Privacy Policy
Welcome to our Road Travel Awareness Portal, offering free advice on navigating Swiss toll infrastructure. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our site. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data in a transparent and responsible manner, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws.
1. Information We Collect
As a portal providing information and not engaging in commercial transactions, our data collection is minimal. We primarily collect non-personally identifiable information.
- Log Data: When you access our platform, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This may include your IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics. This data is used for anonymous statistical analysis.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Our site may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience, analyze trends, administer the platform, track users' movements around the platform, and gather demographic information about our user base. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level.
- Voluntary Information: If you choose to contact us via email for inquiries, we will collect your email address and any information you voluntarily provide in your communication. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry.
2. How We Use Collected Information
The information we collect is used to:
- Provide and maintain the functionality of our online platform.
- Improve our service by understanding how users interact with our content.
- Monitor the effectiveness of our informational resources.
- Respond to your inquiries and provide user support.
- Ensure the security and stability of our online platform.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties. We may share non-personally identifiable information with third-party service providers for data analysis, but only in aggregated and anonymized forms that do not identify any individual. This includes:
- Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our service (e.g., website hosting, analytics). These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information where required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
4. Data Security
We prioritize the security of your data and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
5. Data Retention
We retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide you with the services you have requested and to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Log data is typically deleted or anonymized after a short period, generally no longer than 30 days, unless required for security analysis.
