What data do we collect?
Below is an overview of the data we may collect:
-
Non-identifiable and non-identifiable information that you provide during the registration process or that is collected through your use of our services ("Non-Personal Data"). Non-Personal Data does not identify who it was collected from. Non-Personal Information that we collect consists primarily of technical and aggregate usage data.
-
Individually Identifiable Information, which is any information that can be used to identify you or that can be used to identify you with reasonable effort ("Personal Data"). The Personal Data we collect through our Services may include information requested from time to time, such as names, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, IP addresses and more. When we combine Personal Data with non-Personal Data, we treat it as Personal Data while it is in combination.
How do we collect data?
Below are the main ways we collect data:

We collect data when you use our services. So when you visit our digital resources and use services, we may collect, record and store usage data, session data and related information.

We collect data that you provide to us yourself, for example when you contact us directly through a communication channel (e.g. an email with a comment or feedback).
-
We may collect data from third party sources as described below.

We collect data that you provide to us when you sign up to our services through a third party provider such as Facebook or Google.

Who do we share this data with?
We may share your data with our service providers in order to operate our services (e.g. storing data via third party hosting services, providing technical support etc.).
We may also share your information in the following circumstances:
(i) to investigate, detect, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities or other misconduct;

Cookies and similar technologies
When you visit or access our Services, we authorise third parties to use web beacons, cookies, pixel tags, scripts and other technologies and analytics services ("Tracking Technologies"). These Tracking Technologies may allow third parties to automatically collect your information to improve navigation on our digital resources, optimise their performance and provide a tailored user experience, as well as for security and fraud prevention purposes.
We do not share your email address or other personal information with advertisers or advertising networks without your consent.
Use of your data for advertising purposes
We may provide advertisements through our Services and our digital resources (including websites and applications that use our Services) that may also be tailored to you, such as advertisements based on your recent website, device or browser browsing behaviour.
To display these advertisements to you, we may use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including translucent GIFs) and/or HTML5 Local Storage and/or other technologies. We may also use third parties, such as advertising networks (i.e. third parties that serve ads based on your website visits), to serve targeted ads. Third-party ad networks, advertisers, sponsors and/or website traffic measurement services may also use cookies and/or JavaScript and/or web beacons (including translucent GIFs) and/or Flash cookies and/or other technologies to measure the effectiveness of their advertising and customise advertising content for you. These third party cookies and other technologies are subject to the third party's specific privacy policy and not this policy.
Where do we store the data?
Non-personal data
Please note that our businesses and our trusted partners and service providers are located around the world. For the purposes explained in this Privacy Policy, we store and process any non-personal data we collect in various jurisdictions.
Personal Data
Personal data may be held, processed and stored in the United States, Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Israel and, to the extent necessary for the proper provision of our services and/or required by law (as further explained below), in other countries.
How long will the data be stored?
Please note that we will retain the data we collect for as long as is necessary to provide our services, fulfil our legal and contractual obligations to you, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements.
We may correct, amend or delete inaccurate or incomplete data at any time at our sole discretion.
How do we protect the data?
The hosting service for our digital assets provides us with the online platform through which we can provide our services to you. Your data may be stored via our hosting provider's data stores, databases and general applications. It stores your data on secure servers behind a firewall and provides secure HTTPS access to most areas of its services.
Notwithstanding the measures and efforts taken by us and our hosting provider, we cannot guarantee the absolute protection and security of the data you upload, post or otherwise share with us or others.
For this reason, we ask that you use strong passwords and, where possible, do not provide us or others with confidential information that you believe could cause you significant or lasting harm if disclosed. In addition, because email and instant messaging are not considered secure forms of communication, we ask that you do not share confidential information through these communication channels.
We will only use your personal information for the purposes set out in the Privacy Policy and only if we are satisfied that:
-
The use of your personal data is necessary to perform or enter into a contract (e.g. to provide you with the services themselves or customer service or technical support);
-
the use of your personal data is necessary to comply with relevant legal or regulatory obligations; or
-
the use of your personal data is necessary to support our legitimate business interests (provided that at all times this is done in a way that is proportionate and respects your data protection rights)
You may:
-
request confirmation as to whether or not personal data relating to you is being processed and request access to your personal data held and certain additional information;
-
request that the personal data you have provided to us be sent to you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format;
-
request the rectification of your personal data held by us;
-
request the deletion of your personal data;
-
object to the processing of your personal data by us;
-
request the restriction of the processing of your personal data; or
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
However, please note that these rights are not unlimited and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and legal requirements. If you have any general questions about the personal data we collect and how we use it, please contact us as set out below.
In the course of providing the Services, we may transfer data across borders to affiliates or other third parties and from your country/jurisdiction to other countries/jurisdictions around the world. By using the Services, you consent to the transfer of your data to countries outside of Switzerland.
If you are in the EEA, your personal data will only be transferred to locations outside the EEA if we are satisfied that an adequate or comparable level of protection for personal data exists there. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that we have adequate contractual arrangements in place with our third parties to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place so that the risk of unlawful use, alteration, deletion, loss or theft of your personal data is minimised and that such third parties act at all times in accordance with applicable laws.
We do not sell users' personal data.
Updates or Changes to the Privacy Policy
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time at our discretion, but the version published on the Website will always be up to date (see the "Up to date" statement). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for changes. In the event of any material changes, we will post a notice to that effect on our website. Your continued use of the Services after we have posted a notice of changes on our Website will be deemed to be your acknowledgement and consent to the changes in the Privacy Policy and your agreement to be bound by the terms of those changes.
