Fritzi is a Swiss app that connects people through real-world experiences. We collect only what we need to run the service. We never sell your data. Teens (16–17) have extra protections. You can delete your account and all data at any time.
Fritzi is operated by Sugihara & Co. GmbH, a company registered in Switzerland. Our registered address is Hoeh-Rohnenweg 6, 8832 Wilen bei Wollerau, Switzerland.
For the purposes of Swiss data protection law (nDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Sugihara & Co. GmbH is the data controller.

Under GDPR and Swiss nDSG, we process your data on the following legal bases:
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
We do not sell your data. We share data only with trusted service providers who help us operate Fritzi:

Fritzi takes the safety of young users extremely seriously. We operate a strict separation between teen accounts (ages 16–17) and adult accounts (18+). Teen content is never visible to adults, and adult content is never visible to teens.

In the event of a data breach, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours as required by law.
