What we know about you, and what we do with it.

This policy explains what personal information we collect on SwissChris, why, and what your rights are. We keep it as short and as honest as the facts allow. If anything is unclear, write to us.

What we collect, and why

This page itself has no forms and collects nothing. The newsletter is published on Substack. When you subscribe, you enter your e-mail address on Substack, and Substack stores and processes it under its own privacy policy. We see the subscriber list inside Substack and use it for nothing but sending the column. You can unsubscribe with the link in every e-mail.

Cookies and tracking

This page does not set cookies and does not use analytics or tracking.

Service providers and third parties

Hosting. All our sites are hosted by CanSpace (canspace.ca), a Canadian hosting provider, on a server in Canada. Like every web server it keeps access logs (IP address, time, page requested, browser) for security and error analysis. We do not evaluate these logs for marketing purposes.

Google Fonts. The typeface of this site is loaded from Google Fonts. When the page loads, your browser requests the font files from Google’s servers, which means Google receives your IP address. Google’s privacy policy applies to that request.

Substack. The newsletter, its archive and the subscription form run on Substack. Images on this page are loaded from Substack’s servers, which receive your IP address. Substack’s privacy policy applies.

We do not sell personal information, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not use it for profiling.

Where your information is kept, and for how long

Our server is in Canada. E-mail correspondence is kept for as long as it is relevant to the matter you wrote about, then deleted.

Your rights

Access and correction. You may ask what personal information we hold about you and have it corrected.
Withdrawal of consent and deletion. You may withdraw your consent at any time and ask us to delete your information, unless we are legally required to keep it.
Unsubscribe. Every e-mail we send in a series contains an unsubscribe link. One click is enough.
Answer within 30 days. We respond to requests within thirty days.
Complaints. If you believe we have not handled your information properly, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (priv.gc.ca). Readers in Switzerland and the European Union have, in addition, the rights granted by the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and the GDPR, as far as they apply.

Young people

If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian before you send us personal information.

Changes

When we change how we handle information, we update this page and its date. Material changes to a service you signed up for will also reach you by e-mail.
