Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored on your device. They may be used, for example, to ensure the technical functionality of the website, save settings or analyse website usage.

No separate activation of Google Analytics or the Meta/Facebook Pixel could be reliably identified on the publicly accessible website at the time this Privacy Policy was prepared.

When you access these external platforms, the privacy policies of the respective providers apply. HeliFoto.ch has no control over how these platforms process personal data.

Where the links are merely external links, data processing by the respective platform generally begins in connection with your visit to that platform.

Personal data will only be disclosed to third parties where this is necessary for the provision of our services, the handling of business transactions, compliance with legal obligations or the protection of our legitimate interests.

When using hosting, cloud, email, IT or other third-party services, personal data may be processed or stored outside Switzerland.

In particular, when using Wix, personal data may be processed in different countries. The specific locations where data is stored or processed may change depending on the services and technical infrastructure used by Wix.

16. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

Our website is provided using an encrypted HTTPS connection.
