Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data may be collected and processed when visitors use this website.

The website is currently intended as an official information and promotional website for The Heralds of Disruption. At this stage, it may process only limited technical data necessary to display and secure the website.

This policy will be updated before additional functions such as newsletters, analytics, embedded videos, contact forms, payment processing, or a shop are activated.

The controller responsible for this website is:

[Your full legal name]

[Your postal address]

Switzerland

Email: [your-email@example.com]

When you visit this website, certain technical data may be processed automatically. This may include IP address, browser type and version, device information, operating system, referring pages, time of access, requested pages, and basic server log data.

If you contact us by email or through a future contact form, we may process the information you provide, such as your name, email address, message content, and any other details included in your inquiry.

If a newsletter, shop, payment system, analytics tool, or embedded media player is added later, additional data categories may be processed and this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

Personal data may be processed to provide and display the website, maintain technical security, prevent abuse, respond to inquiries, protect legal interests, and improve the website’s content and functionality.

If future services such as a newsletter or shop are added, data may also be processed to deliver requested communications, manage purchases, process payments, handle customer support, and comply with legal obligations.

Where Swiss data protection law applies, personal data is processed in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection.

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation applies, processing may be based on legitimate interests, consent, contractual necessity, or legal obligations, depending on the specific processing activity.

Legitimate interests may include secure operation of the website, communication with visitors, protection against misuse, and presentation of the author’s creative work.

This website may be hosted by an external hosting provider. Hosting providers may process technical access data and server logs to deliver the website securely and reliably.

If the website is deployed through Vercel, GitHub, or similar services, those providers may process technical data according to their own terms and privacy documentation.

Specific hosting and deployment providers will be listed here before the website is officially launched.

This website may later embed videos or media from third-party platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, Mux, or similar services.

Embedded content can cause data to be transferred to the respective third-party provider, especially when a visitor plays the video or interacts with the embedded player.

Before embedded videos are activated publicly, this section should be updated with the specific providers used and, where necessary, consent or privacy-friendly embedding options should be implemented.

At the current development stage, this website should not use non-essential cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics tools unless they are added intentionally.

If analytics, tracking, marketing pixels, newsletter tools, or similar technologies are added later, this Privacy Policy must be updated and a cookie or consent solution may be required depending on the tool and visitor location.

If you contact us, the information you provide will be used to respond to your inquiry and to manage the related communication.

Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or unnecessary personal information through general contact channels.

Email communication may not be fully secure. If sensitive communication becomes necessary, an appropriate secure channel should be agreed upon separately.

This website may later include a shop for books, digital editions, merchandise, or related products.

If payment providers such as Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, or other commerce services are integrated, personal data may be processed by those providers for checkout, payment, fraud prevention, tax, invoicing, fulfillment, and customer support purposes.

This section must be updated before any shop or payment function goes live.

Personal data is not sold.

Data may be shared with technical providers, hosting providers, communication providers, payment providers, legal advisors, or authorities where necessary for website operation, communication, legal compliance, security, or enforcement of rights.

Only the data reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose should be shared.

Some service providers may process data outside Switzerland, the European Union, or the European Economic Area.

Where required, appropriate safeguards should be used, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

The specific providers and transfer safeguards should be reviewed before public launch.

Personal data is kept only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, unless longer retention is required or permitted by law.

Technical logs are generally retained for limited periods for security and operational purposes.

Communication records may be retained as long as necessary to handle the inquiry, document the relationship, or protect legal interests.

Depending on the applicable law, you may have rights to request information about your personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing, data portability, or withdrawal of consent.

To exercise your rights, contact us using the email address listed above. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection authority.

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Visitors should use appropriate care when submitting information online.

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website develops, especially when new features, providers, shop functions, analytics, newsletters, or embedded media are added.
