Privacy policy
How Block Consult handles personal data when you visit the website, contact us or subscribe to updates.
Who is responsible
Block Consult GmbH, c/o AbaFin Treuhand AG, Baarerstrasse 82, 6302 Zug, Switzerland, is responsible for personal data processed through this website.
For privacy questions or requests, contact us at info@blockconsult.org.
Data we collect
Contact enquiries: your name, email address, company details if provided, and the message you send us. The contact form opens your mail client; nothing is sent automatically by the website.
Newsletter enquiries: the email address you provide when asking to subscribe. The current form also opens your mail client rather than adding you automatically to a mailing list.
Technical data: IP address, browser and device information, requested URLs, timestamps, referrer data and similar server logs needed to deliver, secure and troubleshoot the website.
We do not intentionally collect special categories of personal data through this website.
How we use it
To respond to enquiries, evaluate potential engagements and provide requested information.
To send updates only if you have requested them or otherwise consented.
To operate, secure, debug and improve the website, including preventing abuse and maintaining availability.
To comply with legal, accounting, compliance and record-keeping obligations where applicable.
Legal basis and interests
Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the basis of consent, steps prior to entering into a contract, performance of a contract, legal obligations and legitimate interests.
Our legitimate interests include answering business enquiries, operating a secure website, understanding whether the website functions correctly and protecting our rights.
Processors and international transfers
We do not sell personal data. We share data only with service providers that help us host, secure and operate the website, manage email and administer business communications.
These providers may process data in Switzerland, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States or other locations. Where required, we rely on adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other appropriate safeguards.
Retention
We keep enquiry and business correspondence for as long as needed to respond, manage the relationship and meet legal or accounting requirements.
Technical logs are kept for a limited period needed for security, diagnostics and service operation unless a longer period is required to investigate abuse or protect rights.
Cookies
This website does not use advertising cookies or third-party behavioural tracking. It may use strictly necessary cookies and similar technical storage required for routing, security or basic functionality.
Your rights
Depending on the applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or information about your personal data, and you may object to certain processing.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. You may also lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, where GDPR applies, with a competent EU/EEA supervisory authority.
To exercise rights, email info@blockconsult.org. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Automated decisions
We do not use this website for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Updates
We may update this privacy policy when the website, our services or legal requirements change. The date above shows the latest version.
