Privacy and cookie policy
This policy explains what personal data we process when you visit www.gvisuel.ch or write to us, why, for how long, and what your rights are. It is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, for visitors from the European Union, on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. Data controller
GVisuel Sàrl, Rue du Simplon 34, 1920 Martigny, Switzerland
For any questions about your data or to exercise your rights: info@gvisuel.ch.
2. Contact form
- Data: first and last name, email address, phone number (optional), your message and the page from which it was sent.
- Purpose: to answer your enquiry, prepare a quote and follow up on our exchanges.
- Legal basis: processing is necessary to answer your enquiry and to prepare a possible contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR); our legitimate interest in replying to people who contact us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). In Switzerland, processing complies with the principles of the FADP (Art. 6).
- Retention period: 2 years from the date of sending; messages are then automatically deleted from our system. Where an exchange leads to an assignment, the relevant documents are kept in accordance with our legal obligations (for example 10 years for accounting records, Art. 958f of the Swiss Code of Obligations).
- Recipients: the GVisuel team only. The website and email are hosted by Infomaniak Network SA in Geneva, on servers located in Switzerland. Your data are neither sold nor passed on for advertising purposes.
- Protection against abuse: to limit automated submissions, an encrypted fingerprint of your IP address (never the address itself) is kept for 24 hours.
3. Technical logs
Like any hosting provider, Infomaniak records technical logs (IP address, date and time, page requested, browser) that are necessary for the security and proper operation of the website. They are kept for a limited period and are not used to identify you.
4. Statistics, marketing and external content
The services below are only used if they are enabled on the website. Those that set cookies or transmit data to third parties are only loaded after you have given your consent in the “Your cookie choices” banner; refusing has no effect on your use of the website.
No third-party services (statistics, advertising, external content) are currently used on this website.
5. Cookies and local storage
A cookie is a small file stored by your browser. The table below lists the cookies and storage used on this website, with their maximum duration. You are asked for your choice on your first visit, then again after six months or when the list of services changes.

6. Transfers abroad
When you accept services from Google or Meta, data (in particular your IP address and information about your browser) may be transferred to these companies in the European Union and the United States. Transfers to the United States are based on the Data Privacy Framework (Swiss–US and EU–US), under which these companies are certified, or on standard contractual clauses. These providers then process part of the data under their own responsibility; their privacy policies are listed above.
7. Your rights
You may at any time:
- access your data and obtain a copy;
- request their rectification if they are inaccurate;
- request their erasure;
- object to processing or request its restriction;
- receive your data in a commonly used format (portability);
- withdraw your consent to cookies, without affecting processing already carried out.
Write to us at info@gvisuel.ch: we will reply within 30 days. If you believe your rights have not been respected, you may contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, www.edoeb.admin.ch, or, if you live in the European Union, the data protection authority of your country.
8. Security
The website is served exclusively over HTTPS. Messages are stored on servers in Switzerland, and access to the administration area is protected by a password and two-factor authentication.
