6. General Principles

6.1 What data do we collect from you, and from whom do we receive this data?

Primarily, we process personal data that you transmit to us or that we collect during the operation of our website. In some cases, we may also receive personal data about you from third parties. This can include the following categories:

  • Basic personal data (name, address, date of birth, etc.);
  • Contact data (mobile number, email address, etc.);
  • Financial data (e.g., account details);
  • Online identifiers (e.g., cookie ID, IP addresses);
  • Location and traffic data;
  • Audio and visual recordings;
  • Particularly sensitive data (e.g., biometric data or information about your health).
6.2 Under what conditions do we process your data?

We process your data in good faith and according to the purposes set out in this privacy policy. We ensure a transparent and proportionate processing. If we are unable to adhere to these principles exceptionally, data processing may still be lawful if there is a justification. Justifications may include:

  • Your consent;
  • The execution of a contract or pre-contractual measures;
  • Our legitimate interests, provided they do not outweigh your interests.
6.3 How can you revoke your consent?

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we process your data within the scope of this consent, as long as we do not have another justification. You can revoke your given consent at any time by sending an email to the address mentioned in the imprint. Data processing that has already taken place is not affected by this. If you have subscribed to our newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link provided in the newsletter.

6.4 In which cases can we pass on your data to third parties?
a. Principle
We may need to use the services of third parties or affiliated companies and commission them to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients notably include:
  • Accounting, trust, and auditing firms;
  • Consulting firms (legal advice, taxes, etc.);
  • IT service providers (web hosting, support, cloud services, website design, etc.);
  • Payment service providers;
  • Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services.

We ensure that these third parties and our affiliated companies comply with data protection requirements and treat your personal data confidentially. In some cases, we are also obliged to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Disclosure to Partners and Cooperative Companies
We collaborate with various companies and partners who post their offers on our website. It is recognizable to you that it is a third-party offer (marked as "Advertising").

If you take advantage of such an offer, we will transmit your personal data to the respective partner or cooperative company (e.g., name, function, communication, etc.), whose offer you wish to use. These partners and cooperative companies are independently responsible for the personal data received. After transmitting the data, the privacy policies of the respective partners apply.

c. Visiting Our Social Media Channels
We have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This is visible to you (typically through appropriate symbols). Clicking on the symbols will redirect you to our social media channels.

The social media providers will then know that you are accessing their platform from our website. The social media providers can use the data collected for their own purposes. We note that we do not have knowledge of the content of the transmitted data and its use by the operators.

d. Transfer Abroad
In the context of processing orders, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad. These companies are committed to data protection to the same extent as we are. The transmission can take place worldwide.

If the level of data protection is not equivalent to that in Switzerland, we will carry out a prior risk assessment and ensure contractually that the same protection as in Switzerland is guaranteed (e.g., using the new standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or other legally prescribed measures). If our risk assessment is negative, we take additional technical measures to protect your data. You can access the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses via the following Link.

6.5 How long do we store your data?

We store personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the specific purposes for which the data were collected. Data that we store during your visit to our website is kept for twelve months. An exception applies to analysis and tracking data, which can be stored for a longer period. Contract data is stored for a longer duration as we are legally obliged to do so. We must, in particular, retain business communications, concluded contracts, and accounting records for up to 10 years. As far as we no longer need such data for the performance of services, the data is blocked and used only for accounting and tax purposes.

6.6 How do we protect your data?

We will securely store your data and take all reasonable measures to protect your data from loss, access, misuse, or alteration. Our contract partners and employees who have access to your data are obliged to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it may be necessary to forward your requests to affiliated companies. In these cases, your data will also be treated confidentially. Within our website, we use the SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in combination with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.

6.8 What rights do you have?
a. Right to Information
You can request information about the data we have stored about you at any time. Please send your request for information along with proof of identity to info@collectorsdeal.com.

You also have the right to receive your data in a common file format if we process your data automatically and if:

  • You have given your consent for the processing of these data; or
  • You have disclosed data in connection with the conclusion or processing of a contract.

We may restrict or refuse the provision of information or data if this contradicts our legal obligations, legitimate own or public interests, or the interests of a third party. The processing of your request is subject to a legal processing period of 30 days. However, we may extend this period due to high request volume, legal or technical reasons, or because we need more detailed information from you. You will be informed about the extension of the deadline in a timely manner, at least in text form.

b. Deletion and Correction
You have the right at any time to request the deletion or correction of your data. We may reject the request if legal regulations require us to store the data for a longer or unchanged duration, or if a permission circumstance opposes your request.

Please note that exercising your rights may conflict with contractual agreements and have corresponding effects on the execution of the contract (e.g., early termination of contract or cost consequences).

c. Legal Recourse
If you are affected by the processing of personal data, you have the right to enforce your rights in court or to file a report with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner: https://www.edoeb.admin.ch.
