Privacy Policy for Swiss Highway Advice Portal
Your privacy is of utmost importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how our online platform, dedicated to providing tourist driving advice for Switzerland, collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User") of the site.
Information We Collect
Our service prioritizes factual information over sales. As such, we collect minimal personal data. We do not require account creation or personal submissions to access our core information regarding Swiss highway access, vignette requirements, or electronic toll registration.
- Non-Personal Identification Information: We may collect non-personal identification information about Users whenever they interact with our site. This may include the browser name, the type of computer, and technical information about Users' means of connection to our site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information. This data is aggregated and anonymized for site analytics and improvement.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Our site may use "cookies" to enhance User experience. Users' web browsers place cookies on their hard drive for record-keeping purposes and sometimes to track information about them. Users may choose to set their web browser to refuse cookies or to alert them when cookies are being sent. If they do so, note that some parts of the site may not function properly. These cookies are primarily for analytics and site functionality, not for personal identification.
How We Use Collected Information
Our online platform collects and uses minimal User information for the following purposes:
- To Improve Our Site: We continually strive to improve our website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you and statistical analysis of site usage.
- To Understand User Behavior: Aggregated, anonymized data helps us understand how our Users as a group use the services and resources provided on our site, allowing us to optimize content clarity and navigation.
How We Protect Your Information
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, username, password, transaction information, and data stored on our site. Given the limited nature of information collected, the risk of data breaches involving personal data is inherently low.
Sharing Your Personal Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent Users' personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers for the purposes outlined above. This information is purely statistical and does not identify any individual.
Third-Party Websites
Users may find advertising or other content on our site that links to the sites and services of our partners, suppliers, advertisers, sponsors, licensors, and other third parties. We do not control the content or links that appear on these sites and are not responsible for the practices employed by websites linked to or from our site. In addition, these sites or services, including their content and links, may be constantly changing. These sites and services may have their own privacy policies and customer service policies. Browsing and interaction on any other website, including websites that have a link to our site, is subject to that website's own terms and policies.
Compliance with GDPR and Other Data Protection Laws
As a service operating from Switzerland and serving individuals globally, including those in the European Union, we adhere to the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). Our minimal data collection practices are designed to protect user privacy inherently. We process data lawfully, fairly, and transparently, and only for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. We ensure that personal data is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. We respect your rights as a data subject, including the right to access, rectify, or erase your data, although given our limited collection, these rights primarily pertain to the non-personal aggregated data we handle.

We encourage Users to frequently check this page for any changes to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to review this Privacy Policy periodically and become aware of modifications.
