Legal basis (GDPR): legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)).

3. Website analytics (Matomo)

We use Matomo to understand how the website and content perform and to improve them (including understanding visits coming from newsletter links/referrers).

Matomo may process:

Matomo may store information on your device via cookies/identifiers.

Purpose: aggregated analytics and content improvement.
Legal basis (GDPR): consent for analytics cookies/identifiers (Art. 6(1)(a)).

Retention: We regularly delete older Matomo visitor data and retain aggregated statistics that are not linked to an identifiable person.

We use Ghost for membership management and newsletter sending.

When you subscribe, we process:

email address (and any optional fields you provide)
subscription status and preferences
technical delivery data (e.g., successful delivery, bounces, unsubscribes)
newsletter performance data (e.g., opens and link clicks), which is generated using tracking technologies in emails (pixels/tracked links). This can technically be associated with an individual recipient; we primarily use it to understand performance and improve the newsletter.

Purpose: send newsletters, manage subscriptions, maintain deliverability, and measure newsletter performance.
Legal basis (GDPR): consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).

Unsubscribe: every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link.

7. International transfers

Depending on where service providers and their sub-processors operate (including support/maintenance), personal data may be processed outside Switzerland and the EU/EEA.
