Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains how Stratos Technologies AG ("we", "us") processes personal data when you visit our website https://stratos-tech.ch or contact us through it. It is based on the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Our software products, such as Fleet Access and Garage Booster, have their own privacy policies.

2. What data we process and why
2.1 Visiting our website
When you visit our website, our hosting provider and our content delivery network automatically process technical data that your browser sends: IP address, date and time of access, pages requested, referring website, browser type and version, operating system and device type.
We need this data to deliver the website, keep it secure and stable (for example to detect and block attacks) and fix errors. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our providers keep this data in server logs for a short period only, and we do not combine it with other data.
2.2 Contact forms
If you use one of our contact forms, we process your name, email address and message to answer your enquiry and, where relevant, to prepare an offer. Providing this data is voluntary, but we cannot reply without an email address.
The legal basis is the taking of steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) or our legitimate interest in answering enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Form submissions are processed by Framer and forwarded to us by email to contact@stratos-tech.ch.
We delete enquiries once they have been dealt with, unless they lead to a business relationship or we are legally required to keep them longer.
2.3 Website analytics
To understand how our website is used and to improve it, we use the following services:
Google Analytics 4, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies (see section 3) to recognise returning browsers and records information such as the pages visited, time spent on the site, approximate location (country and city), device and browser type and the referring website. Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the USA (see section 5). Event-level and user-level data are deleted after 2 months. Only aggregated reports are kept beyond that.
We only activate Google Analytics after you have consented via our cookie banner (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via "Cookie settings" at the bottom of our website. You can also install Google's browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics. For more information, see Google's privacy policy.
Framer Analytics, provided by Framer B.V., Netherlands, as part of our website hosting. Framer Analytics records page views and similar usage statistics in aggregated form and does not use cookies. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding how our website is used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
2.4 Links to other websites and social networks
Our website links to external websites, such as our LinkedIn page and the websites of our products. We do not use social media plugins: no data is sent to these providers until you click a link. Once you are on their website, their own privacy policies apply.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. We use the following cookies:
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
stratos_consent |
Stratos Technologies AG | Stores your cookie choices | 12 months | Necessary |

Necessary cookies are required to remember your cookie choices and to keep the website secure. Cloudflare sets its cookies only when needed, for example after a security check. Necessary cookies are based on our legitimate interest in a secure, functioning website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and do not require consent. Analytics cookies are set only after you have consented.
You can change your choice at any time via "Cookie settings" at the bottom of our website. You can also view, delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block necessary cookies, parts of the website may not work.
4. Service providers and other recipients
We use carefully selected service providers who process personal data on our behalf and are contractually bound to protect it:
- Framer B.V., Netherlands: website hosting, contact forms and Framer Analytics
- Cloudflare, Inc., USA: content delivery network, security and performance
- Google Ireland Limited, Ireland: web analytics (Google Analytics)
We may also disclose personal data to authorities, courts or our professional advisers where we are legally required to or where it is necessary to protect our rights. We do not sell personal data.
5. Transfers abroad
Some of our service providers process personal data outside Switzerland and the EU/EEA, in particular in the USA (Google LLC, Cloudflare, Inc.). Cloudflare operates a global network, so data may be processed in the data centre closest to you.
For transfers to countries without an adequate level of data protection, we rely on the EU–U.S. and Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Framework where the recipient is certified under it, or on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, which are also recognised in Switzerland.
6. How long we keep data
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as we are legally required to keep it. After that, we delete or anonymise it. The retention periods for specific processing activities are described in section 2.
7. Data security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. Our website is transmitted only over an encrypted connection (HTTPS).
8. Your rights
Under the FADP and, where applicable, the GDPR, you have the right to:
- request access to the personal data we hold about you;
- have incorrect data corrected;
- have your data deleted;
- restrict or object to the processing of your data, in particular processing based on our legitimate interests;
- receive the data you have provided to us in a commonly used electronic format;
- withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
To exercise your rights, contact us at info@stratos-tech.ch or by post at the address in section 1. We may ask you to prove your identity. We will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. In Switzerland, this is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC, www.edoeb.admin.ch). In the EU/EEA, you can contact the supervisory authority in your country of residence.
9. Automated decision-making
We do not use automated individual decision-making or profiling that has legal or similarly significant effects on you.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy when our website or the law changes. The version published on this page applies. The date of the last update is shown at the top.
