Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
The protection of your data is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website, how we use it, and what measures we take to protect your data.
2. Data Collection
When you visit our website, our systems automatically store technical data that your browser transmits to us. This includes:
- IP address
- Date and time of access
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
- Access status (e.g., HTTP status code)
This data is anonymized and is used for statistical purposes and to optimize our website. It is not possible to identify individual users.
3. Collection of Personal Data
As a general rule, we do not collect personal data unless you voluntarily provide it to us, for example via contact forms or email inquiries. If you provide us with personal data, we use it exclusively for the purpose for which it was provided, such as to process your inquiry or to perform legal services. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
4. Use of Data
We use the personal data provided to us exclusively for the following purposes:
- Provision of the online service: Technically necessary data (such as IP address and browser information) is used to display the website correctly and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
- Processing Inquiries: We use the data you provide via the contact form or by email to review your legal matter, answer your questions, and carry out pre-contractual measures.
- Professional Ethics Review: We also use your information for the legally required review of potential conflicts of interest prior to accepting a potential retainer.
- Communication: The data is used for direct correspondence with you via your preferred method (e.g., to schedule an appointment or clarify any questions).
Your data will not be disclosed to third parties unless this is absolutely necessary to process your matter or we are legally required to do so.
5. Your Rights as a Data Subject
As a natural person, you have the following rights regarding your personal data under the Swiss Data Protection Act (DSG):
- Access: Find out whether and what data is being processed about you, for what purpose, on what legal basis, where this data comes from, and to which recipients it has been disclosed; We will provide this information free of charge in electronic form within 30 days.
- Rectification: Have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected.
- Erasure: Request the deletion of data if it is no longer needed or if its processing is unlawful.
- Restriction/Objection: Request that processing be restricted or object to specific processing activities (e.g., for advertising or profiling).
- Data portability: Receive the data you have provided in a machine-readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON) or have it transferred directly to another data controller, provided this is technically feasible and does not infringe on the rights of third parties.
6. Cookies
Our website does not use cookies.
7. External Links
Our website may contain links to external websites. We have no control over the content of these websites and therefore cannot accept any responsibility for their privacy practices. Please review the privacy policies on these websites for more information.
On our website, we use Google Maps, a mapping service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Maps allows us to embed interactive maps directly into our website. This feature makes it easy to use the map function, for example, to search for locations or plan routes. By using this feature, Google receives the information that you have accessed it via our website. In addition, other data—in particular your IP address—is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers. These servers may be located in the United States or other countries. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or to tailor its website to your needs. Such analysis is conducted in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to deliver targeted advertising. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to do so, you must contact Google directly.
8. Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. The current version is available on our website at all times. Please review the Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed of any changes.
