Personal Data
The term “personal data” within the meaning of this privacy policy includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable person and which allows conclusions to be drawn about that person’s identity directly or indirectly. In principle, we will use your personal data only as described in this privacy policy. We reserve the right, however, to use this data for additional purposes where permitted or required by law or to support legal or criminal investigations.
Scope of Processing and Purposes
We generally collect and use users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of users’ personal data generally takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and processing is permitted by law.
Accessing our Website
When you visit our website, our servers temporarily log each access in a log file. The following technical data are collected and stored automatically, as is generally the case with any connection to a web server:
- IP address of the requesting device,
- name of the owner of the IP address range (usually your Internet access provider),
- date and time of access,
- website from which access originated (referrer URL), possibly including the search term used,
- name and URL of the file retrieved,
- status code (e.g., error message),
- operating system of your device,
- browser used (type, version, language),
- transfer protocol used (e.g., HTTP/1.1), and
- your username from a registration/authentication.
We process this data to enable the use of our website (connection establishment), ensure system security and stability, optimize our offering, and for internal statistical purposes. This data does not allow direct conclusions about your person and is used only for statistical evaluation and optimization of the website.
The IP address may also be evaluated together with other data in the event of attacks on network infrastructure or other unauthorized or abusive use, and, if necessary, used within criminal proceedings to identify and pursue the users concerned.

We also collect your personal data when you contact us (e.g., via contact form or e-mail). The following information is required:

We use this data, as well as a phone number you provide voluntarily, only to answer your inquiry as best as possible and in a personalized manner.
No Disclosure of Personal Data
We do not sell, disclose, or otherwise distribute your personal data to third parties except as described in this privacy policy. We may share personal data with third parties acting for us or on our behalf, so they can process the data for the purposes for which it was originally collected or other legally permissible purposes, e.g., to provide services, evaluate the usefulness of the website, or provide marketing, data management, or technical support. Such third parties are contractually bound to use personal data only for the agreed purposes and not to disclose it to further third parties unless required by law, authorized by us, or described in this privacy policy.
Your personal data may also be transferred if the business of this website, in whole or in part, including related customer data, is sold, assigned, or transferred. In that case, we would require the recipient to process personal data in accordance with this privacy policy. Personal data may also be disclosed where we are required by law, court order, or official regulation, or where necessary to support criminal or legal investigations or proceedings in Switzerland or abroad.
Right of Access, Rectification and Objection
When we process your personal data, we take reasonable steps to ensure the data is accurate and up to date for the purposes for which it was collected. You may object to processing of your personal data where there is no legitimate business purpose for such processing under this privacy policy or applicable law. To contact us or object, please e-mail info@ewasolutions.ch.

Google Maps
We use Google Maps from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps and visualizing geographic information. Using this service may, for example, show you our location and make directions easier.
When you access pages that embed Google Maps, information about your use of our website (e.g., your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there—regardless of whether you have a Google account or are logged in. If you are logged in, the data is assigned to your account. If you do not want this assignment, log out of your Google account. Google stores usage profiles (also for users who are not logged in) and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right you must contact Google.
If you do not agree to future transmission of your data to Google within the scope of Google Maps, you can also completely deactivate Google Maps by turning off JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and the map display on this website will then not be available.
