3. General Principles
3.1 What Data Do We Collect From You and From Whom Do We Obtain This Data?
Primarily, we process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect when operating our website. In some cases, we may also receive personal data about you from third parties. These may include the following categories:
- Personal master data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
- Contact data (mobile number, email address, etc.);
- Financial data (e.g., account details);
- Online identifiers (e.g., cookie IDs, IP addresses);
- Location and traffic data;
- Audio and visual recordings;
- Particularly sensitive data (e.g., biometric data or health information).
3.2 Under What Conditions Do We Process Your Data?
We treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes set out in this privacy policy. We ensure transparent and proportionate processing.
If we are exceptionally unable to follow these principles, the data processing may still be lawful if a justification exists. Justifications may include:
- Your consent;
- The performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
- Our legitimate interests, provided your interests do not override them.
3.3 How Can You Withdraw Your Consent?
If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent, unless we have another justification.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address provided in the imprint. This does not affect data processing that has already taken place.
3.4 In What Cases Can We Disclose Your Data to Third Parties?
a. General Principle
We may need to use the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients include:
- Accounting, trust, and auditing companies;
- Consulting firms (legal, tax, etc.);
- IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, web design, etc.);
- Payment service providers;
- Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services.
We ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially.
In some cases, we may also be required to disclose your personal data to authorities.
b. Visiting Our Social Media Channels
We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. These are visible to you (typically via corresponding icons). If you click on the icons, you will be redirected to our social media channels.
In this case, the social media providers learn that you have accessed their platform from our website. The social media providers may use the data collected for their own purposes. We would like to point out that we do not have access to the content of the transmitted data or its use by the operators.
c. Disclosure Abroad
In the course of processing, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad. These companies are obligated to comply with data protection requirements to the same extent as we are. The transfer may occur worldwide.
If the level of data protection does not correspond to that of Switzerland, we will conduct a prior risk assessment and ensure through contractual measures that the same level of protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (e.g., using the EU Commission’s new standard contractual clauses or other legally required measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we will take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses at the following link: https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-controllers-and-processors-eueea_de.
3.5 How Long Do We Retain Your Data?
We store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which the data was collected.
Data that we store when you visit our website is retained for twelve months. An exception applies to analysis and tracking data, which may be retained for longer.
We retain contract data longer because we are legally required to do so. In particular, we must retain business communications, concluded contracts, and booking receipts for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data to provide services, the data will be blocked and used only for accounting and tax purposes.
3.6 How Do We Protect Your Data?
We will store your data securely and take all reasonable measures to protect your data from loss, access, misuse, or alteration.
Our contractual partners and employees who have access to your data are obligated to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it may be necessary to forward your inquiries to affiliated companies. Even in these cases, your data will be treated confidentially.
Within our website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.
3.7 What Rights Do You Have?
a. Right to Information
You can request information about the data we have stored about you at any time. We ask you to send your request for information along with proof of identity to buero@azesecurity.com
You also have the right to receive your data in a common file format if we process your data automatically and if:
- You have given your consent for the processing of this data; or
- You have provided data in connection with the conclusion or execution of a contract.
We may restrict or refuse the provision of information or data if it conflicts with our legal obligations, legitimate interests, public interests, or the interests of a third party.
Your request will be processed within the statutory processing period of 30 days. However, we may extend this period due to high request volumes, legal or technical reasons, or because we need further information from you. You will be informed of any extension in a timely manner, at least in text form.
b. Deletion and Correction
You have the right to request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject the request if legal provisions require us to retain the data for a longer period or if a justification exists that conflicts with your request.
Please note that exercising your rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have corresponding effects on the execution of the contract (e.g., early termination of the contract or cost consequences).
c. Legal Recourse
If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch.
3.8 Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may change this privacy policy at any time. The changes will be published on https://www.azesecurity.com, and you will not be separately informed.
