Privacy Overview
We treat your personal data as subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of 14 April 2016.
Online Marketing. We track basic values via google analytics, and other online marketing services in compliance with GDPR in order to attempt to target publicity only to those to whom they may be relevant. This information includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data, mobile device identifiers, and advertising identifiers. We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We do not save your personal identity with these tracking data.
Submitting personal data on our dataforms. The personal data you may submit on our online or offline forms are only used for the purpose stated on the form and thereafter deleted according to a routine schedule. All online webform data are transferred via secure channels.
Email correspondence and attachments. The personal information in emails or their attachments sent to us or received by you are securely handled on our servers and those of our data processors. Please be aware that emails pass over the internet beyond your or our control, and at this stage can be intercepted or manipulated by third parties. Although we take steps to verify the authenticity of all email traffic we cannot be responsible for such traffic or for any information which is in the public domain. You are welcome to request the use of a secure channel to send or receive your data. Wherever possible we will ask you to send us your data over secure channels.
Our candidates & employees. The personal data of all prospective candidates, employees or ex-employees is handled with utmost care with regard to security and confidentiality. We store your data on protected servers and delete or anonymise the data as soon as they are no longer required for offering or providing you our services, for legal protection or compliance. Please note in Switzerland some data must be kept for up to 10 years.
Any data stored is only used for the purposes requested/agreed by you. You have the right to request a copy of the data we have for you, to have them corrected, to restrict their use or have them deleted subject to legal, compliance and technical restrictions that may have to be applied to them. We will not charge you for any such request as long as it is reasonable, and we will handle your request promptly, within one calendar month.
Personal data passed to us by agencies. If an agency passes your personal data to us in order that we can offer or provide a service, they are recognised under the GDPR as the controller of your data. We require them provide you the same rights we are providing to you as defined above, and to pass on to us any requests you make to them concerning the data they have provided to us, whence we will provide them the same rights on your behalf.
Personal data we pass to clients. In order to present you as a candidate or lease you to a client we may need to pass some personal data to the client. They then become processors of your data under the GDPR. Before we pass any of your personal data we ensure that we have your consent. We will also require them to honour any requests under your rights regarding these data. They will have to agree to process any request within one calendar month, subject to their own legal protection and compliance requirements.
We hereby declare that any personal data provided to us is handled securely and according to the GDPR, for which we have a Data Protection Plan, and have appointed a Data Protection Officer. You can contact him directly if you have any questions or requests at dpo@accurity.ch. You can read the full text of the GDPR here.
