Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how our online platform, "Road Travel Awareness Portal," collects, uses, and protects any information that you give us when using this service. We are committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using our site, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this privacy statement.
1. Information We Collect
As a free advisory service focused on Swiss toll infrastructure, our site does not directly collect personal identifying information from visitors for the provision of our core services, which are limited to offering useful information and guidance. We do not require account creation, logins, or submission of personal data to access our content.
- Automatically Collected Information: Like most websites, we may collect non-personal information about your visit, such as your IP address (anonymized if possible), browser type, operating system, referring pages, and the pages you accessed on our site. This data is collected through standard web server logs and analytical tools (e.g., Google Analytics, configured for privacy) and is used in an aggregated, anonymized form to understand how our visitors use our site and to improve its functionality and content. This information does not identify you personally.
- Information via Contact: If you choose to contact us via the provided telephone number, any personal information you share during such communication will be handled solely for the purpose of addressing your inquiry. This information is not stored digitally on our web servers or integrated into any user databases.
2. How We Use the Information
The non-personal information collected is used for the following purposes:
- To understand and analyze trends, administer the site, track users anonymously across the site, and gather demographic information.
- To improve our site by assessing which areas are most useful and identifying needs for new guidance or content.
- To maintain the security and integrity of our online platform.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your non-personal information to outside parties for marketing purposes. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with trusted third parties who assist us in operating our site, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential and comply with relevant data protection laws. This might include web analytics providers, strictly for statistical analysis.
We may also disclose your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
4. Data Security
We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the non-personal information we collect online. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
5. Cookies
Our site may use "cookies" to enhance your experience. Cookies are small files placed on your hard drive by a website. They help us understand how our site is used and improve its content and layout. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, note that some parts of the site may not function properly. We use cookies primarily for aggregated, anonymized analytics and to remember your preferences for future visits.
6. Links to Other Websites
Our service provides useful information and may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. You should exercise caution and look at the privacy statement applicable to the website in question.
