2. Applicable Law
Personal data is processed in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP / nDSG). Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies — for example, to participants located in the EU/EEA — its requirements are observed as well.
3. Data We Collect
Request form: When you submit a request for consideration, we collect your name, email address, job title, company, and the information you provide in your message. Providing this data is voluntary. Submissions are stored in the website database and transmitted to us by email.
Email contact: If you contact us directly by email, we process the data contained in your message.
Server log files: When you visit this website, our hosting provider automatically records technical data, including your IP address, the date and time of access, and browser information. This data is required for the secure and stable operation of the website and is not combined with other data.
4. Purposes and Legal Basis
We process personal data to review and respond to participation requests, to organise and communicate about forum sessions, and to operate this website securely. Where the GDPR applies, processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (steps taken at your request prior to participation), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure operation of the website and professional communication), and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent, where specifically requested).
5. Cookies
This website uses only technically necessary cookies. We do not use analytics, advertising, or other tracking technologies.
6. Google Fonts
This website loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com). When you visit the site, your IP address is transmitted to Google in order to deliver the fonts. Provider: Google LLC, USA. Google is certified under the Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which the Federal Council recognises as ensuring an adequate level of data protection.

7. Disclosure of Data
We do not share personal data with third parties, except with IT service providers that process data on our behalf under contract (in particular website hosting), or where disclosure is required by law.
8. Data Retention
Personal data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Data from participation requests is deleted once it is no longer required for evaluating or managing participation, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
9. Your Rights
You have the right to request information about the personal data we process about you, to have inaccurate data corrected, to request deletion, to receive certain data in a portable format, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise these rights, contact info@limmat-technology-forum.com. You may also lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, where the GDPR applies, with a competent supervisory authority in the EU/EEA.
