Privacy Policy

Last updated: 31.10.2026

We respect your privacy and take the protection of your personal data seriously.
This policy explains what information we collect when you visit this website, how we use it, and what rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP).

1. Data Controller

Name: Ruan Steyn
Email: [email protected]
Website: https://techlotse.cloud

The controller is responsible for determining the purposes and means of processing personal data collected via this website.

2. Data We Collect

2.1. Automatically collected data

When you access our website, your browser automatically transmits certain data to our server, such as:

The page(s) visited
Date and time of access
Browser type and version
Operating system
Referring website (referrer URL)
Anonymized IP address

This data is technically necessary to display the website correctly and to ensure its stability and security.

2.2. Analytics data

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies to analyze your use of the site. We have configured Analytics to:

Anonymize your IP address before storage (“IP anonymization”)
Disable ad personalization and demographic reporting
Restrict data sharing with other Google services

The legal basis for data processing is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time (see Section 7).

3. Purpose of Processing

We process personal data exclusively to:

Provide and improve our website
Analyze visitor traffic (page views, referrers, device types)
Maintain security and prevent misuse

No personal data is sold, rented, or otherwise transferred to third parties for commercial purposes.

4. Data Retention

Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 14 months.
Server logs containing anonymized IP addresses are deleted or anonymized automatically after 30 days, unless required for security investigations.

5. Data Transfers Outside Switzerland / EEA

Data collected by Google Analytics may be processed on servers in the European Union and the United States.
Google has implemented Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission to ensure adequate data protection.

We use a cookie-consent mechanism that allows you to choose whether analytics cookies are placed.
Analytics cookies are only set after you grant consent. You may revoke consent at any time using the “Change cookie settings” link in the footer.

You can also disable cookies entirely through your browser settings. Note that some parts of the website may not function correctly without them.

Under GDPR and nFADP, you have the following rights:

Access – to receive a copy of your personal data.
Rectification – to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Erasure – to request deletion of your personal data (“right to be forgotten”).
Restriction – to limit processing in certain cases.
Data portability – to receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Objection – to object to data processing, including profiling.
Withdrawal of consent – to revoke consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
