1. Controller

The controller for the processing of personal data within the meaning of the revised FADP is Luc, reachable at info@diytracker.ch.

2. Data processed

• Account data (for invited contributors): email address, hashed password, admin status, invitation and login timestamps.
• Submitted content: event data, venue information, uploaded flyers, genres, links.
• Server logs for all visitors: IP address, user agent and timestamp — used to detect automated abuse (scraping/spam) and for diagnostics.
• Session cookie: a single, technically necessary cookie used to maintain the login session. No tracking, no profiling, no third-party analytics.

3. Purpose and legal basis

The data are processed exclusively for operating this non-commercial platform: authenticating invited contributors, displaying the event calendar, moderating submissions, and protection against automated abuse. Processing is based on the overriding interest in operating a non-commercial community platform (Art. 31 para. 2 let. a revised FADP) and, for account data, on the contractual relationship with invited contributors. No commercial exploitation, advertising or profiling takes place.

4. Retention

• Account data: until the account is deleted on request or after prolonged inactivity.
• Published event data: retained as part of the archive.
• Server logs: rotated, at most 90 days.
• Session cookies: at most seven days from last access.

5. Disclosure and hosting

No third-party tracking services are used — in particular no advertising or analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel. The platform is hosted with a provider located in Switzerland or the EU, which necessarily has technical access to the stored data in the course of operating the service.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access the data processed about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to restrict or object to its processing. Please send requests to info@diytracker.ch. If you believe your data-protection rights are being violated, you can also lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) — www.edoeb.admin.ch.
