The protection of your personal data matters to me. This privacy policy tells you what data is collected on my website, how I use it and what rights you have under Swiss law (DSG) and European data protection law (GDPR).

I process personal data only where this is necessary to provide a functioning website, to fulfil contracts and to handle enquiries.

Data collected automatically when you visit the website:

• IP address
• date and time of access
• browser and operating system used
• pages visited

This data is used for statistical purposes and to keep my website running.

Under the GDPR I base the processing of personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract): e.g. for orders.
• Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation): e.g. retention duties.
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest): e.g. website security.
• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent): e.g. newsletter, cookies, tracking.

4. Getting in touch

If you contact me by email or through the contact form, the data you send is stored in order to handle your enquiry.

5. Orders in the shop

When you place an order (e.g. calendars, cards) I collect the data needed to process it:

• first and last name
• address

The data is used solely to fulfil the contract.

6. Payment providers

I use the following providers for payment processing:

Data is shared solely for the purpose of processing payment.

7. Sharing of data

Data is shared only where necessary to fulfil the contract (e.g. with shipping services, payment providers) or where there is a legal obligation. Transfer to third parties in other countries takes place only where an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed or you have consented.

8. Cookies and tracking

My website may use cookies. These serve to make the site user-friendly and secure.

9. Data security

I take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss, misuse or unauthorised access.

10. Retention periods

Personal data is stored for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes or as required by statutory retention obligations.

11. Your rights

Under the Swiss DSG and the GDPR you have the following rights:

• the right to information about the data stored about you
• the right to rectification of incorrect data
• the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), provided no retention obligation applies
