We only collect data necessary for the stated purposes:

Data is not used for unsolicited marketing nor disclosed to third parties for such purposes.

Processing is based on: performance of pre-contractual measures (visit/pre-registration requests), consent where required (e.g. newsletter), legitimate interest (site security, responding to enquiries), and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.

4. Retention

Data is retained for as long as necessary for the stated purposes (e.g. managing the relationship with families and accounting/legal obligations). Contact data that does not result in a contractual relationship may be deleted after a reasonable period of inactivity, subject to legal retention requirements.

As a data subject you have the right, within the limits of the law, to: access your data, rectification, erasure («right to be forgotten»), restriction of processing, data portability (where technically feasible), and to object to processing based on legitimate interest. You may withdraw consent at any time and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (in Switzerland: Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, FDPIC; in the EU: the authority of your country of residence).

To exercise your rights: [email protected].

6. Security and transfers

We adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data from unauthorised access, loss or alteration. Where data is transferred outside the EEA/Switzerland, we ensure adequate safeguards (adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, etc.) where required by law.
