Privacy Policy
The Swiss Sustainable Coffee Platform takes data protection seriously and would like to use this data protection declaration to explain to you which data is absolutely necessary, how we use it and how you can correct or change your details.

The newsletter of the Swiss Sustainable Coffee Platform can be subscribed to via a form on our website using a double opt-in procedure. We always explicitly request written or verbal consent as to whether employees of members of the Coffee Platform or other interested parties wish to be included on the distribution list. In exceptional cases, we reserve the right to assume tacit consent. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time (scroll to the bottom of the newsletter and click on the unsubscribe link).
We are convinced that protecting your privacy is of the utmost importance. That is why complying with the strict legal provisions for data protection is a matter of course for us. We firmly believe that data protection begins with transparency. Therefore, it is our concern that you always know when we store which of your personal data, how we use it, but also how you can restrict or prevent its use.
What is personal data?
Personal data is any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable person. This includes information and data such as your (real) name, your address or other postal address and your telephone number. It also includes your e-mail address if it is linked to your name in such a way that you can be identified. This does not include information that cannot be used to determine your identity. Such information includes, for example, all information that is not associated with your name, e.g. information about gender or age or education.
Use and disclosure of personal data
The Swiss Sustainable Coffee Platform is committed to protecting your privacy. We use your personal information only within the company and only pass it on to companies that are involved in fulfilling the contracts we have concluded with you or otherwise providing the service. Otherwise, your personal information will not be passed on to third parties unless you have given your express consent to do so or we are obliged to disclose it, e.g. due to a court or official order.
Contact
When you contact us (e.g. using the contact form or by email), the information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of processing the request and in the event that follow-up questions arise.
Use of cookies
The Swiss Sustainable Coffee Platform uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that the web server stores in several places in your computer's browser and that can be used to identify you when you next visit the website. The cookies we use do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. When you use our website, we primarily store so-called ‘session cookies’ on your computer's hard drive, which are only relevant for your visit to our website. These cookies are used exclusively for connection control and navigation and enable you to surf our website in a user-friendly manner. They ‘remember’, for example, certain settings during the session and save you from having to re-enter them. ‘Session cookies’ are deleted when you end your browser session. We also use long-lasting (persistent) cookies that enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. Your browser offers you the option of a warning message when a web server wants to set a cookie on your computer. You can accept or reject cookies. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you when cookies are sent. When you leave www.coffeeplatform.ch, you can delete cookies from your computer's hard drive, e.g. if an interruption in the internet connection has prevented automatic removal.
Of course, you can also view our websites without cookies. If you do not want us to recognise your computer, you can prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive by selecting ‘do not accept cookies’ in your browser settings. Please refer to the instructions of your browser manufacturer for details of how this works. However, if you do not accept cookies, this may result in functional restrictions to our offers.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’, text files that are saved on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website.
According to the data protection guideline and information from Google, these are text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. For example, information about the operating system, the browser, your IP address, the website you visited before (referrer URL) and the date and time of your visit to our website are collected. The information generated by this text file about the use of our website is then transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. Google will also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. This use is anonymised or pseudonymised. Google uses the DoubleClick DART cookie. Users can disable the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.
