PMagic – Thiering Consulting ("we", "us") is responsible for the processing of personal data in connection with this website and our consulting services. This Privacy Policy applies primarily under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP). Where the requirements for application of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are met, the GDPR also applies.

 Depending on how you interact with us, we may process:

• name and professional contact details;
• company, organisation and professional function;
• information provided in enquiries and correspondence;
• information relating to prospective or existing business relationships;
• technical information generated when you visit the website, such as IP address, date and time of access, browser, operating system, device and pages visited; and
• website usage and technical statistics, such as visits, pages viewed, referring websites, IP address and country or approximate geographic origin

 We only process personal data that is relevant and necessary for the purposes described below.

 We process personal data in order to:

• operate, maintain and secure our website;
• respond to enquiries and communicate with prospective and existing clients;
• discuss, prepare, negotiate and perform consulting engagements;
• prepare proposals and other business communications;
• manage our business relationships;
• analyse website traffic and usage in order to improve our website and its content;
• prevent misuse and protect our systems; and
• comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

 We do not sell personal data to third parties.

Legal Basis

Under Swiss data protection law, personal data is processed in accordance with the applicable legal requirements, including the principles of lawfulness, transparency, purpose limitation and proportionality. Where the GDPR applies, processing is based, as appropriate, on: 

• contractual or pre-contractual necessity, for example when responding to an enquiry or preparing a consulting engagement;
• legitimate interests, for example for operating and securing our website, managing business relationships and improving our services;
• legal obligations, where processing is required by law; or
• consent, where consent is required for a particular processing activity.

 Where processing is based on consent, consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Our website is hosted using Infomaniak, located in Switzerland, and may use the website statistics provided by Infomaniak. These statistics help us understand how our website is used. Depending on the available statistics, this may include information such as: 

• number of visits and pages viewed;
• referring websites;
• date and time of access;
• technical information; and
• country or approximate geographic origin of visitors.

The statistics are used solely to monitor and improve the website. They are not used for advertising, remarketing or the creation of individual user profiles. Infomaniak states that its web hosting infrastructure and customer data are hosted and processed exclusively in Switzerland. 

Our website may use technically necessary cookies or similar technologies required for its operation, security and basic functionality. The website statistics described above are based on technical/server data and are not Google Analytics or another third-party tracking service. 

We do not currently use third-party advertising cookies, remarketing technologies or similar advertising trackers.

Where optional cookies or similar technologies are introduced in the future, we will provide the information and obtain consent where required by applicable law.

You can also adjust the cookie settings of your web browser.

Contact forms and communication

 If you contact us by email, contact form, telephone or other means, we process the information you provide in order to respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, manage a subsequent business relationship.

This may include your name, professional contact details, company information and the content of your communication.

We retain such information only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or as required by applicable law.

We may use service providers where necessary for operating our website and business, including website hosting, email and communication services, IT/security services and professional advisers. Such providers receive personal data only to the extent necessary for the relevant service and are subject to applicable confidentiality and data-protection requirements.

We may also disclose personal data where required by law, by a competent authority, or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. Our website hosting and related website infrastructure are provided by Infomaniak, Switzerland. Infomaniak states that customer data is hosted and processed exclusively in Switzerland. 

Personal data processed through this website is generally processed in Switzerland. We currently use Infomaniak for website hosting and related website infrastructure; Infomaniak states that customer data is hosted and processed in Switzerland. If we introduce services involving the transfer of personal data outside Switzerland, we will update this Privacy Policy as required and ensure that the applicable legal requirements for international data transfers are met.

Data retention 

 We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose or as required by applicable law. In particular:

• enquiry and correspondence data is generally retained for as long as necessary to handle the enquiry and any resulting business relationship;
• client and contractual information is retained for the duration of the business relationship and thereafter as required by statutory retention obligations or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and
• technical data and website statistics are retained for as long as necessary for website operation, security and statistical purposes, subject to the retention settings of the hosting service.

 When personal data is no longer required, it is deleted or anonymised unless continued retention is legally required or otherwise permitted.

Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction, alteration or disclosure.

These measures include secure website connections, access controls, appropriate IT security measures and the use of secure hosting infrastructure.

No transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Depending on the applicable law, you may have the right to: 

• request information about personal data processed about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• request deletion of personal data where the applicable requirements are met;
• request restriction of processing in the circumstances provided by law;
• object to certain processing;
• request data portability where applicable; and
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Where the GDPR applies, you may also have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Under the GDPR, you may also have additional rights provided by the GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority. To exercise your rights, please contact us at contact@pmagic.ch. We may request appropriate information to verify your identity.
