Privacy Policy for Our Road Travel Awareness Portal
Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how our online platform, dedicated to providing free advice for navigating Swiss toll infrastructure, collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information gathered from users. We are committed to protecting your personal data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Swiss data protection laws.
Information We Collect
Our service is primarily an informational portal. We do not operate as a sales platform and therefore do not process transactions or collect sensitive financial information. The types of information we may collect are limited and generally fall into the following categories:
- Non-Personal Identification Information: This may include the browser name, the type of computer, and technical information about users' means of connection to our site, such as the operating system and the Internet service providers utilized and other similar information. This data is aggregated and anonymized for analytical purposes.
- Voluntarily Provided Information: Should we introduce features enabling direct communication (e.g., contact forms or newsletter subscriptions), any information you choose to provide, such as your name and email address, will be collected solely for the purpose explicitly stated at the point of collection.
How We Use Collected Information
Our online platform may collect and use user information for the following purposes:
- To Improve Our Site: We continually strive to improve our website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you. Analyzing non-personal identification information helps us understand user behavior and preferences, enabling us to enhance content relevancy regarding Swiss vignette zones, sales points, and exceptions.
- To Provide Relevant Information: Information gathered helps us deliver accurate and up-to-date guidance on legal travel within Switzerland, including details on additional fees for certain Alpine passes and information about digital versus physical vignettes.
- For Communication (if applicable): If you opt-in for communications, any contact details provided will be used to respond to your inquiries or send you updates related to our content, such as new travel tips or changes in regulations.
How We Protect Your Information
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices and security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information and data stored on our site. Given the nature of our service, we aim to minimize personal data collection, inherently reducing privacy risks.
Sharing Your Personal Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent users' personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information regarding visitors and users with our business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers for the purposes outlined above. We only disclose information when required by law or in good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations.
