The principle
This site has no accounts, no sign-up, no contact form and no payments. You need to state nothing to use it in full. Of its own accord the site collects no personal data.
What stays in the browser
Your selection - profile, features sought, budget, view, sort order - along with language and colour scheme are stored in your browser’s local storage (localStorage, keys "bv-state", "bv-theme", "bv-lang", "bv-nicht-zaehlen"). These values stay on your device and are not transmitted to us. "Reset" clears them, as does clearing your browser data.
No cookies, no third-party services
The site sets no cookies. No fonts, maps, videos or scripts are loaded from third-party servers - the site loads its own files only. No third party’s analytics service is embedded: counting happens on our own server, see the next section. No data therefore leaks to third parties in the background.
Access counting on our own server
So that we know which pages are read and which sites readers come from, every page reports its own request to an address on this domain (/api/z). What is sent: the path of the page - without the selection in your address bar -, the referring site if it comes from outside, and the host name of a vendor site you clicked. Time and browser identification come from the request itself. Your IP address is not stored: on our server it is turned into a checksum of IP address, browser identification and the day, salted with a secret value, and then dropped. The checksum cannot be reversed, and beyond that day nobody is recognisable. No cookie is set, no counting pixel is loaded, and no third party reads along. The resulting daily files are held in a storage account in the Azure Switzerland North region. If you would rather not be counted, call this page once with "?nicht-zaehlen=1"; the wish is stored in this browser’s local storage and is revoked with "?nicht-zaehlen=0".
The state is in the link
Your selection is also written into the address bar so that you can share a comparison. Anyone passing on such a link passes on the selection it contains. No link to a person arises from this.
Links to vendor sites
The tables link to the sites of the vendors compared. As soon as you follow such a link, the privacy policy of that vendor applies. We have no influence over its content.
Getting in touch
If you write to us by email, we process what you tell us solely in order to reply. We do not pass it on and keep it only as long as needed for that purpose and for any statutory periods.
Your rights
Under the Swiss Data Protection Act and, where applicable, the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability. A note to the address below is enough.
Security and changes
The site is delivered over an encrypted connection only (HTTPS). This policy may be adapted as the site changes; the version published here is authoritative.
Server logs at the host
When the site is requested, technically necessary log data arises at the host - IP address, time, address requested, browser and system details. It serves operation and security and is not combined with other data.
