1. Who we are

Alpine Digest(beta) is operated by this blog, Avenue Theodore Flourney 11, 1206, Switzerland. You can reach us at hello@alpinedigest.ch.

2. Data we collect

  • Newsletter signup: email address + chosen locale, if you subscribe.
  • Push notifications: an anonymous browser endpoint; we cannot identify you from it.
  • Usage analytics: aggregated, cookie-free analytics via Vercel — no IP storage, no profiling, no cross-site tracking.
  • Listing submissions: when business owners submit photos or text via /listing/manage, we store the email they enter and the content they share.

3. Why we process it

We process the data above to deliver the service you've asked for (newsletter, push, listing review). We do not sell or share your data with advertisers or third parties for marketing.

4. Service providers we rely on

  • Supabase (database hosting) — EU/US — privacy policy
  • Vercel (web hosting + analytics) — US/EU — privacy policy
  • OpenAI (AI-assisted content drafting) — US — privacy policy
  • Open-Meteo (weather data) — no personal data is sent.
  • Google Maps / Places (restaurant lookup) — Switzerland/global.

5. Your rights

Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the data we hold about you
  • Correct or delete your data
  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g. unsubscribe from the newsletter)
  • Lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC)

Email hello@alpinedigest.ch to exercise any of these rights.

6. Data retention

Newsletter signups are kept until you unsubscribe. Push subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe at the OS or browser level. Anonymous analytics are aggregated and retained per Vercel's policy.

7. Cookies

We use only strictly necessary cookies (session, locale preference). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies, so we do not display a cookie consent banner.
