Data protection

1. fundamentals

With this privacy policy, we inform you which personal data we process, how, for what purpose and where. This applies in particular to our website bureau-k.ch and our other services. At the same time, we provide information about the rights of persons whose data we process.

Our offer is subject to Swiss data protection law and applicable foreign data protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union.

2. responsibility for data protection and data protection officer

The responsibility for the processing of personal data lies with bureau K. SA, 3073 Gümligen, bureau-k.ch.

3. processing of personal data

3.1 Legal matters

"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A "data subject" is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used. Processing refers in particular to the collection, procurement, use, disclosure, storage, retention, modification and deletion of personal data.

We process personal data in accordance with, in particular, the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the associated Ordinance to the Federal Act on Data Protection (OFADP). Insofar as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applicable, we process personal data in accordance with at least one of the following legal bases: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, b, c, d, e and/or f GDPR.

3.2 Type, scope and purpose

We process personal data that is required to provide our services in a permanent, reliable, secure and user-friendly manner. This may include personal data from the categories of inventory data, contact data, browser data, device data, content data, usage data, metadata, location data, contract data, sales data and payment data.

We process personal data for the duration required for the respective purpose or by law. Personal data that no longer needs to be processed is deleted or anonymized. In principle, we only process personal data with the consent of the data subject, unless the processing is permitted for other legal reasons (e.g. to fulfill a contract with the data subject, for pre-contractual measures, because the processing is evident from the circumstances, to protect our overriding legitimate interests or after prior information). Persons whose data we process generally have a right to erasure.

In particular, we process data that a data subject voluntarily and personally transmits to us when contacting us. We may store such data in a suitable tool (address book, CRM, etc.). If you transmit personal data to us via third parties, you are obliged to guarantee data protection vis-à-vis these third parties and to ensure the accuracy of such personal data.

We also process personal data that we obtain from publicly accessible sources, receive from third parties or collect when providing our services, if and to the extent that such processing is permitted by law.

We process personal data from job applications only to the extent necessary to assess suitability for employment or to draw up an employment contract. We do not retain any personal data from applications.

3.3 Processing of personal data by third parties

We may have personal data processed by commissioned third parties or process it jointly with third parties or transfer it to third parties. These are in particular providers whose services we use. We also guarantee appropriate data protection for such third parties. Such third parties are generally located in Switzerland, but may also be located in other countries, provided that their data protection law guarantees adequate data protection in the opinion of the Federal Data Protection Commissioner and, if the GDPR is applicable, the European Commission, or if adequate data protection is guaranteed for other reasons (e.g. by contractual agreement, standard contractual clauses, appropriate certification).

3.4 The rights of data subjects

Data subjects whose personal data we process have rights under Swiss data protection law. These include the right to information and the right to rectification, blocking or erasure of the processed personal data.

If and to the extent that the GDPR is applicable, data subjects may request confirmation as to whether we process their personal data and, if so, request information about this, have the processing of their personal data restricted, exercise their right to data portability and have their personal data rectified, completed, blocked or erased.

If and insofar as the GDPR is applicable, data subjects can object to the processing of their personal data at any time and revoke any consent given for this at any time.

Data subjects whose personal data we process have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority (in Switzerland, the FDPIC).

4. data security

We take appropriate and suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure data protection and data security. However, despite such measures, the processing of personal data on the Internet can always have security gaps. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute data security.

Access to our online offer takes place by means of transport encryption (SSL / TLS, in particular with HTTPS = Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure). Access is subject to mass surveillance and other monitoring by security authorities (in Switzerland, the EU, the USA and other countries), as is generally the case with all Internet use. We have no influence on the processing of personal data by security authorities.
