Please note that unencrypted e-mails are transmitted via the open Internet, which is why it cannot be ruled out that they can be viewed, accessed and manipulated by third parties. Therefore, we ask You not to send us confidential information by e-mail.

4. Disclosure of Personal Data to recipients and abroad

4.1 Disclosure of Personal Data to recipients

In addition to the transfers of data to recipients expressly mentioned in this privacy policy, we may to the extent permitted – disclose Personal Data to the following categories of recipients:
- Providers to whom we have outsourced certain services (e.g. IT and hosting providers, payment service providers, debt collection service providers, risk management and compliance providers etc.);
- Service providers, subcontractors and other business partners;
- Banks and insurance companies;
- Tax advisors, auditors, lawyers, notaries and other external professional advisors of Centria Capital SA;

4.2 Disclosure of Personal Data abroad

Your Personal Data may be processed within Switzerland, the European Union or the European Economic Area (hereinafter "EU/EEA") but may also be processed in and transferred to a country outside of Switzerland, EU or EEA, for example the USA.

Should we ever need to transfer data to a country without adequate legal data protection, we ensure an adequate level of protection as provided for by law by using appropriate contracts (namely on the basis of the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission) or we rely on the legal exceptions of consent, the performance of a contract, the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims, overriding public interests, published Personal Data or because it is necessary to protect the integrity of the data subjects. We would like to point out that data transmitted abroad is no longer protected by Swiss law and foreign laws as well as official orders may require the disclosure of this data to authorities and other third parties.

5. Duration of storage

We process and store Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary in accordance with the relevant purpose of processing or if there is another legal basis for doing so (e.g. statutory retention periods). We retain Personal Data that we hold on the basis of a contractual relationship with You for at least the duration of that contractual relationship and the statutory limitation periods for potential claims or based on contractual retention obligations. As soon as Your Personal Data are no longer required for the above-referenced purposes, they will be set inactive, deleted or anonymised as far as possible.

6. Your rights

Under the data protection law applicable to You and to the extent provided for, You have the right to information, rectification, erasure, the right to restrict data processing and otherwise to object to our data processing as well as to the handover of certain Personal Data for transfer to another location (so-called data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert the statutory restrictions on our part, for example if we are obliged to retain or process certain data, if we have an overriding interest in this (to the extent we are entitled to rely on such interest) or if we need the data in order to assert claims. If this results in costs for You, we will inform You in advance.

If data processing is based on Your consent, after giving Your consent You may withdraw it at any time with future effect. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of Your consent prior to Your withdrawal of consent.

The exercise of such rights generally requires that You clearly prove Your identity (e.g. by means of a copy of an identification document, where Your identity is otherwise unclear or cannot be verified). In order to assert Your rights, You may contact us at the address specified in Section 1 of this privacy policy.

In addition, every data subject has the right to enforce his/her rights in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. The competent data protection authority may vary depending on Your place of residence or the place where the alleged infringement of the applicable data protection law takes place.

7. Data security

We take appropriate security measures in order to maintain the required security of your Personal Data and ensure its confidentiality, integrity and availability, and to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful processing, and to mitigate the risk of loss, accidental alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access.

8. Amendments to this Privacy Policy

We expressly reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time. If such amendments are made, we will immediately publish the amended privacy policy on our website. The privacy policy published on our website, as from time to time amended, shall apply.
