Health insurance calculator requests

To see your results in the health insurance calculator, you need to accept this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use; leaving your contact details is optional. The postcode, year of birth and cover options you enter to calculate premiums are only used to compute your results and are not stored. If you leave your contact details with your results, or request a quote, we process the details you enter: your name, email address, phone number (if provided), postcode and location, year of birth, the people you want to insure, your current insurer (if provided), the supplementary cover you are interested in and, for a quote request, the offer you selected (insurer, model, deductible, accident cover and monthly premium). We use these details to handle your request and, as described in Section 6, may forward them to a licensed insurance intermediary or advisor from our partner network, who prepares a personal offer and contacts you. The legal basis is your consent, which you give by ticking the consent box (see Section 4); you can withdraw it at any time. We only send you marketing emails if you also tick the separate, optional marketing box, which is never pre-ticked.

Under the Swiss nDSG and, where applicable, the GDPR, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

Consent (nDSG Art. 6 para. 6 / GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)): where you voluntarily submit information, subscribe to communications, accept optional processing, or expressly request to be contacted or referred.

Pre-contractual measures and contract performance (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)): where processing is necessary to respond to your request, prepare an offer, coordinate a service, or perform obligations arising from a relationship with you.

Legitimate interest (nDSG Art. 6 para. 1 / GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)): where we have a legitimate interest in operating and improving the Website and our business, organizing referrals and collaborations, communicating with users and collaborators, preventing abuse, marketing our services, and protecting our legal and commercial interests, provided that no overriding interests or rights require otherwise.

Legal obligation (GDPR Art. 6(1)(c)): Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We use third-party services to operate the Website and support our business. These providers may process data on our behalf or, where appropriate, as independent controllers for their own service delivery. Our current key service providers include:

Cloudflare, Inc. (USA): Hosting and delivery of the Website (Cloudflare Workers and content delivery network), spam and bot protection for our forms (Cloudflare Turnstile), and privacy-friendly web analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics). Turnstile processes technical information such as your IP address and browser characteristics only to check that a form is submitted by a human. Cloudflare Web Analytics is active on the Website: it does not use cookies or similar identifiers, does not track you across websites, and only gives us aggregated statistics such as page views, referring websites and countries. Cloudflare processes data under its Data Processing Addendum and is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

Resend, Inc. (USA): Email delivery and contact management. Resend sends our emails (for example replies, confirmations and, if you have signed up, our newsletter) and stores our contact list. Depending on how you contacted us, this includes your name, email address, phone number (if provided), postcode and location, the details of a health insurance comparison or quote request, your language and your marketing preference. You only receive newsletters and waitlist updates if you sign up for them (opt-in), and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email or by contacting us. Privacy policy: https://resend.com/legal/privacy-policy

Google LLC (USA): With your consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors use the Website. Google Analytics is only loaded after you have given your explicit consent in our cookie banner; until then, no Google Analytics cookies are set and no data is sent to Google. Once enabled, Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as the pages visited, time spent on pages, traffic sources, approximate location (at a regional level) and device and browser type. IP addresses are anonymised (Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses), and we use Google Consent Mode so that Google’s tags respect your choice. The data is processed in aggregated or pseudonymised form and used only to understand how the Website performs and to improve our content. Google may process this data on servers outside Switzerland and the EEA; Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of every page, after which Google Analytics is no longer loaded. Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We may engage additional service providers from time to time to support our operations, including CRM systems, communication tools, analytics and advertising tools, automation platforms, scheduling systems, document and storage providers, payment or invoicing services, compliance providers, professional advisers, and similar infrastructure or business support vendors. Where required, we put in place appropriate contractual, technical, or organisational safeguards.

We may also receive or share information within our network of collaborators where this is relevant to handling a request, identifying a suitable provider, managing a case, measuring performance, preventing abuse, or otherwise operating our services in a lawful manner.

6. Sharing Data with Third Parties

We may share your personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:

Collaborators, Partners, and licensed service providers: When you contact us, request information, ask to be connected, request a quote, consultation, callback, service coordination, or otherwise engage with an offer presented through the Website, we may share relevant personal data with one or more collaborators, Partners, subcontractors, referrers, and licensed or otherwise qualified third parties that can evaluate, prepare, offer, arrange, or perform the requested or related activity. Depending on the case, this may include insurance brokers, relocation consultants, moving companies or workers, housing or mortgage contacts, telecom or utility providers, administrative support providers, and similar collaborators.

Operational and technology providers: We share data with service providers, software vendors, hosting providers, communication platforms, advisers, and other support providers to the extent reasonably necessary to operate the Website and our business.

Business transfers and organisational changes: We may disclose or transfer data in connection with a merger, acquisition, asset sale, financing, reorganisation, succession, or similar transaction involving all or part of our business.

Legal requirements: We may disclose your data if required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of KantonLand, our users, or the public.

Once your data is shared with a third party acting as an independent controller, that party may process your data under its own privacy policy, legal terms, and professional or regulatory obligations. We encourage you to review the policies of relevant third parties.

7. International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers, collaborators, and Partners may be based outside of Switzerland or the EEA, or may access data from abroad. When personal data is transferred to a country that does not provide an adequate level of data protection as recognised by the FDPIC or the European Commission, we seek to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.

The EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework, where applicable.

Other contractual or organisational safeguards as required by applicable data protection law.

The Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) maintains a list of countries providing adequate data protection. You may request information about the safeguards in place for specific transfers by contacting us.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to manage relationships, coordinate services, document referrals, maintain business records, resolve disputes, comply with legal or regulatory obligations, and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of data, the nature of the interaction, legal requirements, limitation periods, contractual needs, and whether an ongoing or renewed relationship exists with you, a collaborator, or a Partner.

Where data is no longer required, we will delete, anonymise, or archive it in accordance with our legal and operational requirements.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We only use cookies and similar technologies where they are needed, and non-essential ones only with your consent.

Strictly necessary technologies: Cloudflare processes technical data to deliver the Website securely, and Cloudflare Turnstile processes technical signals to protect our forms against spam and abuse. We also store your cookie choice in your browser’s local storage so that we do not ask you again on every page. These technologies are required to operate the Website and do not require consent.

Cookieless statistics: Cloudflare Web Analytics measures page views and similar aggregated statistics without cookies and without identifying individual visitors.

Analytics cookies (only with your consent): Google Analytics is only loaded if you click “Accept” in our cookie banner. If you decline or make no choice, Google Analytics is not loaded and no Google Analytics cookies are set. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer. For details on each provider, see Section 5 (Third-Party Service Providers) above.

11. Right to Lodge a Complaint

Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC), Feldeggweg 1, 3003 Bern, Switzerland — https://www.edoeb.admin.ch/

If you are located in the EU/EEA, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

12. Children
