Welcome to the boring bit, but it is important in relation to how I keep your information safe on the BM Blue Mountain website.
This Privacy Policy applies to the BM Blue Mountain website at https://bm-bluemountain.com and https://brigittemuench.com (the “Website”). BM Blue Mountain takes your privacy seriously.
This Privacy Policy covers the collection, processing and other use of personal data under the Swiss Data Protection Act 2023 (“DPA”) and the EU General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”).
For the purpose of the DPA and GDPR BM Blue Mountain is the data controller and any enquiry regarding the collection or processing of your data should be addressed to BM Blue Mountain GmbH, Attenhoferstrasse 45, 8032 Zurich, Switzerland.
By using the Website, you consent to this use of data.
What kind of information do we process?
We will collect personal data on our Website only if it is directly provided to us by you as the user or our customer, e.g. your e-mail address, name, home or work address and telephone number, and therefore has been provided by you with your consent.
Normally you will only provide such details if you wish to sign up for our free e-newsletter or other resources, register for a webinar, or buy a product or service.
We also use analytical and statistical tools that monitor details of your visits to the Website and the resources that you access, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data. All of this data is de-personalised, which means that it does NOT identify you personally.
What will we do with your information?
We may hold and process personal data that you provide to us in accordance with the DPA and GDPR.
The information that we collect and store relating to you is primarily used to enable us to provide our services to you, and to meet our contractual commitments to you. In addition, we may use the information for the following purposes:
To notify you about any changes to the website, such as improvements or service/product changes, that may affect our service;
Where you have consented to receive such information, to provide information on other parties’ products or services that we feel may be of interest to you;
Where you have consented to receive our e-newsletters or other resources, to provide these to you.
Will we disclose your information?
We may disclose your information to regulatory bodies to enable us to comply with the law and to assist fraud protection and minimise credit risk.
Where you have consented for us to do so, we may provide your data to selected third parties who may contact you about their goods or services that you may be interested in.
If you do not want us to use your data for our or third parties’ use, you have the opportunity to withhold your consent to this when you provide your details to us, or by writing to us at the address detailed in clause 2, or sending us an email to info@bm-bluemountain.com at any time.
Please be advised that we do not reveal information about identifiable individuals to our advertisers, but we may, on occasion, provide them with aggregate statistical information about my visitors.
How will we control the use of your data?
If you have given us consent to use your data for a particular purpose, you can revoke or vary that consent at any time. If you do not want us to use your data or want to vary the consent that you have provided, you can write to us at the address detailed in clause 2 or email us at info@bm-bluemountain.com at any time.
Where we store and transfer your data
As part of the services offered to you, for example through our Website, the information you provide to us may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Our website is hosted by a German website provider with data centres in Germany. However, we use other remote service providers (e.g. to provide a marketing and customer relation management platform and some aspects of our service like call scheduling, landing pages, resources download, emails or payment), which may be based outside of the EEA, or use servers based outside of the EEA – this is generally the nature of data stored in “the Cloud”. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the EEA who work for one of my suppliers, e.g. our marketing platform provider, or work for us when temporarily outside of the EEA.
A transfer of your personal data may happen if any of the servers we or one of our service providers uses are located in a country outside of the EEA, or one of our service providers is located in a country outside of the EEA. If your personal data is transferred or stored outside the EEA in this way, we take steps with the aim of ensuring that your privacy rights continue to be protected, as outlined in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with the DPA and GDPR. If you use our service while you are outside the EEA, your personal data may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with these services.
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal data, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
We may disclose your personal data outside of our company: (a) in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets; and (b) if BM Blue Mountain’s business is bought by a third party, in which case personal data held by it about its customers will be one of the assets to transfer to the buyer. However, any such transfer will only be on terms that the confidentiality of your personal data is protected and that the terms of this Privacy Policy will continue to be complied with by the recipient.
Otherwise, we will process, disclose or share your personal data only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements or legal process served on us or the website.
You have the right to opt out of our processing of your personal data for marketing purposes by contacting us at info@bm-bluemountain.com.
Security
The transmission of information via the Internet or email is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of data while you are transmitting it to our site; any such transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal data, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password so that you can access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. You should choose a password that is not easy for someone to guess.
Third party links
You might find links to third party information on our website, forms or landing pages. This linked information should have their own privacy policies, which you should check. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies whatsoever as we have no control over them.

We may also gather information about your general Internet use by using a cookie file. Where used, these cookies are downloaded to your computer automatically.

This can be done by activating the setting in your browser which enables you to decline the cookies. Please note that should you choose to decline cookies, you may be unable to access particular parts of my Website. Where we work with advertisers on my Website, those advertisers may also use cookies, over which we have no control. Such cookies (if used) would be downloaded once you click on advertisements on my Website.
