How infohtub.com collects, uses and protects your information.
infohtub ("we", "us", "our") operates the informational website infohtub.com, published from Bern, Switzerland. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information collected through the site. We do not sell any product or service through this website; the site exists to publish a weekly, general-information summary of global markets and economics.
We collect information in two main ways:
We use the information we collect to:
We do not use contact form data for advertising, and we do not sell personal information to third parties.
Where the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (for optional analytics cookies), our legitimate interest in operating and improving an informational website, and, where relevant, compliance with a legal obligation.
We use a limited number of cookies, split between essential cookies required for the site to function and optional analytics cookies that help us understand aggregate usage. Full detail is available in our Cookies Policy, including how to change your preference at any time.
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share limited data with service providers who help us run the website, such as hosting providers or analytics tools, under agreements that require them to protect your data and use it only for the agreed purpose. We may also disclose information where required by law.
Messages sent through the contact form are retained only as long as needed to respond to your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping, after which they are deleted. Aggregate, non-identifying analytics data may be retained longer to track trends over time.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export the personal data we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@infohtub.com. If you are in Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC); if you are in the European Economic Area, you may contact your local data protection authority.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
This website is intended for a general audience interested in economics and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, contact us at info@infohtub.com or by post at infohtub, Bern, Switzerland.
