This website is hosted through Squarespace. Squarespace may process technical information, website-usage data, cookies and information submitted through website forms to provide its hosting, security, analytics and form-management services.

Squarespace may process information in Switzerland, the European Economic Area, the United States or other countries in which it or its service providers operate.

The website may contain videos or other content embedded from third-party platforms, such as YouTube or other media-hosting providers.

When you play or interact with embedded content, the relevant provider may receive technical information such as your IP address, device information and details of your interaction. The provider may also use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Where required, embedded content and associated non-essential cookies will remain disabled until you provide consent through the cookie settings.

10. Spam prevention and reCAPTCHA

The contact form uses a spam-prevention service, which may include Google reCAPTCHA. This service helps determine whether a form submission is being made by a person rather than an automated system.

In providing this protection, the service provider may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device information and details of your interaction with the website.

Where Google reCAPTCHA is used, its processing is subject to the Google Privacy Policy⁠ and applicable terms.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, reasonable steps are taken to rely on recognised safeguards where required. These may include:

  • Transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection
