Privacy Policy

What this policy covers
This policy explains what Gewerberaum Schweiz processes about you, why, and what you can ask for. It applies to every page of the site and to the emails the site sends. We keep what is needed to run the service and build no advertising profiles.
Visiting the site
Gewerberaum Schweiz runs on Cloudflare's network. Each request leaves a log entry with your IP address, the time, the page requested, your browser type and the referring page. Cloudflare keeps these logs for a short period to run and protect the service, which is our legitimate interest. We do not build profiles from them.
Forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which tells a browser from a bot without a puzzle. Traffic is measured with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and no cross-site identifiers: it counts page views and page speed, not people.
The contact form
A message through the contact form stores your name, your email address, your message and the site it came from in our mail archive, so that we can read and answer it. We keep correspondence; it is not deleted on a schedule.
Search alerts
An alert stores the search, your email address, the chosen frequency and when the last digest went out. It becomes active only after you confirm the address, and it stops when you unsubscribe through the link in any alert email. The basis is your consent.
Posting a listing
Posting a listing stores the listing, the photos and documents you add, the email address you used, the dates it was created, moderated and expires, and a salted hash of your IP address used only to limit the posting rate. The address is used for the confirmation, the manage link and replies to your listing, nothing else.
A published listing is public: it appears on Gewerberaum Schweiz and on our sister sites, in feeds and in structured data for search engines, until it expires or you withdraw it. Rejected listings and their photos are deleted after a retention period. Listings collected from public sources carry what those sources published, including an agency or contact name, and link back to the source. If a listing about your property should come down, use the contact form.
Who else sees data
We run on Cloudflare for hosting, database, file storage and email delivery. Cloudflare processes data in the European Union and the United States under its data processing terms. Content submitted for publication is also processed by a service provider in the United States for the review described in the Terms of Service.
When an email reaches one of our addresses, a short notice with the sender's address and the subject line may go to our operator channel on Telegram, so that we see it; the message itself stays in our archive. Beyond the providers named here, no company receives personal data from us. We do not sell or rent it, and we show no third-party advertising.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to a use, or withdraw a consent. Write through the contact form; we answer there and may ask you to confirm the email address the data is tied to.
Two limits, stated plainly: correspondence is kept, and content that others have already copied or that search engines have indexed is beyond our reach once removed here. If you are in Switzerland you can also turn to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner; in the European Union, to your local supervisory authority.
Age
Gewerberaum Schweiz is not directed at anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly keep data about children. If a child has submitted something, tell us through the contact form.
Changes

Every privacy request goes through the contact form.
