The Company and SwissBorg will, both at the time of the determination of the means for Processing and at the time of the Processing itself, implement appropriate technical and organizational measures which are designed to implement data-protection principles, such as pseudonymization of your Personal Data or data minimization, in order to meet the requirements of the GDPR (if and when applicable), FADP and OFADP to appropriately protect your rights and Personal Data. 

The Company and SwissBorg will implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, in order to ensure that, by default, only Personal Data which is necessary for each specific purpose of the Processing is processed.

This obligation applies to (i) the amount of your Personal Data We Collect, (ii) the extent of their Processing, (iii) the period of storage and (iv) their accessibility. These measures will ensure that by default your Personal Data are not made accessible without your intervention to an indefinite number of third parties.

You have a right to ask the Company or SwissBorg to rectify inaccurate Personal Data We Collect and Process and the right to request restriction of your Personal Data pending such a request being considered. Where We Process your Personal Data on the basis of your Consent, you have the right to withdraw that Consent at any time, by contacting the Company or SwissBorg in writing using the details in Section 23 of this Privacy Notice. Please also note that the withdrawal of Consent shall not affect the lawfulness of Processing based on Consent before its withdrawal. 

You have a right to ask us to stop Processing your Personal Data, or to request deletion of your Personal Data – these rights are not absolute (as sometimes there may be overriding interests that require the Processing to continue, for example), but We will consider your request and respond to You with the outcome. 

When Personal Data is Processed for direct marketing purposes, your right to object extends to direct marketing, including profiling to the extent it is related to such marketing. 

You may object to direct marketing by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in any of our emails to you, or by contacting us by writing at the addresses set out in Section 23. Where We Process your Personal Data on the basis of your Consent, or where such Processing is necessary for entering into or performing our obligations under a contract with you, You may have the right under applicable data protection laws to request your Personal Data be sent to You or to another controller. 

You have the right to ask the Company or SwissBorg for a copy of some or all of the Personal Data We Collect and Process about You. In certain circumstances the Company or SwissBorg may Process your Personal Data through automated decision-making, including profiling if this should occur. 

Where this takes place, You will be informed of such automated decision-making that uses your Personal Data, be given information on the logic involved, and be informed of the possible consequences of such Processing. In certain circumstances, You can request not to be subject to automated decision-making, including profiling. You can exercise the rights by contacting us by writing using the details in Section 23 of this Privacy Notice.

17.2 Rectification of your Personal Data. You have a right to request rectification or update any of your Personal Data held by the Company or SwissBorg that is inaccurate.

17.3 Right to erasure. You have the right to request erasure of your Personal Data that: (i) is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was Collected or otherwise Processed; (ii) was Collected in relation to Processing that You previously Consented, but later withdraw such Consent; or (iii) was Collected in relation to Processing activities to which You object, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for our Processing. If We have made your Personal Data public and are obliged to erase the Personal Data, We will, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other parties that are Processing your Personal Data that You have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of your Personal Data. The above is subject to limitations by relevant data protection laws. 

17.4  Right to object to the Processing. Where the Processing of your Personal Data is based on your Consent or on the execution of the contract, You may restrict or object, at any time, to the Processing of your Personal Data as permitted by applicable law. We can continue to Process your Personal Data if it is necessary for the defense of legitimate interests or for any other exceptions permitted by applicable law.

17.5 Right to request restriction of Processing. You have the right to  request restriction of Processing where one of the following applies:

• You contest the accuracy of your Personal Data that We Processed. In such instances, We will restrict Processing during the period necessary for Us to verify the accuracy of your Personal Data;
• The Processing is unlawful and You oppose the erasure of your Personal Data and request the restriction of its use instead; 
• We no longer need your Personal Data for the purposes of the Processing, but it is required by You to establish, exercise or defence of legal claims;
• You have objected to Processing, pending the verification whether the Legitimate Interests of the Company or SwissBorg override your rights.

Restricted Personal Data shall only be Processed with your Consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. We will inform You if the restriction is lifted.

17.6 Notification of erasure, rectification and restriction. We will communicate any rectification or erasure of your Personal Data or restriction of Processing to each recipient to whom your Personal Data has been disclosed/transferred, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. We will inform You about those recipients if You request this information.

17.7 Automated individual decision-making, including profiling. We will not make a decision based solely on automated Processing of your Personal Data, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects on you, save for the exceptions applicable under relevant data protection laws.
