Introduction

Welcome to the website of Isabelle Heymanns ("I", "me", or "my"). I am committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit my website at isabelle-heymanns.com.

This policy is governed by the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP/nDSG) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This website is operated from Switzerland. By using this website, you acknowledge that your data will be processed in accordance with Swiss data protection law (nDSG), which provides a level of protection recognised as adequate by the European Union.

The data controller responsible for this website is:

Website Hosting

This website is hosted by Kreativmedia AG, Switzerland. When you visit this website, your browser automatically transmits technical data to the hosting server. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and the date and time of your visit. This data is collected to ensure the technical operation and security of the website. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website (Art. 31 nDSG). Because the server is located in Switzerland, your data remains in a jurisdiction with an adequate level of data protection.

 

Personal Data I Collect

Contact Form

When you use the contact form on this website (powered by Contact Form 7), I collect the information you provide — typically your name and email address — along with the content of your message. I use this information solely to respond to your inquiry. The data is not shared with third parties.

Newsletter Subscription

If you subscribe to my newsletter, I collect your email address and, if provided, your first name. This data is processed by MailerLite (UAB "MailerLite", Gedimino ave. 60, Vilnius 01110, Lithuania). MailerLite may transfer data to servers outside Switzerland and the EU. MailerLite is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For more information, see MailerLite’s privacy policy at mailerlite.com/legal/privacy-policy.

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link in any email I send you. The legal basis for processing is your consent.

 

Cookies

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Some are essential for the site to function; others are used for analytics or personalisation.

 Cookies used on this website

This website uses only functional cookies — cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to operate. No tracking or advertising cookies are used.

 WordPress / Divi Theme

WordPress and the Divi theme set session cookies to manage your visit and remember display preferences. These cookies do not track you across other websites and are deleted when you close your browser.

 Yoast SEO

Yoast SEO may set a short-lived cookie to manage site statistics counting. This cookie contains no personally identifiable information.

 Bloom (newsletter opt-in)

The Bloom plugin may set a cookie to remember whether you have already seen or dismissed a newsletter sign-up form. No personal data is stored in this cookie.

 Because this website uses only functional cookies, no cookie consent banner is required under Swiss law (nDSG).

 

Google Fonts

This website uses Google Fonts to display text consistently across devices. Currently, these fonts are loaded from Google’s servers, which means your IP address is transmitted to Google LLC (USA) when you visit this website. I intend to migrate to locally hosted fonts in the near future, which will eliminate this data transfer entirely.

For more information, see Google’s privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

 

Your Rights

Under the nDSG (and GDPR, where applicable), you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access: You may request information about the personal data I hold about you.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal obligations.
• Right to restriction: You may request that I limit the processing of your data.
• Right to data portability: You may request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

 

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at info@isabelle-heymanns.com.

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC): edoeb.admin.ch.

 

Data Retention

I retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Contact form submissions are deleted once the inquiry has been resolved. Newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe.

 

Data Security

I take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. This website is served over an encrypted HTTPS connection.

 

Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to external websites. I am not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies.

 

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be published on this page. I encourage you to review it periodically.
