Data Policy

This Privacy Policy provides information about how we obtain and process personal data.

“Personal data” means all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. “Processing” means any handling of personal data, irrespective of the means and procedures applied, in particular the collection, storage, retention, use, revision, disclosure, archiving, deletion or destruction of personal data.

It is possible that any other documents, such as conditions of participation or similar declarations, regulate specific data processing.

If the data subject provides the Partner or Joint Controller with personal data of other persons (e.g. family members, work colleagues or employees), the data subject must ensure that these persons are aware of this Privacy Policy. Their personal data may only be disclosed to the Partner or Joint Controller if the data subject is authorised to do so and the personal data is correct.

You may contact the following company for data protection concerns:

We primarily obtain and process personal data that is provided to us by the data subject, e.g. when opening a business relationship, in the context of the execution of contracts, the use of products and services or on websites or other applications.

We process various categories of personal data. The most important categories are:

• Master and inventory data (e.g. name, address, nationality, date of birth, information regarding account, custody account, concluded transactions and contracts, information on third parties affected by data processing, such as spouses, authorised representatives and advisors).
• Technical data (e.g. business numbers, IP addresses, internal and external identifiers, records of access).
• User and prospect data (e.g. users of the Partner’s websites)
• Communication data (e.g. contact data such as email address, telephone number)
• Other data (e.g. video or audio recordings, access data)

We processes personal data primarily to provide own services, to process contracts with clients and business partners and to comply with legal obligations.

Insofar as consent has been given to process personal data for specific purposes (e.g. when registering for a newsletter), the personal data will be processed within the scope of and based on this consent, insofar as no other legal basis is given and necessary. Consent given can be revoked at any time, but this does not affect data processing that has already taken place.

The Partner undertakes to protect personal data for the data processing’s for which it is responsible in accordance with the applicable laws. The protection of personal data includes appropriate technical and organisational security measures (e.g. access restrictions, firewalls, personalised passwords as well as encryption and authentication technologies, training of employees, etc.).

Recipients of personal data are usually in Switzerland. Particularly when using certain services, personal data may also be disclosed to third parties outside of Switzerland (e.g. Europe or the USA). Where a recipient is located in a country without an adequate level of data protection, we contractually oblige the recipient to comply with the applicable data protection unless the recipient is already subject to a legally recognized set of rules to ensure data protection or the Joint Controller cannot rely on an exemption provision.

When you visits our website, the web server automatically records details of the visit (e.g. the website from which the visit takes place, the visitor’s IP address, the content of the website that is accessed, including the date and duration of the visit). Such tracking data is used to optimise the websites visited and provide information on how the visitor informs himself about and uses the products, services and offers. As a rule, however, it does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the visitor. In this respect, no personal data is processed.

However, if the visitor provides personal data, e.g. by filling in a registration form or message field for newsletters etc., we may use this data in particular for the following, in addition to the purposes set out in section 5:

• for customer and user administration;
• to inform the visitor about services and products;
• for marketing purposes (e.g. sending newsletters);
• for the technical “hosting” and further development of the websites.

When visiting the websites, the visitor’s data is transported via the internet, i.e. an open network accessible to everyone. Data transmitted via electronic media (including e-mail) cannot be effectively protected against access by third parties. This entails the risk that data may be disclosed or its content changed, that the identity of the sender (e.g. e-mail) as well as the content of the message is faked or manipulated in some other way by unauthorised persons, that viruses may be released, that technical transmission errors, delays or interruptions may occur, that data may be transmitted uncontrolled abroad, where data protection requirements may be lower than in Switzerland, etc. The risk of such manipulation may also arise.

By using the website, visitors confirm their express agreement with this Privacy Policy and the risks mentioned. The duration of the storage of personal data depends on the purpose of the respective data processing and/or legal retention and documentation obligations, which amount to five, ten or more years depending on the applicable legal basis. As soon as the personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it is deleted or made anonymous as far as possible.

Anyone can request information from us as to whether personal data about him/ her is being processed. There is a right of objection or restriction of processing and, where applicable, the right to data portability. Incorrect data can be corrected. Furthermore, the deletion of personal data can be requested, unless legal or regulatory obligations (e.g. legal retention obligations of business-relevant data) or technical hurdles prevent this. The deletion of data may have the consequence that certain services can no longer be provided. In addition, where applicable, there is a right of appeal to a competent authority. Where we process personal data on the basis of consent, this consent may be revoked at any time. In order to respond to your request, we ask for a corresponding, comprehensible message. We will review and respond to the concerns within a reasonable period.

We may amend this data protection declaration at any time without prior notice.
