Privacy policy
GEMINI values your privacy and considers data protection to be of great importance. Therefore, GEMINI processes personal data only in accordance with the applicable data protection law, in particular the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection of 19 June 1992 (FADP; Bundesgesetz über den Datenschutz vom 19. Juni 1992 – DSG) and, where relevant, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the EU, which entered into effect on 25 May 2018.
Scope and purpose of data collection
This website can generally be used without providing personal data. But we do process personal data that you provide to us voluntarily, for example, when you fill out the contact form or send us an e-mail. We use the data we receive from you solely for administrative and communication purposes. Under no circumstances will the data collected be disclosed, sold or otherwise passed on to third parties. Nevertheless, some of our service providers may have access to certain personal data, in particular, for the maintenance and servicing of our IT systems. We keep personal data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.

The website www.gemini.ch is operated with a valid SSL certificate. SSL certificates ensure the secrecy of online traffic despite the public nature of the Internet, and connections to the www.gemini.ch website are encrypted via HTTPS. GEMINI has also taken appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data from loss and unauthorised access. The measures taken are regularly reviewed for their effectiveness and modified if necessary.
