Privacy policy

Last updated: 8 November 2026

This policy describes the processing of personal data in connection with this website under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the Swiss Data Protection Ordinance.

1. Controller

Owner and controller for the processing described here: Romano Bianchi. Managing director: Sibylla Bianchi. For privacy enquiries, contact info@bianchis-bistro.ch or write to the postal address above.

2. Visiting the website

When you access this website, technically necessary data is transmitted to the hosting and infrastructure providers. This may include your IP address, date and time, requested page or file, referring URL, browser, operating system, and status and error information. This processing enables delivery, stability and security of the website and detection of abuse and technical problems.

3. Hosting and platform

The public website is planned to be hosted with hosting-swiss.ch. When a page is requested, the hosting provider and its infrastructure providers process the technical access data needed for delivery, stability and security. The specific subcontractors, processing locations and retention periods depend on the agreed hosting terms. You can request information using our contact details above.

4. Locally hosted fonts

We use DM Sans and Playfair Display. The font files are stored on this website and loaded from the same hosting infrastructure. Loading the page therefore does not trigger a Google Fonts request. The technical access data is the same as for other website files.

5. Google Maps and external links

Directions are provided through an external Google Maps link, not an embedded map. You access Google’s service only when you open the link. Google then processes data under its own privacy terms. This website does not request location access. Any location permission is your choice within Google’s service. Other linked services are also subject to their providers’ privacy information.

6. Email enquiries

If you email us, we process your sender address, your name if supplied, the message and any attachments to respond to your enquiry and handle related correspondence. Transmission and processing also involve the relevant email service providers. Please do not send sensitive personal data unless it is necessary for your enquiry.

7. Cookies, analytics and automated decisions

Our website code does not include analytics or advertising trackers, newsletters, contact forms, user accounts or payment functions. We do not set our own tracking cookies or use local storage in that code. The hosting platform may use technically necessary cookies or comparable technologies; its own processing is described in the respective providers’ privacy information. We do not carry out profiling or automated individual decisions through this website.

For the opening announcement, session storage records only whether the popup has already been shown during your current browser session. The key “bianchi-opening-april-2027” contains only the value “shown”, no personal identifier, and is not used for analytics or advertising. This session preference is not transmitted to us and is removed by the browser when the session ends.

8. Recipients and processing abroad

Recipients may include the hosting, infrastructure and communication providers used, and competent authorities where disclosure is legally required. Whether and in which countries data is processed abroad depends on the services actually used and their subcontractors. Transfers to countries without adequate data protection require the safeguards or exceptions specified by the FADP. You can ask us for information about the specific providers, processing countries and contractual safeguards.

9. Retention and security

We retain correspondence for as long as necessary to handle your enquiry, meet statutory retention duties or protect legitimate legal claims. Technical logs and platform data are subject to the relevant provider’s retention periods; our website code does not configure a separate fixed log retention period. We use an encrypted HTTPS connection. Electronic communication cannot be fully protected against unauthorised access.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable Swiss data protection law, you may in particular request information about the processing of your personal data and correction of inaccurate data. Where the legal conditions are met, you may request deletion or destruction, cessation of processing, or release or transfer of certain data. You may withdraw consent with effect for the future. Statutory exceptions apply. Contact info@bianchis-bistro.ch to exercise your rights. We may request appropriate proof of identity to prevent unauthorised disclosure.

You may also contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) ↗.

11. Changes

We update this policy when the website or the processing described changes. The version published on this page applies.
