10. Data transmission to third parties in Switzerland and abroad

10.1

We may disclose data to third parties in the course of our business and for the purposes of the data processing set out in this Privacy Policy, provided that such disclosure is permitted and we consider the processing of data by those third parties on our behalf or for those third parties‘ own purposes to be appropriate. In particular, these are the following categories of recipients (collectively, the „Recipients„):

• our service providers (such as credit card payment systems, banks, insurance companies) including processors (such as IT providers);
• dealers, suppliers, subcontractors, and other business partners.

10.2

Certain recipients may be located within Switzerland, but equally well in any country worldwide. In particular, you should expect that your data will be transferred to the United States, where some of our service providers may be located (such as Google, Amazon, Salesforce.com, or another CRM customer relationship management system, Expedia).

10.3

If we transfer data to a country without adequate legal data protection, we will ensure an adequate level of protection required by law by concluding appropriate contracts (in particular based on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission) or binding internal data protection rules, or we will lay our claims on the lawful basis of consent, the performance of a contract or the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, superordinate public interest, already published personal data or because it is necessary to protect the integrity of the data subjects.

10.4

A copy of the said contractual guarantees can be obtained at any time from the contact person mentioned in item 2 above. However, we reserve the right, for reasons of data protection or confidentiality, to make copies partially unrecognizable or to provide only extracts.

 

11. Retention periods for your personal data

11.1

We process and store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual and legal obligations or other purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation to the fulfillment of the contract to the termination) as well as beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations.

11.2

Personal data may be retained for as long as claims can be asserted against our company or insofar as we are legally obliged to retain it for other reasons or this is based on justified business interests (e.g. for purposes of proof and documentation).

11.3

As soon as we no longer need your personal data for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted or anonymized insofar as possible. For operational data (e.g. system logs), shorter retention periods of a maximum of twelve months generally apply.

 

12. Data security

12.1

We have taken appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access and misuse, such as internal policies, training, IT and network security solutions, access controls and restrictions, encryption of data carriers and transmissions, pseudonymization, audits.

12.2

You can be assured that your personal and account information is adequately protected on our platform. We use encryption technology (SSL) in all areas of our platform where you are required to provide your login, financial or credit card information. The personally identifiable information we collect is stored in secure operating environments that are not accessible to the public. Credit card information is encrypted. All information that we collect and store is protected by the provider’s firewall. In addition, all information that we store in our company is kept physically secure and only those employees who are entrusted with it have access to it.

12.3

Although we make every effort to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or through our online products or services. You transmit this data at your own risk. Once the data has been transmitted to us, we make reasonable efforts to ensure the security of that data on our systems.

 

13. Obligation to provide us with personal data

13.1

Within the scope of our business relationship, you must provide us with all personal data required for the conclusion and performance of a business relationship and the fulfillment of our contractual obligations (in principle, there is no legal obligation to provide us with data). In general, we will not be able to enter into or perform the Agreement with you (or the company or person you represent) without this information.

13.2

Furthermore, the platform can only be used if certain data to enable data traffic (e.g. IP address) is disclosed.

 

14. Your Rights

14.1

In accordance with applicable law and where provided for therein (as is the case within the scope of the GDPR), you have the right to access, rectification and erasure of your personal data, the right to restrict processing, or to object to the processing of your data by us, as well as the right to receive certain personal data for the purpose of transferring it to another controller (data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce legal restrictions, e.g. if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have an overriding interest (insofar as we can rely on this), or need the data to enforce claims.

14.2

If you incur any costs as a result of exercising certain rights, we will notify you in advance. We have already informed you about the possibility of revoking your consent in item 3 above.

14.3

Please also note that exercising these rights may conflict with your contractual obligations and may result in consequences such as early termination of the contract or costs. If this is the case, we will inform you in advance, unless this has already been contractually agreed.

14.4

In principle, in order to exercise these rights, you must be able to prove your identity (e.g. by providing a copy of identification documents if your identity is not otherwise obvious or can be verified in some other way). If you would like to exercise these rights, please contact us as set out in item  2 above.

14.5

In addition, any data subject may exercise his or her rights in court or lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).
