Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is important to me. Personal data is processed in accordance with the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (revDSG) and applicable provisions. Below I inform you about the nature, scope and purpose of processing in connection with this website.

Controller

Winterlegal, Attorney-at-law MLaw Steven Winter, Seestrasse 41, 8002 Zurich (mailing address: P.O. Box 1878, 8027 Zurich). Contact: [email protected], +41 43 234 95 25.

Data processed and purposes

When you contact me by e-mail or telephone, I process the information you provide (e.g. name, contact details, content of your enquiry) to handle your matter and for the possible establishment and performance of a mandate. Processing is carried out for the initiation or performance of a contract and on the basis of legitimate interests in efficient communication.

Hosting

This website is hosted by Cloudflare. In doing so, technical data (see server logs) may be processed by the hosting provider. Data processing abroad cannot be excluded; in that case an adequate level of data protection is ensured by appropriate safeguards.

Server log files

When the website is accessed, data transmitted by your browser is automatically collected (e.g. IP address in abbreviated form, date and time of access, page accessed, browser type). This data serves technical provision, security and stability and is not merged with other data sources.

Statistics / web analytics

Web analytics services may be used to improve the offering. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”). In doing so, Google processes usage information (e.g. abbreviated IP address, pages accessed, time and duration of the visit, approximate location, device and browser used) in pseudonymous form in order to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on website activity.

You can prevent collection by Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on provided by Google (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) or by adjusting the relevant settings in your browser (e.g. blocking analytics cookies). Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

Cookies

Cookies and comparable technologies may be used for the operation of the website and for the web analytics described above. You can prevent or restrict the setting of cookies via your browser settings. For the display of embedded content (e.g. the map service on the contact page), data may be processed by the respective third-party provider as soon as this content is loaded.

Disclosure to third parties

Your data is disclosed only insofar as this is necessary to handle your matter, you have consented, or a legal or professional obligation exists. Attorney–client privilege is maintained in every case.

Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the stated purposes or on account of statutory and professional retention obligations.

Your rights

Within the framework of applicable law, you have the right to information about the personal data processed as well as to rectification, deletion or restriction of processing. A notice to the contact details above suffices to exercise these rights. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
