privacy policy

introduction

In this privacy policy, I, Michael Ausfeld, describe the practices I follow with respect to data collected from users who access my website at www.ra-ausfeld.ch or otherwise provide me with personal information.

basis for data collection

The processing of your personal data (i.e. any data that allows you to be identified by reasonable means: for example, requests sent to me by email) is necessary to fulfil my obligations to you, to provide you with my services, to protect my legitimate interests and to comply with legal and financial regulatory obligations to which I am subject.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure and other uses of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Please read the privacy policy carefully before making any decisions.

What data is collected?

I collect two types of data and information from users.

The first category includes non-identifying and non-identifiable user data provided or collected through the use of the website (Non-Personal Data). I do not know the identity of the user from whom Non-Personal Data was collected. The Non-Personal Data that may be collected includes aggregated usage data and technical data transmitted by your device, including certain information regarding software and hardware (e.g. browser and operating system used on the device, language preference, access time, etc.). I use this data to improve the functionality of my website. I may also collect data about your activity on the website (e.g. pages viewed, browsing behavior, clicks, actions, etc.).

The second category includes personal data, i.e. data that identifies an individual or can be identified through reasonable measures. Such data includes:

• Device Data: I collect personal data from your device. Such data includes geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g. MAC address and UUID), and other data resulting from your activity on the Website.
• Actual registration is not possible on my website.
• Only data that I receive as a result of an email inquiry will be recorded. Any additional information of a case-specific nature contained therein is also subject to attorney-client privilege.

How do I get data about you?

I obtain your personal data from various sources:

• I receive such data when you visit my website and contact me via email.
• I receive such data from other providers, services and from public registers (for example from data traffic analysis providers).

What data is collected?

As a general rule, I do not pass on user data to third parties.

I use data exclusively in connection with my professional practice as a lawyer. Attorney-client privilege applies.

user rights

You have the following rights and can:

1. Request confirmation as to whether and to what extent your personal data is used and processed, as well as access to the personal data stored about you and additional information
2. Request a copy of the personal data you have voluntarily provided to me in a structured, common and machine-readable format
3. Request a correction of the personal data I have stored about you
4. Request the deletion of your personal data
5. Object to the processing of your personal data by me
6. Request that I restrict the processing of your personal data
7. Submit a complaint to a supervisory authority

Please note, however, that these rights are not absolute but are subject to my own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights listed here or would like further information, please contact me at:

ma@ra-ausfeld.ch or by post to Michael Ausfeld, Werdstrasse 36, PO Box, 8036 Zurich

storage

I will retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide my services, comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes, and enforce my professional practices. The retention periods depend on the type of data collected and the purpose for which the data was collected, taking into account both the specific circumstances of the case and the need to delete outdated, unused information as soon as possible.

I may correct, complete or remove incomplete or inaccurate data at any time and at my sole discretion.

Cookies

I and my trusted partners use cookies and other technologies when you visit my website or access the contact option.

A "cookie" is a small file that a website assigns to your device when you visit it. Cookies are very useful and can be used for various purposes. These include making page navigation easier, enabling certain features to be activated automatically, saving your preferences and enabling quick and easy interaction between you and me.

The following types of cookies are used on the website:

a. "Session cookies" are used only temporarily during a browser session to enable normal system usage. These cookies are deleted from your device once the browser is closed.

b. "Persistent cookies" are only read by the website, stored on your computer for a specified period of time and not deleted when the browser is closed. Such cookies are used to recognize you on a repeat visit.

c. “Third-party cookies” are placed by other online services that execute content on the page displayed, for example by external analytics companies that monitor and analyze access to our website.

Cookies do not contain any data that can be used to identify you. Personal data stored about you may be linked to the data stored and retrieved from cookies. Information on how to remove these cookies is available in the device settings instructions. Please note that by disabling cookies, some features of our website may no longer work properly and your online experience may be limited.

The tool "Google Analytics" is also used to collect data about your use of the website. For example, Google Analytics records how often the website is visited, which pages are viewed during a visit, etc. I only use the Google Analytics data to improve the website. Google Analytics records the IP address assigned to you on the day you visit the website and not your name or other identifiable data. I do not combine the Google Analytics data collected with personally identifiable information. Google's ability to use and share the data collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this website is subject to the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy

The Microsoft analysis tool is also used. In this regard, the corresponding data protection provisions apply at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement

collection of data by third parties

This policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. When you post information on other websites or disclose it to third parties on the Internet, different terms may apply, so please always read the terms and conditions and privacy policies carefully when you disclose information.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that are not owned or controlled by me.

How do I protect your data?

I implement the security measures on the website with great care and protect your data. However, I cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who have gained unauthorized access to my website or who misuse it, and I give no warranty, express or implied, that I could prevent such access.

Updates or changes to this Privacy Policy

I reserve the right to change or review this Privacy Policy from time to time. You will find the date of the current version under "Last Modified". Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of such changes on my website constitutes your acceptance of such changes to the Privacy Policy and your agreement to be bound by the modified terms.
