We, steuern-meili.ch ag (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”), take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We process personal data in connection with our website, steuern-meili.ch, in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

This Privacy Policy explains which personal data we process, the purposes for which we process it, and the rights you have as a data subject.

The data controller responsible for the processing of personal data within the meaning of applicable data protection law is steuern-meili.ch ag, [Street / No.], [Postal Code, City], Telephone [Phone Number], Email [Email Address].

When you visit our website or contact us, personal data may be processed. This includes, in particular, technical data such as your IP address, the date and time of access, the pages visited, the browser type used, the operating system, and the referrer URL. If you actively provide us with personal data, we also process communication data and personal information such as your name, email address, the content of your message, and, depending on your enquiry, any additional information you choose to provide.

We process personal data to provide, operate, and protect our website. We also process personal data to respond to your enquiries, improve our services, send newsletters (if you have subscribed to them), comply with legal obligations, and, where necessary, establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Our website is hosted by an external service provider. As part of the operation of the website, so-called server log files are processed. This information is used to ensure the technical provision of the website, maintain system security, analyse errors, and prevent misuse.

If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we process the personal data you provide in order to handle and respond to your enquiry. Your information may also be processed for follow-up questions or to document our communication, where necessary.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we process the personal data you provide, in particular your email address and, where applicable, your name. The newsletter is sent via the service provider Brevo (formerly Sendinblue). Brevo processes the data on our behalf to the extent necessary for the delivery and technical administration of the newsletter. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, for example by using the unsubscribe link included in each newsletter. If the relevant features are enabled, statistical analyses regarding the delivery and use of the newsletter may also be carried out, such as whether a newsletter has been opened or whether links within it have been clicked.

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, based in Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyse and statistically evaluate the use of our website. In particular, technical information and usage data may be processed for this purpose. The IP address is generally shortened or anonymised. The analyses help us improve our online services and tailor content to users’ needs. Depending on the configuration, data may also be transferred to and processed by companies affiliated with Google in countries outside Switzerland or the European Union, particularly in the United States.

We use Google Ads, a service provided by Google, to display online advertising. In this context, cookies or similar technologies may be used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising activities and to deliver interest-based advertising. In particular, this may include tracking whether users have reached our website through an advertisement or performed certain actions on the website. This information helps us analyse the reach and effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and improve our services accordingly. Depending on the configuration, data may also be processed by Google in countries outside Switzerland or the European Union, particularly in the United States.

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide and operate our website and to enable its functionality. In addition, cookies may be used for analytical purposes, particularly in connection with Google Analytics. You can restrict or disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that doing so may limit certain functionalities of the website.

Our website may contain references or links to LinkedIn. If you click on such links, you will leave our website and be redirected to the LinkedIn platform. The processing of personal data by LinkedIn is carried out under LinkedIn’s own responsibility and in accordance with its Privacy Policy.

We disclose personal data only where this is necessary for the operation of our website and the fulfilment of our purposes. This includes, in particular, hosting and IT service providers, as well as providers of newsletter and web analytics services (Brevo and Google). Personal data may also be disclosed where we are legally required to do so or where such disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Depending on the service providers and technical configurations used, personal data may also be processed outside Switzerland, particularly in countries within the European Union or in the United States. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate data protection safeguards are in place where required by law.

We process and store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above or as required by law. Once the data is no longer needed, it will be deleted or anonymised, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. In doing so, we take into account the current state of technology as well as the nature and scope of the data being processed.

Under applicable data protection law, you have the right to request information about the personal data we process concerning you. You may also request the correction of inaccurate personal data and, provided that no legal retention obligations apply, request the deletion of your personal data. In addition, you may object to certain types of data processing. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided above.

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time. The version published on this website shall apply in each case.
