OneLog AG

What OneLog AG does

OneLog AG is a Swiss joint venture company headquartered in Zurich (Dufourstrasse 23, 8008 Zürich) that operates a single sign-on (SSO) authentication platform for the Swiss Digital Alliance, a consortium of Switzerland's largest media and publishing houses. Co-owned by Ringier AG, TX Group AG, NZZ AG, and CH Media, the company provides a unified login infrastructure that allows consumers to register once and access multiple Swiss digital media services — including Blick, Handelszeitung, Beobachter, Bilanz, Cash, Schweizer Illustrierte, L'illustré, Energy, and approximately 14 other partner brands — using a single set of credentials. The service is offered free of charge to end users and is distributed through a B2B2C model across partner media websites, with the JV owners functioning as both shareholders and primary commercial partners.

The platform's core technology centers on identity federation with security and usability features including HTTPS encryption, two-factor authentication, biometric login, social login integration, and centralized personal data management via a profile portal at profile.onelog.ch. The service is available in Switzerland's four national languages (German, French, Italian, English), reflecting the Swiss market's linguistic regions. OneLog has been awarded the Digital Trust Label by the Swiss Digital Initiative, an independent Geneva-based non-profit, certifying compliance with Swiss and EU data protection standards. Technical integration is supported through a public documentation portal.

OneLog's revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed and no external funding rounds have been identified. The company is privately held and appears to be financed internally by its four media owners, operating as shared identity infrastructure for the Swiss Digital Alliance rather than as a standalone commercial venture. The entity is organized as a Swiss Aktiengesellschaft with active operations evident from ongoing updates to legal documentation (Terms & Conditions Version 3.0, September 2023; Privacy Policy Version 2.9, August 2025). Geographical scope is limited to Switzerland with no disclosed international expansion.
