Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

1. Data controller

Hundesteuerrechner is operated as a private, independent information service. No registration, account creation, or personal data is required to use this website – the dog tax calculator works entirely anonymously in your browser.

2. What data is processed?

Visiting this website automatically generates certain technical information via the server or hosting provider, including:

IP address (anonymised or truncated, depending on hosting configuration)
Date and time of access
Browser type and operating system used
Referrer URL (the previously visited page)

This data serves solely to ensure reliable operation and IT security and is not linked to individual persons.

3. Inputs in the dog tax calculator

The values you select in the calculator (canton, number of dogs, exemption status) are processed exclusively locally in your browser to compute the result. This data is not transmitted to a server, stored, or shared with third parties.

4. Cookies & advertising (Google AdSense)

This website may include advertisements from Google AdSense and other ad networks. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver ads, measure their effectiveness, and display interest-based advertising.

Further information on Google's use of data can be found in Google's privacy notices. You can disable the use of cookies for personalised advertising at any time in your browser settings or via Google's ad settings.

5. Web analytics

If analytics tools (e.g. for traffic measurement) are used on this website, this is done exclusively in anonymised or pseudonymised form to continuously improve the service.

6. External links

This website may contain links to external websites, e.g. municipal portals. No responsibility is taken for the content and privacy practices of linked pages.

7. Your rights

Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), you generally have the right to access, rectify, erase, and restrict the processing of data concerning you, insofar as such data is processed.

This privacy policy may be updated as needed to reflect changing legal requirements or technical circumstances.
