack (by WordPress.com). These cookies do not identify individuals and are used only to help us understand general site performance (e.g. page views, referrers).

We do not use cookies for marketing, behavioural profiling, or advertising. We also do not embed third-party media or social feeds.

As a result, and in line with EU and Swiss privacy guidelines, a cookie banner is not required.

How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data only for:

Responding to your inquiries via the contact form
Scheduling meetings you request
Understanding website traffic in an anonymised, non-identifiable manner

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data for marketing purposes.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed for the specific purpose or to comply with legal obligations. Messages submitted through the contact form are stored only in our email inbox and not on our website or any database.

International Data Transfers

We may use third-party tools (e.g. Calendly, Automattic) that store and process data outside Switzerland or the EU (such as in the United States). These providers implement appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure compliance with data protection standards.
