Protecting the privacy of our website users is very important to us. Our content can be accessed without registration. We may use industry-standard technologies to measure and improve our website’s performance and collect data for this purpose. In some cases, we work with third-party service providers. This Privacy Policy provides information regarding the nature, scope, and purpose of the use of personal data.
What data do we collect and for what purposes?
We host our website with Infomaniak Network SA (Rue Eugène-Marziano 25, 1227 Les Acacias, Geneva, Switzerland). Data is processed in Swiss data centers. Infomaniak automatically stores data such as IP address, date/time, pages visited, and browser type. This data processing is used to provide and secure the website. Infomaniak uses cookies to enable website features and analyze usage. For more information on the technologies used, please refer to Infomaniak’s FAQ.
Do we disclose your data to third parties?
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if you give your express consent, if we are legally required or permitted to do so, if the disclosure is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or if the disclosure of the data is necessary to fulfill the contract we have entered into with you.
How secure is your data?
We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data from manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. When you visit our website, SSL encryption is used. We store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the contract, or for as long as required by legal retention and documentation obligations, or if we have an overriding private or public interest in doing so.
Your data when making inquiries
This Privacy Policy applies to general inquiries or those related to the execution of assignments or mandates, even if no contractual or client-attorney relationship exists. The confidentiality typically expected in attorney-client communications is not guaranteed in email correspondence. We assume that individuals who communicate via email consent to this form of communication and thereby consent to the use of email to respond to inquiries.
What are your rights regarding your data?
You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict the processing of, and transfer your data, as well as the right to withdraw your consent and the right to object. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection laws, you may report this to us or to the competent supervisory authority (Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, FDPIC). You have the right to object to our data processing that is based on our legitimate interest or carried out for direct marketing purposes.
How can we change this data protection notice?
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. We therefore recommend that you review the Privacy Policy on our website regularly. Last updated: March 2026.
