What is this privacy policy about?

Deleproject AG (hereinafter also referred to as "we", "us") obtains and processes personal data concerning you or other persons (so-called "third parties"). We use the term "data" here synonymously with "personal data" or "personal information".

If you provide us with personal data of other persons, please ensure that these persons are aware of this Privacy Policy and that you are authorised to provide us with the relevant personal data.

This Privacy Policy is designed to meet the requirements of the Swiss Data Protection Act ("DSG") and the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). However, whether and to what extent these laws are applicable depends on the individual case.

What is personal data?

"Personal data" refers to data that relates to specific or identifiable natural persons, i.e. it is possible to draw conclusions about their identity on the basis of the data itself or with corresponding additional data. Below you will find details of the data that we process within the scope of this data protection declaration. "Processing" means any handling of personal data, e.g. obtaining, saving, storing, using, modifying, disclosing and deleting. The term "processing" (DSG) is used synonymously with "processing" (GDPR) in this privacy policy.

What personal data do we process?

We process various categories of data about you. The most important categories are as follows:

Technical data: When you use our website or other electronic offers (e.g. free WLAN), we collect the IP address of your end device and other technical data to ensure the functionality and security of these offers. This data also includes logs in which the use of our systems is recorded. We generally store technical data for 24 months. To ensure the functionality of these offers, we can also assign you or your end device an individual code (e.g. in the form of a cookie, see below). The technical data itself does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. However, in the context of user accounts, registrations, access controls or the processing of contracts, you may be linked to other categories of data (and thus possibly to your person).

Registration data: Certain offers and services (e.g. newsletter dispatch, free WLAN access, ticket system, etc.) can only be used with a user account or registration, which can be done directly with us or via our external login service providers. In doing so, you must provide us with certain data and we collect data on the use of the offer or service. We generally retain registration data for 12 months after the end of the use of the service or the cancellation of the user account.

Communication data: If you are in contact with us via the contact form, by e-mail, telephone or chat, by letter or other means of communication, we collect the data exchanged between you and us, including your contact details and the marginal data of the communication. If we want or need to establish your identity, we collect data to identify you (e.g. a copy of an identity document). We generally store this data for 12 months from the last exchange with you. This period may be longer if this is necessary for reasons of proof or to comply with legal or contractual requirements or for technical reasons. E-mails in personal mailboxes and written correspondence are generally stored for several years.

Master data: We define master data as the basic data that we require in addition to the contract data (see below) for the processing of our contractual and other business relationships or for marketing and advertising purposes, such as name, contact details and information, e.g. about your role and function, your bank account(s), your date of birth, customer history, powers of attorney, signature authorisations and declarations of consent. We process your master data if you are a customer or other business contact or work for one (e.g. as a contact person of the business partner), or because we want to contact you for our own purposes or the purposes of a contractual partner (e.g. as part of marketing and advertising, with invitations to events, with newsletters, etc.). We receive master data from you yourself (e.g. at trade fair events, when making a purchase or as part of a registration), from organisations for which you work or from third parties such as our contractual partners, associations and address dealers and from publicly accessible sources such as public registers or the Internet (websites, social media, etc.). As a rule, we store this data for 10 years from the last exchange with you, but at least from the end of the contract. This period may be longer if this is necessary for reasons of proof or to comply with legal or contractual requirements or for technical reasons.

Contract data: This is data that arises in connection with the conclusion or processing of a contract, e.g. information on contracts and the services to be provided or provided, as well as data from the run-up to the conclusion of a contract, the information required or used for processing and information on reactions (e.g. complaints or information on satisfaction, etc.). We generally collect this data from you, from contractual partners and from third parties involved in the processing of the contract, but also from third-party sources (e.g. providers of creditworthiness data) and from publicly accessible sources. As a rule, we store this data for 10 years from the last contractual activity, but at least from the end of the contract. This period may be longer if this is necessary for reasons of proof or to comply with legal or contractual requirements or for technical reasons.

Behavioural and preference data: Depending on the relationship we have with you, we try to get to know you and better tailor our products, services and offers to you. To do this, we collect and use data about your behaviour and preferences. We do this by evaluating information about your behaviour in our area, and we can also supplement this information with data from third parties, including from publicly accessible sources. Based on this, we can, for example, calculate the probability that you will use certain services or behave in a certain way. Some of the data processed for this purpose is already known to us (e.g. when you use our services), or we obtain this data by recording your behaviour (e.g. how you navigate our website). We anonymise or delete this data when it is no longer relevant for the purposes pursued, which can be between 2-3 weeks and 24 months (for product and service preferences), depending on the type of data. This period may be longer if this is necessary for reasons of proof or to comply with legal or contractual requirements or for technical reasons. How tracking works on our website is explained in more detail below.

Application data: If you apply for a job in our company, we will receive information about you from you or from third parties who advertise jobs on our behalf. This includes contact details (e.g. name, address, date of birth, marital status, etc.), information that you have disclosed to us during the selection process and other information about your professional and academic qualifications. If necessary, we process further information about you that is provided to us by third parties (e.g. details from official registers, references and information from public and professional networks). If you have given your consent, we will use your personal data to contact you in the event of any future job offers, provided that we have a legitimate interest in retaining your data or for as long as retention is required or permitted under applicable law. If no employment contract has been concluded with you, your personal data will be deleted after 6 months at the latest.

Other data: We also collect data from you in other situations. In connection with hearing or court proceedings, for example, data is collected (such as files, evidence, etc.) that may also relate to you. We may also collect data for health protection reasons (e.g. as part of protection concepts). We may receive or produce photos, videos and audio recordings in which you may be recognisable (e.g. at events, through security cameras, etc.). We may also collect data about who enters certain buildings and when, or has corresponding access rights (including in the case of access controls, based on registration data or visitor lists, etc.), who takes part in events or campaigns and when, or who uses our infrastructure and systems and when. The retention period for this data depends on the purpose and is limited to what is necessary. This ranges from a few days to several years or longer for reports on events with images.

You provide us with much of the data mentioned here yourself (e.g. via forms, as part of communication with us, in connection with contracts, when using the website, etc.). You are not obliged to do so, with the exception of individual cases, e.g. in the context of binding protection concepts (legal obligations). If you wish to conclude contracts with us or request services, you must also provide us with data as part of your contractual obligation in accordance with the relevant contract, in particular master data, contract data and registration data. When using our website, the processing of technical data is unavoidable. If you wish to gain access to certain systems or buildings, you must provide us with registration data.

Where permitted, we also obtain certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, the press or the Internet including social media) or receive such data from other companies within the Rychiger Group, from authorities and other third parties.

Why and for what purposes do we process your personal data?

We process your data for the purposes explained below. Further information for the online area can be found below. These purposes and the underlying objectives represent our legitimate interests and those of third parties where applicable.

We process your data for purposes related to communication with you, in particular to respond to enquiries and assert your rights and to contact you in the event of queries. In particular, we use communication data and master data for this purpose. We retain this data to document our communication with you, for training purposes, for quality assurance and for enquiries.

We process data for the establishment, administration and processing of contractual relationships.

We process data for marketing purposes and to maintain relationships, e.g. to send our customers and other contractual partners personalised advertising about our products and services and those of third parties. This may take the form of newsletters and other regular contacts (electronically, by post, by telephone), via other channels for which we have contact information from you, but also as part of individual marketing campaigns (e.g. events, competitions, etc.) and may also include free services (e.g. invitations, vouchers, etc.). You can reject such contacts at any time or refuse or revoke your consent to be contacted for advertising purposes. With your consent, we can target our online advertising on the Internet more specifically to you.

We also process your data for market research, to improve our services and operations and for product development.

We may also process your data for security purposes and for access control.

We process personal data to comply with laws, instructions and recommendations from authorities and internal regulations ("compliance").

We also process data for risk management purposes and as part of prudent business management, including business organisation and business development.

We process your data in order to assess whether you are qualified for the position for which you have applied.

We may process your data for other purposes, e.g. as part of our internal processes and administration or for training and quality assurance purposes.

On what basis do we process your data?

If we ask for your consent for certain processing, we will inform you separately about the corresponding purposes of the processing. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by sending us written notification (by post) or, unless otherwise stated or agreed, by e-mail. Our contact details can be found above. To revoke your consent for online tracking, see below. Where you have a user account, you may also be able to withdraw your consent or contact us via the relevant website or other service. Once we have received notification of the withdrawal of your consent, we will no longer process your data for the purposes to which you originally consented, unless we have another legal basis for doing so. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Where we do not ask for your consent for processing, we base the processing of your personal data on the fact that the processing is necessary for the initiation or execution of a contract with you (or the entity you represent) or that we or third parties have a legitimate interest in it, in particular in order to pursue the purposes described above and the associated objectives and to be able to carry out corresponding measures. Our legitimate interests also include compliance with statutory provisions, unless this is already recognised as a legal basis by the applicable data protection law (e.g. in the case of the GDPR, the law in the EEA and Switzerland).

If we receive sensitive data (e.g. health data, information on political, religious or ideological views or biometric data for identification), we may also process your data based on other legal bases, e.g. in the event of disputes due to the necessity of processing for any litigation or the enforcement or defence of legal claims. In individual cases, other legal grounds may apply, which we will communicate to you separately if necessary.

To whom do we disclose your personal data?

In connection with our contracts, the website, our services and products, our legal obligations or otherwise to protect our legitimate interests and the other purposes listed above, we also transfer your personal data to third parties, in particular to the following categories of recipients:

Service providers: we work with service providers in Switzerland and abroad who process data about you on our behalf or under joint responsibility with us or who receive data about you from us under their own responsibility (e.g. IT providers, mail order companies, advertising service providers, login service providers, banks, insurance companies, debt collection companies, credit agencies or address verifiers).

Contractual partners including customers: This initially refers to customers and other contractual partners of ours, because this data transfer arises from these contracts. If you work for such a contractual partner yourself, we may also transfer data about you to them in this context. The recipients also include contractual partners with whom we co-operate.

Authorities: We may disclose personal data to offices, courts and other authorities in Switzerland and abroad if we are legally obliged or authorised to do so or if this appears necessary to protect our interests. The authorities process data about you that they receive from us under their own responsibility.

Group companies: We may transfer your personal data to other companies in the Rychiger Group.

Other persons: This refers to other cases where the involvement of third parties arises from the purposes as described above.

All these categories of recipients may in turn involve third parties, so that your data may also become accessible to them. We can restrict processing by certain third parties (e.g. IT providers), but not by other third parties (e.g. authorities, banks, etc.).

Otherwise (e.g. during the application process), only persons who need to process the data due to their job have access to your personal data internally.

Our website is hosted by Comvation AG, 3600 Thun. In order to optimise and maintain our website, we log any technical errors that may occur when you visit our website. Furthermore, the following information is automatically collected when you use our website, which is transmitted by the browser on your end device:

  • IP address

  • Date and time of the enquiry

  • pages, files and data accessed

  • the status code (e.g. 404)

  • the website from which the access was made

  • Top-level domain (e.g. ".com")

  • Web browser used, version, language

  • Operating system used by the end device

  • the transmission protocol used (e.g. HTTP/2)

This data is collected and stored in order to optimise processes and procedures, in particular in connection with the use of our website, such as the security and stability of the computer system.

Is your data also sent abroad?

As explained above, we also disclose data to other recipients. These are not only located in Switzerland. Your data may therefore be processed both in Europe and in the USA, but in exceptional cases in any other country in the world.

Please also note that data exchanged via the Internet is often routed via third countries. Your data may therefore be sent abroad even if the sender and recipient are located in the same country.

How long do we store your data?

In principle, we delete personal data as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, unless longer storage is necessary to fulfil legal obligations (e.g. retention and documentation obligations), contractual or pre-contractual obligations or our legitimate business interests (e.g. for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims).

How do we protect your data?

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your personal data, to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful processing and to counteract the risks of loss, unintentional modification, unwanted disclosure or unauthorised access.

Such measures include, for example, the encryption and pseudonymisation of data, logging, access restrictions, the storage of backup copies, instructions to our employees, confidentiality agreements and controls. We also oblige our contract processors to take appropriate measures. However, security risks cannot generally be completely ruled out and residual risks are unavoidable.

Do we make automated decisions in individual cases?

We do not engage in profiling and do not process data for automated individual decisions. This does not include profiling for the purpose of direct marketing, where the processing is based on our legitimate interest.

What rights do you have?

Under certain circumstances, the applicable data protection law grants you the right to object to the processing of your data, in particular for the purposes of direct marketing, profiling for direct advertising and other legitimate interests in processing.

To make it easier for you to control the processing of your personal data, you also have the following rights in connection with our data processing, depending on the applicable data protection law:

  • The right to request information from us as to whether and which of your data we are processing;

  • the right to have us correct data if it is incorrect;

  • the right to request the deletion of data;

  • the right to request that we provide you with certain personal data in a commonly used electronic format or transfer it to another controller

  • the right to withdraw consent where our processing is based on your consent

  • the right to request further information necessary for the exercise of these rights.

If you wish to exercise the above rights against us, please contact us in writing or by e-mail. So that we can rule out misuse, we must identify you (e.g. with a copy of your ID, if this is not otherwise possible).

You also have these rights vis-à-vis other organisations that work with us on their own responsibility. Please contact them directly if you wish to exercise rights in connection with their processing.

Please note that these rights are subject to conditions, exceptions or restrictions under the applicable data protection law (e.g. to protect third parties or business secrets). We will inform you accordingly if necessary.

If you do not agree with our handling of your rights or data protection, please let us know.

Do we use online tracking and online advertising technologies?

We use various technologies on our website with which we and third parties engaged by us can recognise you when you use our website and, under certain circumstances, track you over several visits. We will inform you about this in this section.

Essentially, this is so that we can distinguish between your access (via your system) and access by other users, so that we can ensure the functionality of the website and carry out analyses and personalisation. We do not want to infer your identity, even if we can, insofar as we or third parties engaged by us can identify you by combining this with registration data. Even without registration data, however, the technologies used are designed in such a way that you are recognised as an individual visitor each time you visit the site, for example by our server (or the servers of third parties) assigning you or your browser a specific identification number (so-called "cookie").

We use such technologies on our website and allow certain third parties to do the same. You can programme your browser to block or deceive certain cookies or alternative technologies or delete existing cookies. You can also add software to your browser that blocks tracking by certain third parties. Further information on this can be found on the help pages of your browser (usually under the heading "Data protection") or on the websites of the third parties listed below.

A distinction is made between the following cookies:

Necessary and functional cookies: Some cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website as such or certain functions. They ensure, for example, that you can switch between pages without losing the information entered in a form. They also ensure that you remain logged in. These cookies are only temporary ("session cookies"). Other cookies are necessary so that the server can store decisions or entries made by you beyond one session (i.e. one visit to the website) if you use this function (e.g. selected language, consent given, the function for automatic log-in, etc.). These cookies have an expiry date of up to 24 months.

Performance cookies: In order to optimise our website and corresponding offers and to better tailor them to the needs of users, we use cookies to record and analyse the use of our website, possibly even beyond the session. We do this by using third-party analytics services. We have listed these below. Performance cookies also have an expiry date of up to 24 months. Details can be found on the websites of the third-party providers.

Marketing cookies: We and our advertising contract partners have an interest in targeting advertising precisely, i.e. only displaying it to those we want to address. We have listed our advertising contract partners below. For this purpose, we and our advertising contract partners - if you consent - also use cookies with which the content accessed or contracts concluded can be recorded. This enables us and our advertising contract partners to display adverts that we can assume are of interest to you on our website, but also on other websites that display adverts from us or our advertising contract partners. Depending on the situation, these cookies have an expiry period of a few days to 12 months. If you consent to the use of these cookies, you will be shown the relevant adverts. If you do not consent to these cookies, you will not see fewer adverts, but simply any other adverts.

What data do we process on our pages and in social networks?

We may operate pages and other online presences ("fan pages", "channels", "profiles", etc.) on social networks and other platforms operated by third parties and collect the data about you described above and below. We receive this data from you and the platforms when you come into contact with us via our online presence (e.g. when you communicate with us, comment on our content or visit our presence). At the same time, the platforms evaluate your use of our online presence and link this data with other data about you known to the platforms (e.g. about your behaviour and preferences). They also process this data for their own purposes under their own responsibility, in particular for marketing and market research purposes (e.g. to personalise advertising) and to control their platforms (e.g. which content they display to you).

We process this data for the purposes described above, in particular for communication, marketing purposes (including advertising on these platforms) and market research. We may redistribute content published by you (e.g. comments on an announcement) ourselves (e.g. in our advertising on the platform or elsewhere). We or the operators of the platforms may also delete or restrict content from or about you in accordance with the usage guidelines (e.g. inappropriate comments).

For further information on the processing of the platform operators, please refer to the data protection notices of the platforms. There you can also find out in which countries they process your data, which rights of access, erasure and other rights of data subjects you have and how you can exercise these or obtain further information. We currently use the following platforms

LinkedIn: Here we operate the page https://www.linkedin.com/company/deleproject. The controller for the operation of the platform for users from Europe is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Dublin, Ireland. Their privacy policy is available at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy? Some of your data will be transferred to the USA.

Can this privacy policy be changed?

We may amend this privacy policy at any time without prior notice, as it is not part of a contract with you. The current version published on our website applies.
