Privacy Policy
We are delighted that you are interested in our company. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of GlobeGuard GmbH. It is generally possible to use the GlobeGuard GmbH website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to GlobeGuard GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.
As the controller, GlobeGuard GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, e.g., by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of GlobeGuard GmbH is based on the terminology used by Swiss and European legislators in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terminology used.
In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution, or any other form of provision, combination, or linking, as well as restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or processor
The controller or processor is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; a processing of that data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
j) Third parties
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union, and other provisions on data protection is:

E-Mail: info@globeguard.ch
Website: www.globeguard.ch
3. Collection of general data and information
The GlobeGuard GmbH website collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. This information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.
When using this general data and information, GlobeGuard GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by GlobeGuard GmbH on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
4. Contact possibility via the website
Die Internetseite der GlobeGuard GmbH enthält Informationen, die eine schnelle elektronische Kontaktaufnahme zu unserem Unternehmen sowie eine unmittelbare Kommunikation mit uns ermöglichen, was ebenfalls eine allgemeine Adresse der sogenannten elektronischen Post (E-Mail-Adresse) umfasst.

Solche auf freiwilliger Basis von einer betroffenen Person an den für die Verarbeitung Verantwortlichen übermittelten personenbezogenen Daten werden zum Zwecke der Bearbeitung oder der Kontaktaufnahme mit der betroffenen Person gespeichert. Eine Weitergabe dieser personenbezogenen Daten an Dritte findet nicht statt.
5. Routinemäßige Löschung und Sperrung von personenbezogenen Daten
The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information on whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Every data subject has the right granted by European legislation to obtain from the data controller, without undue delay, the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. The data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every data subject has the right granted by European legislation to request that the controller erase personal data concerning them without delay, and the controller is obliged to erase the personal data without delay if one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:
The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

The personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of a Member State to which the controller is subject.
The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in connection with the provision of information society services pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Every data subject has the right granted by European legislation to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
The data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the data controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions applies and a data subject wishes to restrict the processing of their personal data stored by GlobeGuard GmbH, they may contact an employee of the data controller at any time. The employee of GlobeGuard GmbH will then arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the GlobeGuard GmbH.
g) Right to object
Every data subject has the right granted by European legislation to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
GlobeGuard GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If GlobeGuard GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to GlobeGuard GmbH processing their data for direct marketing purposes, GlobeGuard GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them carried out by GlobeGuard GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of GlobeGuard GmbH directly. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications when using information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject has the right granted by European legislation not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, GlobeGuard GmbH shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their rights with regard to automated individual decision-making, they may contact a GlobeGuard GmbH employee at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every data subject has the right granted by European legislators to withdraw their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they can contact a GlobeGuard GmbH employee at any time.
7. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to injure themselves at our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases, if the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject requiring the protection of personal data prevail. Such processing operations are permissible in particular because they have been expressly mentioned by the European legislator. A legitimate interest may be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).
8. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest lies in conducting our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
9. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criterion for determining the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.
10. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement
Necessity for concluding a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of not providing data
We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is in some cases required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for the data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact an employee. The employee will inform the data subject whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data and what the consequences of not providing personal data would be.
11. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
