Privacy policy

This policy covers switchlab.ch and the Switchlab newsletter. It is written for the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who is responsible

[Full name], Switchlab, [address], Switzerland. Contact: hello@switchlab.ch.

What I collect and why

  • Your email address, when you subscribe or ask for a build's source. I use it to send the source, the weekly newsletter and kit announcements. Each signup is tagged with the page you signed up from, so I know which builds people find useful. Legal basis: your consent, given through double opt-in.
  • Work requests: your email, project type, budget range, timing and message, used only to answer you. Legal basis: steps taken at your request before a contract.
  • Purchases are handled by the merchant of record, which processes your payment details under its own privacy policy. I receive your name, email and order details.
  • Visit statistics: page views, referrer and campaign tags, counted without cookies and without identifying you.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies. Analytics are cookie-free and videos are hosted on the site itself.

Processors

I use these services to run the site. Some of them may process data outside Switzerland and the EU, under standard contractual clauses.

  • Hosting and analytics: Vercel Inc. (USA)
  • Email: [Kit or Buttondown]
  • Payments and orders: [merchant of record]
  • Instagram messages: ManyChat Inc. (USA), when you comment on a reel to get a link

How long I keep it

Your email stays on the list until you unsubscribe, which you can do from any email with one click. Work requests are deleted after 12 months if no project follows. Order records are kept as long as Swiss accounting law requires.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or withdraw your consent, at any time by writing tohello@switchlab.ch. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or to the data protection authority in your EU country.
