This policy explains what cookies are, how breezeYachting.swiss uses them, and the choices available to you. Reading it takes less than five minutes and gives you full clarity over your data.

Please be aware that restricting cookies may affect the functionality of our website and third-party services embedded within it.

5. International Transfers

Several third-party providers listed above are based in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside Switzerland or the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) — to maintain the same level of data protection required under Swiss law (nDSG) and the GDPR.

In relation to data processed through cookies, you hold the following rights:

  • Access & Portability: Request a copy of data we hold about you.
  • Erasure: Request deletion of personal data where no compelling reason exists for its continued processing.
