3. General Principles
3.1 What data do we collect from you and from whom do we receive this data?
We primarily process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect when you use our website. We may also receive personal data about you from third parties. This could include the following categories:
- Personal data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
- Contact details (mobile phone number, email address, etc.);
- Financial data (e.g., account details);
- Online identifiers (e.g., cookie identifiers, IP addresses);
- Location and traffic data;
- Audio and video recordings;
- particularly sensitive data (e.g. biometric data or information about your health).
3.2 Under what conditions do we process your data?
We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this privacy policy. We ensure transparent and proportionate processing.
If, in exceptional cases, we are unable to comply with these principles, data processing may still be lawful because a legal justification exists. A possible legal justification includes, in particular:
- Your consent;
- the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
- our legitimate interests, unless your interests override them.
3.3 How can you withdraw your consent?
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent, unless we have another legal basis for doing so.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address listed in the legal notice. This does not affect data processing that has already taken place.
3.4 In which cases can we share your data with third parties?
a. principle
We may need to use the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called data processors). Categories of recipients include, in particular:
- Accounting, trust and auditing firms;
- Consulting firms (legal advice, taxes, etc.);
- IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);
- Payment service provider;
- Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services.
We ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.
Under certain circumstances, we may also be obliged to disclose your personal data to authorities.
b. Visit our social media channels
We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This is always clearly visible (typically via corresponding icons). Clicking on the icons will redirect you to our social media channels.
In this case, the social media providers will learn that you are accessing their platform from our website. The social media providers can use the data collected in this way for their own purposes. Please note that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how it is used by the operators.
c. Transfer abroad
In some cases, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad as part of order processing. These companies are bound by the same data protection obligations as we are. This transfer may occur worldwide.
If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we conduct a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same level of protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (e.g., by means of the EU Commission's new Standard Contractual Clauses or other legally required measures). Should our risk assessment be negative, we will implement additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses at the following link: https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de
3.5 How long do we keep your data?
We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the individual purposes for which the data was collected.
Data we collect when you visit our website is stored for twelve months. An exception applies to analytics and tracking data, which may be stored for a longer period.
We store contract data for longer periods because we are legally obligated to do so. In particular, we must retain business correspondence, concluded contracts, and booking documents for up to 10 years. If we no longer require such data from you to provide services, the data will be blocked and used only for accounting and tax purposes.
3.6 How do we protect your data?
We will keep your data secure and take all reasonable measures to protect your data from loss, access, misuse or alteration.
Our contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obligated to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it will be necessary for us to forward your inquiries to affiliated companies. Even in these cases, your data will be treated confidentially.
Within our website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.
3.7 What rights do you have?
a. Right to information
You can request information about the data we have stored about you at any time. Please send your request, along with proof of identity, to mail@reglas.energy.
You also have the right to receive your data in a commonly used file format if we process your data automatically, and if:
- You have given your consent to the processing of this data; or
- You have disclosed data in connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract.
We may restrict or refuse to provide information or data if this conflicts with our legal obligations, legitimate interests of our own or public interests, or the interests of a third party.
Your application will be processed within the statutory processing time of 30 days. However, we may extend this period due to a high volume of requests, for legal or technical reasons, or because we require further information from you. You will be informed of any extension in good time, at least in writing.
b. Deletion and correction
You have the right to request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject your request if legal regulations require us to retain the data for a longer period or in its original form, or if a legal basis for processing your data precludes your request.
Please note that exercising your rights may conflict with contractual agreements and have corresponding effects on the performance of the contract (e.g., premature termination of the contract or cost consequences).
c. Legal recourse
If you are affected by the processing of your personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch

What information do we receive and how do we use it?

4.2 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"), on our website. Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
4.3 Google Fonts API
On our website, we use the Google Fonts API, a service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"), to integrate fonts. By integrating these fonts, your browser will establish a connection to Google's servers when you visit our website in order to download and display the fonts correctly.
This connection allows data, in particular your IP address and information about the browser you are using, to be transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers. These servers may be located in the USA or other countries.
If you wish to prevent the transfer of data via the Google Fonts API, you can block access to the domain fonts.googleapis.com in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, our website may not display correctly.
4.4 Google Maps
On our website we use Google Maps, a map service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Google Maps allows us to integrate interactive maps directly into the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function, for example for location searches or route planning.
By visiting our website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. Furthermore, additional data, in particular your IP address, is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers. These servers may be located in the USA or other countries. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into, or whether no user account exists.
Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or to tailor its website to your needs. This analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide targeted advertising.
You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact Google.
4.5 WordPress
Our website is based on the WordPress platform, a content management system developed by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. WordPress allows us to create, manage, and publish content.
When you use our website, which is based on WordPress, various data, including your IP address, the date and time of access, and information about the browser you are using, may be collected and stored. This data is primarily used for administrative purposes and to ensure the smooth operation of the website.
Some WordPress features, such as comments or contact forms, may collect additional personal data when you use them.
4.6 Google reCaptcha
To protect against unwanted requests submitted via the online form on our website, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). This query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. As part of this query, information such as your IP address or your behavior while filling out the form may be transmitted to Google.
For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and processed there. By using reCAPTCHA, you agree that your recognition efforts will contribute to the digitization of old works. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data.
