2. General

Pursuant to Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection legislation (Federal Act on Data Protection, FADP), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data.

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Together with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect our databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

3. Hosting

Our website is operated by a Swiss hosting provider. Its servers are located in Switzerland. When you visit our website, the web server automatically creates so-called server log files. These contain information such as:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (previously visited page)
  • IP address of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. We do not merge this data with other data sources. The data is evaluated solely to ensure trouble-free operation of the website and to improve our services.

4. Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies that are required for the technical operation of the website (e. g. spam protection).

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude cookies for specific cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed.

5. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of how the website is used. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 31(1) FADP), given via the cookie banner.

Google Analytics is only activated after you have consented to the use of cookies. The information collected (e. g. pages visited, time spent on site, device and browser used, approximate location) is generally transferred to a Google server and stored there. We use IP anonymisation, so that your IP address is shortened by Google within the EU/EEA.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting the cookies in your browser. Further information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy.

6. Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect our forms from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA analyses visitor behaviour based on various characteristics in order to distinguish between human users and automated access (bots).

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in protecting our website from abusive automated access (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or Art. 31 FADP).

The following data may be collected and processed:

  • IP address
  • Time spent on the website
  • Mouse movements and click behaviour
  • Keyboard input
  • Information about operating system and browser

Google processes this data on our behalf as a data processor solely for the purpose of spam and bot detection. The processing takes place on the basis of the Google Cloud Terms of Service and the Cloud Data Processing Addendum.

7. Contact forms

When you use one of our forms (e. g. registration, membership, support), the data you enter (name, email address, age, message, and further details) is stored on our server and sent to us by email for the purpose of processing your enquiry.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or Art. 31 FADP). The data is deleted as soon as the communication has been completed and no statutory retention obligations preclude deletion.

8. Your rights

You have the right to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to have this data corrected or deleted.

For related requests or further questions about data protection, please contact: info@tech-academy.ch

9. SSL encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL encryption (HTTPS). You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

10. Changes

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes in our services. The new privacy policy will then apply on your next visit.
