3. General Principles

3.1 What Data Do We Collect and From Whom?

We primarily process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect when you use our website. In some cases, we may also receive data from third parties. These may include:

  • Basic personal details (e.g., name, address, date of birth)

  • Contact information (e.g., phone number, email address)

  • Financial information (e.g., bank account details)

  • Online identifiers (e.g., cookie IDs, IP addresses)

  • Location and traffic data

  • Audio and video recordings

  • Special category data (e.g., biometric or health-related information)

3.2 Under What Conditions Do We Process Your Data?

We treat your data confidentially and only for the purposes defined in this privacy policy. We ensure that processing is transparent and proportionate.

If we are exceptionally unable to comply with these principles, processing may still be lawful if there is a valid legal basis, such as:

  • Your consent

  • Fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures

  • Our legitimate interests (provided they do not override your interests)

3.3 How Can You Withdraw Consent?

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within that scope unless another legal basis applies.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address listed in the imprint. Withdrawals do not affect prior data processing.

3.4 When Do We Share Your Data with Third Parties?

a. General
We may use third-party services or affiliated companies to process your data (so-called processors). Typical recipients include:

  • Accounting, fiduciary, and auditing firms

  • Consulting firms (legal, tax, etc.)

  • IT service providers (web hosting, cloud services, website maintenance)

  • Payment service providers

  • Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services

We ensure that these third parties and our affiliates comply with data protection requirements and treat your data confidentially.

In some cases, we may also be legally obliged to share your data with authorities.

b. Visiting Our Social Media Channels
Our website may include links to our social media profiles (recognizable by icons). If you click them, you’ll be redirected to our social media pages. These platforms may collect and use your data for their own purposes. We are not informed about what data is collected or how it is used.

c. Data Transfers Abroad
Data may be transferred to companies abroad. These companies are subject to the same data protection obligations. If the level of data protection is not equivalent to that of Switzerland, we perform a risk assessment and ensure contractual guarantees (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses). If the risk is deemed too high, we implement additional technical safeguards.

You can access the EU Standard Contractual Clauses here:
https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de

3.5 How Long Do We Store Your Data?

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.

Data collected when visiting the website is kept for 12 months. Analytics and tracking data may be stored longer.

Contract-related data is stored for longer periods due to legal requirements, e.g., 10 years for business communication and invoices. Such data is blocked once no longer needed and retained only for accounting and tax purposes.

3.6 How Do We Protect Your Data?

We take appropriate security measures to protect your data from loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.

Employees and partners with access to your data are required to comply with data protection laws. If we need to share your data with affiliated companies, they will also treat your data confidentially.

Our website uses SSL encryption in line with the highest encryption level supported by your browser.

3.7 What Are Your Rights?

a. Right to Information
You may request information about the personal data we hold about you. Please include proof of identity and send your request to mail@frederik-bugglin.ch.

If we process your data automatically and you have either consented or provided it in connection with a contract, you may also request your data in a common digital format.

We may restrict or deny access where legal obligations or third-party interests prevail.

Requests are generally processed within 30 days. Extensions may occur if we face high request volumes or require more information. You’ll be notified in writing.

b. Right to Deletion or Correction
You may request correction or deletion of your data at any time. We may deny this if legal retention periods apply or another lawful basis exists.

Please note: Exercising your rights may conflict with contractual terms and affect service provision (e.g., early termination or fees).

c. Legal Remedies
If your data is processed unlawfully, you may pursue legal remedies or file a complaint with the appropriate data protection authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC):

3.8 Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy at any time. Updates will be published at https://thomas-schuppisser. You will not be notified individually.

  • Your internet service provider

  • Your IP address (possibly)

  • Browser version

  • Operating system

  • Date and time of access

  • Referring website

  • Search terms used

Why is this data processed?
These logs help maintain website functionality and security and cannot be linked to a specific person. We have a legitimate interest in processing this data.

Can you opt out?
Log file storage is necessary for website operation and cannot be disabled.

4.2 Matomo Analytics

We use Matomo Analytics (InnoCraft Ltd., New Zealand), an open-source web analytics tool focused on user privacy.

Matomo uses cookies to anonymously track website usage, including page views, visit duration, and referral sources. IP addresses are anonymized before storage.

Unlike other tools, Matomo does not share data with third parties.

4.3 Matomo Tag Manager

We also use the Matomo Tag Manager, allowing us to efficiently manage and integrate tracking and marketing tools without altering website code. Like Matomo Analytics, it respects user privacy.

Cookies may be used to ensure tool functionality. IP addresses are anonymized by default, and data is not shared with third parties.

4.4 YouTube

Our website embeds YouTube videos (Google LLC). Viewing videos may transmit data like your IP address and browser information to Google servers. This data helps deliver the video and improve performance.

If logged into your YouTube account, your activity may be linked to your personal profile. Logging out before playback can prevent this.

4.6 Google reCAPTCHA

To protect against spam and automated form submissions, we use Google reCAPTCHA. It evaluates input behavior and may transmit data like IP addresses to Google for analysis.

If IP anonymization is enabled, your address will be shortened before processing in the EU/EEA. Full IPs are only sent to U.S. servers in rare cases. reCAPTCHA data is not merged with other Google services.


5. BrainBox Generators
