Privacy policy
This privacy policy explains which personal data I process in connection with this website and my services. It is governed by the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In case of doubt, the German version applies.

Principle: as little data as possible
This website is deliberately lean. It uses no advertising networks and no embedded social media content. Fonts and images are loaded directly from our own server. Cookies are set and data is sent to Google only if you expressly agree to visitor analysis with Google Analytics (see below). Without your consent, no data is transmitted to Google or other third parties when you visit the website.
Hosting and server log files
The website is hosted by hosttech GmbH (Switzerland). When you visit the website, the server automatically stores technical information in log files: IP address, date and time of access, page requested, amount of data transferred, browser and operating system, and the previously visited page (referrer). This data is required for the secure and stable operation of the website, is not combined with other data and is deleted automatically after a short period.
Visitor analysis with Google Analytics (only with your consent)
If you click “Accept” in the notice, I use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics sets the cookies “_ga” and “_ga_1L589F55NR” containing a randomly generated identifier; they are deleted automatically 13 months after your last visit. Google Analytics records information about how the website is used, such as pages viewed, time spent, approximate origin (country/region), device type, browser and the website you came from. I use these reports only in aggregated form to improve the website.
Your IP address is transmitted to Google and used only to determine your approximate location; Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses. Advertising cookies and personalised advertising are switched off on this website. The data may be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA. The transfer is based on the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, in which Google participates, and on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. The analysed data is deleted by Google after 14 months at the latest.
The legal basis is your consent. You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. Google Analytics is then switched off immediately and the Google cookies are deleted. If you click “Decline”, Google Analytics is not loaded at all. Your choice is stored only in your own browser (local storage, not a cookie) so that the notice does not appear on every visit. Further information: Google’s privacy policy.
Contact form
If you write to me via the form, I process the information you enter (interest, first and last name, e-mail address, optionally your phone number and your message) solely to answer your enquiry, to prepare quotes and to provide the agreed services. You will receive a confirmation by e-mail. To protect against spam, your IP address is additionally stored on the server in shortened form (the last digits are removed) as a hash value. After one hour the entry is no longer used and is deleted automatically the next time the form is submitted.
I do not pass your details on to third parties. I delete them as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose and no statutory retention obligations apply.
Translation assignments
Texts you provide to me for translation or proofreading are treated confidentially and used solely for the respective assignment.
Phone and e-mail
If you contact me directly by phone or e-mail, I likewise process your details only to deal with your request.
Data security
The entire website is transmitted encrypted via HTTPS. I take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data against loss and unauthorised access.
Your rights
You have the right to request information about the data stored about you, to have incorrect data corrected and data deleted, to request the restriction of processing, to obtain your data in a common electronic format (data portability), and to object to processing or withdraw consent given. Please contact marco.salzmann@iksa.ch. You may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority; in Switzerland this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). Persons in the EU may also contact the data protection authority of their country of residence.
Changes
I may amend this privacy policy at any time. The current version published on this website applies.
