Privacy policy

The controller for the data processing under revFADP and GDPR is Holenweg Architekten GmbH, Rütistrasse 9, 9658 Wildhaus, Switzerland. For questions about data protection you can reach us at info@holenweg.ch.

We have not appointed a data protection officer; a studio of our size is not required to. [If an EU representative is appointed, add it here - placeholder]

When you use our contact form, we collect only the data you actively provide:

We process your data solely to answer your enquiry and to initiate a possible collaboration.

Under the GDPR we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), the initiation or performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b), e.g. for a project enquiry) and our legitimate interest in a secure, functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f)). Under the revFADP, processing is based on your consent and our overriding interest in communication and security. You can withdraw any consent given at any time with effect for the future.

To operate the website and process form submissions we use carefully selected service providers who process data solely on our behalf and according to our instructions. A data processing agreement is in place with each of them.

Where a service provider processes data outside Switzerland or the EEA (e.g. in the USA), we ensure an adequate level of protection - for example through the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the Swiss addendum and supplementary safeguards. [Specify the destination country and transfer mechanism before publication - placeholder]

We do not sell your data and do not pass it on to third parties for advertising purposes. Data is only shared where necessary to process your enquiry (for example with specialist planners we bring in) or where we are legally obliged to do so.

We keep your data only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose or required by statutory retention obligations.

Within the scope of applicable law you have the following rights:

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA. In the last twelve months we have collected the following categories of personal information: identifiers (name, email, optional phone) and content you submit (your message), as well as technical internet activity data (server logs). These come directly from you or your device.

You have the right to know what data we collect (Right to Know), to request its deletion (Right to Delete) and to have inaccurate data corrected (Right to Correct). We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights (Non-Discrimination).

This website sets no advertising or tracking cookies and embeds no external analytics services. We use only technically necessary local storage (language, appearance and your cookie choices). Which categories our consent manager governs and how to change your choices at any time is described in our cookie policy.

For access, rectification, deletion, a "Do Not Sell or Share" request or any other data protection matter, please write to us at info@holenweg.ch. To process a requested right we may verify your identity to a reasonable extent. We will handle your request as quickly as possible, usually within the statutory time limits.
