2. Overview of Data Processing

When you visit this website, certain personal data may be processed. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, why, how we use it, and what rights you have.

Categories of personal data processed

• Technical access data: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, pages visited, date and time of access, request metadata
• Analytics data: pseudonymised usage data collected via cookies (where consent is given)
• Contact enquiry data: name, email address, and any other information you provide through the contact form
• Consent preferences: your cookie consent choice, stored locally in your browser

3. Purposes of Processing

We process personal data for the following purposes:

• Website operation and security: Ensuring the website is delivered reliably and securely, protecting against attacks and misuse
• Enquiry handling: Responding to messages submitted through the contact form
• Analytics: Understanding how the website is used in order to improve content and functionality (with your consent)
• Legal compliance: Fulfilling legal obligations, including commercial record-keeping under Swiss law

4. Hosting and Content Delivery — Cloudflare

This website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages and delivered via Cloudflare's content delivery network (CDN). Cloudflare Inc. is a US-based company that operates infrastructure in multiple countries, including Europe.

When you visit this website, your browser connects to Cloudflare's servers. In this process, your IP address and technical request metadata (such as browser type, requested URL, and access time) are processed by Cloudflare. This processing is necessary for the delivery of the website and for security purposes (e.g. DDoS protection).

Cloudflare may temporarily log access data for security purposes. These logs are typically retained for up to 72 hours.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest in secure and reliable website operation.

5. Contact Form — FormSubmit.co

If you contact us through the form on this website, the data you enter (typically your name, email address, and message) is transmitted via FormSubmit.co and forwarded to our email address (drones@thespaceops.com).

FormSubmit.co acts as a transient processing service — it forwards form submissions and does not permanently store your data. Processing may occur on servers located in the United States.

We use the data you submit solely to respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, to establish a business relationship. Contact enquiry data is retained as long as necessary for the purpose of the enquiry and the resulting business relationship, subject to Swiss commercial record-keeping obligations (up to 10 years per Art. 958f of the Swiss Code of Obligations).

Legal basis: Processing is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at your request, and for compliance with legal obligations.

6. Analytics — Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (property ID: G-XRP5N0PJYT), a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), with Google LLC (USA) as a subprocessor.

Google Analytics uses cookies to analyse your use of the website. The following cookies may be set:

• _ga — Distinguishes unique visitors. Retention: up to 2 years.
• _ga_* — Maintains session state. Retention: up to 2 years.

Consent: Google Analytics is activated only after you give your consent through our cookie consent mechanism. If you do not consent, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is collected.

Analytics data is retained for the GA4 default period of 14 months. After this period, data is anonymised or aggregated and is no longer attributable to individual users.

Opt-out: You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings on this website. You can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

7. Consent Cookie

We use a consent preference stored in your browser's localStorage under the key tsd_consent. This stores your cookie consent choice so that it is remembered on subsequent visits. This data remains in your browser only and is not transmitted to any server. You can clear it at any time via your browser settings.
