Privacy policy
Last updated: [date]
This privacy policy explains what personal data we collect when you use this website, why we collect it and what rights you have. It is written to meet the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) and, where it applies to visitors in the EU, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Who is responsible
[Company name] ([legal form]), [street and number], [postcode city], Switzerland. Email: ryan@bloomburst-agency.com. For any data protection question, write to this address.
2. What data we collect and why
Visiting the website
Our hosting provider automatically records technical data when you load a page: IP address, date and time, page visited, browser and device type. This is needed to deliver the site securely and to detect abuse. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure website (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)).
Contact form
When you send the form, we receive your name, work email, phone number (optional), company, website (optional), industry, budget range, message and language. The form is processed by FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), which forwards it to our email inbox. We use this data only to answer your request and prepare a possible offer. Legal basis: steps prior to a contract and our legitimate interest in answering enquiries (GDPR art. 6(1)(b) and (f)).
Booking a call
If you book a call, you use Google Calendar’s appointment booking page. Google processes the details you enter (such as name, email and any answers to booking questions) and sends us a booking confirmation. Legal basis: steps prior to a contract (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)).
If you write to us, we process your email and its content to reply. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in responding (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)).
Cookies, analytics and advertising
With your consent only, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use the site and Google Ads to measure whether our advertising leads to enquiries. These services set cookies and process data such as an online identifier, pages viewed and approximate location. We use Google Consent Mode: until you accept, these tools run without storing cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser’s local storage so we do not ask again. You can change it at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of each page. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR art. 6(1)(a)).
3. Who receives your data
- Hosting provider: [GitHub Pages / Netlify / Vercel / Infomaniak, choose one] ([country]).
- FormSubmit (formsubmit.co) [country]: contact form forwarding.
- Google Ireland Ltd and Google LLC (Ireland and United States): Google Calendar, Google Workspace email [if used], Google Analytics and Google Ads [if enabled].
We do not sell your data and only share it with these providers to run the website and our business.
4. Transfers outside Switzerland and the EU
Some providers are based in the United States. We rely on the Swiss-U.S. and EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, and otherwise on standard contractual clauses approved by the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) and the European Commission.
5. How long we keep data
Enquiries and booking data are kept as long as needed to handle your request and for up to [24] months afterwards if no contract follows. Business records linked to a contract are kept for 10 years as required by Swiss law. Analytics data is kept for [14] months.
6. Your rights
You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier processing. To exercise these rights, email ryan@bloomburst-agency.com. You may also complain to the Swiss FDPIC (edoeb.admin.ch) or, if you live in the EU, to your national data protection authority.
7. Security
The website uses HTTPS encryption. We limit access to personal data to people who need it and use providers with appropriate security measures.
8. Changes
We may update this policy when our services or the law change. The current version is always published on this page.
