Privacy Policy

Alpenblick Café is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our site or use our online platform. By using our service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in various ways. The information we may collect on our site includes:

Personal Data: Information that you voluntarily provide to us when expressing an interest in obtaining information about us or our services, or otherwise contacting us. This may include your name and other contact details if you provide them through a web form or other means on the site where explicitly requested for a specific purpose (like requesting information about an event, if such features exist). We avoid collecting sensitive personal data unless absolutely necessary and with your explicit consent.

Derivative Data: Information our servers automatically collect when you access our site, such as your IP address, your browser type, your operating system, your access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the site. This information may be collected via cookies or other tracking technologies.

How We Use Your Information

Having accurate information about you permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via our site to:

• Compile anonymous statistical data and analysis for internal use or with third parties.
• Increase the efficiency and operation of our site.
• Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with our site.
• Notify you of updates to our services (if you have opted in to receive such notifications).
• Respond to your inquiries and offer support.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Necessity for the performance of a contract or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
• Compliance with a legal obligation.
• Where you have given consent to the processing for one or more specific purposes.
• For the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Sharing Your Information

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

• By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
• Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including data analysis, hosting services, and marketing assistance. These third parties are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than to provide the service requested by us.
• Other Third Parties: We may share your information with advertisers and investors for the purpose of conducting general business analysis.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Your Rights

You have several rights regarding your personal data under GDPR and other applicable laws. These rights include:

• The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
• The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
• The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain conditions.
• The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data under certain conditions.
• The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on our site to help customize the site and improve your experience. When you access our site, your personal information is not collected through the use of tracking technology. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the site.

Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. However, Switzerland has been deemed adequate by the EU, and we primarily process data within Switzerland or the EU. If we transfer data outside these areas, we will take steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable law, such as using Standard Contractual Clauses.

Our site is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under 16. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under age 16, please contact us using the contact information provided below.
