DATA PROTECTION
1 We process personal data (data which directly or indirectly identifies natural persons) which we receive from you or involved third parties within the scope of the client relationship or which we collect ourselves. Troihand GmbH (CHE-261.250.745), with its registered office in Schlieren, Switzerland, is responsible for the processing of personal data described in this data protection declaration.
2 Some of the personal data you or the data subjects provide to us yourself when you or they contact us by email or telephone and request our services. This includes, for example, name and contact details and information about the data subject's role with the company or organization for which you or the relevant contacts work or on whose behalf you or they contact us. We also process personal data that we receive in our correspondence with third parties (namely clients, counterparties, authorities and courts and their employees or other contact persons) in the context of the client-lawyer relationship (e.g. name, contact details, date of birth, information on employment, income situation, family circumstances or state of health). We also collect some personal data ourselves, e.g. from public registers or websites.
3 We process the above-mentioned types of personal data primarily to provide, document and bill our services.
4 To achieve the purposes described in this privacy statement, it may be necessary for us to disclose personal data to the following categories of recipients: External service providers, clients, counterparties and their legal representatives, business partners with whom we may need to coordinate the provision of services, and public authorities and courts.
5 We process personal data in our area of responsibility in Switzerland. However, we may transfer the personal data to recipients (namely clients, counterparties or authorities) who process the personal data in other countries, including those that do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to Swiss law. We will do the latter based on consent or standard contractual clauses, or if it is necessary for the performance of a contract or the enforcement of legal claims.
6 We only store personal data for as long as this is necessary to process the mandate relationship, for as long as there is a legal obligation to retain and document the data or for as long as we have an overriding private or public interest in doing so. We take reasonable and proportionate precautions to protect personal data from loss, unauthorized modification or unauthorized access by third parties. If you provide us with personal data via a third party (e.g. via your employees or other contacts), it is up to you to inform them in a general way about the processing by service providers (such as us) or other external service providers (e.g. in a privacy policy for employees).
7 We draw your attention to the fact that we use external IT service providers and cloud providers with servers in Switzerland during our mandate. We then use certain IT services as well as means of communication which may be associated with data security risks (e.g. email, video conferencing). It is your responsibility to inform us of your desire for special security measures.
8 We have a legitimate interest in the processing of personal data corresponding to the purposes stated. Some processing is also necessary so that we can fulfil our contractual obligations to you or our legal obligations (e.g. retention obligations).
9 Data subjects have the right to information about the personal data stored about them and the purpose of the data processing, the right to rectification as well as to deletion or restriction of the processing of their personal data, the right to object to the processing, the right to take legal action before a competent supervisory authority as well as to data transmission/transferability. However, please note that conditions and exceptions apply to these rights. Where legally permitted or required, we may refuse requests to exercise these rights. For example, we may or must retain or otherwise continue to process personal data despite a request to delete the personal data or restrict processing for legal reasons.
10 No consent to the data protection statement is required from the client, his employees or other contact persons. The data protection declaration is merely information about the type, scope and purpose of the use of personal data by Troihand GmbH. Troihand GmbH reserves the right to unilaterally change the content of the above-mentioned data protection declaration at any time and without notice. It is therefore recommended that you regularly consult the data protection declaration of Troihand GmbH on our website.
11 If you have any questions or if you or your employees or other contact persons wish to exercise your or their data protection rights, please contact us at ne@troihand.ch or write to Troihand GmbH, c/o Nadia El Meligy, Parkweg 6, 8952 Schlieren.
