(Privacy Policy)
I’m glad you’re interested in my business. Protecting your personal data is very important to me. In general, you can use my website without providing any personal information. However, if you wish to use certain services, I may need to process personal data. If there is no legal basis for that, I will ask for your consent.

The processing of your data complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable data protection laws of Switzerland. This privacy policy explains which data I collect, how I use it, and what rights you have.

I have implemented technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, please note that data transmission over the internet may have security gaps. If you prefer, you can also share your data with me by phone or other means.
