General principles
3.1 What data do we collect from you and from whom do we receive this data?
Primarily, we process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect when operating our website. Under certain circumstances, we may also receive personal data about you from third parties. These may include the following categories:

Personal master data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
Contact details (mobile number, email address, etc.);
Financial data (e.g., bank details);
Online identifiers (e.g., cookie ID, IP addresses);
Location and traffic data;
Audio and image recordings;
Especially sensitive data (e.g., biometric data or information about your health).
3.2 Under what conditions do we process your data?
We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We ensure transparent and proportionate processing.

If, in exceptional cases, we are unable to follow these principles, data processing may still be lawful because there is a legal justification. Justification may include:

Your consent;
The performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
Our legitimate interests, provided that your interests do not outweigh them.
3.3 How can you revoke your consent?
If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent unless we have another legal justification.

You have the option to revoke your consent at any time by sending an email to the address specified in the imprint. Data processing already carried out is not affected by this.

3.4 In what cases can we disclose your data to third parties?
a. Principle
We may need to engage third-party services or affiliated companies for data processing (so-called data processors). Categories of recipients include, in particular:

Accounting, trust, and auditing companies;
Consulting firms (legal advice, taxes, etc.);
IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);
Payment service providers;
Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services.
We ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.

We may also be obligated to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Visiting our social media channels
We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This is visible to you (typically through corresponding symbols). Clicking on the symbols will redirect you to our social media channels.

In this case, the social media providers will know that you are accessing their platform from our website. The social media providers may use the data collected for their own purposes. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the operators.

c. Transfer abroad
Under certain circumstances, personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are obligated to data protection to the same extent as ourselves. The transfer can take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we conduct a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same level of protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (e.g., by means of the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses at the following link: https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_en

3.5 How long do we retain your data?
We only store personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which the data was collected.

Data that we store during your visit to our website is kept for twelve months. An exception applies to analysis and tracking data, which may be retained longer.

We store contract data longer because we are legally obligated to do so. In particular, we must retain business communication, concluded contracts, and booking documents for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data from you to provide the services, the data will be blocked, and we will only use it for accounting and tax purposes.

3.6 How do we protect your data?
We will securely store your data and take all reasonable measures to protect it from loss, access, misuse, or alteration.

Our contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obliged to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it will be necessary for us to forward your inquiries to affiliated companies. Even in these cases, your data will be treated confidentially.

Within our website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in connection with the highest encryption level supported by your browser.

3.7 What rights do you have?
a. Right to information
You can request information about the data we store about you at any time. We ask you to send your request for information together with proof of identity to info@naturfotografie-fopp.ch.

You also have the right to receive your data in a common format if we process your data automatically and if:

You have given your consent to the processing of this data; or
You have disclosed data in connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract.
We may restrict or refuse the provision of information or data if it conflicts with our legal obligations, legitimate interests, or the interests of a third party.

The processing of your request is subject to the statutory processing period of 30 days. However, we may extend this period due to a high volume of requests, legal or technical reasons, or if we need more information from you. You will be informed of the extension in text form at least in time.

b. Deletion and correction
You have the option to request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject the request if legal provisions require us to retain the data for a longer or unchanged period or if a legal basis contradicts your request.

Please note that exercising your rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have corresponding effects on contract performance (e.g., early contract termination or cost consequences).

c. Legal recourse

If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to submit a complaint to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch
