Cookies that are necessary for the basic operation of the Website do not require consent and cannot be disabled without affecting functionality.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how our Website is used. Google Analytics sets cookies and processes technical data, including a shortened IP address, in order to produce aggregated statistics on Website usage. This data may be processed in countries outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area, including the United States.

8. Third-Party Content (Web Fonts and Icons)

Our Website uses web fonts provided by Google Fonts to ensure a consistent visual presentation. When you visit our Website, your browser connects to servers operated by Google in order to load these fonts. In doing so, your IP address is transmitted to Google.

9. International Data Transfers

Savfin AG is based in Switzerland. Our Website is hosted by a professional hosting provider located in Germany, a country recognized by the Swiss Federal Council as providing an adequate level of data protection.

  • Transfer to countries recognized by the Swiss Federal Council as having adequate data protection (Annex 1 of the Data Protection Ordinance)
  • Standard contractual clauses approved by the FDPIC or the European Commission
  • Other appropriate safeguards as permitted under Articles 16-17 FADP

Please note that the nature of international aviation may require the transfer of specific enquiry details to operators or partners outside Switzerland or the EEA. In such cases, we apply the safeguards described above.

10. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law.
