5 OFFENLEGUNG IHRER PERSÖNLICHEN DATEN

Möglicherweise müssen wir Ihre persönlichen Daten an die unten aufgeführten Parteien weitergeben: • Service providers who provide IT and system administration services. • Professional consultants such as lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers. • People who receive our advertising with reviews • Authorities that require us to report processing operations. • Third parties such as copywriters, account managers and virtual assistants. • Third parties to whom we sell, transfer or merge parts of our business or assets. We ask all third parties to whom we pass on your data to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We allow these third parties to process your personal data only for specific purposes and according to our instructions.

6 TRANSMISSIONS TO THIRD COUNTRIES

Countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) do not always offer the same level of protection for your personal data, which is why European law has prohibited the transfer of personal data outside the EEA unless the transfer meets certain criteria.
Many of our third-party providers are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA), so the processing of your personal data requires the transfer of data outside the EEA. If we transfer your personal data from the EEA, we will do our best to ensure a similar level of data security by using at least one of the following: • We will only transfer your personal data to countries that are considered by the European Commission to offer an adequate level of protection for personal data; or • If we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts or codes of conduct or certification mechanisms approved by the European Commission that offer personal data the same level of protection as in Europe. • If we use service providers located in the United States, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the EU-US data protection shield, which requires them to provide a level of protection similar to that provided for personal data shared between Europe and the United States. If none of the above safeguards are available, we may ask you for your express consent to such transfer. You have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. If none of the above fuses are available, we may ask you for your express consent to this transfer. You have the right to revoke this consent at any time.

7 SECURITY MEASURES

We have taken reasonable security precautions to prevent your personal information from being inadvertently lost, used or accessed, altered or disclosed in an unauthorized manner. In addition, we restrict access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know that information. You will process your personal data only on our instructions and are subject to the obligation of secrecy. We have established procedures to deal with any suspected breach of personal data and will notify you and the relevant authorities of any breach if we are required to do so by law.

8 DATA RETENTION

We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes we collect, including the fulfilment of legal, accounting or reporting obligations.
For tax purposes, the law requires that we retain basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, business communications, financial and transactional information) for ten years after they cease to be customers.
Under certain circumstances, we may make your personal information anonymous for research or statistical purposes, and we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

9 YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

In accordance with the privacy laws, you have the right to access, rectification, cancellation, restriction, transfer, opposition to processing, transferability of data and (if the legitimate reason for processing is consent) the withdrawal of consent. More about these rights you can find out here If you wish to exercise any of the above rights, please send us an e-mail to info@sandykaufmann.ch. You do not have to pay any fee to access (or exercise any other rights) your personal information. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. We may need to request specific information from you to confirm your identity and to ensure your right to access your personal information (or exercise your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to persons who are not entitled to it. We may also contact you to ask for further information regarding your request in order to expedite our response. We try to answer all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made multiple requests. In this case we will notify you. If you do not agree with the way we collect and use your data, you have the right to complain about data protection issues. You can read more about these rights here: https://www.eugdpr.org/. We would be grateful if you would contact us first if you have a complaint so that we can try to resolve it for you.
