• General note

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data. The owner of this website (Azolla GmbH) takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

In cooperation with our hosting providers, we are committed to protect our databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data in accordance with the following description. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as accessed pages or names of accessed files, date and time are stored on our server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to your person. No data will be passed on to third parties without your consent, with the exception of the third-party providers named in this privacy policy.

• Processing of personal data

For the purposes of this privacy policy, personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, procurement, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

Personal data, in particular name, address, telephone numbers and e-mail address, are collected on a voluntary basis as much as possible and only to the extent necessary to provide our services. We process this personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law and the EU GDPR, insofar and to the extent that these are applicable. The personal data is processed on the following legal bases (as entailed in Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR):

– lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

– lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.

– lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable EU law or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.

– lit. d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.

– lit. f) Processing of personal data in order to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties, except where such interests are overridden by the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject. Legitimate interests are, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
