Privacy Policy

Latest Update: August 2025

I. General / Introduction
Please read this privacy policy carefully. This declaration serves to inform you about the collection and use of personal data – information relating to an identified or identifiable person – when visiting our website.

This privacy policy applies exclusively to the website www.beyourbest4success.com (alternatively www.beyourbestforsuccess.com and www.andreahalmy.com).  We assume no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links on this website. Clicking on such links is done at your own risk.

1. Legal Basis
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the data protection provisions of the Swiss Confederation (Data Protection Act, DSG), every person has the right to protection of their privacy and protection against the misuse of their personal data. The processing of personal data, such as name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number, is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the applicable country-specific data protection regulations relevant to BeYourBest4Success GmbH (hereinafter “BeYourBest4Success GmbH”).

2. Definitions
Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the most important terminology used.

Personal data
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed.

Cookies
Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. Cookies make it possible to store specific information related to the user on the user’s terminal device while the user is using the website.

Processing
Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

3. Data Collection and Usage
SSL/TLS encryption
This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Use of website
By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of data in accordance with this privacy policy. This general data and information are stored in the server log files.
When using these general data and information, the BeYourBest4Success GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

This website can generally be visited without registration and without providing personal information. However, if a user wishes to access specific services offered by BeYourBest4Success GmbH through the website, the processing of personal data may become necessary.

  • Data such as pages accessed, file names, date, and time may be stored for statistical purposes. This information is not directly linked to your person.
  • Personal data – such as name, address, or e-mail address – is collected on a voluntary basis where possible.
  • Without your explicit consent, personal data will not be shared with third parties.

Contact possibility via the website – Processing of personal data
If a data subject contacts us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties. When contacting us through our online form or directly by e-mail, we do not gather or process any other data than the information supplied by you specifically during an inquiry or booking.

Blog Comments
We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on blog posts published on our website. In general, blog posts may be commented on by third parties. If a data subject leaves a comment on a blog post, the comment, the chosen user name or pseudonym, and the date and time of submission are stored and published on the website.
In addition, the IP address of the user is stored when a comment is submitted. This is done for security reasons and in case the user infringes the rights of third parties or posts illegal content. The storage of the IP address is therefore in the legitimate interest of the data controller to ensure legal accountability and to be able to defend against potential legal claims.
This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or necessary for the legal defense of the data controller.

4. Data Security
At BeYourBest4Success GmbH, we respect your privacy and take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your data confidentially and in compliance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy. In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect our databases as effectively as possible against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or tampering.
Please note: Internet-based data transmission (e.g., communication by e-mail) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

E-Mail: a.halmy@beyourbest4success.com

Due to the data we process, BeYourBest4Success GmbH is not obliged to appoint a data protection officer.

6. Information on data processing

Processing of personal data
When contacting us through our online form or directly by e-mail, we do not gather or process other than the following data:

  • All information supplied by you specifically during an inquiry or booking
  • IP-address;
  • browser version and browser type used;
  • date & time of the inquiry or message;
  • operating system and provider

We process personal data in accordance with Swiss data protection law. Furthermore, to the extent and insofar as the EU GDPR is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases in connection with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing of personal data for the fulfillment of a contract with the data subject as well as for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which we are subject under any applicable law of the EU or under any applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.
lit. d) Processing of personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to protect the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights and interests of the data subject are overridden. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with Swiss law.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose or purposes. In the case of longer-term retention obligations due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.

We do not engage in profiling on our website or otherwise in the sense of automated processing of personal data that consists of using such data to evaluate certain aspects of your personal life (e.g. to analyse or predict your job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or change of location).
Provision of personal data – Requirement necessary to enter into a contract
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law or can result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when they sign a contract with our company. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Sensitive personal data
BeYourBest4Success GmbH does not collect or process any sensitive data via our website.
When acting in a coach-coachee relationship, it is, however, likely that we will receive sensitive personal data from you. We attach great importance to protecting all sensitive data that you provide to us as an existing or potential client. In addition to general data protection principles, all information shared during coaching sessions is treated as strictly confidential.
Exceptions to confidentiality include:

  • Risk of self-harm by the client
  • Risk of harm to others or a third party
  • Disclosure of illegal activity
  • Situations where disclosure is required by law

In all coaching relationships, we maintain independence and avoid any conflict of interest with our clients.

Disclosure to Third Parties
We may disclose your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, based on your express consent, to comply with legal obligations, or, where applicable, based on our legitimate interests in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection. Your data may be shared with carefully selected service providers who support us in the operation of our website and the provision of our services (e.g., IT service providers, hosting companies, customer support tools, payment processors). These service providers are contractually obligated to use your data only for the purposes specified by us and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations. These service providers are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes or to disclose it to others.

If we use service providers in countries outside Switzerland or the EEA, we ensure that either the country has been recognized by the Federal Council as having an adequate level of data protection, or we can contractually ensure the equivalence of the level of protection (such as standard contractual clauses adapted for Switzerland) are in place to protect your data.

You may request further information regarding our service providers and international data transfers at any time.

Transmission of personal data
Unless expressly agreed otherwise, electronic communication shall take place via non-encrypted E-mails. The use of E-mails is not technically secure; it may happen that e-mails are not delivered. When E-Mails are transmitted, they may leave national borders, even if the sender and recipient are in Switzerland. The confidentiality of E-mails cannot be guaranteed if encryption is missing or insufficient.

Even when using forms available on our website, only the transmission of your message from your computer to the web server is encrypted. By using the forms or sending an E-mail, you consent to communication via E-mail with knowledge of the risks described. The use of encrypted or otherwise secured communication channels must be agreed with us in advance.

Cookies make it possible to store specific information related to the user on the user’s terminal device while the user is using the website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system.

Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not wish this to happen, you should set your Internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.

Persistent (Resident) Cookies
Resident cookies are used to store your login information and remember your settings for future logins to our services. A resident cookie is a cookie that is stored as a file on your computer and remains there when you close your web browser. The cookie can be read by the services that created it when you visit those services again.

Session ID cookies are used to enable certain features on our Services, to better understand how you interact with our Services, and to monitor aggregate user data and web traffic routing. Unlike resident cookies, session cookies are removed from your computer when you close your browser. Typically, session ID cookies store an anonymous session identifier on your computer that allows you to use a service without having to log in each time you click.

2.2. By Origin
2.2.1. First-Party Cookies
The following cookies are set directly by us. They help improve your user experience and are linked to a user`s personal information. Third parties do not have access to data collected via our first-party cookies.

Device Identifier Cookie
Recognizes returning users and helps maintain their logged-in status.

Privacy Visibility Cookie
Stores whether you have seen and responded to the cookie consent banner. This prevents the banner from being shown repeatedly.

2.2.2. Third-Party Cookies
The following cookies are set by external service providers (e.g., for analytics, advertising, or social media integrations). These providers may place cookies on your device on our behalf when you visit our Services, allowing them to deliver their services effectively.

Google reCAPTCHA
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human being or by an automated program. This is how we curb abusive website requests from automated tools and spam, among other things. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not made aware that an analysis is taking place. By blocking the reCAPTCHA, it is possible that you can no longer fully use the services of our website, especially with regard to forms.

For more details, please consult the privacy policies of these third-party providers.

2.3. By Function

Functional Cookies
These cookies enable additional features that enhance your experience but are not essential. You may disable them in your browser settings, but this could affect certain functionalities.

3. Google WebFonts
This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google LLC for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts from Google´s servers into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. In doing so, your browser may transmit personal data such as your IP address, browser version, and operating system to Google. This constitutes a transfer of personal data to a third country (USA), which may not provide an equivalent level of data protection under Swiss law. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

You can find more information on Google Web Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

IV. Analysis Tools
1. Application and use of Google Analytics
Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service used to analyse the usage behavior of our website. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of a website by the data subject. With each visit to an Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, prevent the setting of cookies at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such.

For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

2. Browser plug-in
You can prevent the recording and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

When a data subject requests deletion of their personal data, companies are expected to act promptly and generally complete the erasure within 30 days of receiving the request. If the company cannot meet this deadline, the period may be extended by an additional 30 days under reasonable circumstances.

Please note: We are required by law, commercial law and tax law to retain accounting records for at least 10 financial years. We can therefore neither delete nor process the personal data contained in these documents.

If services are still outstanding at the time of receipt of your revocation and deletion request, your personal data will continue to be processed until the complete termination of the business relationship.

Your revocation under data protection law expressly has no influence on the processing of existing contractual relationships and is not considered as an extraordinary reason for termination.

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
  • The data subject has objected to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation, and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate interests of the controller override those of the data subject

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, you can request the restriction of personal data stored by the operator of this website at any time by contacting us and we will arrange the restriction of the processing.

6. Right to data portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, common and machine-readable format. They also have the right to have this data transferred to another controller if the legal requirements are met. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and insofar as this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. To assert the right to data portability, you may at any time contact us.

7. Right to object
Data subjects can object to processing based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority. The operator of this website shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject.
To exercise the right to object, you may directly contact us.

8. Right to withdraw consent
You can revoke your consent to this privacy policy at any time and request the deletion of your personal data. Please contact us for this purpose.

9. Right to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority
Every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority at the registered office of the controller if they believe that we have violated a provision of the FADP.

The Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (www.edoeb.admin.ch) serves as the national supervisory authority for data protection and privacy and is responsible for complaints from data subjects.

VIII. Revision of our privacy policy
The current version published on our website applies. We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy without prior notice so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services.
