Privacy policy

What this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. Last updated 12 November 2026.

Who is responsible

This website, frankencoin.com, is operated by the Frankencoin Association (Verein), a Swiss non-profit based in Zug, Switzerland. For anything about personal data, write to info@frankencoin.com.

The Association runs this website only. It does not issue ZCHF, does not control the Frankencoin protocol and does not operate the app at app.frankencoin.com, which has its own terms. Transactions you make on-chain are public by design and are not covered by this policy.

What we collect

Server logs
Our hosting provider records technical access data for every request: IP address, time, page requested, browser type and the referring page. We use it to keep the site running and secure. Logs are kept for a short period and then deleted. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure website.
Analytics, only with your consent
We use Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd.) to see which pages are read and which buttons are used. If you accept analytics in the cookie banner, Google sets cookies (such as _ga) and we see pseudonymous usage data, including a shortened IP address, device and country. Event data is kept for two months, user data for 14 months. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no identifier is stored; Google receives only aggregated, cookieless signals that cannot be linked to you. You can change your choice at any time under Cookie settings in the footer. Legal basis: your consent. Google may process data in the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Email
If you email us, we receive your address, your message and anything you attach. We use it only to answer you and keep it as long as the conversation requires. Mail is handled by our email provider on our behalf. Legal basis: taking steps at your request before a possible cooperation, and our legitimate interest in answering enquiries.
Protocol data
Rates, reserves and supply shown on this site come from api.frankencoin.com and the public blockchain. These requests contain no personal data about you beyond the technical access data above.
Embedded content
The media page can embed videos from YouTube (Google). The embed loads when you open that page and YouTube may set its own cookies, governed by Google's privacy policy. Links to other sites, including the app and exchanges, lead to services with their own policies.

Cookies we use

Google Analytics, set only after consent. Distinguish visitors and sessions. Kept up to 2 years.

Your rights

Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and, where it applies, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you can ask us which personal data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, object to processing based on legitimate interest, and withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future. Write to info@frankencoin.com. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner or to the supervisory authority in your EU country.
