PRIVACY POLICY
With this Data Protection Statement we, Marcau Partners AG (hereinafter Marcau Partners, we or us), describe how we collect and further process personal data (information that relates to a person and identifies this person directly or indirectly).
This Data Protection Statement is in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Although the GDPR is a regulation of the European Union (EU), it may be relevant for us. The Swiss data protection legislation (FADP) is heavily influenced by the law of the European Union. In addition, companies outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area (EEA) must comply with the GDPR in certain cases.
If you have any questions regarding data protection you can get you in touch with us by sending us an e-mail at info@marcau.vc.
Personal data that we collect and process to make our website available
You can visit our website and obtain information about our services without telling us who you are. However, we do collect technical data when you visit our website. This is necessary to make our website available.
As with every connection to a web server, the server on which we host the website and applications automatically logs and stores certain technical data. This data includes the IP address and operating system of your device, the date and time of use, the website from which you are visiting us and the type of browser you are using to access our website. To the extent that we process personal data, we do this based on our interest to make the website available, offer you the best possible user experience and guarantee the security and stability of our systems.
Personal data that we collect and process to provide services
If you use contact forms on our website, we collect your contact data (first name, last name, e-mail address, your message). We process the contact data to get in contact with you and to answer your inquiries to the best of our knowledge.
How and why we use cookies
We typically use cookies and similar techniques on our websites, which allow for an identification of your browser or device. A cookie is a small text file that is sent to your computer and automatically saved by the web browser on your computer or mobile device, when you visit our website. If you revisit our website, we may recognize you, even if we do not know your identity.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may configure your browser settings in a way that it rejects cookies, only saves them for one session or deletes them prematurely. Most browsers are preset to accept cookies.
If you block cookies, it is possible that certain functions (such as, e.g., language settings) are no longer available to you.
Data that we collect and process to analyze and improve the use of our website
We may use Google Analytics or similar services on our website. These are services provided by third parties, which may be located in any country worldwide (in the case of Google Analytics Google LLC is in the U.S.) and which allow us to measure and evaluate the use of our website (on an anonymized basis). For this purpose, permanent cookies are used, which are set by the service provider. The service provider does not receive (and does not retain) any personal data from us, but the service provider may track your use of the website, combine this information with data from other websites you have visited and which are also tracked by the respective service provider and may use this information for its own purposes (e.g. to controlling of advertisements). If you have registered with the service provider, the service provider will also know your identity. In this case, the processing of your personal data by the service provider will be conducted in accordance with its data protection regulations. The service provider only provides us with data on the use of the respective website (but not any personal information of you).
Further information about the web analysis service used can be found on the Google Analytics website. Instructions on how to prevent your data from being processed by the web analysis service can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
We have embedded links on our website to relevant websites. If you access such links from our website it may be that data is disclosed to the owner of the website that you are accessing.
In addition, we use plug-ins from social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin, or Instagram on our websites. This is visible for you (typically based on the respective symbols). If you activate these elements (by clicking on them), the operators of the respective social networks may record that you are on our website and where on our website you are exactly and may use this information for their own purposes. This processing of your personal data lays in the responsibility of the respective operator and occurs according to its data protection regulations. We do not receive any information about you from the respective operator.
We also offer you the possibility to directly send us an e-mail by clicking on info@marcau.vc. By doing so the embedded link automatically opens a blank e-mail. This creates an interface between our website and your e-mail application.
How we process and protect personal data, and how long we store it
We collect and process your personal data in a trustworthy, responsible manner as described in the privacy policy and in accordance with the applicable data protection laws. We only store your personal data for as long as necessary and to the extent necessary for the described purposes or legal reasons.
In most cases, the provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the corresponding Ordinance (OFADP) apply to our processing of personal data. The level of protection thereby afforded is comparable to that of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Some occasional processing can also be directly subject to the provisions of the GDPR as well as the provisions of any other data protection laws. For these cases, this privacy policy refers to the legal basis (contract performance or overriding legitimate interest) on which we process personal data.
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in the interest of confidentiality, integrity and contractual availability of personal data. In accordance with our risk assessment, we implement admission controls in particular, but also access controls as well as procedures for regular checking, assessment and evaluation of the measures.
We store personal data only to the extent and for the duration required to fulfill the purpose for which the personal data was collected, we have a legitimate interest in storing the data or are required to do so by law.
To whom we forward your personal data
We only disclose your personal data to other third parties if you have expressly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do so or if this is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular, to enforce claims arising from the contractual relationship. In addition, we disclose your data to third parties insofar as this is necessary for the use of the website.
To the extent that courts or authorities request, and we are legally required, we will pass on your personal data to them or other third parties.
Webhosting
The web host of our website is with Hostpoint, Neue Jonastrasse 60, 8640 Rapperswil-Jona Switzerland. The website is hosted on servers in Switzerland.
Data transfer abroad
We are entitled to transfer your personal data to third parties (contracted service providers) abroad for the purpose of the data processing described in this privacy policy. These are bound to protect data to the same extent as we are. If the level of data protection in a country does not correspond to that in Switzerland or in the EU/ EEA, we will contractually ensure that the protection of your personal data corresponds to that in Switzerland or in the EU/ EEA at all times.
Your rights in relation to your personal data
Amendments
We may amend this Data Protection Statement at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website shall apply.
