Primarily, we process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect while operating our website. Under certain circumstances, we may also receive personal data about you from third parties. These may include the following categories:
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 adhere to these principles, data processing may still be lawful because there is a legal basis. A legal basis may include:
If you have given us 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.
You have the option to revoke your consent at any time by sending an email to the address specified in the imprint. Revocations do not affect data processing that has already taken place.
Under certain circumstances, we may need to use third-party services or services provided by affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called processors). The categories of recipients include in particular:
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 required to disclose your personal data to authorities.
We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This is visible to you (typically through corresponding symbols). Clicking on the symbols will redirect you to our social media channels.
In this case, the social media providers will be informed that you are accessing their platform from our website. The social media providers may use the data collected in this way for their own purposes. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the operators.
As part of order processing, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad. These companies are subject to the same data protection requirements as we are. The transfer can take place worldwide.
If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we carry out a prior risk assessment and contractually ensure that the same protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (e.g., by means of the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission at the following link: https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de
We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the individual purposes for which the data was collected.
Data that we store when you visit our website is kept for twelve months. An exception applies to analysis and tracking data, which may be kept for longer.
We store contract data for a longer period of time because we are legally obligated to do so. We are particularly required to keep business communications, concluded contracts, and booking documents for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data from you to provide our services, the data will be blocked, and we will only use it for invoicing and tax purposes.
We will store your data securely 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 obliged to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it will be necessary for us to forward your requests 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 encryption level supported by your browser.
You can request information at any time about the data we store about you. We ask you to send your request for information together with proof of identity to info@valemis.ch.
You also have the right to receive your data in a common file format if we process your data automatically and if:
We may restrict or refuse to provide information or data release if this conflicts with our legal obligations, legitimate interests, or the interests of a third party.
The processing of your request is subject to the legal processing period of 30 days. However, we may extend this period due to a high volume of requests, legal or technical reasons, or if we need more detailed information from you. You will be notified of the extension in good time, at least in writing.
You have the option at any time to request the deletion or correction of your data. We may reject the request if legal regulations require us to retain or not modify the data, or if a legal basis contradicts your request.
Please note that exercising your rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have corresponding effects on contract performance (e.g., premature termination of the contract or cost consequences).
If you are affected by the processing of 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
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. The changes will be published, and you will not be separately informed about them.

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 using our website based on WordPress, various data, including your IP address, date and time of access, and information about the browser you are using, can 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 used.
To protect against unwanted requests via the internet form on our website, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, mechanical processing. As part of the query, information such as your IP address or behavior when filling out the form may be transmitted to Google.
For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and processed there. By using reCAPTCHA, you agree that the recognition you provide will be incorporated into the digitization of old works. In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
