Data Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Basics

Ashley Ringger is the operator of the website ashleyringger.ch. We attach great importance to respecting your privacy and protecting your personal data.

When you visit our website, contact us, and within the scope of our activities, we process personal data. In doing so, we comply with the legal requirements applicable to this data processing and take appropriate and suitable organizational and technical measures to ensure data protection and data security.

With this Privacy Policy, we inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of data processing, as well as your rights as a data subject. We are happy to assist you with any questions or uncertainties.

Our service and this website are aimed at people in Switzerland.

If we actively share data with partner companies, this is listed separately and only takes place with your consent. When you visit our presences on social media, the terms and conditions of the respective operator also apply.

1.1. Contact Persons

The responsibility for the processing of personal data lies with the operator of this website:

ARC - A Ringger Company, Ashley Ringger, coaching psychologist and professional development expert, Alte Obfelderstrasse 57, 8910 Affoltern am Albis, Zurich, Switzerland; hello(at)ashleyringger.ch

Our contact person for your questions and concerns regarding data protection, whether you are a data subject or an authority, is:

Ashley Ringger, hello(at)ashleyringger.ch

1.2. Legal Basis

Our processing of personal data is governed by the provisions of Swiss data protection law. These include, in particular:

• Federal Act on Data Protection of September 25, 2020 (Data Protection Act, DPA; SR 235.1)

• Ordinance on Data Protection of August 31, 2022 (Data Protection Ordinance, DPO; SR 235.11)

1.3. Terminology

The terms used in this Privacy Policy are based on the definition in Article 5 of the Data Protection Act:

• Personal Data: all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

• Data Subject: natural person about whom personal data is processed.

• Sensitive Personal Data: data about religious, philosophical, political or trade union views or activities, data about health, the intimate sphere or racial or ethnic origin, genetic data, biometric data that uniquely identifies a natural person, data about administrative and criminal prosecutions or sanctions, and data about social assistance measures.

• Processing: any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the collection, storage, retention, use, modification, disclosure, archiving, deletion or destruction of data.

• Disclosure: the transmission or making accessible of personal data.

• Processor: private person or federal body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

1.4. Data Processing by Third Parties (Processors)

When processing personal data, we sometimes use services and tools from specialized external providers.

Although we do not actively share the personal data with them, these providers, as so-called processors, may be able to view the data.

We have carefully selected the processors and concluded data processing agreements with them, unless they are already otherwise obligated to protect the personal data viewed. In this way, we protect the processed personal data in the best possible way.

1.5. Data Disclosure Abroad

We process personal data in Switzerland and, as part of order data processing, also outside of Switzerland.

Data disclosure abroad takes place either in states, territories, specific sectors in a state and international organizations with an adequate level of data protection, which are listed in Annex 1 to the Data Protection Ordinance, or where an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in another way, for example through the use of standard data protection clauses or the standard contractual clauses recognized by the European Commission, specific contractual agreements or other guarantees.

Should, in exceptional cases, personal data be disclosed to states without an adequate or appropriate level of data protection, this will only take place with the express consent of the data subjects or for the conclusion or performance of a contract with a contractual partner in that country.

1.6. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the confidentiality of your personal data. In terms of access control, only authorized persons have access only to the personal data they need to perform their duties. Likewise, only authorized persons have access to the premises and facilities where personal data is processed. Furthermore, access to electronically processed data is password-protected.

All data transmitted via our website is encrypted using SSL/TLS or HTTPS. You can recognize the transport encryption by the padlock symbol in the address bar of most browsers. However, we point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of your data against access by third parties and security authorities from home and abroad is not possible.

2. Type, Scope, and Purpose of Data Processing

Within the scope of our activities, we process personal data with the purpose of being able to offer our services and perform our activities in the best possible way. Our data processing is lawful, done in good faith, and is proportionate.

We only process personal data after your consent or if the processing is justified or necessary for other legal reasons. Additionally, we may process personal data that we obtain from publicly available sources (e.g., registers), receive from third parties, or collect during the course of our activities, provided that the legal requirements permit or provide for their processing.

Our processing is limited to the necessary data and takes place for the required duration. Personal data that is no longer required is anonymized or deleted.

To be able to provide our internet presence and our activities, we also use services from specialized third parties. These services are integrated and embedded in our website, whereby it is technically necessary that certain data – usually aggregated, anonymized, or pseudonymized – is transmitted to the respective provider or can be viewed by them. The services used are listed individually in this Privacy Policy.

2.1. When Using Our Website

When visiting our website, personal data is collected, which may include, in addition to contact and content data, your browser and device data, metadata, usage data, peripheral data, and location data. This data does not allow direct conclusions to be drawn about you.

The data received when filling out and submitting order forms is subject to a statutory retention period. If payment data is also collected via an external payment provider, we only have limited insight into this data.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies, both our own cookies (First-party cookies) and those from third-party providers (Third-party Cookies). Cookies are small files in text or other form that are created by your browser and store data in the browser. They are either automatically deleted when the browser is closed ("Session Cookies") or remain stored for a certain duration, but for a maximum of one year ("Permanent Cookies"). Thanks to permanent cookies, we can measure your repeated visit to our website.

There are several types of cookies that may occur on our website:

• Necessary Cookies: They are necessary for the functioning of our website.

• Functional and performance-related Cookies: They save your settings for the screen layout and language for the best possible visitor experience. Information about the use of our website is also collected with the purpose of improving the attractiveness, content, and functionality of our website.

• Cookies for measuring visitor numbers: They are used to create statistics to optimize the performance of our website.

• Third-party advertising cookies: They can be used for online marketing.

You can specify in your browser settings at any time whether cookies should be allowed, partially or completely deactivated, and when they should be deleted. Please note that if cookies are completely deactivated, our website may no longer be usable or only to a limited extent.

Measurement of Visitor Numbers

We record visits to our website to determine how our online offering is used and to use this knowledge to improve the user experience. The Internet Protocol addresses (IP addresses) may be stored, whereby the IP addresses are generally shortened and thus do not allow direct conclusions to be drawn about individual persons.

For the optimal measurement of visitor numbers, i.e., success and reach measurement, we use third-party services, specifically Google Analytics. The use is governed by the provider's data protection provisions.

Google Analytics is an analysis tool that statistically evaluates visitor access to the web server and is part of the website software. Access to this data is password-protected and is only possible for authorized users, i.e., the owners of the hosting and – upon the express request of the owners – the server administrator.

The collection, processing, and use of this data are only for statistical purposes and for the optimization of our content.

Server Log Files

Our server can record your visit to our website and thereby logs the following data transmitted by your browser:

• Date and time as well as the time zone

• Internet Protocol Address (IP address)

• Operating system including information about the user interface and version

• Browser including language and version

• The individual pages of our website called up during your visit, including the transmitted data volume and the dwell time

• The origin of your visit, e.g., whether you accessed our website via a link on another website or a social media post.

This information is stored in server log files and is required to provide our website in a user-friendly and permanent manner.

Fonts

For the optimal display of textual content and symbols on our website using internet fonts, we use third-party services, specifically Google Fonts. Fonts from Google are embedded on our website.

• General information on Google Fonts

• Data protection information from Google Fonts

Plugins, Extensions, etc.

In addition to the basic installation of our Content Management System (CMS), which allows us easy management of our website content, we use extensions, so-called plugins/extensions, provided by third parties to offer an optimal user experience and to protect our online offering. This protection is only possible through the examination of IP addresses. The use is governed by the data protection provisions of the providers. The IP addresses in the log are not evaluated and are deleted after 30 days.

2.2. Upon Contacting Us

When you contact us by letter post, e-mail, contact form, telephone, SMS, WhatsApp, on social media, or in any other way, we process the data you transmit, as well as related peripheral data (e.g., time of receipt, telephone number), in order to respond to your contact request in accordance with your concern.

Contact Form

For the optimal provision of contact forms and the transmission of the content filled in them, we use third-party services, specifically Google Forms. The content of the completed form is transmitted via e-mail and thus over the Internet – an open, publicly accessible network. The transmission of this data is therefore generally to be regarded as insecure. This message is also unencrypted, and it is beyond our control which providers appear during the transmission and delivery of the message. We therefore recommend letter post for confidential transmission of concerns. If the form contents are stored, this happens exclusively on our web server.

The submission of the contact form may be made dependent on a confirmation that the person filling it out is human. For the provision of this verification, we use third-party services, specifically Google ReCaptcha. The use is governed by the provider's data protection provisions.

Address Management

We may store your contact details in an address management or CRM system. We retain your contact request if it meets the requirements of the statutory retention obligation.

2.3. In the Context of Communication Measures

We may send notifications via e-mail, newsletter, direct message, SMS, or WhatsApp. You generally receive these only after your express consent via Double Opt-in, by receiving and clicking a confirmation link or confirming your consent in a comparable manner and simultaneously verifying your e-mail address or mobile phone number. This confirmation can be logged by us, whereby the Internet Protocol address (IP address) as well as the date and time are also recorded for evidence purposes.

You can unsubscribe from our automated communication measures at any time, either via a link contained therein, via your possible user profile, or by contacting us with this request. Despite unsubscribing, we will continue to send you necessary communications, for example, within the scope of any contractual relationship.

Our communication measures can record, by means of the links contained therein, tracking pixels, or in a similar manner, whether the individual message is delivered, opened, and clicked. This status is recorded on a personal basis. We require this personal data for statistical purposes, i.e., for measuring the success and reach of our communication measures, and for optimizing these measures based on the needs and preferences of the recipients.

2.4. Data Storage

For the optimal storage and securing of files, we use third-party services, specifically Microsoft and Google. The use is governed by the provider's data protection provisions.

• Data protection information from Microsoft

• Data protection information from Google

2.5. Appointment Scheduling

For optimal appointment scheduling, we use third-party services, specifically Google. The use is governed by the provider's data protection provisions.

• Data protection information from Google Calendar

2.6. Collaboration and Training

For the optimal execution of online training and efficient collaboration with external partners, we use third-party services, specifically Google Meets. The use is governed by the provider's data protection provisions.

• Data protection information from Google Meets

2.7. Trust Services (Fiduciary)

We manage all finances and billing in-house using the same systems previously mentioned: Google and Microsoft

• Data protection information from Google Drive

2.8. On Social Media

We operate profiles on the social media platforms mentioned below to inform about our activities, promote them, and to provide you with an easy contact option if you prefer this over classic communication channels.

• Linkedin: Data protection information from Linkedin

• Instagram: Data protection information from Instagram

Primarily, the terms of use and data protection provisions of these platforms, which you have already agreed to upon joining the respective platform, apply. Please contact the individual platforms to assert your rights as a data subject in connection with the platform.

3. Your Rights as a Data Subject

We are happy to grant you the following rights, which are provided for by law.

• Right of access to whether we process personal data about you and, if so, what kind it is. You receive the information necessary so that you can assert your rights under the Data Protection Act and transparent data processing is guaranteed. This includes, among other things, the purpose of processing, the retention period, the disclosure abroad, as well as the origin, provided the data was not collected directly from you. We generally provide this information within 30 days. We may refuse access if this is provided for by a law in the formal sense, namely to protect a professional secret, if it is necessary due to overriding interests of third parties, or if the request for access is obviously unfounded, namely if it pursues a purpose contrary to data protection or is obviously vexatious.

• Right to data portability and transfer of your personal data in a common electronic format. This includes data that you have knowingly and willingly provided to us, as well as data that we have collected during your use of a service or device.

• Right to object, on the one hand, to the data disclosure to third parties and abroad. The Data Protection Act provides for exceptions in which disclosure is nevertheless necessary. On the other hand, you can object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising or profiling in connection with direct advertising, or generally object to the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you can revoke the previously granted data protection consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.

• Right to rectification of incorrect data, provided no statutory provision prohibits the change. Rectification also includes the completion or restriction of the processing of your personal data.

• Right to deletion and destruction of data and objection to future processing of new personal data about you. If your data is subject to a statutory retention obligation, the deletion or destruction takes place after its expiry.

• Right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority (in Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner FDPI), if we do not comply with our data protection obligations.

Please note that, in all the cases mentioned, we are legally obliged to verify your identity in advance to exclude confusion or incorrect data disclosure, in order to protect your personal data. You have a duty to cooperate in this process.

The granting of these rights is generally free of charge. Should costs of a maximum of 300 Swiss francs nevertheless be imposed in exceptional cases, namely if the effort is disproportionate, we will consult with you beforehand. If you do not confirm your request in this case within ten days, it is considered withdrawn without cost consequences.
