Privacy policy

In general:

Via Integralis respects and protects your personal privacy.

Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Confederation (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to protection of their privacy as well as protection against misuse of their personal data. Via Integralis takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

This privacy policy applies to all services offered by via integralis. It does not apply to the services of other organizations, agencies or individuals or to third-party websites linked to ours.

The following regulations inform you in this respect about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, use and processing of personal data by viaintegralis.ch.

We would like to point out that internet-based data transmission has security gaps and complete protection against access by third parties is therefore impossible. Email communication takes place over an open network that is accessible to everyone and crosses borders. It can therefore not be ruled out that data sent in this way can be viewed by third parties and thus also that contact can be made with viaintegralis.ch.

This policy explains when and why we collect personal information about users of our website and services, how we use that information, under what circumstances, if any, we disclose the information to third parties and how we keep the information secure.

We may amend this privacy policy at any time without notice. The current version published on our website shall apply. Where the Privacy Policy forms part of an agreement with you, we will notify you of the change by email or other appropriate means. By using our website and services, you agree to be bound by this policy.

If you have any questions about this policy and our privacy practices, please send an email to info@viaintegralis.ch.
