Who We Are

Swiss Circle (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a Switzerland-based cryptocurrency trading community, reachable at swisscircle09@gmail.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and your rights under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (nDSG) and, where applicable, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

If you choose to receive the SC Trading Guide by email, we collect your email address solely to deliver the guide and, with your explicit consent, to send occasional updates about Swiss Circle.

Membership via Subscord
If you subscribe using cryptocurrency, your wallet address and email are collected by Subscord to process payment and assign your Discord role. Their own privacy policy applies.

Fonts used on this website are loaded from locally hosted files — no requests are made to external font services that could track your visit.

Under Swiss nDSG, analytics cookies used solely for measuring website performance may be set without a consent banner provided data is anonymised and not used for advertising. We have configured GA4 with IP anonymisation enabled. EU visitors retain the right to object to this processing — contact us at swisscircle09@gmail.com to do so.
