Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Scope

Thank you for your interest in the website Regulatorik.ai. Our services are primarily aimed at visitors from Switzerland. Data protection is of particular importance to BearGuard® Beutelschiess.

As BearGuard Beutelschiess is domiciled in Switzerland and our services are directed at the Swiss market, our data protection provisions are governed by the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

To the extent that the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is mandatorily applicable due to the processing of data of persons from the EU/EEA (e.g. occasional visitors to our website from the EU), we additionally comply with these provisions.

This policy is intended to inform you transparently about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

2. Data Controller and Contact

The controller responsible for data processing within the meaning of the Swiss FADP is:

Data Protection Advisor

We have appointed a data protection advisor who can be reached at [email protected].

3. Data Collection and Legal Basis

We generally only process personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services.

3.2 Contact Form and Email

3.3 Newsletter & Regulatory Updates

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and comparable technologies. You can manage non-essential cookies via our cookie banner ("Consent Manager").

Required for the operation of the site (e.g. session ID, language).

Legal basis: Overriding interest in the usability of the site.

4.2 Analytics & Marketing (e.g. Google Analytics 4)

Note: We only use these services with IP anonymisation.

Server location: Please note that international providers (e.g. Google, LinkedIn) may technically transfer data to the USA. We secure this through appropriate safeguards (see section 6).

Legal basis: Your consent via the cookie banner.

5. Data Sharing

We only share your data if this is necessary for contract performance (e.g. hosting provider, IT service providers), if we are legally obligated to do so, or if you have given your consent.

Our service providers include:

• Hosting: hosttech GmbH
• CRM/Marketing: Google LLC

6. International Data Transfer

Regulatorik.ai preferably processes data in Switzerland. However, through the use of global service providers (software, cloud services), data may also be transferred abroad.

• Switzerland & EU/EEA: Data exchange is unproblematic due to the adequate level of data protection.
• Other countries (e.g. USA): If we transfer data to countries without an adequate level of data protection (according to the Federal Council's country list), we protect it through recognised standard contractual clauses, rely on the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (where the recipient is certified) or on statutory exceptions (consent, contract performance).

7. Data Retention

We only store personal data for as long as necessary for the purpose or as required by statutory retention obligations (e.g. 10 years for business records under Swiss Code of Obligations).

8. Your Rights

Under the Swiss FADP, you have the following rights:

• Access: You may request information about your stored data.
• Rectification: You may request the correction of inaccurate data.
• Erasure: You may request deletion, provided no statutory retention obligation applies.
• Withdrawal: Consents given may be withdrawn at any time.

To exercise these rights, please contact: [email protected].

Right to Complain

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right to file a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) in Bern.

9. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational security measures (TOMs) to protect your data against manipulation, loss and unauthorised access (e.g. SSL encryption, access controls).

10. Changes

BearGuard Beutelschiess reserves the right to amend this privacy policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements.
