What we ask for, and what we do with it.

The one-line summary: we only ask for your email if you subscribe, we never pass it on, and you can delete yourself in one click.

Data controller

SwissIntel Consulting GmbH, registered at Dorfplatz 4, 6330 Cham (ZG), Switzerland. For data matters, use the email address in the footer.

What we collect

If you subscribe to Readings: your email address. Nothing else. We do not ask for your name, company or phone number.

If you write to us: whatever you include in your message — usually your email, your name and what you tell us about the project.

When you browse: our hosting provider records aggregated technical access data, such as browser type and country. We use no tracking or advertising cookies, and we do not share your browsing with social networks.

What we use it for

Your subscription email is used solely to send you the newsletter. Subscribing requires double opt-in: you will receive a message to confirm it was really you, and until you confirm we send nothing.

The data in your message is used to reply to you and, if a commercial relationship follows, to manage it.

Legal basis

Your consent, in the case of the newsletter. The performance of a pre-contractual or contractual relationship, when you write about a project. Our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and operational, in the case of technical logs.

How long we keep it

Your subscription email, until you unsubscribe. Commercial correspondence, for the duration of the relationship and afterwards for the period required by applicable accounting and tax rules.

Who else sees it

Our newsletter provider and our hosting provider, who act as processors and may only use it to provide us with that service. We do not sell or transfer data to third parties for commercial purposes.

We are a Swiss company and may process data in Switzerland and in the European Union. Switzerland holds an adequacy decision from the European Commission, so transfers between the two territories require no additional safeguards.

Your rights

You may ask us for access to your data, its rectification, its erasure, restriction of processing, its portability, and you may object to processing. Write to us and we will respond.

To unsubscribe from the newsletter you do not need to write: every send carries a one-click unsubscribe link.

If you believe we have not handled your request properly, you may complain to the supervisory authority in your country — in Switzerland, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date below. If the change affects how we use your email, we will tell you beforehand through the newsletter itself.
