Your enquiry
The contact form collects your chosen topic, optional salutation, name, company and address, email address, telephone number, subject, message and selected language. If you contact a partner, their name is attached to the enquiry. Required fields help us understand and respond to your request; you may also contact us by telephone or email.
Why we use your information
We use enquiry details to respond, discuss a possible engagement and manage related correspondence. Where the GDPR applies, processing may be necessary for steps you request before a contract (Article 6(1)(b)), or for our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries and maintaining a secure website (Article 6(1)(f)). Applicable legal record-keeping obligations may also require processing (Article 6(1)(c)).
Cookies and browser storage
The BridgeLink website includes no advertising trackers or visitor analytics. Fonts and images load from this website. We use only the browser storage described below to support language selection and the contact form.
Language selection
The homepage reads your browser’s preferred languages to choose English or German. Choosing a language manually stores that choice in this tab’s session storage. It is normally cleared when the tab closes and is no longer used after 24 hours. Browser session restoration may retain storage; the expiry is checked on the next page load. You can change the language at any time or clear this website’s browser data.
Form security and confirmation
Opening the contact form creates a session cookie (PHPSESSID) to protect submissions and prevent duplicates. It has no persistent expiry and follows your browser’s session-cookie handling. A temporary confirmation marker is stored in session storage after submission and removed when the thank-you page reads it. It contains no contact details. The server also uses a hashed IP address and recent attempt times to limit repeated submissions; attempts count towards this limit for ten minutes.
Recipients and delivery
Enquiries are sent as email through Microsoft 365, BridgeLink’s email service, to the BridgeLink mailbox and are handled by the people who deal with your request. The website is hosted on servers in Switzerland. Our hosting provider processes technical server logs (such as IP address, time and requested page) to operate and secure the website.
Storage periods and international transfers
Enquiries are received and stored as email in BridgeLink’s Microsoft 365 mailbox, as part of our business correspondence. We keep this correspondence while we deal with your request and any ensuing engagement, and afterwards only as long as legal record-keeping obligations or possible legal claims require. Microsoft may process email data in the European Union and in other countries where it operates, protected by its standard contractual safeguards. Technical server logs are kept only as long as needed to operate and secure the website.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may request access to your personal data, correction, deletion, restriction or portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it for the future. Contact us using the details above. You may also contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner or the competent EU data protection authority. The BridgeLink website does not use profiling or automated decisions about you.
