We may combine information from various lawful sources to the extent necessary and proportionate for the purposes stated.

Basis for processing

Under Swiss data protection law we process personal data in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, transparency, proportionality, purpose limitation, data minimisation and data security.

Where consent is required or we base processing on your consent, we obtain it in advance. Consent given can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Where the GDPR applies, processing may be based in particular on your consent, the performance of pre-contractual measures or a contract, a legal obligation or our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests include in particular the secure and economical operation of our website, the support of clients and prospects and the further development of our services.

Recipients of personal data

Within Tessi Switzerland, personal data may be made accessible to those employees who need it to perform their tasks.

Where necessary for the purposes stated, data may also be passed on to other companies of the Tessi Group and to commissioned service providers, for example providers of hosting, IT, communication, analytics, marketing, recruiting or support services.

Service providers receive personal data only to the extent necessary and are, where required, contractually obliged to process and protect the data appropriately.

Personal data may also be disclosed to authorities, courts or other bodies where there is a legal obligation or where this is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Disclosure of personal data abroad

In the course of our business activities, personal data may also be processed outside Switzerland.

This concerns in particular companies of the Tessi Group and external service providers. Processing may take place in particular in Switzerland and in states of the European Union or the European Economic Area, notably France.

If the recipient state does not offer an adequate level of data protection recognised by the Swiss Federal Council, we ensure the required protection through appropriate safeguards, in particular recognised standard data protection clauses and, where necessary, additional technical or organisational measures, or we base the disclosure on a statutory exception.

Retention period

We store personal data only for as long as is necessary for the respective processing purposes or as long as statutory or contractual retention obligations exist.

Data of prospects and from general business enquiries is generally retained for up to three years after the last relevant interaction, unless a longer purpose or a legal obligation applies.

Application documents are generally retained for up to twelve months after the conclusion of the application procedure or the last contact, unless a longer retention period has been agreed or is required.

Business and contract documents may be retained for ten years or longer due to statutory retention obligations.
