Privacy Policy

Swiss Whale Intelligence ("we", "us") respects your privacy. This policy describes what data we collect, why, and how you exercise your rights under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP / revDSG 2023) and, where applicable, the EU GDPR.

1. Controller

See Imprint for the legal operator. Privacy questions: contact@swisswhaleintelligence.com.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Automatically collected (server logs)

Purpose: security, debugging, abuse prevention. Retention: 30 days.

2.2 Telegram login (Dashboard)

When you log into swisswhaleintelligence.com/dashboard via Telegram, we receive from Telegram: Telegram ID, username (optional), first name, authentication timestamp. We store this in our premium_users table for subscription tracking. We do not receive your phone number, messages, or contact list.

2.3 Payment data (Stripe)

Payments are processed by Stripe Inc., 354 Oyster Point Blvd, South San Francisco, CA, USA. Stripe is the data controller for card details. We receive from Stripe: subscription status, start/end dates, billing email. Card numbers never touch our servers.

Stripe Privacy: stripe.com/privacy

2.4 Email (Telegram push)

If you opt into premium alerts via Telegram, your Telegram ID is used to send you whale alerts. You can disable this anytime with /stop in the bot.

3. Cookies & Local Storage — Granular Categories

Since 2026-04-29 we use a granular 4-category consent banner (DSGVO/revDSG-compliant). You can change your choice anytime via the Cookie settings link in the footer. All categories except "Necessary" are denied by default (Consent Mode v2 baseline).

3.1 Necessary (always on, no opt-out)

3.2 Analytics (opt-in)

Granted via analytics_storage = granted in the GA4 Consent Mode signal.

3.3 Marketing (opt-in, currently no active campaigns)

Reserved for future conversion-tracking pixels (e.g. Meta, LinkedIn, Reddit ads). No marketing cookies are currently set — this category is a placeholder so consent is collected in advance of any campaign launch. Granted via ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization in the GA4 Consent Mode signal.

3.4 Personalization (opt-in)

All stored in browser localStorage only. No server-side persistence unless you're a logged-in Premium user with custom tickers (then synced via authenticated POST).

4. Third Parties

Data is processed by the following service providers (all bound by DPA / SCC):

5. International Transfers

Some processors are located outside Switzerland/EEA. Transfers rely on: (a) EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC), (b) UK International Data Transfer Agreement, (c) for USA: EU–US Data Privacy Framework where applicable.

7. Your Rights

To exercise any right: email contact@swisswhaleintelligence.com. We respond within 30 days.

8. On-Chain Data

All Bitcoin and Ethereum addresses, transactions, and clusters we display are derived from the public blockchain — not personal data in the legal sense. We do not attempt to link on-chain addresses to real-world identities beyond public entity labels (exchanges, known DeFi protocols). If you believe an address we label is incorrectly attributed to you, contact us.

9. Changes to this Policy

We may update this policy as services evolve. The current version is always accessible at swisswhaleintelligence.com/privacy. Major changes will be announced on the dashboard.
