Legal notice and privacy

This website and my mailbox are hosted by METANET AG, Josefstrasse 218, 8005 Zurich, which processes the data on my behalf as a processor.

Each time a page is accessed, the server records technically necessary data, in particular the IP address, date and time, the page requested and details of the browser and operating system. This data is used to operate and secure the website and to investigate errors.

If you email or call me, I process your name, your contact details and the content of your message. I use this information to answer your enquiry and to prepare and carry out any collaboration. I do not pass it on to third parties, apart from Metanet as the provider of my mailbox.

This website sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, uses no analytics or advertising services and loads no content from third-party servers; the fonts are hosted on the website’s own server.

The website and the mailbox are hosted by Metanet in data centres in Switzerland. Under its contract, Metanet may also have services provided in EU or EEA states, in particular support by group companies in Germany and Sweden. For email spam protection, Metanet may use a service provider in the United States (Barracuda Networks) and, according to Metanet, relies on the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework for this.

Server logs are kept for as long as needed for operation, security and troubleshooting, and are then deleted. I keep emails and other information from enquiries for as long as they are needed for the enquiry or a collaboration, and beyond that only where statutory retention obligations apply.

You can ask me whether I process personal data about you and, if so, which data; I normally reply within 30 days. You can also ask me to correct inaccurate data, to delete data or to stop a particular processing activity. Please write to kontakt@depatimetec.ch.

In addition, you can contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, www.edoeb.admin.ch.

Where the GDPR applies, the following is added: the legal basis for the server logs and for handling enquiries is my legitimate interest in operating the website securely and in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); where an enquiry concerns preparing or performing a contract, it is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. You also have the right to restriction of processing, the right to object and the right to data portability, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the country where you normally live.
