Hosting

The site and its database are hosted in Switzerland by Infomaniak Network SA, Rue Eugène-Marziano 25, 1227 Les Acacias (Genève), Switzerland. Hosting is provided by Solvana Digital.

A free community service

Animalerte is free, with no paid advertising and no paid promotion. Interruptions are possible and no availability is guaranteed. Nothing can guarantee that an animal will be found.

Listing content

Listings are posted by their authors, who answer for them. They appear on the site without prior checks; the team checks the ones it publishes on the service’s Facebook and Instagram pages. We remove any listing that is clearly false, abusive or unlawful as soon as we learn of it: write to info@animalerte.ch.

Photos

By uploading a photo you confirm you are entitled to publish it, and you allow it to be shown on the site and on the service’s materials (printable poster, shareable image, posts on our pages). It stays yours: deleting the listing removes its photos everywhere we publish them.

Brand and site content

The name Animalerte, its logo and the site texts belong to its operator. The logo was drawn by CTRLT. Map tiles come from OpenStreetMap and its contributors.

The directory of towns, villages and postcodes comes from swisstopo, the Swiss Federal Office of Topography (© swisstopo, open data, as of 21 October 2026).

Applicable law

Swiss law applies. The place of jurisdiction is Sion, so far as the law allows it to be agreed.
