Definitions and Principles
Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. Processing includes, in particular, collection, storage, use, transmission, or deletion of data. Only data necessary for the stated purposes is processed. Data is processed for specified purposes and retained only for as long as required.
Legal Bases for Processing
Where required by applicable law, processing is based on the following grounds:
- Legitimate interests, particularly for secure and reliable website operation, abuse prevention, error analysis, and IT security.
- Contractual or pre-contractual communication, especially for inquiries submitted via email or contact forms.
- Consent, particularly for web analytics or optional features activated only after approval.
Collection of Technical Access Data
When accessing this website, technical information is automatically collected to ensure provision, stability, and security. This may include IP address, date and time of access, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, accessed pages, and hostname of the accessing device. Processing serves technical operation, attack prevention, error analysis, and misuse prevention.
Hosting
This website is hosted by HostTime GmbH in Switzerland. Within hosting operations, technical access and server log data are processed to ensure secure and stable operation. Processing occurs for the purpose of website provision and safeguarding integrity, availability, and security.
Content Delivery and Security Optimization
Cloudflare is used to optimize loading performance and improve security. Traffic may be routed through Cloudflare infrastructure, which can involve processing of technical access data. Processing serves performance, stability, and protection against automated attacks. Where data may be processed outside Switzerland or the EEA, this occurs in accordance with applicable data protection requirements and appropriate safeguards.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This website uses cookies and similar technologies for technical functionality and, where activated, usage analysis. Technically necessary cookies may be used based on legitimate interests. Analytics cookies are activated only after consent via the consent system.
Further details on types, purposes, and retention periods are available in the Cookie Policy.
Consent Management and Withdrawal
Where consent is required, features are activated only after approval. Consent may be withdrawn or adjusted at any time via cookie settings. Withdrawal applies prospectively.
Web Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics for statistical evaluation and improvement of website performance. Cookies may be used and usage data processed. Activation occurs only after consent. Where technically feasible, processing is conducted in anonymized form to reduce identifiability. Data may be transferred to Google servers outside Switzerland or the EEA. Transfers occur in accordance with applicable legal requirements and appropriate safeguards where necessary.
Contact
When contacting via email, transmitted data is processed to respond to the inquiry.
When the contact form is used, the details entered are transmitted through Formspree to info@aburok-advisory.ch and are used only to handle the request. Contact form requests are not stored in a separate website database unless a separate local storage function is activated.
Formspree technically processes the submitted form contents as an external form service provider. This may include name, company, email address, topic, message, time of request, technical metadata and source page. The processing is used for secure transmission and abuse prevention.
Technical metadata may be included, such as IP address, browser information, timestamp, and accessed page. These serve system security, traceability, and abuse prevention only and are not used for marketing or profiling.
Recipients and Data Disclosure
Personal data is generally not disclosed to third parties. Disclosure may occur where necessary to fulfill stated purposes, legally required, needed to assert or defend legal claims, or explicit consent has been provided.
Service providers may act as processors, particularly hosting, security, and analytics providers. Access is limited to what is necessary.
International Data Transfers
Where service providers process data outside Switzerland or the EEA, or access cannot be excluded, processing occurs under applicable legal safeguards, including contractual protections where required.
Data Retention
Technical access data is retained only as long as required for operation, security, and analysis.
Communication data is retained only as long as necessary for handling and traceability of communication, after which deletion occurs within normal email management processes unless legal retention obligations apply.
Where longer retention is required by law, data is stored accordingly.
Rights of Data Subjects
Individuals have rights under applicable law to access personal data, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and objection to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, withdrawal is possible at any time with future effect. Requests may be directed to the controller.
Supervisory Authority and Complaints
Where applicable, individuals may lodge complaints with a supervisory authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
Data Security
Appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented to protect data against loss, manipulation, or unauthorized access. Complete security of internet transmission cannot be guaranteed.
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated at any time, particularly due to technical, legal, or organizational changes. The version published on this website applies.
