Data processing and purposes

If you contact us via website (contact form), telephone, ordinary mail or e-mail, your personal data will be used to provide you with legal advice or to prepare a client relationship with you as well as to invoice our services.

Our contract with the data processor ensures that all necessary technical and organisational measures are taken to ensure data security. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that e-mail communication is not a secure form of communication.

Within the framework of the above purposes, we may transfer personal data to third parties in individual cases, in Switzerland or abroad (e.g. to a counterparty or authority or a subcontractor). If data is transferred abroad, we ensure that it is either a country with an adequate level of data protection or that it is otherwise ensured that an adequate level of data protection is achieved in the individual case or that we obtain your consent for the transfer.

On the Website, your data, including in particular the IP address of the device you are using (computer, tablet, smartphone), will be processed sparingly in the following manner:

  • Server logs: Our hosting provider may store Internet usage metadata, including your device’s IP address, for service delivery purposes.
