International Data Transfers

Since we are a Switzerland-based company, we adhere to the Swiss FADP and the GDPR – particularly where we deliver advertising formats to users within the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA). In this context, we may process technical information such as IP addresses, cookie identifiers, or device details, which are considered personal data under applicable data protection laws.

Switzerland has been recognized by the European Commission as a country with an adequate level of data protection under Article 45 of the GDPR. Therefore, data transfers from the EU/EEA to Switzerland are permitted without additional safeguards.

As of now, we do not transfer personal data to any other third countries outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Should this change in the future, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. GDPR – for example, through the use of EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

Data Retention

We retain limited personal data in Switzerland for up to 365 days, unless a shorter or longer period is required for compliance or operational needs. Data may be anonymized or aggregated earlier if no longer needed.

Security

We implement technical and organizational safeguards to protect the data we process against unauthorized access or misuse.

Third-Party Platforms

Our ad technology is integrated on third-party publisher websites and may involve AdTech partners. We strive for compliance and security throughout the chain, but we are not responsible for the practices of external websites or systems.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in legal requirements, technology, or business operations. Material changes will be clearly communicated on our website or via our partners.
