How we handle personal data on this website.
This website (the "Site") is an early-stage presentation of the SkyGuard Intelligence project. The company is currently in formation and has not yet been incorporated. Once the company is incorporated, it will assume the role of controller and this policy will be updated with its registered name, address and company number.
This policy applies to personal data processed when you visit this Site, use the contact form, or contact us by email or phone. It does not cover the SkyGuard drone platform itself: any pilot, demo or commercial deployment is governed by separate agreements and privacy documentation provided at that time.
We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where it applies to visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The Site is served through Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, and Cloudflare's European entities). When you access any page, Cloudflare automatically processes technical data needed to deliver the Site and protect it from attacks, including:
Purpose: delivering the Site, network security, abuse and DDoS protection, debugging.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functional website
(Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; Art. 31(1) FADP).
Retention: server and security logs are kept for a short period consistent with
Cloudflare's log retention practices; we do not build visitor profiles from them.
When you submit the contact form, we process the data you enter:
Purpose: answering your enquiry, arranging demos, preparing offers, and following up
about SkyGuard products as stated next to the form.
Legal basis: taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract
(Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries
(Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; Art. 31 FADP). Marketing follow-up beyond your enquiry happens only with
your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Retention: enquiry data is kept for as long as needed to handle the enquiry and any
resulting business relationship, then deleted; enquiries that lead nowhere are deleted no later
than 24 months after last contact.
If you email or call us directly, we process your contact details and the content of the communication to handle your request, on the same purposes, legal bases and retention terms as Section 3.2. Email is processed by our email service provider on our behalf.
To display correctly, the Site currently loads resources from third-party servers. When your browser fetches these resources, your IP address and technical request data are transmitted to the third party:
Purpose: consistent typography and imagery.
Legal basis: legitimate interest in the technical presentation of the Site
(Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We are working to self-host these resources so that no data is
transmitted to these providers.
We plan to use Google Analytics 4 ("GA4", Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to understand how the Site is used. GA4 will only run after you give consent via a cookie banner, and this section applies only from the moment GA4 is activated on the Site.
When active and consented to, GA4 processes:
Purpose: aggregate statistics about Site usage to improve content.
Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time with
effect for the future via the cookie settings.
Retention: analytics data will be retained for a maximum of 14 months.
We share personal data only with service providers that process it on our behalf (processors), currently:
We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. We may disclose data if required by law or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
We are based in Switzerland; some providers listed above process data in the United States or other countries outside Switzerland and the EEA. Where that happens, we rely on recognised safeguards: an adequacy decision (including the EU–U.S. and Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, where the recipient is certified) and/or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, adapted as required by Swiss law. You can request a copy of the relevant safeguards via the contact details in Section 1.
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymise it. Specific periods are given in each subsection of Section 3. Statutory retention duties (e.g. commercial correspondence under Swiss law) may require longer storage of specific records.
Under the FADP and, where applicable, the GDPR, you have the right to:
To exercise any right, email info@skyguard-intelligence.com. We may ask you to verify your identity. We respond within 30 days.
You can also lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC, Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, Switzerland) or, if you are in the EEA, with your local data protection supervisory authority.
The Site is served over HTTPS (TLS encryption). Access to enquiry data is limited to the people who need it to respond. We apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk, and we review them as the project grows.
We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.
The Site is aimed at businesses and public agencies and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
We will update this policy as the project evolves — in particular upon incorporation of the company, when the contact form backend changes, and before analytics is activated. The version date at the top tells you when it was last revised. The current version published on this page applies.
