Privacy Policy

This English version is provided for convenience. In case of any discrepancy, the German version is legally binding.

1. Controller

2. General information

The protection of your personal data is important to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations, in particular the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as this privacy policy.

As a rule, our website can be used without providing any personal data. Where personal data (for example name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible.

3. Collection and processing of data

3.1 Server log files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources. The data is deleted after statistical evaluation.

3.2 Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent. You may withdraw this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this purpose.

3.3 Contact by email

If you contact us by email, your email address and the information you provide will be stored in order to process your enquiry. This data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was processed.

4. Cookies and your consent

We set no cookies of our own to operate this website. The site works entirely without them. Cookies are set exclusively by Google Analytics – and only if you have expressly consented to this.

4.1 Consent banner

On your first visit, a banner asks whether we may statistically evaluate your use of the website. As long as you have not consented, Google Analytics is not loaded at all – so no connection to Google is established and no cookies are set.

If you choose “Necessary only”, this remains the case permanently. If you choose “Accept all”, Google Analytics is loaded as described in section 5.1.

4.2 Storage of your choice

So that the banner does not reappear on every visit, we store your choice locally in your browser (localStorage, key impuls-consent). Only your choice (consented yes/no) and the time of the choice are stored. This information does not leave your browser and is not transmitted to us or to third parties. It is not a cookie.

4.3 Withdrawing or changing your consent

You can change your choice at any time: at the bottom of every page you will find the item Cookie settings. This reopens the banner so that you can choose again. A withdrawal takes effect for the future; statistical data already collected remains unaffected.

In addition, you can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases or to block them altogether. The local storage mentioned above can also be deleted via your browser’s website data settings.

5. Analytics tools and Google services

5.1 Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics is only loaded if you have chosen “Accept all” in the consent banner. Without your consent, the script is not embedded, there is no connection to Google and no cookies are set. The legal basis is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via the cookie settings.

Once you have consented, Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation is active on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting the settings of your browser software accordingly. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected by Google, and the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

5.2 Google Maps

On the contact page we embed a map from the Google Maps service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The map is only loaded when you click “Load map”. Only with this click does your browser establish a connection to Google; in doing so, your IP address and technical information about your browser are transmitted to Google, and Google may set cookies. Without a click, no data is transmitted to Google.

We store your choice exclusively locally in your browser (localStorage) so that the map is displayed directly on later visits. You can delete this setting at any time via your browser’s website data settings. Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

5.3 Google reviews

On our website we display the overall rating of our Google Business Profile as well as publicly visible Google reviews. We retrieve this data server-side via the Google Places API and cache it. Your browser does not establish a connection to Google in the process; no profile pictures are loaded from Google servers.

The links “View all reviews” and “Write a review” lead to Google. When you open these links, Google’s privacy policy applies.

6. Your rights

You have the right at any time:

• to obtain information about the personal data we hold about you
• to request the rectification of inaccurate data
• to request the erasure of your data
• to request the restriction of the processing of your data
• to object to the processing of your data
• to receive your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (data portability)

To exercise your rights, please contact us at info@impulsai.ch.

7. Data security

We use technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against manipulation, loss, destruction or unauthorised access. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

However, data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

8. Disclosure of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below:

• You have given your express consent
• The disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
• The disclosure is made to processors (e.g. hosting providers) who are contractually obliged to comply with data protection regulations
• There is a legal obligation to disclose the data

9. Retention period

We store personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by statutory retention periods.

10. Changes to this privacy policy

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

11. Contact
