​

  • Website administration and development: Maintain, protect and improve our website, ensure the proper technical functioning of our network and improve and personalize the content and layout of our website.

​

The law requires us to have a legal basis for collecting and using your personal data. We rely on one or more of the following legal bases: 

​

  • Performance of a contract with you: When we need to perform the contract that we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.

​

  • Legitimate interests: We may use your personal data when necessary for the conduct of our business and the pursuit of our legitimate interests, for example, to prevent fraud and provide you with the best possible customer experience, securely. We take care to consider and assess any potential impact on you and your rights (both positive and negative) before processing your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where the impact on you outweighs our interests (unless we have your consent or are required or permitted to do so by law).

​

  • Legal obligation: We may use your personal data when necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject. We will specify the relevant legal obligation when we rely on this legal basis.

HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may share the personal information we collect about you as described below:

​

  • Service providers: We may share your personal information with third-party service providers who provide services, such as website usage analysis, on our behalf, to enable them to provide those services.

 

  • Subsidiaries and affiliates: We may share your personal information with our subsidiaries and affiliates for the purposes described above or when reasonably necessary for our internal administrative and business purposes. 

​

  • For marketing purposes: We may share your personal information with our subsidiaries, affiliates, and third parties who jointly sponsor an event or promotion with us. The personal information shared with our subsidiaries, affiliates, and third parties for these purposes includes basic identification information.

​​​

  • Legal reasons: We may share your personal information in order to comply with applicable law, respond to a valid legal process, participate in legal proceedings, including the discovery of evidence and civil litigation, protect you, us and others from illegal or fraudulent activities, and investigate and enforce potential violations of our policies, including our terms of use. 

​

  • Change of control operation: We may share your personal information with third parties who may acquire or do acquire all or part of our business, whether by merger, consolidation or purchase of all or part of our assets, including during negotiations for such a transaction, or in connection with bankruptcy or restructuring proceedings initiated by or against us.

​

We do not sell your personal information to third parties, nor do we share your personal information with third parties for targeted advertising purposes.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

We may transfer your personal data outside of Switzerland and Europe. We take measures to protect your personal data. The personal data you provide to us may be transferred to or stored in countries outside of Switzerland and the EU. For example, if some of our servers, those of our subsidiaries, or those of our third-party service providers are located in a country outside of Switzerland and the EU, or if our third-party suppliers themselves transfer personal data outside of these jurisdictions. These countries may not have data protection laws similar to those of Switzerland, nor legislation offering a level of data protection equivalent to that of Switzerland and the EU.

​

If we (or our third-party providers) transfer or store your information outside of Switzerland or the EU, we will take the necessary steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be respected, in accordance with this policy and applicable law. These steps include imposing contractual obligations on the recipient of your personal data or verifying their adherence to international frameworks designed to ensure adequate protection. We may rely on adequacy decisions for certain countries when transferring data to countries outside of Switzerland. We will only disclose the personal information necessary to the recipients of your data to provide the service for which it is intended. We will strive to anonymize your information or use aggregated and non-specific data sets whenever possible. If you use our services from a country outside the EU, your information may be transferred outside the EU to provide you with those services.

SECURITY

We have implemented appropriate security measures to prevent the accidental loss, use, unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure of your personal data. Furthermore, access to your personal data is limited to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who need to know it to perform their duties. These individuals will process your personal data only on our instructions and are bound by a duty of confidentiality. We have procedures in place to handle any suspected personal data breaches and will notify you and any relevant supervisory authority of any breach where required by law.

 

The internet and data storage are not 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information stored or transmitted. We recommend that you exercise the utmost caution. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we are not liable if your information is intercepted, accessed, and/or used by an unauthorized recipient. If you have reason to believe that the security of your communications or personal information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at contact@marques-enterprises.com.

DATA RETENTION

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to comply with any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting obligations. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a claim or if we have reason to believe that a dispute may arise concerning our relationship with you.

​

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we take into account the quantity, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means, as well as applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

​

In certain circumstances, you can ask us to delete your data.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

You have several rights regarding your personal data under data protection law. To confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or exercise any other rights), we may ask you for specific information. This security measure is designed to prevent the disclosure of personal data to anyone not authorized to receive it. We may also contact you to obtain further information regarding your request in order to respond to it more quickly.

​

We strive to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. This timeframe may exceptionally be longer if your request is particularly complex or if you have submitted multiple requests. In such cases, we will inform you and keep you updated. Access to your personal data (or the exercise of your other rights) is free of charge. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive. In such cases, we may also refuse to comply. 

​

You have the following rights, some of which may only apply in certain circumstances:

​

  • to be informed about the processing of your personal data (this is the purpose of this statement);

​

  • have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate and have incomplete personal information completed;

​

  • to object to the processing of your personal data;

​

  • withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data; 

​

  • restrict the processing of your personal information;

​

  • to have your personal information erased and to request access to your personal information and information on how we process it.
