Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how NowMetrix collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you use our website, dashboard, tracking script, APIs, MCP server, connectors, documentation, trial forms, subscriptions, and related services (together, the "Service").

NowMetrix is provided by Rüegg Internet Services, Zürichstrasse 242, 8122 Binz, Switzerland ("NowMetrix", "we", "us", or "our"). For the purposes of applicable data protection laws, we act as controller for data collected through our own website, accounts, billing, and support. For analytics data collected on a customer's website, our role may depend on the customer's setup and applicable law.

1. Data We Collect

Account, Trial, and Contact Data

When you contact us, start a trial, create an account, subscribe, or request support, we may collect information such as your name, company name, business email address, website URL, message content, billing details, plan information, and communication history.

Service and Usage Data

We may collect technical and usage information when you use our website, dashboard, documentation, APIs, or other parts of the Service. This may include IP address, browser type, browser version, device type, operating system, pages visited, timestamps, diagnostic data, log data, and actions taken inside the Service.

Analytics Data Processed for Customers

The NowMetrix tracking script is designed for realtime, privacy-conscious analytics. For analytics tracking on customer websites, we do not use cookies to identify visitors. The data processed may include:

• a salted hash derived from the IP address and browser user agent;
• the page URL;
• the referrer URL;
• source and campaign information where available;
• country code derived from infrastructure or CDN data;
• whether the device is desktop or mobile;
• the timestamp of the request.

We do not store raw IP addresses for analytics tracking. Raw request-level analytics data is deleted after a maximum of 24 hours and is not copied to long-term backup systems. Aggregated metrics may be retained to provide reporting and historical views without identifying individual visitors.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The NowMetrix analytics script itself does not rely on cookies to provide realtime analytics to customers.

Our own website, dashboard, and account areas may use necessary cookies or similar technologies for login, security, session management, preferences, language selection, fraud prevention, and service operation. Where optional cookies or similar technologies are used and consent is required, we will ask for consent or provide controls as required by law.

3. How We Use Personal Data

We use personal data to:

• provide, operate, secure, and improve the Service;
• review trial requests and deliver setup information;
• create and manage accounts;
• provide realtime analytics, dashboards, APIs, MCP access, and connectors;
• respond to support requests and other communications;
• process payments, invoices, and subscription administration;
• detect abuse, errors, security risks, and misuse;
• send service updates, administrative messages, and product information;
• comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations;
• enforce our Terms of Service and protect our rights.

4. Legal Bases

Where the GDPR, Swiss data protection law, or similar laws apply, we process personal data on the following legal bases:

• performance of a contract or steps before entering into a contract;
• our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Service;
• compliance with legal obligations;
• your consent, where consent is required.

5. Sharing Personal Data

We may share personal data with service providers who help us operate the Service, such as hosting providers, infrastructure providers, CDN providers, email providers, payment processors, support tools, analytics tools, and security providers. These providers may process data only as needed to provide their services to us.

We may also share data if required by law, to protect rights and security, to enforce our agreements, or as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of business assets. We do not sell personal data.

6. International Transfers

We are based in Switzerland and may use service providers in Switzerland, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, the United States, or other countries. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as adequacy decisions, contractual protections, or other lawful mechanisms.

7. Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law.

• Raw request-level analytics data is deleted after a maximum of 24 hours.
• Aggregated analytics metrics may be retained for reporting and product functionality.
• Account, billing, and contract data may be retained while the account is active and as needed for legal, accounting, tax, and dispute purposes.
• Support and communication records may be retained as needed to handle requests and maintain business records.
• Security logs may be retained for a limited period to detect abuse and protect the Service.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of your personal data. Sie may also have the right to object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise rights relating to data we control, contact us at info@nowmetrix.com. If your request concerns analytics data collected by one of our customers on their website, we may direct you to that customer because they may be the controller for that processing.

9. California Privacy Rights

We do not sell personal data. If California privacy laws apply to your data, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain sharing of personal information. Sie can contact us at info@nowmetrix.com to make a request.

10. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" signals. There is no common industry standard for responding to those signals. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals in a separate way.

11. Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect the Service against unauthorized access, misuse, loss, and disclosure.

12. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
