It is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (DSG, revised as of September 1, 2023). Please note that if you access third-party links or offers via our website, you must comply with the privacy policies of those third parties. We are not responsible for the information or data protection practices of third-party websites or services.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Information<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you would like more information about data protection, please contact us:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smolball AG<br\/>Via Mutta 9<br\/>7031 Laax<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email: <a href=\"mailto:info@smolball.com\">info@smolball.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When users contact us (for example, via the contact form or email), their information is stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case follow-up questions arise.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Privacy Policy<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pursuant to Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the Data Protection Act (DSG), every person has the right to privacy and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions. Personal data is treated as strictly confidential and is neither sold nor disclosed to third parties.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This website is hosted by Infomaniak Network SA, Rue Eug\u00e8ne-Marziano 25, 1227 Geneva, Switzerland. All data processed in connection with the hosting service (see \u201cAccess Data\u201d below) therefore remains on Swiss servers; no data is transferred to third countries. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not guarantee the absolute security of your personal data. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude any liability and any claims for damages in connection with third-party or unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification. We recommend that you take all security measures available to you to protect your personal data.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Handling of Personal Data<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, among other things, name, email address, or phone number. When you access our website, we may also collect certain data that does not directly identify you by name but allows us to identify the specific computer or device (IP address).  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We process personal data (specifically, store, retain, use, archive, etc.) only if it is permitted by law or if you have consented to such processing.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access Data<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you access our website, the following data is stored in log files: IP address, date, time, browser request, and general information transmitted regarding the operating system or browser. This usage data forms the basis for statistical, anonymous analyses that enable us to improve our services. We reserve the right to review the log data retrospectively if there is reasonable suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cookies and Cookie Settings<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This website uses a cookie consent system integrated into the theme. Non-essential cookies are technically blocked until you have made your selection; consent management is handled entirely locally, without any external connections to third-party providers. You can change your selections at any time by clicking the \u201cCookie Settings\u201d link in the footer. The following categories are available:   <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Essential (always active):<\/strong> Required for the website to function, such as session and shopping cart cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Functional (optional):<\/strong> advanced features and personalization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Analysis (optional):<\/strong> Matomo statistics (see below).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marketing (optional):<\/strong> Not currently in use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The website also respects your browser&#8217;s &#8220;Do Not Track&#8221; signal.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Web Analytics with Matomo<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use Matomo, an on-premises web analytics software, to statistically analyze website usage (e.g., page views, referral sources, time spent on the site). Unlike third-party analytics services, Matomo runs on our own infrastructure, which is hosted in Switzerland. No usage data is transmitted to third-party servers or abroad; we no longer use Google Analytics or similar third-party services.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matomo collects data only after you have consented to the \u201cAnalytics\u201d category in the cookie banner. The legal basis for this is your consent (Art. 31(1) DSG). <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fonts<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fonts used on this website are served locally from our own server; no connection is made to Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts, or any other external font service. Therefore, no data is transmitted to third parties when the fonts are loaded. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newsletter<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the information you provide (email address, optional name) solely for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The newsletter is sent via the newsletter service provided by Infomaniak Network SA, Geneva, Switzerland\u2014also without any data being transferred abroad. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Registration is done using the double-opt-in process: After registering, you will receive a confirmation email and must actively confirm your registration. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 31(1) DSG). Each newsletter email contains an unsubscribe link that you can use to revoke your consent at any time, effective for the future. Your data will be stored until you unsubscribe.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Revocations, Changes, Corrections, and Updates<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have the right to request, free of charge, information about your personal data stored by us. In addition, you have the right to have inaccurate data corrected and to have your personal data deleted, provided that no statutory retention requirement precludes this. If you have any questions or wish to exercise these rights, please contact us at the address listed above.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage \/ Retention Period for Your Personal Data<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The retention period for your personal data depends on the purpose for which the data was collected and for which we process it. We will retain your data for a longer period if we are legally required to do so (e.g., retention requirements for access data under the Federal Act on the Surveillance of Postal and Telecommunications Traffic, B\u00dcPF). <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>As of June 2026<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scope of Application This Privacy Policy informs users about the nature, scope, and purposes of the processing of personal data on this website.
