Legal and privacy

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information is processed when you browse the directory or contact us, why it is used, and the choices available to you.

Effective date: 29 July 2026

Who is responsible

Content Marketing Services, operated from Switzerland, is responsible for the data processing described in this policy.

Privacy questions and requests can be sent to [email protected].

Website operation and server logs

When you visit the website, the systems that deliver it may process technical connection information such as your IP address, browser and device information, requested page, referring page, and the date and time of the request.

This information is used to deliver the website, maintain its security, diagnose errors and prevent abuse. It is not used by us to build advertising profiles. We do not sell or rent personal information.

Agency directory information

Agency profiles are compiled from agency websites and other public business sources. Most profile information concerns organisations. A profile may also contain professionally relevant information about an identifiable person where that information has been made public in connection with the agency.

We use this information to operate and maintain the directory, make agency details comparable, and respond to correction or removal requests. Agencies and affected individuals can contact us to request access, correction or removal.

Contact enquiries

If you use the agency contact form or email us, we process the email address, message and any other information you choose to provide. We use it to understand and respond to your enquiry, manage listing corrections or removal requests, and protect the form from misuse.

The contact form is provided by Deftform. Form submissions are transmitted to and stored by Deftform on our behalf. Please do not include sensitive personal information that is not needed for your request.

Service providers

We use service providers only where they help operate a specific part of the website:

  • Deftform provides the agency contact form and processes the information submitted through it. Deftform is a service of ivy.mayhem GmbH in Germany. See the Deftform privacy policy.
  • Mapbox provides interactive maps. When a map loads, your browser connects to Mapbox and transmits technical request information, including an IP address, browser information, map requests and interaction or session data. See the Mapbox privacy policy.
  • Supabase provides database infrastructure for public agency information. Directory queries are made by our server rather than through a Supabase account in your browser. See the Supabase privacy policy.

Cookies, local storage and analytics

We do not currently use Google Analytics, advertising trackers or marketing cookies. We do not use website activity to serve personalised advertising.

The website and its service providers may use technically necessary browser storage, caching or similar mechanisms to deliver the requested page, map or form and to protect those features from abuse. You can clear or restrict browser storage through your browser settings, although doing so may affect those features.

International data transfers

The website is operated from Switzerland and serves an international audience. Service providers may process information in Switzerland, the European Economic Area, the United States or other countries in which they or their subprocessors operate.

Where required, transfers are handled using recognised legal safeguards or another lawful transfer mechanism described by the relevant provider.

How long information is kept

Technical logs are retained only for as long as needed for delivery, security and troubleshooting, subject to the retention settings of the hosting provider.

Contact enquiries are kept while we handle the request and for as long as reasonably needed to document the response, prevent repeated abuse or meet legal obligations. Directory source records may be retained while a profile remains published so that we can substantiate and review the information shown.

Your choices and rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask whether we process personal information about you and request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or portability where applicable.

Send requests to [email protected]. We may need enough information to verify your identity and identify the relevant record. You may also contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.

We may update this policy when the website or its data practices change. The effective date at the top identifies the latest version.
