Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

Wohniq is currently being built. This privacy policy describes how we handle your data during the current beta phase, and gives an outlook on how we will handle your data after Wohniq launches.

1. Data Controller

The controller responsible for processing your personal data under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

Digital Front GmbH
Bern, Switzerland
UID: CHE-115.048.513
Commercial register (Zefix)
UID register
Email: wohniq@digital-front.ch


2. Website Provision — Log Files

When you visit our website, technical information is automatically collected and stored in server log files by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and our content delivery network (CloudFront). This includes:

  • Type and version of your web browser
  • Operating system
  • IP address (anonymised)
  • Date and time of access
  • URL accessed
  • Referrer URL (page you came from)
  • Amount of data transferred

This data is used solely to ensure technical operation, diagnose errors, and detect misuse. It is not combined with other personal data. Log files are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest in providing a technically sound and secure website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, Art. 31 FADP).


3. Current Phase: Beta

3.1 Data we collect

When you sign up for the beta, we collect only:

  • Email address — to notify you when Wohniq is ready

We collect no further data. No address, no name, no payment information.

3.2 Purpose of processing

Your email address is used solely to notify you when Wohniq launches and to give you the opportunity to use the service. We do not send advertising to third parties and do not share your data.

3.3 Legal basis

Processing your email address is based on your voluntary consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Art. 31 FADP), given by signing up for the beta. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

3.4 No Double Opt-in

We currently do not use a double opt-in procedure. Your consent is given by entering your email address. You may unsubscribe at any time without giving a reason.

3.5 Email service provider for the beta

Your email address is stored with Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, Paris, France). Brevo is GDPR-certified and processes data on EU servers. Brevo is used during the beta phase to manage sign-ups. After Wohniq launches, Brevo will be replaced by the core system and all beta data will be migrated or deleted.

We retain your email address until you unsubscribe or request deletion — at the latest at the time Wohniq launches, at which point you will be separately asked whether you wish to create an account.

3.6 Unsubscribe

You may unsubscribe from the beta at any time by sending us an email. We will delete your email address promptly and confirm the deletion.


4. Future Phase: Wohniq Service

Effective from Wohniq launch

This section describes how we will handle your data once the Wohniq service is available. Details may change before launch — we will update this policy in good time.

4.1 Data minimisation as a core principle

Wohniq follows the principle of data minimisation. We collect and store only the data strictly necessary to provide our service. In practice:

  • We store no rental contracts or other complete documents
  • We extract only the information necessary to assess eligibility from your rental agreement
  • Uploaded documents are immediately and irreversibly deleted after extraction
  • We store only the fields required for calculation and correspondence

4.2 Data we will collect

To provide the Wohniq service, we will collect and store:

  • Contact data: Email address, name (for correspondence with your landlord)
  • Rental data: Current net rent, reference rate in your contract, date of last rent adjustment, notice periods and dates
  • Address data: Address of the rental property and landlord (for the rent reduction letter)
  • Payment data: For annual subscription billing — processed by a certified payment provider, not stored by us

4.3 AI-assisted contract analysis

Wohniq plans to offer an optional feature allowing you to upload your rental contract. An AI will automatically read the fields relevant to eligibility assessment. The document is not permanently stored — it is immediately and irreversibly deleted after processing. Only the extracted fields (rent, reference rate, date) are saved in your account.

4.4 Retention period

We store your data for the duration of your subscription. After cancellation, your data will be deleted within 30 days, unless statutory retention obligations apply.


5. Cookies

Wohniq uses cookies exclusively for website analytics. We do not use advertising, tracking, or social media cookies.

5.1 Cookies we set

CookieProviderPurposeDuration
_gaGoogle AnalyticsDistinguishes individual users using a randomly generated ID2 years
_ga_SBVSB864FHGoogle AnalyticsStores session state for Google Analytics 42 years

5.2 Disabling cookies

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Alternatively, you can disable cookies in your browser settings.

Since we only use analytics cookies and no advertising or tracking cookies, we do not display a cookie banner. We instead inform you transparently in this privacy policy about all cookies used.


6. Website Analytics

Wohniq uses Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to analyse website usage. Data collected includes pages visited, time spent, approximate geographic origin, and device and browser information. IP addresses are anonymised and not permanently stored.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest in improving our website and optimising our offering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, Art. 31 FADP).


7. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers process data outside Switzerland:

  • Brevo (France / EU) — The EU is recognised by Switzerland as a country with an adequate level of data protection. Data transfer is permitted without additional safeguards.
  • Google Ireland Limited (Ireland / EU) — Also an EU country with adequate data protection. Google Analytics processes data under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
  • Amazon Web Services (Zurich, Switzerland) — Hosted exclusively in Switzerland, no international transfer.

All third-party providers are contractually obligated (data processing agreements) to process your data only according to our instructions and applicable data protection law.


8. Hosting and Infrastructure

The Wohniq website and infrastructure is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the Zurich, Switzerland (eu-central-2) region. Your data does not leave Switzerland except as noted in section 7.
