Privacy Policy
Alpine Business Bridge (ABB), Schaan, Liechtenstein, is the controller of the personal data collected on this site.
Who is responsible for your data
Alpine Business Bridge, Bahnhofstrasse 8, 9495 Schaan, Liechtenstein, decides why and how your personal data is processed on this site. It is the controller under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies in Liechtenstein through the EEA Agreement, and under the Liechtenstein Data Protection Act.
Send questions about your data to info@business-in-liechtenstein.com, call +423 210 0002 (Business Development department, Monday to Friday, 09:30-17:00 CET/CEST) or use the contact form.
Where a licensed Liechtenstein trustee, lawyer or patent attorney performs a reserved act for you, that partner also handles the data the act needs. The engagement letter names the partner.
What personal data we process
What we hold depends on what you do on the site. We collect nothing about you beyond the technical request your browser makes unless you fill in a form, make a payment or accept analytics. Fields that are not marked as required can stay empty.
Personal data by channel.
| channel | data | source |
|---|---|---|
| Contact and enquiry forms | Name, email, company and telephone number if you give them, the service you ask about, your message, and the visitor context listed in the next section | You and your browser |
| Onboarding form | Name, email, telephone number, country of residence, preferred language, how you want us to reply, the planned company (type of entity, proposed names, activity, planned share capital, number of shareholders and directors, whether a director lives in Liechtenstein), the services you tick, timing, your message, the campaign tags of the link you followed, and the ready-made company you ask about | You and your browser |
| Payment form | Invoice number, your name or company name, email, amount, currency and payment method | You |
| Analytics, only after you accept | Pages viewed, clicks and scrolling, device and browser data, an analytics identifier | Your browser |
| Hosting and security | IP address and the technical data of each page request, and the result of the Turnstile check on forms | Your browser |
Context sent with every form
Every form on this site sends the items below together with your message. We use them to answer your enquiry and to tell genuine enquiries from spam.
- IP address
- City-level location
- Network: the internet provider or network operator that carries your connection
- Browser and language
- Referrer: the page or search that led you here
- The path through the site: the pages you viewed before you sent the form
- Visit number
- Time on page
- Device and viewport: the type of device and the size of the window
- Cookie-consent state: whether you accepted or refused analytics
- Analytics id: the analytics identifier, where your browser has one
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering your enquiry and in telling spam from enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We keep this context with the enquiry email, and for as long as we keep that email. No other cookie value is sent: besides the analytics id above, the form reports only whether you gave consent.
Why we process it and on what legal basis
Each purpose rests on one basis under Art. 6(1) of the GDPR.
Purpose and legal basis.
| purpose | data | legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Answering your enquiry or message | Name, contact details, message | Steps at your request before a contract, Art. 6(1)(b); our legitimate interest in answering, Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Telling spam from enquiries | Visitor context, Turnstile result | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) |
| Onboarding and preparing an engagement | Onboarding form data | Steps at your request before a contract, and the contract once concluded, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Taking payment of an invoice | Payment form data | Contract, Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Keeping invoices and accounting records | Payment and invoice data | Legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) |
| Analytics | Analytics data | Consent, Art. 6(1)(a), which you can withdraw at any time |
| Running and securing the site | Technical request data | Legitimate interest in a working and secure site, Art. 6(1)(f) |
Cookies and analytics
Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity load only after you accept them in the cookie banner. Until you accept, neither runs. The banner follows Google Consent Mode v2. If you refuse, the site works the same way and you lose nothing.
Analytics tells us which pages are read. Clarity shows us where visitors click and scroll, so that we can fix pages that confuse them. You can withdraw your consent at any time, and the withdrawal applies from your next page view. The names, purposes and lifetimes of the cookies are listed in the cookie policy.
Payments
The payment page takes card payments through Stripe and crypto payments through NOWPayments. You finish the payment on the provider's page. Your card details go to Stripe and never reach this site.
Each provider receives the data it needs to take the payment, and its own privacy notice governs its part of the processing. We receive the invoice details you entered and the confirmation that the payment was made. We keep no card number.
Who receives your data
The mailbox that receives enquiries is held by us and is not named here. We pass your details to a licensed partner only when a service you instruct needs one.
Recipients and their role.
| recipient | role | data |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosts the site on Cloudflare Pages, runs the Turnstile check on forms and forwards mail sent to our address | Page requests including IP address, form submissions in transit, mail |
| Resend | Delivers form submissions to us by email | Form content and visitor context |
| Google Analytics 4, only after you accept | Analytics data | |
| Microsoft | Microsoft Clarity, only after you accept | Usage data of your visit |
| Stripe | Card payments | Payment details and the invoice details you entered |
| NOWPayments | Crypto payments | Payment details and the invoice details you entered |
| Licensed Liechtenstein partner | Performs the acts reserved to a trustee, lawyer or patent attorney, named in your engagement letter | The details that engagement needs |
Transfers outside the EEA
Some of these providers may process data outside the EEA, including in the United States. Where that happens, the transfer relies on a safeguard under Chapter V of the GDPR, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. Write to info@business-in-liechtenstein.com for details of the safeguard that applies to a provider.
How long we keep your data
We keep data for as long as the purpose it was collected for requires, and no longer. Erasure on request is covered under your rights below. It does not reach records that the law obliges us to keep.
Retention by kind of data.
| data | how long |
|---|---|
| Enquiry, contact and onboarding data | As long as we need it to answer you and, if you become a client, to run the engagement; erased on request unless a legal duty requires us to keep it |
| Visitor context sent with a form | With the enquiry email, and for as long as that email is kept |
| Payment and invoice records | As long as the law requires us to keep invoices and accounting records |
| Analytics data | Held by Google and Microsoft for the period set in each analytics tool |
| Your cookie choice | In your browser until you change it or clear the site data |
| Technical request data | Held by Cloudflare under its own retention rules |
Your rights
You hold the rights below under Art. 15 to 21 of the GDPR. To use one, write to info@business-in-liechtenstein.com and say which right you mean.
- Access to the data we hold about you, with a copy of it (Art. 15)
- Rectification of data that is wrong (Art. 16)
- Erasure when we no longer need the data or you withdraw your consent (Art. 17)
- Restriction of processing in the cases the GDPR lists (Art. 18)
- Portability of the data you gave us, in a common format (Art. 20)
- Objection to processing based on legitimate interest, including the visitor context sent with a form (Art. 21)
- Withdrawal of consent at any time, for example for analytics; the withdrawal does not affect processing done before it (Art. 7(3))
We may ask you to prove who you are before we release or change data, so that it does not reach someone else. Access, rectification and erasure cost you nothing unless a request is clearly unfounded or excessive (Art. 12(5)).
Complaints
If you think we process your data unlawfully, you may complain to a supervisory authority. In Liechtenstein that is the Datenschutzstelle, the national data protection authority. You may also complain to the authority of the EEA state where you live or work. You do not have to contact us first.
Changes to this notice
We update this notice when our processing changes, for example when we add a form or a provider. The date at the top of the page shows when it last changed. If a change adds a new purpose for data we already hold, we tell you before we use the data for it.
