Privacy Policy

Introduction

Geoda.ch is committed to protecting the privacy of its users. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why, and how it is used. By using Geoda.ch, you accept the practices described here.

Data we collect

Geoda collects the following types of data:

• Anonymous usage statistics, including page views and address view counts. These are used in aggregate to understand which features are useful and to improve the service.
• For signed-in users: the email address used to sign in, and any preferences you choose to set. We use this only to operate the account and provide personalized features.
• Standard server logs, including IP address, browser type, and timestamps, retained for a limited period for security and operational purposes.

We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial data, or precise location data beyond the addresses you actively look up.

How we use your data

We use the data described above to:

• Operate and maintain the Geoda.ch service
• Improve features and the user experience
• Understand which information is useful to users
• Communicate with signed-in users when necessary (e.g. account-related notices)

We do not sell user data to third parties. We do not use your data for advertising. We do not share individual user data with third parties except where required by Swiss law.

Cookies and similar technologies

Geoda.ch uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies that are strictly necessary for the service to function (such as authentication cookies for signed-in users) or that help us understand aggregate usage. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Your rights

Under Swiss data protection law (revFADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

• Request information about the data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
• Withdraw consent for any optional data processing

To exercise these rights, contact us at admin@geoda.ch.

Data retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Anonymous usage statistics may be retained indefinitely.
