This page explains what personal data emod Sàrl collects through this website, why, and what you can do about it. It is written to meet the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) and the GDPR.

Who is responsible

emod Sàrl, Nyon, Vaud, Switzerland (IDE CHE-171.383.689, Registre du commerce du canton de Vaud) is the controller responsible for the personal data collected through this site. You can reach us about anything on this page at contact@emod.ch.

What we collect, and why

If you use the contact form, we collect the name, company, email address and message you enter, plus the page of this site you were on before the contact form. We use this to reply to you and to follow up about a possible engagement. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries. We do not use it for anything else and we do not sell it.

We measure basic, anonymous website traffic with Umami, an analytics tool we host ourselves. It uses no cookies and does not store your IP address or any information that could identify you. Because of this, the site does not need a cookie banner and we cannot identify you from it.

The booking page sets two technical session cookies that it needs to work; they are not used to track you or measure your visit.

Where your data is kept

Contact messages are not stored on our website. They pass through our own automation server in the European Union, which delivers them to our email and team chat with our Swiss provider, and a backup copy is emailed directly through that same Swiss provider. Website statistics stay on our own analytics server. Your data does not leave Switzerland or the EU.

How long we keep it

We keep contact enquiries for up to 12 months if they do not lead to work together, then delete them. If we start working together, we keep what we need for the engagement and our legal obligations.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete it. Write to contact@emod.ch and we will handle it. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) at edoeb.admin.ch.

Booking a call

If you book a call with us on cal.emod.ch, we collect your name, email address, company, your phone number if you choose to give it, what you write in the “What are you trying to solve?” field, and the time slot you pick. We use this to prepare the call, send you the confirmation and the video link, and follow up about a possible engagement. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries.

What you write in the free-text field is read only by us. Only put in what helps the call; you can tell us more when we speak.

The booking tool runs on our own server, in Switzerland, with its telemetry switched off: it sends nothing to its maker. The confirmation is emailed through our Swiss provider Infomaniak, the meeting is saved in our Infomaniak calendar, and the call takes place on kMeet, Infomaniak’s video service. No booking data leaves Switzerland.

Bookings are not yet deleted automatically after a fixed period. You can ask us to delete yours at any time by writing to contact@emod.ch.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is kept by Infomaniak, in Switzerland, only to send it to you. You subscribe in two steps: you confirm your address with a link we email you. Each newsletter records whether it was opened and which of its links were clicked, to learn what interests our readers; this is never sold or shared. Every newsletter has a link to unsubscribe at any time.
