Privacy policy

Convenience translation: This English version is provided for information only. The German version is legally binding.

With the following statement, we fulfill our legal obligation to inform you about the storage of data, the type of data, its purpose and our identity. We also inform you about the initial registration and the type of data transmitted. You will find our full contact details at the end of this privacy policy.

On the basis of Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP), and in accordance with the GDPR, every person has the right to protection of their privacy and to protection against misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions. Personal data is treated as strictly confidential and is neither sold nor passed on to third parties. You will find the details in the explanations below.

We are pleased that you are visiting our website and are interested in our offerings. Despite careful review of their content, we assume no liability for external links to third-party content, as we did not initiate the transmission of this information, did not select the recipient of the transmitted information and did not modify the transmitted information.

The protection of your personal data during its collection, processing and use in connection with your visit to our website is important to us and takes place within the framework of the statutory provisions, which you can refer to, for example, via the link listed at the end of this privacy policy. As a rule, our website can be used without providing any personal data. Where personal data (for example name, postal address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis, as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. In this context, please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Below, we explain which information we collect during your visit to our website and how it is used:

1. Collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of its use

When you visit the website: Each time a customer (or any other visitor) accesses our website, the internet browser used on your device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored on the server side (web hosting provider) in a so-called log file. The following data is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • where applicable, the IP address of the requesting computer, as well as the device ID or individual device identifier and the device type,
  • the name of the file accessed and the amount of data transferred, as well as the date and time of access,
  • notification of successful access,
  • the requesting domain (origin of your request, i.e. the site from which you came to our website(s)),
  • a description of the type of internet browser used and, where applicable, of the operating system of your device, as well as the name of your provider.

Our legitimate interest in the collection of data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR is based on the following purposes:

  • ensuring a smooth connection setup and convenient use of the website,
  • evaluating, among other things, system security and stability,
  • other administrative purposes.

Under no circumstances do we use the collected data to draw conclusions about you personally.

2. Disclosure of personal data

Your data is not disclosed to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only disclose your data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent to this (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR),
  • there is a legal obligation to disclose it (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR),
  • the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject or for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR),
  • the disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in your data not being disclosed (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

In these cases, however, the scope of the data transmitted is limited to the necessary minimum. Our privacy policy complies with the applicable data protection laws, and the data is processed only in the European Union and Switzerland. No transfer to third countries takes place, nor is any intended.

3. Rights of data subjects

On request, we will be happy to tell you whether we store any of your personal data and, if so, what data we store (Art. 15 GDPR). This relates in particular to: the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your personal data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of the right to rectification and erasure as well as the right to restriction of processing and the right to object, the availability of legal remedies, the source of your personal data (if it was not collected by us), and the use of automated decision-making, including profiling.

You also have the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified or incomplete data completed (Art. 16 GDPR). Where the legal conditions are met, you also have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data (Art. 18 GDPR). You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request its transmission to another controller (Art. 20 GDPR). Furthermore, you have the right to erasure (often called the “right to be forgotten”), which means that you can request that we erase your personal data, provided that the statutory requirements are met (Art. 17 GDPR). Irrespective of this, we will erase your personal data once the purpose of the data collection has been fulfilled or if the data processing was unlawful.

Pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR, you are entitled to withdraw any consent you have given at any time. As a consequence, we will no longer be entitled to process the personal data on the basis of this consent in the future.

Where a right to object is granted by law, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. In the event of a valid revocation, too, we will automatically erase your personal data (Art. 21 GDPR). If you wish to exercise your right to object or to revoke your consent, it is sufficient to send an e-mail to the e-mail address listed at the end of this privacy policy. In the event of a breach of data protection regulations, you are entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.

4. Duration of data storage

We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. Where longer retention obligations apply due to statutory or other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

5. External applications integrated into our website

Smush

Smush sends images to the WPMU DEV servers in order to optimize them for web use. This includes the transmission of EXIF data. The EXIF data is either removed or returned unchanged. It is not stored on the WPMU DEV servers. Smush uses the Stackpath content delivery network (CDN). Stackpath may store web log information of site visitors, including IPs, UA, referrer, location and ISP information of site visitors, for 7 days. Files and images served by the CDN may be stored and served from countries other than your own. You can find Stackpath's privacy policy here. Smush uses a third-party e-mail service (Drip) to send informational e-mails to the site administrator. The administrator's e-mail address is sent to Drip, and a cookie is set by the service. Drip collects administrator information only.

Please note that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or of its use by Twitter.
