Updated: 2 September 2026
In plain terms: no advertising, no trackers, no resale, no profiling. We sell websites, not data. But two providers do get to see something on every visit: our host and Google (the site's typefaces, and the bot filter on the form). This page says exactly what, why, for how long, and what you can demand from us.
This site is operated by PrestoWeb, a web-design service for Swiss businesses and self-employed people, based in Geneva. We decide what is collected and why, which makes us the controller under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP, revised).
Contact for any data protection matter: contact@prestoweb.ch. Full details in the legal notice.
Nothing is collected behind your back, and nothing is collected "just in case". This is the complete list.
| When | What we receive | What for |
|---|---|---|
| You visit a page | Standard server logs: IP address, date and time, page requested, browser | Running and protecting the site. Purged automatically by the host. |
| Quote request form | Your name, your e-mail, your phone number if you give one, and a description of your project | Replying to you, pricing your project, supporting you if you hire us. |
| Submitting the form | The server records the send: timestamp, IP address, e-mail address, message content and the outcome of the delivery | Finding a lost message, diagnosing a delivery failure, showing a request did arrive. See section 4. |
| Submitting the form | The bot filter logs the IP address, a timestamp and the outcome of the check | Blocking automated submissions. See section 3. |
| You become a client | Whatever the engagement requires: billing details, content you entrust to us, technical access | Building the site, invoicing, providing maintenance. |
We run no audience analytics, no ad targeting, no profiling: no Google Analytics, no Facebook pixel, no measurement tool of any kind. No data is sold, rented or passed to a third party for commercial or advertising purposes.
One exception deserves to be named: the site's typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts. Your browser therefore fetches them from Google, which receives your IP address in the process — on every page, not only the one carrying the form. No cookie is set for this and we derive nothing from it, but we would rather write it down than let you believe this site talks to nobody.
Since 31 August 2026 the quote request form has been protected by Google reCAPTCHA v2 — the "I'm not a robot" checkbox. We added it because the form was receiving automated spam.
This has to be said plainly: that service does see things. To tell a human from a program, reCAPTCHA analyses, on the form page, your IP address, information about your browser and device, and the way you interact with the page (mouse movement, typing, time spent). It also sets its own cookies. Google processes this, not us: all we get back is the verdict, "human" or "bot".
If you would rather avoid it, write to us directly at contact@prestoweb.ch — a quote request by e-mail counts exactly the same.
Since 2 April 2026, Google acts as a processor for reCAPTCHA: it handles this data on our behalf and on our instructions, no longer for its own account. Details on Google's side: privacy policy and terms of service.
The form sends us your message by e-mail and sends you an acknowledgement at the address you gave. Both go through Infomaniak's encrypted mail server.
The server keeps a written trace of it. Let us say so plainly: a log keeps, for every send, the timestamp, the IP address, the e-mail address, the message content and the delivery outcome. That log is reachable neither from the web nor by anyone outside PrestoWeb; it exists to find a message that did not arrive. It follows the same retention period as the request itself (section 7), and you can ask for it to be erased.
One technical limit worth knowing: the form accepts only one submission every eight seconds per IP address, and carries an invisible trap field aimed at robots. A genuine submission is never affected.
No advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, no profiling. What you may come across:
We show no consent banner: none of these cookies is used to track you for advertising or statistical purposes. You can block them in your browser — the form will then stop working, the rest of the site will not.
Nobody beyond the providers strictly needed. Here they are, in full:
| Provider | Role | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Infomaniak Network SA | Hosting of the site and the mail | Geneva, Switzerland |
| Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC | reCAPTCHA bot filter, and typefaces (Google Fonts) | Ireland, United States |
| Stripe | Paying an invoice online, if you choose that route | Ireland, United States |
| TWINT AG | Paying an invoice by TWINT, if you choose that route | Switzerland |
Your card details, where applicable, are entered at the payment provider and go straight to it: PrestoWeb never sees your card number and stores it nowhere.
Transfers abroad. Google and Stripe involve transferring data outside Switzerland, in particular to the United States. Since 15 September 2024 the Swiss Federal Council recognises (Annex 1 to the Data Protection Ordinance) that US companies certified under the Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Framework provide an adequate level of protection within the meaning of art. 16 FADP. These transfers take place on that basis, failing which on standard contractual clauses.
| Data | Retention |
|---|---|
| Server logs | Per the host's policy, a few weeks |
| Bot filter log | 12 months |
| Quote requests without follow-up, and the matching send log | 12 months after the last exchange |
| Technical e-mails (support, maintenance) | 24 months |
| Client files, contracts and invoices | 10 years — statutory retention period (art. 958f CO) |
Swiss data protection law gives you the right, at any time and free of charge, to:
One address for all of it: contact@prestoweb.ch. We answer within 30 days. We may ask you to prove your identity — which is precisely there to protect you.
If our answer does not satisfy you, you may turn to the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, edoeb.admin.ch, or to the civil courts.
The site is served entirely over HTTPS. Messages go through Infomaniak's encrypted SMTP. Technical files (logs, configuration, backups) are out of reach from the web. No measure is perfect: should an incident affect your data and pose a risk to you, we would contact you and report the case to the FDPIC, as art. 24 FADP requires.
This policy changes as the site changes. The date at the top gives the last revision. The 2 September 2026 update sets out the bot filter, names Google Fonts, discloses the form's send log, lists the providers with their country and spells out your rights.
