If permitted, we also gather certain data from publicly accessible sources (such as the commercial register, media, Internet, land register and debt collection register) or obtain it from authorities or other third parties. The personal data that we process may include your name, surname, business address, e-mail address, telephone number and job title and that of your colleagues.In addition to the data that you provide us with directly, this also includes the categories of personal data that we obtain from third parties about you, particularly information from public registers, information that we become aware of in connection with official or legal proceedings, information in connection with your professional roles and activities (so that, with your assistance, we may e.g. conclude or undertake business with your employer), information about you in correspondence and discussions with third parties, credit checks (if we undertake personal business with you), information about you that we receive from people with whom you are associated (family, advisers, legal representatives, etc.), to enable us to conclude or undertake agreements with you or involving you (e.g. references, your address for deliveries, powers of attorney, information on compliance with legal provisions, such as combating money laundering and export restrictions), information from banks, insurance companies, sales and other partners with whom we have agreements, for the use or provision of services by you (e.g. payments or purchases made), information from the media or the Internet about you (if this is indicated in the specific case, e.g. with regard to an application, press review, marketing/sales, etc.), your addresses and interests, if appropriate, and other sociodemographic data (for marketing), data in connection with website usage (e.g. IP address, MAC address of the smartphone or computer, information about your device and settings, cookies, date and time of your visit, pages and content accessed, functions used, referencing websites, location information).

Cookies/tracking and other technologies in connection with the use of our website

Our websites typically use “cookies” and similar technologies which are used to enable identification of your browser or device. A cookie is a small file sent to your computer or saved automatically to your computer or mobile device by your browser when you visit our website. This enables us to recognise you when you access this website again, even though we do not know who you are. In addition to cookies that are only used during a session and that are deleted after you leave the website (“session cookies”), cookies can also be used to store user settings and other information for a specific period of time (“permanent cookies”). However, you can amend the settings in your browser to reject cookies, to save them for one session only or to delete them prior to their expiry date. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. We use permanent cookies to enable you to save your user settings (e.g. language, auto login), and to enable us to understand you better in terms of how you use our services and content. Some cookies are set by us and some are also set by the contract partners with whom we collaborate. If you block cookies, certain functionalities (such as choice of language) may no longer work.

In some instances, and if permitted, we integrate visible and invisible image elements in our newsletters and other marketing e-mails, such that when these access our server, we can identify whether and when you have opened the e-mail, so that we can measure this and also have a better understanding of how you use our services to enable us to tailor these to suit your interests. You can block this in your e-mail program; most programs are set to do this.

By using our websites and giving your consent to receive newsletters and other marketing e-mails, you agree to the use of this technology. If you are not happy with this arrangement, you need to amend your browser or e-mail pro-gram settings accordingly.

If permitted and if we consider it to be appropriate, Moser-Baer AG shall also disclose personal data to third parties, within the scope of business activities in accordance with clause 4, if this is necessary for processing a business transaction. This covers the following parties, collectively referred to as the recipient:

  • Providers of services to Moser-Baer AG (such as banks, insurance companies, IT providers, installation compa-nies, freight forwarders, etc.);
  • Retailers, manufacturers, suppliers, subcontractors and other business partners;
  • Agencies, authorities or courts, at home and abroad;
  • Other parties in potential or actual legal proceedings;
  • Other companies within the Moser-Baer Group.

Recipients may be located at home or abroad. In particular, you must bear in mind that your data may be transferred to any country in which manufacturers, suppliers, service providers, or companies within the Moser-Baer Group are represented. If Moser-Baer AG transmits data to a country that does not have appropriate legal data protection, we ensure an adequate level of protection through the use of appropriate agreements. In doing this, we make particular use of what are known as standard contractual clauses stipulated by the European Commission, which can be ac-cessed here , here and here , or rules known as binding corporate rules for an appropriate level of protection or we rely on the legal exceptions of consent, contract processing, determination, exercise or enforcement of legal claims, predominant public interests, published personal data or because it is necessary to protect the integrity of the person concerned.

 

Retention period for personal data

Moser-Baer AG processes and stores your personal data for as long as it is required for the fulfilment of contractual and legal obligations or other purposes monitored for processing and also in accordance with legal retention and documentation obligations. At the same time, personal data may be retained for the period in which claims against our company may be asserted, and if we are otherwise legally required to retain it, or if it is necessary for a legitimate business interest (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the aforementioned purposes, it will be deleted, or anonymised, as far as this is possible.

 

Measures to protect your data

Moser-Baer AG takes appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access and misuse, such as controlling access to buildings, network security, employee training, encryption of data, media, etc.

The security guidelines and procedures are reviewed regularly to enable us to determine the effectiveness of technical and operational measures.

 

Rights of the person concerned

Within the context of the data protection law applicable to you and as far as provision is made (such as in the case of the GDPR), you have the right to information, amendment, deletion and otherwise restriction of data processing and to object to our processing your data and to the publishing of certain personal data for the purpose of transmission elsewhere (known as data portability). However, please note that we reserve the right to assert the limitations provided for by law, if, for example, we are obliged to retain or process certain data, have a major interest in this data (provided that we may rely on that) or if it is required for the enforcement of any claims. If charges are payable, we shall inform you in advance. We have already informed you of the option to revoke your consent in clause 3. Please note that exercising these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have consequences, such as early contract termination or cost implications. If this is the case, we shall inform you in advance, if this is not already covered by the contract.

Exercising these rights usually requires you to provide clear proof of your identity (e.g. by providing a copy of your ID card or passport if your identity is not otherwise clear or cannot be verified). To exercise your rights, you may contact us at the address specified in clause 1.

Furthermore, all persons concerned have the right to assert their claims or submit a complaint to the responsible data protection authority. The responsible data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

  1. Contain the breach and perform a preliminary assessment.
  2. Evaluate the risk for the parties concerned.
  3. Provide information about the breach of data protection swiftly as possible in accordance with legal requirements.
