The âAtlas of Switzerlandâ is operated by the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformation at ETH Zurich. Protecting the privacy of our users is very important to us. This privacy policy explains which data are processed when you visit our website and for what purposes.
We do not collect or store any personal data within the meaning of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP). There is no registration, login, or profile creation. Cookies are used solely for technical purposes or â with your explicit consent â for anonymous usage analysis.
For statistical analysis of website usage, we use Plausible Analytics. Plausible collects only minimal technical information (e.g. browser type, screen size, country, referrer). The IP address of the connection is also briefly processed to determine approximate geographic origin and to avoid duplicate counts. This IP address is immediately anonymised, so that no personal reference is possible. All data are processed exclusively on servers located in the European Union. More information: Plausible Privacy Policy.
To ensure technical stability and error analysis, we use Sentry.
When submitting the feedback form, the entered information (e.g. name, e-mail address, comment text, device type, time) is processed via Sentry. These data are used solely for internal quality improvement and are not shared with third parties.
When submitting the contact form, the entered information (e.g. e-mail address, message text) is transmitted via the service Resend and forwarded as an e-mail to our internal inbox. Processing takes place exclusively on servers located in the European Union. To process your request, the information may be shared with relevant persons or departments within ETH Zurich. No data are shared with external third parties. More information: Resend Privacy Policy.
For displaying base maps, we use MapTiler. When map tiles are loaded, requests are sent to MapTiler servers. MapTiler may process certain anonymised technical information (e.g. IP address, time, requested tile) to ensure operation and optimise performance. MapTiler operates exclusively on servers located within the European Union. More information: MapTiler Privacy Policy.
For basemap search, we use the swisstopo REST API services. When search queries are performed, requests are technically sent to swisstopoâs servers. In this process, swisstopo may process technical information (e.g. IP address, timestamp, search term) in order to provide and optimize the service. Further information: swisstopo Legal framework.
Apart from the services mentioned above, no additional data processing takes place. In particular:
As we do not store any personal data, no individual rights (such as access, correction or deletion) can be exercised.
