According to Infomaniak’s support documentation, web access logs and error logs are retained for at least seven days. The exact retention period applicable to our website may depend on the hosting configuration.

3. Information We Collect

We do not currently offer a newsletter, operate a user registration system or intentionally collect personal information through visitor accounts or subscription forms.

If you contact us directly by email, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your email address, name and message. We use this information to respond to your enquiry.

Our website hosting provider and technical infrastructure may also process certain technical information, such as IP addresses and server logs, to operate, maintain and secure the website. The precise information collected depends on our hosting configuration and the services in use.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We may process personal information for the following purposes:

• To respond to messages and enquiries.
• To operate and maintain our website.
• To protect the website against technical problems, misuse and security threats.
• To meet applicable legal obligations.

We do not currently use a dedicated website analytics service. If we introduce analytics or other data-processing services in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website may use cookies or similar technologies required for its technical operation, security and functionality.

As the website develops, we may introduce additional services that use cookies or similar technologies. These may include website analytics, embedded media and social media integrations.

We will review the technologies used on our website and provide appropriate information about their purposes and relevant third parties. Where required, we will also provide suitable options for managing or objecting to their use.

6. External Websites and Social Media

Our website may contain links to external websites and social media platforms, including Instagram, Pinterest and YouTube.

When you follow a link to an external website, you leave Travel Pelican and become subject to the privacy practices of that external service. We do not control how third-party websites collect or process personal information.

Some embedded content or social media integrations may transmit information to third-party providers when a page loads or when you interact with the content. We will provide further information about such integrations as they are introduced.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of the relevant services.

7. Affiliate Links

Travel Pelican may include affiliate links to third-party websites, products or services.

When you click an affiliate link, you are redirected to the relevant external website. The affiliate partner may use cookies or similar technologies to identify referrals, attribute purchases or calculate commissions. The processing of personal information by that partner is governed by its own privacy policy and applicable legal obligations.

Travel Pelican may receive a commission if you make a qualifying purchase through an affiliate link, at no additional cost to you unless otherwise stated.

We do not control the data-processing practices of our affiliate partners. However, any personal information processed by Travel Pelican itself in connection with affiliate links remains subject to this Privacy Policy and applicable law.

8. Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information.

Personal information may be processed by service providers involved in operating and maintaining our website, where necessary for their services. External websites, social media platforms and affiliate partners may also process information when you interact with their services.

Where applicable, we will provide further information about relevant recipients and the purposes for which information is shared.

9. Data Retention and Security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal obligations.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable data protection law, you may have the right to request information about the personal data we process about you and, where the legal requirements are met, to request correction or deletion of that information or to object to certain processing.

To exercise your rights or ask a question about your personal information, please contact us at magistratus@icloud.com.

11. Applicable Law

This Privacy Policy is intended to reflect the requirements of applicable Swiss data protection law, including the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP).

Depending on the circumstances and the services offered, additional data protection laws may apply.
