        3.1. Use when visiting the website
        When accessing our website, your internet browser auto­mat­i­cally trans­mits DATA for tech­nical reasons, even during purely infor­ma­tive use or viewing of the website, in order to ensure correct display as well as stability and secu­rity. The following DATA are stored sepa­rately from other data that you may transmit to us:

        • IP address
        • Date and time of access
        • Access status/​HTTP status code
        • Browser type/​version/​language
        • Oper­ating system used
        • URL of the previ­ously visited website
        • Amount of data transferred
        • Website from which the request came
        • Browser
        • Oper­ating system and its interface
        • Language and version of the browser software

        Those DATA are stored in partic­ular for tech­ni­cally neces­sary reasons. In addi­tion, we store these DATA for a limited period of time in order to initiate a deriva­tion to personal DATA in the event of unau­tho­rized access or attempted access to our cloud solu­tion. The processing of your DATA described in this para­graph takes place in compli­ance with the prin­ciple of legality, the prin­ciple of accu­racy, the prin­ciple of propor­tion­ality, the prin­ciple of trans­parency, the prin­ciple of purpose limi­ta­tion and the consent of the DATA subject, taking into account the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.

        3.2 Use for e‑mail enquiries
        You can contact us via the e‑mail address (info@​alpinumlaw.​ch) provided on our website. If you send us an email, we will collect, store and use your email address where provided:

        • Name
        • Full address details
        • Land­line and/​or mobile phone number
        • E‑mail address
        • Content of your message

        The data will only be processed to the extent neces­sary to process your enquiry and for corre­spon­dence with you.

        The DATA collected serve the sole purpose of being able to process your request. The processing of your DATA, which is described in this para­graph, takes place in compli­ance with the prin­ciple of legality, the prin­ciple of accu­racy, the prin­ciple of propor­tion­ality, the prin­ciple of trans­parency, the prin­ciple of purpose limi­ta­tion and the consent of the data subject, taking into account the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.

        3.3 Use in appli­ca­tions
        If you send us your appli­ca­tion, we collect, store and use your corre­sponding DATA.

        The DATA will only be processed to the extent neces­sary to process your appli­ca­tion and for corre­spon­dence with you. The DATA collected serve the sole purpose of being able to process your request. Your DATA will be processed in compli­ance with the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.

        3.4 Use to conduct a contract or other agree­ments
        If you conclude a contract or other agree­ments with us, only the DATA you disclose or the DATA disclosed by third parties with your consent will be used. The conclu­sion and imple­men­ta­tion of a contract or other agree­ments would not be possible without the processing of your DATA. If the contract or other agree­ments are concluded, these DATA will be used to imple­ment the contrac­tual rela­tion­ship. In partic­ular, these are:

        • Name
        • Full address details
        • Land­line and/​or mobile phone number
        • E‑mail address
        • Profes­sional position
        • Bank details (if required)

        All DATA provided by you will be processed exclu­sively for the purpose of concluding and fulfiling a contract or other agree­ments with us and for contract administration.

        The legal basis for this data processing is, in partic­ular, compli­ance with the prin­ciple of legality, the prin­ciple of accu­racy, the prin­ciple of propor­tion­ality, the prin­ciple of trans­parency, the prin­ciple of purpose limi­ta­tion and the consent of the person concerned, taking into account the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.

        In the course of your contrac­tual rela­tion­ship, all types of infor­ma­tion rele­vant to the service may also be used. Insofar as the use of special types of personal DATA are required, these DATA will only be collected and used if or insofar as you have consented to it. We obtain your consent in accor­dance with the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.

        If we compile statis­tics with the data cate­gories mentioned in Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, this is only done for the purposes mentioned in Art. 31 Para. 2 lit. e FDPA or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. j GDPR. A lack of consent depending on the cate­gory of DATA may lead to the service contract or other contract not being concluded or terminated.

        3.5 Use due to legal require­ments
        We process your DATA to fulfil legal oblig­a­tions such as regu­la­tory require­ments and/​or commer­cial and tax reten­tion oblig­a­tions. The APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW is taken into account as the basis for this processing.

        Should we wish to process your DATA for a purpose not mentioned above, we will inform you in advance within the frame­work of the legal provi­sions and/​or obtain your consent.

        3.6. Use for the usage of our soft­ware

        These DATA are stored in partic­ular for tech­ni­cally neces­sary reasons. In addi­tion, we store these DATA for a limited period of time in order to initiate a deriva­tion to personal DATA in the event of unau­tho­rised access or attempted access to our cloud solu­tion. The processing of your DATA described in this para­graph takes place in compli­ance with the prin­ciple of legality, the prin­ciple of accu­racy, the prin­ciple of propor­tion­ality, the prin­ciple of trans­parency, the prin­ciple of purpose limi­ta­tion and the consent of the data subject, taking into account the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.

      4. Cookies
        The tools that we use to opti­mize prod­ucts and customer inter­ac­tion on our website are listed below. The listed tools store so-called cookies. Cookies are files that are stored on your terminal device and enable the user to be recog­nized and serve to present the digital offer in a more user-friendly and effec­tive manner. You can also visit our website without cookies. You can also decide which cate­gories of cookies you would like to accept via the settings in our cookie banner. To completely prevent the use of cookies by your internet browser, you can deac­ti­vate the use of cookies via the settings of your internet browser. Further­more, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an internet browser or other soft­ware programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. The help func­tions of your internet browser will tell you how to deac­ti­vate and/​or delete cookies. Please note that deactivating/​deleting cookies may result in indi­vidual func­tions of our website no longer working to their full extent. Cookies that may be neces­sary for certain func­tions of our website are shown below. In addi­tion, the deactivation/​deletion of cookies only has an effect on the Internet browser used. If you use other Internet browsers, the deactivation/​deletion of cookies must there­fore be repeated accordingly.

        The DATA stored by a cookie will be saved until the end of the term of the respec­tive cookie or until you delete such cookie.

      5. Links to social media networks
        Our website links to third-party websites that are not oper­ated or controlled by us. We are not respon­sible for whether and how these third parties comply with data protec­tion regu­la­tions. These are there­fore not social plugins provided by the social media provider, which already transmit DATA to the provider when the page is loaded, without users being able to influ­ence this. Behind the buttons to the social media networks, there is only a link to the social media network including the transfer of the web page to be shared. Below you will find infor­ma­tion on the data processing of the respec­tive providers.

      6. Who gets your data?
        Depending on the type of DATA processed by us as “Data Controller” , only specific and rele­vant orga­ni­za­tional units have access to your DATA in accor­dance with the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW. These are the specialist depart­ments involved in the provi­sion of our services. By means of a role and autho­riza­tion concept in accor­dance with our internal policy, access within our company is limited to those func­tions and to that extent which is neces­sary for the respec­tive purpose of data processing. In order to fulfil the above-mentioned purposes, we also transfer your DATA to third parties (e.g., IT service providers as “Data Processor”) with your written consent in accor­dance with the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW. The cate­gories of these recip­i­ents are divided as follows:

        6.1. External service providers in the EU and/​or Switzer­land
        We some­times use external service providers in the EU and/​or Switzer­land to fulfil our contrac­tual and legal oblig­a­tions. These service providers may there­fore also receive DATA for these purposes if they comply with confi­den­tiality and our data protec­tion instruc­tions. AlpinumLaw uses the services of the following external service providers:

        • Bexio AG, Alte Jonas­trasse 24, 8640 Rapper­swil SG, Schweiz.
        • Clockodo GmbH, Vikto­ri­as­trasse 25a, 59425 Unna, Deutschland.

        This list may be amended and supple­mented at our sole discretion.

        6.2. External service providers estab­lished in a third country (outside the EU and Switzer­land)
        Some of our service providers, including some of the cookie providers, tools, services and web services mentioned above, are wholly or partially estab­lished in so-called third coun­tries, i.e. outside the EU and Switzer­land. For some of these third coun­tries, a posi­tive adequacy assess­ment or deci­sion pursuant to Art. 16 para. 1 FDPA or Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR is not avail­able. The same applies with regard to suit­able guar­an­tees within the meaning of Art. 16 Para. 2 FDPA or Art. 46 GDPR. The transfer of your DATA to these service providers is based on Art. 16 Para. 2 lit. b FDPA and Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a and b GDPR.

        Below you will find a list of our service providers concerned:

        • Microsoft/​O365/​Azure, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052, United States of America.

        This list may be amended and supple­mented at our sole discretion.

        6.3. Other recip­i­ents
        In addi­tion, we may transfer your personal DATA to other recip­i­ents, such as author­i­ties for the fulfil­ment of legal noti­fi­ca­tion oblig­a­tions (e.g., law enforce­ment agen­cies or social welfare authorities).

      7. Where and how long is your data stored?
        The PERSONAL DATA are stored of on a Swiss cloud solu­tion of Bexio AG in Switzer­land. We regu­larly perform backups of our server and so does Bexio AG. Further­more, we and Bexio AG restrict access to the PERSONAL DATA concerned by means of orga­ni­za­tional and secu­rity measures. If the DATA are no longer required for the afore­men­tioned purposes, they will be deleted after expiry of the statu­tory reten­tion period and blocked for further processing for the remaining dura­tion of the statu­tory reten­tion period in accor­dance with the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW. Your DATA will be processed for as long as our processing purposes, the statu­tory reten­tion periods and our legit­i­mate inter­ests for docu­men­ta­tion and evidence purposes require.
      8. The secu­rity of your personal data according to the prin­ciple of Privacy by Default and by Design
        AlpinumLaw will take appro­priate tech­nical and orga­ni­za­tional measures (in partic­ular, pseu­do­nymi­sa­tion of data, data minimi­sa­tion and restric­tion of access to the data concerned to persons who process it for the purposes of the data processing) both at the time of deter­mining the means for the processing and at the time of the processing itself, in accor­dance with the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW. This commit­ment relates to the type and amount of your PERSONAL DATA we collect, the extent of its processing and the dura­tion of its storage and acces­si­bility. These measures ensure that, by default, your PERSONAL DATA are not made avail­able to an indef­i­nite number of third parties without your inter­ven­tion. In the event of a personal data breach, AlpinumLaw will notify the compe­tent super­vi­sory authority (Federal Data Protec­tion and Infor­ma­tion Commis­sioner (FDPIC)) without undue delay after becoming aware of such breach, in accor­dance with the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW, unless the breach is unlikely to result in a risk to your rights and free­doms. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and free­doms, AlpinumLaw will notify you of the breach without undue delay, where possible, in accor­dance with the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.
      9. What are your rights?
        In order to inform you of all the options avail­able to you in the context of the collec­tion and use of your infor­ma­tion and DATA, we would like to inform you of your rights in this regard on the basis of the APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.

        9.1 Right to infor­ma­tion
        You can request infor­ma­tion about how, by whom, for what purposes and under what condi­tions your DATA are collected and used.

        9.2 Right of recti­fi­ca­tion
        Of course, we do not want to pass on incor­rect or outdated infor­ma­tion when using your personal infor­ma­tion, in order to prevent misun­der­stand­ings or possible damage, for example. There­fore, you have the possi­bility to update or correct the infor­ma­tion we have collected about you at any time.

        9.3 Right to restrict processing
        You can still request that we only use your DATA in a restricted manner. This means that your DATA will still be stored, but may only be used under limited condi­tions (e.g., to assert legal claims).

        9.4 Right of objec­tion
        If we collect and use your infor­ma­tion and DATA on the basis of legit­i­mate inter­ests, you natu­rally have the right to object to the use of your information.

        9.5 Right to dele­tion
        Last but not least, we will also delete your DATA if it is no longer required for the purposes stated herein and if we are not obliged to retain it. However, if you are of the opinion that there is no legal reason for further storage, you can assert your right to have your DATA deleted. We have a statu­tory period of 30 (thirty) days to delete the DATA.

        9.6 Right to data porta­bility
        You also have the right to data porta­bility with regard to all DATA that you have provided to us. This means that we will provide you with this DATA in a struc­tured, common and machine-read­able format.

      10. Consent and revo­ca­tion of consent
        If you have given us consent to process your personal DATA, you can revoke this consent at any time without giving reasons. The revo­ca­tion of consent is effec­tive for the future. The lawful­ness of the processing of your DATA up to the time of the revo­ca­tion remains unaffected.
      11. Changes and adjust­ments to the privacy policy
        1 We reserve the right to change this privacy policy. The current version of this privacy policy is always avail­able at https://​www​.alpinumlaw​.com/​p​r​i​v​a​c​y​-​p​o​l​icy . If this privacy policy may be changed in the future, we will inform you of the changes.
