1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Alex Mansour, Zürich, Switzerland

Email: sunne@alexmansour.ch

2. Processing of Personal Data

Locally in your browser (Local Storage): No cookies, tracking, or advertising services are used. Theme, language, the location opt-in, the last rounded position, and the sky-panel state are stored exclusively in your browser’s Local Storage. The access key for the hidden section is used only in the browser and is never transmitted. If location stays off, the sky is simulated on your device from date, time and season — using Zürich as a stand-in — and nothing is sent.

Server processing (Zürich): Opening a page sends a request to the server in Zürich. Your IP address, the requested path, the time, and the user-agent are processed temporarily in server log files to prevent abuse and ensure infrastructure security. This data is never used to identify you and is not linked to Local Storage preferences. There are no accounts.

3. Third-Party Services and International Data Transfer

Open-Meteo: If you turn location on, coordinates rounded to about 200 metres are sent straight from your browser to Open-Meteo (OpenMeteo GmbH, Bürglen UR, Switzerland) so the sky can match the weather above you. This server never sees the position. Open-Meteo may keep IP addresses and the requested coordinates in logs for up to 90 days. Their terms and privacy notice apply.

4. Data Retention and Erasure

You can clear data stored in your browser’s Local Storage at any time via your browser settings. Turning location off deletes the stored opt-in and rounded position. Server log files are kept only as long as needed to prevent abuse and run the site.

5. Your Rights

Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), you have the following rights:

  • Right of access (Art. 25 FADP)
  • Right to rectification or deletion (Art. 32 FADP)
  • Right to data portability (Art. 28 FADP)

To exercise these rights, write to sunne@alexmansour.ch. Preferences live on your device; the weather call is between you and Open-Meteo. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) (edoeb.admin.ch).
