5. Communication of personal data to recipients and abroad
5.1 Communication of personal data to recipients
In addition to data transfers to recipients expressly mentioned in this privacy policy, we may – to the extent permitted – disclose Personal Data to the following categories of recipients:
- Other companies belonging to Artisa;
- Suppliers to whom we have outsourced certain services (e.g. debt collection service providers, etc.)
- Service providers, subcontractors and other business partners;
- Banks and insurance companies;
- Tax consultants, auditors, lawyers, notaries;
- Domestic and foreign authorities, agencies and courts.
5.2 Disclosure of personal data abroad
Your personal data may be processed within Switzerland and the European Union or the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as “EU/EEA”), but may also be processed and transferred to a country outside Switzerland, the EU or the EEA, for example to the USA.
If we transfer data to a country that does not have adequate legal data protection, we ensure an adequate level of protection as required by law by using appropriate contracts (in particular on the basis of so-called standard clauses of the European Commission and security measures such as encryption) or we rely on legal exceptions of consent, performance of a contract, the conclusion of a contract, the exercise or defence of legal claims, overriding public interests, published Personal Data or because it is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject. We would like to point out that data transmitted abroad is no longer protected by Swiss law and that foreign laws and local authorities may require the disclosure of such data to authorities and other third parties.
6. PERIOD OF STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA
We process and store your personal data only for as long as is necessary in accordance with the purpose of the processing or if there is another legal basis for doing so (for example, statutory retention periods). We retain Personal Data in our possession on the basis of a contractual relationship with you at least for the duration of such contractual relationship and for limitation periods for potential claims or on the basis of contractual retention obligations. As soon as your personal data is no longer necessary for the aforementioned purposes, it will be rendered inactive, deleted or anonymized as far as possible.
7. Your rights
In accordance with the data protection law applicable to you and to the extent applicable, you have the right to information, rectification, deletion, the right to restrict data processing and to otherwise object to our data processing, as well as the handing over of certain personal data for transfer to another place (so-called data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to enforce the legal restrictions available to us, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, if we have an overriding interest in this (insofar as we are entitled to rely on such interest) or if we need the data to enforce our rights. If this incurs costs for you, we will inform you in advance.
If the data processing is based on your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future after giving it. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent before your revocation.
The exercise of these rights generally requires that you clearly prove your identity (for example, by means of a copy of an identity document, if your identity is not clear or cannot be verified otherwise). To assert your rights, you can contact us at the address specified in section 2 of this privacy policy.
In addition, each data subject has the right to assert his or her rights in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority may vary depending on where you live or where the alleged violation of applicable data protection law takes place.
8 Data security
We take appropriate security measures to maintain the necessary security of your personal data and ensure its confidentiality, integrity and availability, and to protect it from unauthorized or unlawful processing, and to mitigate the risk of loss, accidental alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.
9 Changes to this Privacy Policy
We expressly reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time. If we make any changes, we will immediately post the revised privacy policy on our websites. The Privacy Policy (as amended from time to time) currently published on our websites is always applicable.
