Official site
Data protection on a website is rarely a one-off project. A privacy policy that was accurate at launch no longer matches reality six months later, because an analytics tool has been added in the meantime, a video has been embedded, or a form now hands data to a new service. This is precisely where PrivacyBee comes in: the Swiss tool generates the cookie banner, privacy policy and legal notice, continuously checks which third-party services are embedded, and updates the texts on its own when something changes.
We are a PrivacyBee Bronce Partner. In practice this means we handle the setup for our clients and manage the websites we look after through a shared partner dashboard. You do not have to deal with configuring the banner, nor with the question of which services need to be declared under which category. We set it up, match the banner to the design of your site, and keep an eye on whether the declaration still reflects what the site actually loads.
Swiss DSG and EU GDPR in one go
For purely Swiss websites, the revised Data Protection Act mainly requires transparency about what data is collected and how it is used. As soon as visitors from the EU are involved, however, or tools such as Google Analytics, YouTube or the Meta pixel are in use, the stricter EU standard with active consent applies in practice. PrivacyBee covers both cases, so that this distinction does not remain an open question for you.
We use it ourselves
The cookie banner on this website runs on PrivacyBee. We do not recommend solutions we are not running ourselves. For you that means: if something goes wrong in combination with a CMS, a shop system or a tag manager, we usually know the case from our own practice and do not have to reproduce it first.
PrivacyBee makes sense wherever a website is actively maintained and marketing tools are in use, which covers corporate sites, landing pages, online shops and campaign microsites. If you would like to know where your existing site stands on this point, we will take a look and tell you what is missing.
Questions and answers about PrivacyBee
These FAQs come from PrivacyBee, which is one of our partners, and we are happy to reproduce them here verbatim.
What is a privacy policy?
A privacy policy is a key element of any website. It provides transparent and clear information about how the website processes data. In today’s digital world, where website visitors’ personal data is processed, it is essential.
Why do you need a privacy policy for your website?
As a website operator, you need a privacy policy to comply with legal requirements and avoid receiving formal warnings.
What is the difference between terms and conditions and a privacy policy?
Privacy policies are intended to inform website visitors about the data processing carried out by the website. Due to the duty to provide information under the Data Protection Act, privacy policies are mandatory. Terms and conditions, on the other hand, are pre-formulated terms that govern the details of a contract between the contracting parties.
What makes a good privacy policy?
A good privacy policy benefits consumers and promotes transparency and integrity amongst website providers. It must be comprehensive, easy to understand and always up to date. PrivacyBee offers a solution through easy-to-understand text blocks and the inclusion of privacy icons.
Why should you choose PrivacyBee over other providers?
Privacy policies must always be up to date, which places a considerable burden on businesses. With PrivacyBee, you can solve this problem.
We identify services relevant to data protection and automatically generate a corresponding, personalised privacy policy. This is automatically updated as soon as the tool identifies a new service.
What else does PrivacyBee offer apart from the privacy policy?
PrivacyBee is a comprehensive website privacy solution. As well as an automatically updated privacy policy, PrivacyBee also offers a smart cookie banner and a legal notice that is automatically generated and kept up to date.
Does the privacy policy also apply to requirements under EU law?
Yes. The privacy policies generated by PrivacyBee are compatible with both the requirements of the EU’s GDPR and the Swiss Data Protection Act.
Why shouldn’t you just copy PrivacyBee’s privacy policy?
PrivacyBee is more than just a standard privacy policy generator. We update your privacy policy automatically and regularly whenever new third-party tools or technologies are added.
It is important to note that copying and pasting our privacy policy constitutes a breach of copyright.
How does PrivacyBee identify services relevant to data protection?
PrivacyBee regularly scans your website to identify all the services it contains. We then filter out the services relevant to data protection and use them to generate your personalised privacy notices.
How can I integrate PrivacyBee into my website?
Once you have completed the configuration, you will receive a short JavaScript snippet that you can easily insert into your CMS. If you use WordPress, you can alternatively use our WordPress plugin.
How can I customise PrivacyBee to match my website design?
You can seamlessly integrate PrivacyBee by customising the accent colour and choosing between a light or dark background. To do this, enter your HEX or RGB colour code. There are also other ways to customise the look of your privacy policy.
How should I publish the privacy policy on my website?
We recommend publishing the privacy policy on a separate page entitled ‘Privacy Policy’ and linking to it from every footer.
