In this privacy policy, we explain how we process personal data in connection with datenrecht.ch, because we do this in accordance with the DSG but also in the vague hope that you may find this information helpful. If not, please feel free to contact us.
Incidentally, datenrecht.ch is only aimed at companies based in Switzerland, which is why the GDPR should not apply to us. If we subsequently refer to the GDPR anyway, it is only because nobody knows for sure whether the GDPR might still be applicable.
Walder Wyss AG is the “controller”, i.e. the party primarily responsible under data protection law, for data processing pursuant to this Privacy Notice:

We process this data for the following purposes:
datenrecht.ch is meant for companies in Switzerland. Should the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) nevertheless apply, the processing of personal data is based on the following legal grounds:
You are not obliged to provide us with data. However, we cannot send you newsletters without personal data. You can always subscribe to our updates via RSS feed, we do not receive any personal data from you in the process.
We may disclose Personal Data to recipients in the following categories:
These recipients are located in Switzerland (e.g. for hosting), in the USA (Intuit or Mailchimp and OpenAI) and potentially worldwide (e.g. subcontractors of the recipients or authorities). If there is a lack of adequate data protection there, we conclude corresponding contracts, e.g. the so-called Standard Contractual Clauses. In certain cases, we may also transfer data without such contracts, e.g. if you have proivded separate consent to the relevant disclosure – which you do with respect to Intuit or Mailchimp when subscribing for our newsletter – or if the disclosure is necessary for the performance of the contract, for the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims or for overriding public interests.
When using our website or the chatbot, data is generated that is stored in logs (IP address of the end device, etc.). This data is not personal for us.
We also use cookies and other technologies. This allows us to distinguish individual visitors, but without wanting or being able to identify them. Other technologies serve the same purpose. We use log data and data we collect via cookies and similar technologies so that our website can be used and to understand user behavior. You can configure your browser in the settings to block certain cookies or similar technologies, or delete cookies and other stored data. You can find out more about this in the help pages of your browser (usually under the keyword “Privacy”).
We use Google Analytics, an analysis service provided by Google LLC (Mountain View, USA) and Google Ireland Ltd (Dublin, Ireland). Google collects certain information about the behavior of users on the website and about the terminal device used. The IP addresses of visitors are shortened in Europe before being forwarded to the USA. Google provides us with evaluations based on the recorded data, but also processes certain data for its own purposes. Information on the data protection of Google Analytics can be found here, and if you have a Google account you can find more details here. You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by selecting the appropriate Add-On Install
