2. What data we process and why

We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection. We receive this data in particular from you, from business partners or from publicly accessible sources. Depending on how you use the website and interact with us, we process in particular:

• technical usage data such as IP address, date and time, pages visited, referrer address, browser, operating system, device type as well as status and error information, in order to provide, secure and technically improve the website;
• contact and communication data such as name, company, role, postal address, email address, telephone number and correspondence, in order to respond to enquiries and maintain business relationships;
• project and business data such as information on land, properties, project ideas, financing, interests, offers, contracts and documents submitted to us, in order to assess opportunities, develop projects and prepare and perform contracts;
• further data where this is necessary to comply with legal obligations, for internal administration, to prevent misuse or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

3. Website access, contact and documents

When you visit the website, technical data is automatically transmitted to our systems and hosting providers. This data is used for delivery, stability, security, error analysis and the detection of abusive access.

If you contact us by email, contact form, telephone or any other means, we process the information you provide in order to review and respond to your enquiry and to prepare a possible collaboration. Please only transmit sensitive personal data or confidential documents where this is necessary and an appropriately secure transmission channel has been agreed.

4. Service providers, recipients and processing abroad

Our website is hosted by Vercel Inc., USA. In this context, Vercel may process in particular IP addresses, connection data and technical log data to the extent necessary for hosting, security and delivery. As of the date of this policy, Vercel is certified under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

We may use other carefully selected service providers, in particular for email, communication, IT, data storage, security and administration. Personal data may also be disclosed to advisers and specialists, project and contract partners, and authorities or courts where this is necessary for an enquiry, a project, a contract, a legal obligation or the protection of our rights.

Processing generally takes place in Switzerland, but may also be carried out abroad by service providers, in particular in the USA and, where applicable, in other countries. Where a country lacks an adequate level of data protection recognised by the Swiss Federal Council, we use appropriate safeguards to the extent required, in particular recognised standard data protection clauses and additional protective measures. For certified US companies, the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework may serve as a basis. Statutory exceptions remain reserved.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use technically necessary cookies or comparable technologies, for example for security functions, session management, password protection or storing settings. These serve the proper operation of the website. You can restrict or delete cookies in your browser settings; this may impair individual functions.

At present, we do not use cookies for personalised advertising and no cross-site advertising tracking. If non-essential analytics, marketing or embedded third-party services are used in the future, we will amend this policy and — where legally required — provide a choice or consent mechanism before activation.

6. Retention and data security

We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or as required by legal, contractual or legitimate interests. Business and accounting records are in some cases subject to a retention period of ten years. Thereafter, data is deleted or anonymised unless permissible grounds for further retention exist.

We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, impermissible alteration and unauthorised disclosure. Transmission via our website is generally encrypted; however, complete security of electronic communication cannot be guaranteed.

7. Your rights

Under applicable Swiss data protection law, you may in particular request information about your personal data and the correction of inaccurate data. Where the legal requirements are met, you may also request the deletion, release or transfer of certain data or object to processing.

Statutory retention obligations, overriding interests and other restrictions remain reserved. To exercise your rights, please contact us at the email address stated above. To prevent misuse, we may request proof of identity. You may also contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

8. Changes

We may amend this privacy policy if our data processing activities, the services we use or the legal requirements change. The current version published on our website is authoritative.
