Privacy Policy
1. Who is responsible
The controller of personal data collected through aivigilia.com is Gregorio von Hildebrand, a Swiss citizen, who operates Vigilia until it is incorporated as a Swiss association. Write to gregorio.vonhildebrand@aivigilia.com about anything in this policy.
2. What the site holds about you
Nothing, if you only read. The site has no accounts, no sign-in and no mailing list.
Visit counts. To count visits, the site keeps a random visitor number in your browser’s local storage (not a cookie) and records the page, the language, the referring site and any campaign tag in the link. No name, email address or IP address is stored with it.
Page and click analytics. PostHog, an analytics service, records which pages are read, how far, and what is clicked, without cookies or browser storage. A visitor is recognised for one day only, by a hash PostHog computes from the connection, and no IP address is kept. Your screen is never recorded.
The join form. When you use the join form we store what you enter (your name, email address, organisation and role if given, the boxes you tick, the amount range you choose, your message and the language you wrote in) with the time of consent. A copy is emailed to the accountable person and to Vigilia’s own mailbox, both read by a person. We use it to reply to you, and we list your organisation as a partner only after a written agreement with you.
The free self-check. A description you type is sent to Anthropic’s API to produce the result and is not stored by us. A web address you submit for observation is queued for the observer; it names an organisation’s public page, not you.
Email. If you write to us, we keep the correspondence in order to answer it.
Hosting logs. Our host, Vercel, processes IP addresses in its request logs to deliver and protect the site.
3. Why, and on what basis
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, we rely on:
- Consent for what you send through the join form, which you can withdraw at any time
- Legitimate interest for visit counts, for keeping the site secure and for answering email you send us
We never sell personal data, never use it for advertising and never use it to train AI models.
4. Who processes it for us
These providers process data on our behalf:
- Vercel: hosting
- Supabase: the database that stores join-form submissions and visit counts
- Anthropic: the AI model behind the self-check and behind Vigilia’s own writing
- Resend: delivery of join-form notifications to our inbox
- Zoho: our mailbox
- PostHog: page and click analytics, in the European Union
5. Where it is stored
On these providers’ infrastructure in the European Union or the United States, with Standard Contractual Clauses where they apply. Connections to the site are encrypted, and access to the database is restricted.
6. How long we keep it
Join-form submissions and email are kept until you ask us to delete them. Visit counts carry nothing that identifies you.
7. Cookies
Only functional ones: one remembers the language you chose, and short-lived counters limit how often the forms and the self-check can be used from one browser. There are no tracking or advertising cookies, so there is no banner.
8. Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete what we hold about you, object to its use, or withdraw consent, by writing to gregorio.vonhildebrand@aivigilia.com. We answer within 30 days. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner or to the data protection authority where you live.
9. Changes
When this policy changes, the date at the top of this page changes with it.
