Privacy policy

Last updated: 7 November 2026

Who is responsible

AnalyticBase Sàrl, Route de Prarainson 76, 1965 Savièse, Switzerland, publishes archeobase.org and is responsible for the personal data processed on it. For any question about this policy or about your data, write to support@archeobase.org.

We process personal data in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, for visitors in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This policy covers the website archeobase.org. The data that our customers record in the ArcheoBase application (archeobase.ch) is governed by the agreements we sign with them.

In short

  • No analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and therefore no cookie banner.
  • We collect only what is needed to show the website, to answer your messages, and to send the newsletter you subscribe to.
  • We do not sell or rent personal data.

Visiting the website

When you open a page, your browser sends our server technical data: your IP address, the date and time, the page requested, the page you came from, and your browser and operating system. We use it only to deliver the website, keep it secure (for example to detect attacks) and fix errors. We do not use it to identify you or to build profiles. These server logs are deleted after 30 days, unless they are needed to investigate a security incident.

The website is hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in Zurich, Switzerland.

Legal basis under the GDPR: our legitimate interest in running a secure website (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Contact form

When you write to us with the form on the “Book a demo” page, we receive your first name, your email address, and your message by email. We use them to answer you and, if you wish, to organize a demo. We keep them as long as needed to handle your request, and longer only if it leads to a business relationship. The email is sent through the email service of Amazon Web Services (Amazon SES) in Frankfurt, Germany.

The “Book my demo” button opens our booking calendar on Microsoft Bookings (Microsoft). The details you enter there to book a time are processed by Microsoft for us; see Microsoft's privacy statement.

Legal basis under the GDPR: steps taken at your request before a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and our legitimate interest in answering inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Newsletter

When you subscribe to our newsletter with the form at the bottom of each page, we receive your email address, the topics you chose, the language of the page and the address of the page you subscribed from. We use them only to send you the newsletter on those topics, in that language.

Your request is recorded directly in our application ArcheoBase, which runs on Amazon Web Services in Zurich, Switzerland. ArcheoBase then sends you an email asking you to confirm your subscription. You receive the newsletter only once you have confirmed it. If you do not confirm within 30 days, we delete your request.

The confirmation email and the newsletter are sent from newsletter@archeobase.org through the email service of Infomaniak (Infomaniak Network SA, Geneva, Switzerland). We do not measure whether you open our emails or click their links.

You can unsubscribe at any time with the link at the bottom of every newsletter, or by writing to support@archeobase.org. We then stop sending you the newsletter. We keep your newsletter data (the topics you chose and the dates of your request and of your confirmation) only while you are subscribed.

Legal basis under the GDPR: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time by unsubscribing. Withdrawing it does not affect the newsletters sent before.

Videos

The videos on this website are delivered by Bunny.net (BunnyWay d.o.o., Ljubljana, Slovenia). To play them, your browser connects to Bunny's servers, which receive your IP address and technical data about your browser. Bunny serves the files from the server nearest to you, which can be outside Switzerland and the European Union.

The training videos and the videos of the documentation use Bunny's player. It also sends Bunny anonymous viewing statistics (which video, how long it was watched) and measures the speed of Bunny's network from your browser. See Bunny's privacy policy.

Training videos and documentation

The training videos and the documentation are written in our application. Some of their images (screenshots, logos) are loaded directly from our application servers, archeobase.ch and images.archeobase.ch, which receive your IP address and the technical data described above. These servers are run with Amazon Web Services (Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, Luxembourg): the images are stored in Zurich and delivered through AWS's network of servers (CloudFront).

Cookies and storage in your browser

We do not use cookies or similar technologies for analytics, advertising or tracking. The website only stores what it needs for the functions you use:

Name Type, set by Purpose Kept
.AspNetCore.Culture Cookie, archeobase.org Remembers the language you use, so that archeobase.org opens in it next time. 1 year
.AspNetCore.Antiforgery.… Cookie, archeobase.org Protects the contact form against forged submissions. Set only when you open the “Book a demo” page. Until you close the browser
.AspNetCore.Mvc.CookieTempDataProvider Cookie, archeobase.org Shows “your message has been sent” once, after you send the contact form, or the thank-you once, after you subscribe to the newsletter. Deleted as soon as the message is shown
tutorial_progress Local storage, archeobase.org Remembers which training videos you have watched, to show your progress. It stays in your browser and is never sent to us. Until you delete it
Video player settings Local storage, iframe.mediadelivery.net (Bunny.net) Settings of the video player, such as the volume, and the point where you stopped a video. Until you delete it

Because they only serve functions you use, they are set without asking for your consent. You can delete them at any time in your browser settings: the website keeps working, but forgets your language and your video progress.

Links to social networks

The Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube icons are simple links: no data is sent to these networks unless you click them. Their own privacy policies then apply.

Data outside Switzerland

Bunny.net and Amazon Web Services can process data on servers outside Switzerland: in the European Union and, through their worldwide networks, in other countries. Switzerland recognizes the European Union and the EEA as providing adequate protection. For other countries, the transfer relies on the standard contractual clauses recognized by the Swiss and European authorities or, for companies certified in the United States, on the Data Privacy Framework.

Your rights

You can ask us what data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to its processing or have it restricted, and receive it in a common format. Write to support@archeobase.org: we answer within 30 days.

You can also lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, in the European Union, with the data protection authority of your country.

Changes

We update this policy when the website changes. The version published on this page is the one that applies.
