Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data Piptera ("we", "us") collects, why we collect it, who processes it on our behalf, and the rights you have over it. It covers both the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

1. Controller

The controller responsible for your personal data is Piptera, Switzerland. For any privacy request or question, contact us at privacy@piptera.com.

2. What data we collect

This site is our public blog and information pages. We do not operate user accounts here, so we collect very little:

• Analytics data: only if you accept analytics in the consent prompt, our analytics provider (see section 4) collects pseudonymous usage data (a random client identifier, the pages you visit, referrer, approximate location, and device or browser type) to help us understand which content is useful. Nothing is collected if you decline, and we never use it for advertising or profiling.
• Server logs: our hosting provider records standard technical data, including your IP address, for each request, to serve the site and keep it secure. These logs are kept for a short period (see section 7).

3. Lawful basis and consent

Analytics is processed only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give through the consent prompt and can withdraw at any time using the control in section 5 below. Server logs are processed in our legitimate interest of serving and securing the site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

4. Processors and international transfers

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Google Ireland Limited hosts this site and, if you opt in, provides analytics, under data processing agreements. Google may process limited data through affiliates outside the EU/EEA and Switzerland, including Google LLC in the United States; these transfers are safeguarded by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and Google's certification under the EU-US and Swiss-US Data Privacy Frameworks. Beyond this we do not share your data except where required by law.

5. Cookies and analytics

We set no advertising cookies and run no advertising scripts. We use analytics only if you accept it in the consent prompt shown on your first visit: nothing is loaded and no analytics cookies are set unless you accept, and if you decline or ignore the prompt no analytics script runs at all. Your choice is remembered in your browser, and you can change it here at any time:

Analytics are currently off. Turn analytics on

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR and the Swiss FADP you have the right to access, rectify, erase, and export any personal data we hold about you, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to complain to a supervisory authority (in Switzerland the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner, or your EU/EEA member state authority). To exercise any of these, contact us at privacy@piptera.com.

7. Data retention

Server logs are kept for at most 30 days. Analytics data is retained by our analytics provider for the minimum period we can configure. Your analytics consent choice stays in your browser until you change it or clear your site data.

8. Security

All traffic is encrypted in transit, and we rely on managed cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest.

9. Changes and contact

We may update this policy; material changes are reflected by the "last updated" date above. For any privacy request or question, contact us at privacy@piptera.com. We answer requests concerning your rights within one month.
