Alpen Intelligence does not use analytics trackers, does not set cookies for tracking purposes, and does not sell or share any visitor information with third parties. The sections below provide the full legal detail required under Swiss and European law.
SECTION 01
Data Controller
The responsible party (controller) for data processing on this website within the meaning of applicable data protection law is:
Alpen Intelligence GmbH is subject to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP / DSG, in force since September 2023) and, where applicable, to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when processing data of individuals located in the EU/EEA.
SECTION 02
Our Data Philosophy
Discretion is a core value at Alpen Intelligence — not only in our client work, but in how we operate as a company. We have deliberately chosen to build a website that collects as little information as possible, consistent with the principle of data minimisation under both Swiss and European law.
We do not use advertising platforms, behavioural tracking systems, or third-party analytics tools. We do not build visitor profiles. We do not monetise data in any form.
SECTION 03
Data We Do Not Collect
When you visit this website, we explicitly do not collect:
- Your name, email address, or any other contact information (unless you proactively contact us)
- IP address fingerprinting or persistent device identifiers
- Browsing history, page-view sequences, or click patterns
- Demographic or behavioural data
- Location data beyond the country level (derived from network routing, not stored)
- Any information from social media integrations or advertising networks
There are no registration forms, newsletter sign-up forms, or user accounts on this website.
SECTION 04
Technical Data Processed by Hosting Infrastructure
This website is hosted on infrastructure provided by Infomaniak Network SA, based in Geneva, Switzerland. Like all web servers, the hosting infrastructure automatically records certain technical information when your browser requests a page. This is a technical necessity of the HTTP protocol and is not under our direct control.
The server may temporarily log:
- The IP address of the requesting device (anonymised or deleted within 24 hours per Infomaniak's policy)
- Date and time of the request
- URL and file requested
- HTTP status code of the response
- Browser type and operating system (User-Agent string)
- Referring URL (if your browser sends one)
These logs are used exclusively for the technical operation, security, and stability of the hosting service. They are not accessed by Alpen Intelligence for analytical purposes and are not used to identify individual visitors. Infomaniak's data processing practices are governed by their own privacy policy, available at infomaniak.com.
The legal basis for this incidental processing is legitimate interest (Art. 31 nFADP / Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in operating a technically functional and secure website.
SECTION 05
Cookies
This website does not use cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising purposes.
Your browser may store a session-level technical cookie strictly necessary for the delivery of certain page features (e.g. maintaining a language or scroll state during a single visit). Such cookies, if any exist, expire when you close your browser tab and do not persist across sessions. They contain no personally identifiable information and are not shared with any third party.
No cookie consent banner is required because we do not use non-essential cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and implement a compliant consent mechanism before deploying any non-essential cookies.
SECTION 06
Email Communication
If you contact us by email at contact@alpen-intelligence.ch, we will receive and process the information you include in your message — necessarily including your email address and any personal details you choose to share.
This data is used solely to:
- Respond to your enquiry
- Determine whether a mandate relationship is appropriate
- Comply with legal obligations we may be subject to
We do not add email correspondents to any mailing list, marketing database, or CRM system without explicit consent. Email correspondence is stored securely and retained only as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was received. The legal basis is pre-contractual measures or legitimate interest (Art. 31 nFADP / Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).
SECTION 07
Your Rights
Under the Swiss nFADP and, where applicable, the EU GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to any personal data we may hold about you:
Since we collect virtually no personal data through this website, exercising most of these rights will result in confirmation that we hold nothing to act upon. To exercise any right, please contact us at the address in Section 12. We will respond within 30 days.
If you are located in the EU/EEA and believe we have violated your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. If you are located in Switzerland, the competent authority is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) at edoeb.admin.ch.
SECTION 08
Data Security
This website is served exclusively over HTTPS (TLS encryption). All transmission of data between your browser and our server is encrypted in transit.
Our hosting provider Infomaniak operates ISO-certified data centres in Switzerland and applies technical and organisational measures consistent with industry standards for server security, access control, and incident response.
Because we collect minimal data, the attack surface for a breach involving personal information from website visitors is negligible. We nonetheless apply the principle of security by design to every operational decision.
SECTION 09
Links to Third-Party Websites
This website may contain links to external websites, including our profiles on LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter). Once you click on an external link and leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
We do not embed third-party content (e.g. social media widgets, video players, maps) that would cause those platforms to collect data about you without your knowledge.
SECTION 10
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we offer. Any changes will be published on this page with an updated revision date at the top.
We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
SECTION 11
Applicable Law and Jurisdiction
This Privacy Policy is governed by Swiss law, in particular the Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP, DSG) and its implementing ordinances. Where the GDPR applies (processing of data from EU/EEA residents), we comply with its requirements concurrently.
The place of jurisdiction for any disputes arising from this Privacy Policy, to the extent permitted by law, is Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
SECTION 12
Contact
For any questions, requests, or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or the processing of your personal data, please contact us:
We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within 30 calendar days of receipt.
