Data protection

With this data protection declaration, we, Scigility Switzerland AG, inform you about the processing of personal data in connection with our offers including our corresponding scigility.ch website (hereinafter the "Website").

Our offer is subject to Swiss data protection law and any applicable foreign data protection law, in particular that of the European Union (EU). The EU recognises that Switzerland has legislation that guarantees appropriate data protection.

Special, supplementary or additional data protection declarations may exist for individual and additional offers and services.

1. Processing of personal data

1.1 Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data are processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, storage, modification, destruction and use of personal data.

1.2 We process the personal data that is required in order to be able to guarantee the service permanently, securely and reliably (Art. 6 Para. 1 Bst. b and f of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, DSGVO). We also process personal data that people disclose themselves when using the offer and website - for example when placing an order, contacting us or subscribing to a newsletter. The disclosure of personal data that is not required is voluntary.

1.3 We always process personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection law, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (FADP). If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no general legal basis for such processing, such as the necessity for the fulfilment of a contract, we obtain the consent of the respective data subject (Art. 6 para. 1 let. a DSGVO).

1.4 Each time you visit our website - as is standard when accessing any website - we collect general data that is stored in server log files for each individual access. For the access, we record the respective date and time, the Internet Protocol (IP) address used, the operating systems and browsers used including versions, the individual web pages called up and the website via which the visitors reached our website (so-called referrer). We do not identify any persons with this general data. We need this general information to deliver the website, to keep it permanently functional and to be able to continuously improve it (Art. 6 para. 1 let. f DSGVO). We process this general data anonymously and evaluate it statistically to ensure data security for the offer so that we can ensure the protection of personal data.

1.5 We only retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes.

1.6 We may have personal data processed with the help of third parties and by third parties - in each case also abroad. Such contract processors process personal data on our behalf and exclusively within the framework of this data protection declaration.

1.7 We may disclose personal data to companies - also abroad - that are affiliated with us. We ensure that such companies process the personal data concerned exclusively within the framework of this data protection declaration.

1.8 We do not disclose any personal data to third parties without the consent of the person concerned. Exceptions to this are legal obligations to disclose data, disclosure in order to enforce our own legal claims and disclosure in order to protect such legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 let. f DSGVO).

1.9 The legal basis under the GDPR for the processing of personal data that is necessary to protect the vital interests of data subjects or other persons is in particular Art. 6 para. 1 let. d GDPR.

1.10 The legal basis under the GDPR for processing personal data that is necessary to protect our legitimate interests but is not covered by any other legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless the fundamental freedoms and rights or interests of the data subjects that require the protection of personal data are overridden, in particular if the data subjects are children. When processing personal data in this context, our legitimate interest lies in ensuring our own entrepreneurial activity for the benefit of the general public, owners and employees.

2. Organisational and technical measures

2.1 We take appropriate and suitable organisational and technical measures to ensure data protection and data security. When personal data is processed abroad or by third parties, we ensure that appropriate data protection is guaranteed.

2.2 Despite organisational and technical measures, the processing of personal data on the Internet can have security gaps, so that absolute data protection and data security cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to provide us with personal data by other means, in particular by letter post.

2.3 The website is accessed via transport encryption (SSL / TLS).

2.4 Access to the website is subject - as is any use of the Internet - to mass surveillance and other monitoring by security authorities in Switzerland, the EU, the United States of America (USA) and other countries without any reason or suspicion. We cannot influence the corresponding processing of personal data by secret services, police agencies and other security authorities.
