2. Scope & Nature of Personal Data Collected
We process personal information solely when users interact voluntarily with our services, or via automated server logging strictly necessary for security and network resilience.
Contact Form Data: When you send a communication via our contact interface, we collect your full name, email address, message subject, and the contents of your inquiry. This data is utilized solely to respond to your specific request and is never sold or repurposed for unsolicited marketing.
Technical Server Logs: In conformity with Internet engineering standards, our web servers record connection metadata, including anonymized IP addresses, browser agent signatures, timestamp of visit, operating system category, and referring URL paths. These logs are preserved exclusively for diagnostics, fraud mitigation, and threat neutralization.
3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Porchmateparad utilizes cookies—small text strings placed upon your hardware—to retain layout states (such as cookie consent choices) and evaluate anonymized aggregate readership patterns. For a full schedule of our essential and non-essential cookies, please consult our dedicated Cookie Policy.
4. Legal Grounds for Processing (GDPR & Swiss FADP)
Under Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant sections of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), our legal bases for processing data comprise:
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR): Applicable where you explicitly submit personal contact details via our inquiry forms or consent to optional analytical cookies.
• Legitimate Interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): Applicable to maintaining the cybersecurity of our static infrastructure, defending against denial-of-service attempts, and presenting an optimized responsive digital layout.
• Legal Obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR): Applicable where tax, commercial, or judicial reporting requirements mandate the retention of corporate correspondence.
5. Third-Party Processors & Cross-Border Transfers
Porchmateparad does not disclose personal identifiers to commercial brokers. Technical service providers—such as web hosting infrastructure operators and cloud firewall networks—process server payloads under strict Data Processing Agreements (DPAs). When information is handled in jurisdictions outside Switzerland or the European Economic Area (EEA), transfers are governed by standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
6. Data Retention Period
Inquiries transmitted via our contact portal are retained for a maximum duration of twenty-four (24) months to facilitate continuity of customer service, following which records are securely expunged. Technical web logs are automatically truncated within thirty (30) days unless an active cybersecurity investigation requires extended forensic review.
