This website is operated by Jacob+Viktor, a brand of Jacob+Viktor, established at Crissier, Switzerland.

SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

This Privacy Policy applies when you visit jacobviktor.com, submit our contact form, contact us by email or telephone, or otherwise interact with us in a professional context. We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and, where applicable, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation, the UK GDPR and other applicable data-protection laws. This website is intended for businesses and professional audiences. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• processing personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently;
• collecting only the information reasonably necessary for a stated purpose;
• protecting personal data with appropriate organisational and technical measures
• retaining personal data only for as long as necessary.

We collect personal data in two main ways: information you provide directly to us and limited technical information processed through the operation of our website.

If you only browse our website, you are not asked to identify yourself. However, Webflow and our technical infrastructure providers may process limited technical data required to deliver, secure and maintain the website.

We collect identifying and professional information when you submit our contact form, contact us by email or telephone, take part in a meeting, or enter into a professional relationship with Jacob+Viktor.

Here is when and how personal data may be collected:

Your name, work email address, telephone number and any other contact information you choose to provide.

TECHNICAL AND SECURITY DATA

Your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, requested pages, referring page, date and time of access, and technical or security logs generated when the website is delivered.

SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA

We do not intentionally request sensitive personal data, such as information concerning health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade-union membership, genetic or biometric data, sexual life or orientation, or criminal convictions. Please do not provide this type of information through our contact form. If you voluntarily provide sensitive personal data, we will process it only where necessary and where permitted by applicable law.

CHILDREN’S DATA

Our website and services are intended for professionals and organisations and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If we become aware that a child has provided personal data to us, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

We process personal data only for specific and legitimate purposes. Where the GDPR applies, we also rely on an appropriate legal basis. We use personal data for the following purposes:

RESPONDING TO ENQUIRIES

To respond to requests submitted through our contact form, email, telephone or meetings, understand your requirements, arrange discussions and prepare proposals.

WEBSITE ANALYTICS

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to measure website audiences, understand how visitors find and use our pages, evaluate website performance and improve the visitor experience.

DELIVERING SERVICES AND MANAGING PROJECTS

To plan, manage and deliver our services, communicate with clients and collaborators, coordinate projects and maintain relevant project records.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AND BILLING

To manage proposals, contracts, suppliers, invoices, payment records, accounting and other administrative activities.

MANAGING PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

To manage our relationships with current, former and prospective clients, collaborators, suppliers and professional partners, and to follow up on relevant business conversations.

OPERATING AND PROTECTING OUR WEBSITE

To deliver and maintain our website, diagnose technical issues, protect its security, prevent misuse and maintain appropriate technical records.

LEGAL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

To comply with applicable legal, accounting, tax and regulatory requirements, respond to lawful requests and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

WHAT THESE LEGAL BASES MEAN

CONTRACT AND PRE-CONTRACTUAL STEPS

Processing is necessary to respond to a request you have made, prepare a proposal, enter into an agreement with you or perform our contractual obligations.

LEGITIMATE INTERESTS

Processing is necessary for Jacob+Viktor’s legitimate business interests, provided that those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

These interests include responding to professional enquiries, delivering and improving our services, managing business relationships, protecting our website and preventing misuse.

LEGAL OBLIGATION

Processing is necessary for us to comply with applicable legal, accounting, tax, regulatory or administrative requirements.

YOUR CHOICES

YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA

You may browse our website without directly providing identifying information. However, if you choose not to provide information requested through our contact form or during a professional exchange, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry, prepare a proposal or provide our services.

YOU CAN MANAGE COOKIES THROUGH YOUR BROWSER

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation or functionality of the website. Further information is provided in the “Cookies and technology” section of this Privacy Policy.

YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on your location and the applicable data protection law, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data.

RIGHT OF ACCESS

You may ask whether we process personal data about you and request a copy of that data, together with information about:

• the categories of personal data processed;
• the purposes of the processing;
• the recipients or categories of recipients;
• the applicable retention period;
• the source of the data, where it was not collected directly from you; and
• the rights available to you.

RIGHT TO CORRECTION

You may ask us to correct personal data that is inaccurate, incomplete or no longer current.

RIGHT TO DELETION

You may ask us to delete personal data that is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected. This right is not absolute. We may retain certain information where required by law, necessary for contractual or accounting purposes, or needed to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

RIGHT TO RESTRICT OR OBJECT TO PROCESSING

Where applicable, you may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data or object to processing based on our legitimate interests. We will consider your request and stop or restrict the processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds or the processing is required for legal claims.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

Where applicable, you may request personal data that you provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. This right generally applies where processing is automated and based on your consent or a contract.

Jacob+Viktor does not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the contact details provided in the “Who we are and our role” section of this Privacy Policy.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and protect your personal data. We will respond within the period required by applicable law, normally within one month.

We encourage you to contact us first so that we can review and address your concerns. You may also report a data-protection concern to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). If the GDPR applies to your situation, you may also contact the competent supervisory authority in your country of residence or work. https://www.edoeb.admin.ch

Our website uses essential website technologies and, with your consent, analytics cookies. Analytics cookies are disabled by default and are activated only after you accept them through our cookie-consent banner.

ESSENTIAL WEBSITE TECHNOLOGY

This website is built and hosted using Webflow. When you visit the website or submit a contact form, Webflow and its infrastructure providers process limited technical information required to deliver the website, maintain its security and provide its essential functionality. This information may include your IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, and the date and time of your request.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4, a website analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors find and use our website.

Google Analytics may process information including:

• pages viewed and interactions with the website;
• session duration and approximate time of visits;
• referring websites or marketing sources;
• browser, device and operating-system information;
• approximate geographic information; and
• online identifiers generated by analytics cookies.

Google Analytics uses first-party cookies, including “_ga” to distinguish visitors and “ga<container-id>” to maintain session information. These cookies may remain on your device for up to two years unless they are deleted earlier or a shorter duration is configured.

We use Google Analytics for audience measurement and website improvement. We do not use it for personalised advertising, remarketing or automated decision-making.

WEB FONTS

Our website uses Google Fonts to display the Montserrat and IBM Plex Serif typefaces. When these fonts are loaded, your browser connects to Google’s servers. Google may therefore receive technical connection information, including your IP address and browser information. Jacob+Viktor does not use Google Fonts for advertising or behavioural profiling.

BROWSER CONTROLS

You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Blocking essential website technologies may affect certain functions, while refusing analytics cookies will not prevent you from browsing our public pages.

FUTURE CHANGES

If we introduce additional analytics, advertising or other non-essential technologies, we will update this Privacy Policy and obtain consent where required before activating them.

We do not sell or rent personal data.
We share limited personal data with trusted recipients only where necessary:

• Webflow, Inc., for website hosting, security and contact-form processing;
• Google LLC, for Google Analytics 4—with your consent—and Google Fonts;
• email, document-storage and administrative providers, for correspondence and business operations;
• professional advisers and project collaborators, where required to prepare or deliver our services.

These recipients receive only the information necessary for their specific purpose and must apply appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards.

Webflow, Inc. → Webflow Privacy Policy

Google LLC → Google Privacy Policy

Some of our service providers, including Webflow and Google, process personal data in the United States or other countries outside Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area.

Where required, these transfers are protected through recognised adequacy frameworks, the EU–U.S. and Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks, standard contractual clauses or other safeguards permitted by applicable law.

We require our service providers to apply appropriate security and confidentiality protections to transferred personal data.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

• Enquiries that do not lead to a project are normally retained for up to 24 months after our last interaction.
• Client, project, contractual and accounting records may be retained for up to 10 years where required by Swiss law.
• Google Analytics user-level and event-level data is retained for up to 14 months.

We may retain information for longer where required by law or necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised.

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

These measures include secure website hosting, HTTPS encryption, restricted access, account-security controls, data minimisation and the use of trusted service providers.
No online system can guarantee absolute security. If a personal-data breach occurs, we will investigate it and notify the relevant authorities or affected individuals where required by applicable law.

Our website may contain links to websites, platforms or services operated by third parties.

When you follow an external link, the third party may collect and process personal data under its own privacy policy. Jacob+Viktor does not control these external services or their privacy practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our services, technologies or legal obligations.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Where appropriate, we will provide additional notice of significant changes.
