AccentX

Privacy

We collect as little personal data as we reasonably can, store it in Switzerland or the EU, and don't sell it. This page tells you exactly what runs through us and why.

Who we are

The data controller is AccentX GmbH, CH-2502 Biel/Bienne, Switzerland. Full company identity on the imprint. Reach us at hello@accentx.ch.

What we collect, why, and on what basis

Mailing list
Your email address, when you submit the launch-list form. Stored in our internal data store (a JSON file in our website's repository, on a private branch) until we send you the launch email. We use it to send you one email when we're ready. Legal basis: consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
Contact form
Name, email, topic, and message, when you submit the contact form. Sent to us by email. We use it to reply. Legal basis: consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)).
Spam protection
When you submit either form, Cloudflare Turnstile briefly checks that you're a human. The check uses signals from your browser (no cookies, no fingerprinting persisted across sites). The resulting one-time token expires within minutes and is discarded after we verify it. Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
Server logs
IP address, request URL, user-agent, and response code, for every page request. We use it to operate and secure the service. Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
Theme preference
A single value (dark or light) stored in your browser's local storage when you click the theme toggle. We never see it — it stays on your device. Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Who has access

We use a small set of processors, each bound by data-processing agreements:

International transfers

Your data stays in Switzerland and the EU. The site itself runs in the EU (Frankfurt), and outbound mail through NetZone AG is processed in Switzerland. Switzerland has an EU adequacy decision, so transfers between the two are unrestricted under GDPR. Fly.io is incorporated in the United States, but our machines and storage are in the EU; any incidental transfer to the US is covered by Fly's data-processing agreement and EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

How long we keep it

Mailing list
In our internal data store (private git branch) until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete you.
Contact form
In our inbox until you ask us to delete it.
Spam-protection token
Discarded within minutes — only used to verify the form submission.
Server logs
Per Fly.io's defaults — typically a few days to a few weeks.
Theme preference
Until you clear your browser storage.

Your rights

Under Swiss FADP and EU GDPR, you have the right to:

To exercise any of these, write to hello@accentx.ch. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or the supervisory authority in your EU country of residence.

Cookies and similar technologies

We do not use cookies. The contact and mailing-list forms include a CSRF token, which is a hidden form field, not a cookie. The theme toggle uses your browser's local storage as described above; that data never leaves your device.
