Privacy Policy
At Swiss Living Guide, your privacy matters deeply to us. This policy explains — in plain language — what data we collect, how we use it, and the rights you hold as our reader.
Last updated: June 2025 · Effective immediately
1. Introduction
Welcome. This Privacy Policy applies to all pages, tools, and content published on swisslivingguide.com. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here. We are committed to handling your personal information responsibly and transparently — fully in line with GDPR principles and Swiss data privacy standards. If you have questions at any point, please do not hesitate to reach out.
2. Information We Collect
We collect two types of information — what you share with us, and what is gathered automatically as you browse:
If you contact us via email or fill in any form, we may receive your name and email address. We never sell this information.
Technical data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time on site, and referral source may be collected through standard web analytics and advertising tools.
3. How We Use Your Information
The information we gather helps us deliver a better experience for every reader. Specifically, we use it to:
- Understand how our content is being used and continuously improve it
- Serve relevant advertisements through Google’s advertising platform
- Respond to enquiries or support requests you initiate
- Monitor site performance and diagnose any technical issues
- Comply with legal obligations and protect the site against misuse
We do not build individual user profiles, nor do we sell or rent your personal data to any third party.
5. Google Advertising & Third-Party Ads
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show you personalised ads based on your previous visits to this site and other websites across the internet.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
Third-party advertising companies may also use cookies to measure ad performance. These parties are governed by their own independent privacy policies.
6. Analytics & Performance Tracking
We use Google Analytics to gain insight into how visitors explore our content — including which pages are most popular, how long readers stay, and what devices they use. This data is aggregated and anonymised; we cannot identify individual users from it. Google Analytics data is processed by Google in accordance with their own privacy policy. You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the official Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
7. Affiliate Links & External Websites
Some links on Swiss Living Guide may be affiliate links. This means that if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. We only recommend services and resources we genuinely believe are useful to our readers.
For example, tools like our Switzerland Salary & Savings Calculator may link to related financial products or services. These external sites operate under their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them before engaging.
8. Data Protection & Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect any information associated with our website from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. Our website is served over HTTPS to ensure data in transit is encrypted. While no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, we continually strive to maintain industry-standard safeguards. We do not store sensitive personal data on our servers beyond what is necessary for the operation of the site.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may be entitled to certain rights under the GDPR or equivalent data protection regulations. These include:
- Right to Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
- Right to Rectification — ask us to correct any inaccurate data
- Right to Erasure — request deletion of your personal data
- Right to Restrict Processing — limit how we use your data
- Right to Object — opt out of data processing for direct marketing
- Right to Data Portability — receive your data in a portable format
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us directly at the address provided in Section 12.
10. Children’s Privacy
Swiss Living Guide is designed for adults and general audiences interested in Switzerland travel, lifestyle, and living. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will take appropriate steps to remove that information.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or the services we offer. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page occasionally to stay informed. Continued use of Swiss Living Guide following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
12. Contact Information
