Cookies, hosting and security

At the moment we do not use our own analytics or advertising trackers on this website. However, technically necessary connection and server data are processed so the website can be delivered and protected against misuse.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data in line with the risk involved. Complete security for internet transmissions can never be guaranteed.

  • Hosting provider, for website delivery and technical security.

Please also review the privacy policies of Meta/WhatsApp, OpenStreetMap, Google and Apple.

Retention periods

  • Technical website data is kept only as long as needed for operation, security and troubleshooting.
  • Inquiry messages, appointment communication and related records are kept as long as necessary for communication, service delivery, follow-up or legal obligations.
  • Data that is no longer needed is deleted or anonymised unless a retention duty or legitimate need to keep evidence requires otherwise.

Under Swiss data protection law you can in particular ask whether we process your personal data, request correction of incorrect data and, depending on the case, request deletion, restriction, objection or data disclosure/transfer.

To allocate your request correctly, we may ask for proof of identity. You can send a formal request by post to the address above or first announce it by phone/WhatsApp.
