  • DATA PROCESSING IN CONNECTION WITH OUR WEBSITE

    What data do we collect when you visit our website?

    When you visit our website, our servers temporarily store each access in a log file. The following technical data is collected without your intervention and stored by us until automated deletion, as in principle with every connection to a web server:

    • the IP address of the requesting computer,
    • the operating system of your computer,
    • the browser you are using (type, version, and language),
    • name of the IP address range,
    • the date and time of the server request,
    • the web page from which access was made (referrer URL), possibly with the search terms used, and
    • the status code (for example, error message, debug information).

    The collection and processing of these data are carried out for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (establishing a connection), ensuring system security and stability over the long term, and optimizing our internet offering as well as for internal statistical purposes. It is within our legitimate interest to process such data to ensure a functioning website service.

    The IP address will also be used together with the other data in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorized or abusive use of the website to identify offenders in connection with civil or criminal proceedings. The processing of this data is in our legitimate interest to track your visit to our website and to improve the website accordingly.

  • STORAGE AND EXCHANGE OF DATA WITH THIRD PARTIES

    How long will my data be kept?

    We only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the above described uses or if a longer retention period is prescribed by statutory obligations. If we no longer need this data to carry out the services for you, the data will be blocked for all other purposes. This means that the data may then only be used for accounting and tax purposes.


    Will my data be disclosed to other third parties?

    We only disclose your personal data to other third parties if you have expressly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular, to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship. In addition, we disclose your data to third parties insofar as this is necessary for the use of the website.

    Links and social plug-ins

    We have embedded links on our website to the websites of third parties. If you access such links from our website, it may be that data is disclosed to the owner of the website that you are accessing. Please also note that we have no control over the privacy policies, contents, or security safeguards of the providers of these websites, and, as such, may not be held responsible in any way for the actions, as well as the privacy policy, content, and any other matter regarding these third parties.

    We also offer you the possibility to directly send each employee of Founderful AG an e-mail by clicking on the individual mail address. By doing so, the embedded link automatically opens up a blank e-mail. This creates an interface between our website and your e-mail application.

    In addition, we also use social plug-ins, such as LinkedIn. We offer you the possibility to directly share content or connect with us by clicking on the respective button on the website with LinkedIn. We cannot influence what data these platforms process.

    Do we transfer personal data abroad?

    We are entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties (contracted service providers) abroad for the purpose of the data processing described in this privacy policy. These are bound to protect data to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or in the EU/ EEA, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or in the EU/ EEA at all times.

  • ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW?

    You have a right of access, rectification, deletion and limitation of the processing as well as of data transferability

    You have a right to request information about the personal data that we store about you. In addition, you have a right to correct incorrect data and a right to request the deletion of your personal data, insofar as there is no legal obligation to retain such data and no legal basis for further processing the existing data.

    You also have a right to request the data that you have provided to us (right to data portability). Upon request, we will transfer your data to a third party of your choice. You have a right to receive the data in a common file format.

    In many countries, you also have the right to file a complaint with the relevant data protection authority if you have concerns about how we process your data.

    These rights depend on the applicable data protection legislation and may be either more limited or more comprehensive.


    Is your data safe with us?

    We use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss and against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

    Whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration of information will never occur, we use reasonable efforts to prevent it. No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, and we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you provide to us.


    Can you complain about us?

    You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority at any time.


    Can this policy be amended?
