Privacy policy

The protection of your personal data is important to us. This privacy policy informs you about which personal data is processed when you visit this website. The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revised FADP, in force since 1 September 2023) is decisive. Insofar as visitors from the European Economic Area use the website, the European General Data Protection Regulation may additionally apply.

1. Data controller

Responsible for data processing within this website is:

Freddy Burger
Carmenstrasse 12
8032 Zürich
Switzerland
Email: sonja.metzler@fbm.ch
Phone: +41 44 265 56 06

2. Principles

Personal data is only processed insofar as is necessary for the operation of the website, the response to enquiries and the security of the website. Processing takes place in good faith, proportionately and for a specific purpose. Disclosure to third parties only takes place within the scope described here or where there is a legal obligation to do so.

3. Server log files at the hoster

When the website is accessed, the hosting provider automatically collects information and stores it in so-called server log files. This is done for technical reasons and to ensure security and stability. The following are recorded in particular:

  • the anonymised or shortened IP address
  • date and time of access
  • the page or file accessed
  • the browser and operating system used
  • the previously visited page (referrer)

This data does not allow any direct conclusions about your identity and is not merged with other data sources. It is deleted after a short time.

4. Contact form and contact by email

If you use the contact form or send us an email, the information you provide, such as name, email address and the content of your message, is processed to answer your enquiry. This information is used only for handling the request and is not used for any other purpose without your consent. We keep the data for as long as is necessary to answer it and any follow-up questions, and delete it thereafter unless there are legal retention obligations.

5. Cookies

This website uses cookies, small text files that are stored on your device. Technically necessary cookies enable the basic operation of the website. Cookies for statistics or for embedded content are only set if you have consented. You can delete cookies in your browser at any time or restrict their storage. In this case, individual functions may be limited.

6. Web analytics

To improve the website, a statistics service may be used that evaluates usage behaviour in anonymised or pseudonymised form. Information about pages visited and time spent on them may be recorded. Evaluation only takes place if you have consented to the use of the corresponding cookies.

If Google Analytics or a comparable service is used, data is transmitted to the provider, who shortens the IP address before storing it.

7. Embedded third-party content

Third-party content may be embedded on this website, in particular videos from YouTube and music from Spotify. When this content is played or, in some cases, already when it is loaded, your browser establishes a connection to the servers of the respective provider. Data such as your IP address may be transmitted to these providers. We have no influence on this data processing. The privacy policy of the respective provider applies:

  • YouTube und Google: policies.google.com/privacy
  • Spotify: spotify.com/legal/privacy-policy

To avoid this transmission, embedded players are only loaded after your consent or your click.

8. External links

This website links to external websites, e.g. to companies, a publisher and media reports. By clicking on such a link, you leave this website. The respective operator is responsible for data processing on the linked pages.

9. Disclosure to third parties and processing abroad

Service providers are used to operate the website, e.g. for hosting and statistics. They process data on our behalf and are contractually obliged to comply with data protection. Insofar as data is transferred abroad, this only takes place to countries with an adequate level of data protection or on the basis of suitable safeguards such as the Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Your rights

Within the framework of applicable data protection law, you have in particular the following rights:

  • Information about the data processed about you
  • Rectification of incorrect data
  • Deletion of data, insofar as there is no legal obligation to keep it
  • Restriction of processing and objection to processing
  • Provision or transfer of your data in a common format
  • Withdrawal of consent once given, with effect for the future

To exercise these rights, a message to the contact address above is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Switzerland this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC / EDÖB).

11. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. However, data transmission on the internet can never be completely secure. The website is provided via an encrypted connection using the https protocol.

12. Changes to this privacy policy

This privacy policy may be amended at any time, for example when new functions are added or the legal requirements change. The version published on this website applies in each case.
