General information
The operators of this website undertake to handle your personal data responsibly. Consequently, we consider it a matter of course to comply with the legal requirements of the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (DSG), the Ordinance on the Federal Data Protection Act (VDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU-DSGVO). In the following we would like to inform you about how we treat your personal data.
Processing of personal data
The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. The data is processed – if at all – for non-commercial purposes.
When visiting the site
When you access this website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website server. The information about the visit to the website is temporarily stored in a so-called web server log file and automatically deleted after 7 days at the latest. The following information is recorded without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:
- IP address of the requesting computer,
- date and time of access,
- name and URL of the retrieved file,
- website from which access is made,
- browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer
The data mentioned are processed by us for the following purposes
- Ensuring a smooth connection establishment of the website
- Ensuring comfortable use of our website
- Evaluation of system security and stability as well
- for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.
When using the contact form
When using the contact form, it is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the request and can answer it. Data processing for the purpose of contacting us takes place in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent. The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be deleted immediately after the request you have made has been dealt with.
When booking a session
The data collected when booking an appointment online is essential for the consultation to take place. All data collected is only stored for the purpose of processing appointments and contracts. The following is collected in detail: Name and e-mail address as well as other information necessary for making an appointment. You can enter the description of your request in a free text field. This allows you to easily control which data you want to enter. You should therefore always only provide the personal data that you consider absolutely necessary. Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract with you.
Calendly
You can book appointments directly via Calendly. Data collected in that process will not be saved on our server and is only used for organising the meeting
Transfer to third parties
We only pass on your personal data if you have given your express consent, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary for the use of the website and the analysis of your user behavior. The use of the data passed on for this purpose by third parties is strictly limited to the stated purposes.

Cookies help, among other things, to make your visit to our website easier, more pleasant and more meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically saves on your computer’s hard drive when you visit our website.
If you do not want cookies, you can set your browser to disable cookies. Most browsers offer different options for protecting your privacy, in which the browser deletes cookies from your end device, blocks all cookies or warns you before a cookie is saved. The browser does not prevent previously set cookies from continuing to work on your end device until you have deleted all cookies in your browser settings.

Data security – SSL or TLS encryption
When you visit our website, we use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is usually a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is being transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
