Privacy policy
In short: this portal collects as little data as possible. No tracking, no advertising networks, no sharing with third parties for advertising purposes.
Responsible party
This website is operated by the holder of the domain deinskigebiet.ch. For data protection matters, see the legal notice.
What happens when you visit
The site is hosted by Netlify. As with any web server, technically necessary connection data is processed (IP address, time, page requested, browser type). This data serves operation and security and is not used to build profiles.
No analytics or tracking services are used, no advertising cookies and no social media plugins.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your email address and the date of sign-up. We use it solely to send the newsletter. Sign-up runs technically through Netlify’s form system. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email or by messaging us; the address is then deleted.
Saved list
Saved ski areas are stored locally in your browser only (localStorage). This data never leaves your device and is not visible to us. If you clear your browser storage, the list is gone.
Comments
Current articles can be commented on without an account. We store the comment text, an optional name and the time. No email address is requested or recorded.
In addition we store a checksum of your IP address with each comment (salted, truncated SHA-256 hash). The IP address itself is not stored and cannot be recovered from the checksum. It exists solely to limit bulk spam and is never visible externally. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in keeping the service usable and free of spam.
Comments are publicly visible as soon as they are submitted. So do not write anything there you would not say in public, and no details about other people. We reserve the right to delete comments without giving reasons, in particular advertising, insults or unlawful content. There is no obligation on us to publish.
Comments are held in the storage service of our hosting provider, Netlify. If you would like a comment of yours removed, a short message to the address above stating the article and the text is enough.
Embedded external services
- OpenStreetMap (map tiles): when a map loads, your IP address is transmitted to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation.
- SLF / WSL (snow measurements): readings from the Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research are retrieved when the site is built, so no request goes out from your browser.
- Wikimedia Commons: the resort photos are stored on our own server; nothing is fetched from Wikimedia. Only the source links point there.
Your rights
You have the right to information about the data stored about you and to have it corrected or deleted. An informal message is enough.
This policy describes the actual technical state of the portal and is updated whenever that changes.
