2. Personal data we process

We process personal data in particular when you visit our website or communicate with us. This includes the following categories of data:

• Server and usage data: IP address, date and time of access, pages accessed, amount of data transferred, browser type and version, operating system and the referrer URL.
• Contact data: name, email address and the content of your message, as well as any other information you voluntarily provide via the contact form or by email.
• Booking-related data: if you book our apartment via Airbnb, the relevant booking data is primarily processed by Airbnb in accordance with their own privacy policy. We receive only the information necessary to prepare and manage your stay.
• Cookies and similar technologies: technical cookies that are necessary for the operation and security of the website and, if you consent, optional cookies for analytics and marketing.

3. Purposes and legal bases

We process personal data for the following purposes, based on the applicable legal bases under Swiss data protection law and, where relevant, the EU GDPR:

• Operation, security and optimisation of our website (ensuring stability, performance and protection against misuse).
• Communication with you, in particular to respond to enquiries and messages from (prospective) guests.
• Planning, execution and management of stays in our apartment, including pre- and post-stay communication.
• Compliance with legal obligations, for example in the areas of accounting, tax and reporting duties.
• If used, analysis of website usage to improve our content and services, based on your consent.

4. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website and, if you consent, to analyse usage and improve our offering.

• Essential cookies: these cookies are necessary for the technical operation of the website, for example to display pages correctly or to remember your cookie preferences. They cannot be deactivated in our systems.
• Optional cookies (analytics/marketing): these cookies are used only with your consent. They help us understand how visitors use the website and to improve structure, content and usability.

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner. There you can accept all cookies, allow only essential cookies or make an individual selection. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings on the website or by deleting cookies in your browser.

5. Recipients and data transfers

We only share personal data with third parties where this is necessary for the purposes described in this privacy policy, where we are legally obliged to do so or where you have given your consent. This includes in particular IT and hosting providers, service providers acting on our behalf (such as email providers or web agencies), Airbnb as an independent controller for bookings made via their platform, as well as authorities, courts or legal advisors if this is necessary to comply with legal obligations or to assert or defend legal claims. Data may be processed in countries outside Switzerland and the EU/EEA. In such cases, we ensure appropriate protection of personal data in accordance with legal requirements.

6. Storage periods

We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or as required by law. In particular, server log data is usually stored for a short period for security reasons and then deleted or anonymised, contact enquiries are kept for as long as necessary to process your request and for subsequent documentation, and booking-related data is stored for the duration of the contractual relationship and beyond that for the statutory retention periods.

7. Your rights

Under applicable data protection law, you have various rights in relation to your personal data. These include in particular:

• the right to obtain information about the personal data we hold about you;
• the right to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected;
• the right to request the deletion of personal data, where the legal requirements are met;
• the right to request restriction of processing under certain conditions;
• the right to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to have it transmitted to another controller, where applicable;
• the right to object to the processing of personal data based on our legitimate interests;
• the right to withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future, where processing is based on your consent.

To exercise these rights, you can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in this privacy policy. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Switzerland this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). If the GDPR applies, you may alternatively contact the competent authority in your EU/EEA country of residence.

8. Changes to this privacy policy

We may adapt this privacy policy from time to time, for example if we change our data processing practices or if legal requirements change. The current version published on this website at the time of your visit applies. The last update date is indicated at the end of this policy.
