How we handle your data and what you can expect when using our website.
Website Operator
This website is operated by FOOD FOUNDERS Studio, Zeughaustrasse 31, 8004 Zürich, Switzerland. For any questions, contact us at info@foodfounders.studio.
Privacy Policy
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we handle it, in line with the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
What we collect
We collect personal data you provide directly — such as your name, email address, role, and any message or proposal you submit through our contact form, newsletter signup, or innovation challenge application. We also collect limited technical data automatically, such as your IP address and browser type, when you visit our website.
Why we collect it
We use your data to respond to your inquiries, evaluate technology submissions, send you our newsletter (only if you have explicitly subscribed and confirmed), and maintain and improve our website. We process your data on the basis of your consent, our legitimate interests, or to take steps at your request before entering into an agreement.
Newsletter and email
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we ask you to confirm your subscription via email (double opt-in). We store your email address and any details you provide using Resend, our email service provider. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time. We will stop sending you emails as soon as you unsubscribe.
How we store and share your data
Your data is stored securely using our website platform (base44) and our email provider (Resend). We do not sell your personal data. We only share it with service providers who help us operate our website and communications, and only to the extent necessary. Some of these providers may process data outside Switzerland or the EU; where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards.
How long we keep it
We keep your personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, or as required by law. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email us at info@foodfounders.studio.
Cookies
Our website uses only essential cookies required for the site to function. If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will update this page and request your consent where required.
