Use of cookies
CONCIEL uses tracking technology such as cookies to gather connection data and to understand how users use CONCIEL Sites. A cookie is an element of data that a website can send to your computer’s browser so that this computer will be recognised by the site on the user’s return. Cookies allow the web server to recognise your computer on connection to a CONCIEL Site, which in turn allows the server to make downloading of pages faster than on first viewing. Also cookies may be used to establish statistics about the use of CONCIEL Sites by gathering and analysing various data (e.g. most visited pages, time spent by users on visited pages). Cookies will not be used to monitor website visits of a particular individual. Cookies placed on your computer will not be kept longer than necessary for the purposes indicated. It is possible to set the browser on your computer to notify you when a cookie is being recorded on your computer’s hard drive. It is generally also possible to set the browser to prevent cookies from being recorded on your computer. For the optimal use of CONCIEL Sites, however, we recommend that you do not block the recording of cookies on your computer. The procedure for refusal of cookies may differ depending on the software product. You may check with your software helpdesk or software supplier if you wish to refuse cookies. If you choose not to receive cookies, you may not be able to use certain functionalities or pages of CONCIEL Sites.
How is your data used?
The user data collected over a CONCIEL Site will be processed for the following purposes:
- We will use your connection data for statistical purposes and to manage and improve the usability of the CONCIEL Sites by means of particular software (e.g. Google analytics) or cookies (see above).
- We will use your contact data to: (i) answer any queries you have about CONCIEL Sites and to notify you of any changes to CONCIEL Sites; (ii) provide you with information you have requested (subscription functionality, forgotten password); and (iii) inform you about CONCIEL and other events.
- We will use your contact and other data to inform you about CONCIEL services and solutions that may be of interest to you (marketing activities), unless you inform us that you wish not to receive any promotion material from CONCIEL (see Terms of Use).
- We will include comments that you provide through commenting functionality on CONCIEL Sites or otherwise in anonymous reports, statistics, surveys and pools which we make available on CONCIEL Sites. However, these types of information will not enable readers to identify individuals or individual businesses. Your comments are made available on CONCIEL Sites in anonymous form, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise using dialogue and sharing functionality.
Data disclosure to third parties
CONCIEL may disclose your information to its affiliates and its and their agents and third party providers inside or outside your country of residence to perform services for CONCIEL and for the purposes stated above. Our affiliates, agents and third party providers who have access to personal data obtained, through CONCIEL Sites are obliged to respect privacy. When transferring personal data internationally we make sure that we comply with applicable laws and regulations, for example, by entering into agreements which will ensure the recipients of your information maintain an adequate level of data protection. We will not disclose your personal data to any other third parties, except for the following: (1) disclosure of data if legally required or ordered by an authority or a court; (2) disclosure of data to third parties in corporate reorganisations, disposals or acquisitions; (3) disclosure of data to third parties if necessary to protect the interests of CONCIEL or other users. We will not sell, rent, distribute or otherwise make your contact or other data commercially available to any third party, except with your prior permission.
Data storage and transfer outside your country
Your data is processed according to applicable data protection and privacy laws. Any data you send over the Internet to the CONCIEL Site CONCIEL.ch is processed and stored on the servers of CONCIEL. Accordingly, your personal data will be transferred to and processed in locations outside the country in which you are viewing the CONCIEL Site (the “User Country”). Any data or material sent or uploaded by you will be accessible in countries outside the User Country. If your User Country is within the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or is Switzerland or another country providing an adequate level of data protection, please note that your personal data will also be accessible and processed in countries with a lower level of data protection. In these situations CONCIEL will ensure (by entering into a written agreement or otherwise) that an adequate level of data protection is maintained by the recipients of your data in accordance with applicable data protection law.
Storage of e-mails
All incoming and outgoing e-mail messages are automatically stored in the CONCIEL Electronic Message Repository. The e-mails are protected by legal, technical and organizational measures and are processed according to applicable data protection and privacy laws. They may only be accessed in justified cases in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (e.g. court order, suspicion of criminal conduct, breach of regulatory obligations, material breach of employment contract). Access is only granted to employees in defined functions (e.g. litigation, legal, compliance, risk). The process steps as well as the search criteria used are pre-defined. All e-mails are disposed of after a pre-determined period of time and according to legal requirements. If you do not wish the retention of private e-mails by CONCIEL, we strongly advise you not to send private, non-business related e-mails to CONCIEL e-mail accounts.
Data security and confidentiality
CONCIEL applies and ensures that service providers apply technical and organizational security measures that are appropriate to protect personal data against accidental, unauthorised or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or access and against all other unlawful forms of processing. The accessing and entering of information on CONCIEL Sites by users takes place over the Internet which is an open and unprotected network. This data transfer takes place in non-encrypted form. When disclosing any personal information via an open network, you should be mindful that it is potentially accessible to others and consequently can be collected and used by others without your consent. In particular, even when individual data packets are encrypted, the names of the sender and recipient are not. A third party may therefore be able to trace a transaction. Even if both the sender and recipient are located in the same country, data may also be transmitted via such networks to other countries regularly and without controls, including to countries that do not afford the same level of data protection as the User Country. Your data may be lost during transmission or may be accessed by unauthorised parties. CONCIEL does not accept any liability for direct or indirect losses as regards the security of your data during its transfer via the Internet. Please use other means of communication if you think this is necessary or prudent for security reasons.
For how long is your personal data retained?
CONCIEL retains the personal data collected over CONCIEL Sites only for as long as required or permitted by law and regulations.
Protection of minors
CONCIEL does not wish to collect personal data over CONCIEL Sites from individuals under the age of 18 without the consent of the individual's parent or legal guardian. Individuals under the age of 18 must obtain the consent of their parent or legal guardian before providing any personal data to CONCIEL on a CONCIEL Site.
