Privacy Policy

Last updated on: 16.12.2024

It is important to me to be transparent about the handling of personal data. This privacy policy provides information about what personal data I collect, for what purpose and to whom it is passed on. To ensure a high level of transparency, this privacy policy is regularly reviewed and updated.

1. WHICH SERVICES I USE

  • Google Fonts API
  • YouTube
  • WordPress

2. CONTACT INFORMATION

If you have any questions or concerns about the protection of your data by me, you can contact me at any time by e-mail at kohler.sabrina97@gmail.com. Responsible for the data processing that takes place via this website is me Sabrina Kohler.

3. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

3.1 What data I collect from you and from whom I receive this data
First and foremost, I process personal data that you provide to us or that I collect when operating this website. I may also receive personal data about you from third parties. This may include the following categories:

  • Personal master data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
  • Contact data (cell phone number, e-mail address, etc.);
  • Financial data (e.g. account details);
  • Online identifiers (e.g. cookie identifiers, IP addresses);
  • Location and traffic data;
  • Sound and image recordings;
  • particularly sensitive data (e.g. biometric data or information about your health).

3.2 Under what conditions do I process your data?

I treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this privacy policy. I ensure transparent and proportionate processing.

If, in exceptional cases, I am unable to comply with these principles, data processing may still be lawful because there is a justification. In particular, the following grounds for justification may apply:

  • Your consent;
  • the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
  • our legitimate interests, provided that your interests do not prevail.

3.3 How can you withdraw your consent?

If you have given me your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, I will process your data within the scope of this consent, unless we have another justification.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an e-mail to the address given in the legal notice. Data processing that has already taken place is not affected by this.

3.4 In which cases can I pass on your data to third parties?

a. Principle
I may need to use the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients are in particular:

  • Accounting, fiduciary and auditing companies;
  • Consulting companies (legal advice, taxes, etc.);
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);
  • Payment service providers;
  • providers of tracking, conversion and advertising services.

I ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially. I may also be obliged to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Visiting my social media channels
I may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This is visible to you in each case (typically via corresponding icons). If you click on the icons, you will be redirected to my social media channels.

In this case, the social media providers will learn that you have accessed their platform from my website. The social media providers can use the data collected in this way for their own purposes. I would like to point out that I have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the providers.

c. Transfer abroad
Under certain circumstances, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are obliged to protect data to the same extent as I am. The transfer may take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not correspond to that in Switzerland, I will carry out a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same level of protection is guaranteed as in Switzerland (e.g. by means of the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If my risk assessment is negative, I will take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses at the following link: EU Commission standard contractual clauses

3.5 How long do I store your data?

I only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the individual purposes for which the data was collected.

Data that I store when you visit my website is stored for twelve months. An exception applies to analysis and tracking data, which may be stored for longer.

I store contract data for longer, as I am obliged to do so by law. In particular, I must store business communications, concluded contracts and accounting documents for up to 10 years. If I no longer need such data from you to perform the services, the data will be blocked and I will only use it for accounting and tax purposes.

3.6 How do I protect your data?

I will keep your data secure and take all reasonable steps to protect your data from loss, access, misuse or alteration.

Our contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obliged to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it will be necessary for me to pass on your inquiries to companies affiliated with me. Your data will also be treated confidentially in these cases.

Within our website, I use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.

3.7 What rights do you have?

a. Right to information
You can request information about the data I have stored about you at any time. Please send your request for information together with proof of identity to kohler.sabrina97@gmail.com.

You also have the right to receive your data in a commonly used file format if I process your data automatically and if:

  • you have given your consent for the processing of this data; or
  • you have provided data in connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract.

I may restrict or refuse to provide information or data if this conflicts with my legal obligations, my own legitimate interests, public interests or the interests of a third party.

The processing of your request is subject to the statutory processing period of 30 days. However, I may extend this period due to a high volume of requests, for legal or technical reasons or because I require more detailed information from you. You will be informed of the extension in good time, at least in text form.

b. Deletion and correction
You have the option of requesting the erasure or rectification of your data at any time. I may reject the request if statutory provisions oblige us to store the data for a longer period or to store it unchanged or if your request conflicts with a legal requirement.

Please note that the exercise of your rights may be in conflict with contractual agreements and may have corresponding effects on the execution of the contract (e.g. premature termination of the contract or cost consequences).

c. Legal recourse
If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: www.edoeb.admin.ch

Through this connection, data, in particular your IP address and information about the browser you are using, may be transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers. These servers may be located in the USA or other countries.

If you wish to prevent the transfer of data within the scope of the Google Fonts API, you can block access to the domain fonts.googleapis.com in your browser settings. Please note that in this case my website may not be displayed correctly.

Videos from YouTube, a platform of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”), are integrated on our website.

This data is used to provide the video, monitor performance and improve the user experience.

If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

My website is based on the WordPress platform, a content management system developed by Automattic Inc, 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. WordPress enables me to create, manage and publish content.
