We process personal data in accordance with applicable Swiss data protection law (revDSG) and – where relevant – the EU GDPR. Below we explain what data we process, for what purposes, and which rights you have.

1. Data we process

1.1 Automatically collected information

• IP address, date/time of access, pages/files viewed

Legal bases include our legitimate interests in secure operations and marketing/sales, your consent (e.g. newsletter/opt-in) and/or contractual or pre-contractual necessity (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a/b/f GDPR; corresponding provisions under revDSG).

3. Disclosure of data

• Legal obligations may require disclosure to authorities.

4. Retention period

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as required by law. Afterwards, data is deleted or anonymised.

5. Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, and unlawful processing.

6. Cookies, tracking and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide the Blog, analyse its use, and improve marketing activities. You may restrict or disable cookies in your browser; functionality may be limited as a result.

If we use third-party analytics or marketing services, this is done under data processing agreements and – where required – with your consent. Additional opt-out options may be available in the respective tools.

7. International data transfers

Where data is transferred to countries without an adequate level of protection, we ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g. EU Standard Contractual Clauses) or rely on permitted exceptions.

8. Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection (particularly to direct marketing), and data portability. You may withdraw any consent at any time with future effect.

Please contact us at syteca@techway.ch or by post (address above).
